Goren on Bridge


national championship tournament
In Atlantic City carried the dra-
matte weight Of the one shown to-
day. I am indebted for this choice
morsel 10 Alvin Lande Of Cleveland,
a member Of the victorious mems
team, which included Arthur Kra-
vatz OF Chicago, Sol Mogal Of New
York, JEFF Click Of Miami and Ar
thur Goldsmith Of Cleveland.
In the South position, Landes
voice was heard but twice during
the auction, and In unorthodox as
well as contradictory tones. His
pass As dealer was made, OF course,
with the intention of launching q
surprise attack later in the day, and
strangely enough was the direct
means Of his eliciting certain in
formation which permitted him to
fulfill the eventual contract In an
abnormal manner.
When his partner Goldsmith
opened in routine manner with one
club, Lande assumed a rather diff
ferent role and bounced without
further ceremony into q slam IN
hearts. How did he know that he
could make it, you ask. He didn't.
But 1t has been my observation that
he is not the type of player who
Is averse to taking an occasional
chance. In consideration of the
silence of the opposition, he was
willing to assume the risk that
partner held two aces. And If they
were not the right ones (that is, II
one Of them was the ace Of clubs
but not the ace of diamonds) there
was nevertheless the chance that
the opening lead might be favor.
able and afford him chance to
discard the losing diamond.
West led the king Of diamonds
and chose to shift to q trump.
Playing In a casual manner, declarer
might be tempted to draw the
trumps and then trust to a 3-2
break of the spades for the balance
Of the tricks. While this break OF
the spades is highly probable, the
Al split is by no means remote and
an effort should be made to guard
against such a contingency. 1t is at
this point that Lande's original pass
proved of eminent assistance to him
in sketching his campaign. West
has revealed possession of the ace
and king of diamonds, so that his
holding Of the ace of clubs may be
regarded as highly improbable, in
view of his failure to open the bid
ding in second position. This is
further corroborated by the circum-
stances that playing in q match
game he failed to double an ap-
parently blind bid of six hearts,
which would be the human thing
to do, holding ace-king. ace.
On this line Of reasoning Lande
decided that East's possession OF
the ace of clubs was a better bet
than to play for a 3-2 spade break.
He therefore won the second trick
in his own hand and at trick three
played to the ace of hearts. He
then led the king of clubs and East
did not cover, but Lande discarded
a spade and the battle was over.
At several tables where the slam
in hearts was reached, West at
tempted to cash the second dia-
mond trick. This was ruffed, but
one discard was not enough. and
when spades failed to break, de-
clarer fell one short Of his contract.

only one thing and that was to i'm
peach the testimony of the present
Sheriff of Holmes county wynn.
States Attorney Morgan said the
accusations against Murtagh should
be heard by the jury as he was put
on the stand by the defense and
held up as an ex-law enforcement
officer, implying the dignity and
prestige of that office should be
considered by the jury in weighing
his words.
Instead" Mr.. Morgan said,
she comes in here with the stripes
of office on him and complete
failure in regards to the law enforce
ment duties of his office"
Testimony on Murtagh was ruled
out by presiding Judge Gillespie and
the jury was called back and the
trial continued.
Mr.. Strider
Mr.. Strider in testifying for the
defense said he had been an en-
ployee of the Department of Agri
culture for approximately IA years.
He said his home was in Lexing
ton and that he was county super
visor of the Farmers Home adj
ministration, formerly known as the
FSA.
He said he was at the Rainbow
Garden in Durant on either April
% or oath. that he could not be
sure, but that it was the night of
the day they held the Mandy Polk
trial in Lexington.
He said he had supper with Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Murtagh that night
at the Rainbow and that Marshall
Powell and his wife waited on them
He said they were there from about
900 or 9:15 to 1890 o'clock.
Strider said he did not see Sheriff
Wynn at the Rainbow on the night
in question. He said quite a few peo-
pie were there and admitted Mr..
Wynn could have been there and
him not see him.
At this point Mr.. Strider said if
it pleased the court he would "like
to make a little statement" where
upon Judge Gillespie said he
thought the witness had better con-
fine his remarks to answering the
questions.
When asked by the state what he
was doing at the Rainbow, Mr. Strid-
er said: Well we ate and then you
know how it is at a place like that"
Mr.. Strider said he didn't go to
a place like the Rainbow" often.
Character Witnesses
Character witnesses were SUBJ
poened by the defense for Powell
and they appeared at court every
day of the trial but were never call
ed to testify. Included among this
group were Mayor w. E. Howell,
Marcus Love, Jr, Mrs. Eugene Cole,
Mrs. ]. D. Alsbury, Constable Casey
Griffin.
Defense attorneys, however, elect
ed not to try to prove the good
character of the defendant.
