charged with aiding Alvin ).
Paris in al attempted fix of last
December's football Champion
shin.same between the New YORK
Giants and the Chicago Bears.
The case went to the general
sessions court jury at 1905 p. m.
(ESf). Judge Saul S. STREET IN,
struoted the jury, which recessed
for lunch at 1870 and returned al

calmly and without fear or favor.
Judge Streit's charge, lasting
more than an hour, reviewed he
volusainous evidence offered dur
ing the weeklong trial OF Davlo
Krakauer, Harvey Stemmer ana
Jerome ZaroWitz, who were IN
dicted after Paris already con-
victed of attempted bribery OF
two New York Giant football play
ers, had appeared before the
grand jury.
The jury was instructed to con-
slider verdicts of guilty or lnno-
cent of bribery and conspiracy.
As for testimony by Paris, the
. court said, ''you must take into
consideration what he may ex-
pect to get by testifying'"
Paris, awaiting sentence on his
conviction and a prosecution wit
ness, had been advised by the
Judge to cooperate with the dis
trict attorneys office if he ex-
pected any consideration.
The three defendants were
charged with conspiring with
Paris to offer the two players,
Frank Filchok and Merle Hapes,
81. 500 each to 'lay down" in the
game with the Bears.
They originally were indicted on
two counts of bribery and n OF
conspiracy. One bribery count was
dismissed by Judge STREET yes

kauer but the court declined to
drop the identical count against
Stemmer.

before midnight last night. AS
s~istant District Attorney George
P. Monaghan appealed to the
jury to return convictions in order
to preserve clean sport in this
country"
Paris testimony was attacked
by Samuel Segal, counsel for
Krakauer, who charged that the
chief prosecution witness wants
to help himself, and to do Sc
would discolor the truth"
Zarowitz was the sole defendant
to take the stand in his defense.

After the Cubs had gotten a three
run start on the Pirates, Davis led
off the Port City scoring by rap

nobody on. But it charged up the

the fifth by scoring three more
times. They added two more in
the top of the sixth, and it look

the Cubs jumped on Andrews for
those three runs.
