Two in Bribery Case
Accused Of Shaking
Down Third Partner
BY The Assoeiuied Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-A former
Long Island University basketball
captain and two other men were
indicted yesterday on charges Of
bribing q New York University
player to flx game at Madison
Square Garden year ago.
At the same time, an assistant
district attorney said one of those
involved had been shaken down"
for several thousand dollars by the
other two to keep his name out of
the Inushrooming scandal.
Named in two-count indict-
ment were Jackie Goldsmith. 80,
q former LIU star from Brooklyn:
Daniel Lamont. A, Of Altoona.
Pa, and Joseph Serota, 3S, OF
Brooklyn.
$1,000 Bribe Alleged.
The three are accused Of having
given Harvey tConnie) Schaff,
former NYU player, $4,000 to hold
down his teams score with Cor
nell January /. 1851. Favored
NYU was upset by Cornell. 69-56.
EchaH is now serving q six
month prison term for his part
in the conspiracy. Lamont. q
former race horse owner whose
real name was listed as Donate
Lamorte, is free on $4,000 bail
while Serota is held in protective
custody.
Goldsmith has been free on
$4,000 bail on another indict-
ment, charging he brided players
who followed him on the LIU
team.
Assistant District Attorney Vim
cent A. G. O'Connor accused
Goldsmith and Serota of taking
money from Lamont to keep
Lamont's name out Of the con-
spiracy.
O'Connor said Goldsmith went
to Altoona last August and re-
ceived $4,000 from Lamont. On
two subsequent occasions, the as
sistant DA said, Goldsmith re-
ceived payments of $4,000 from
Lamont, which were delivered by
O man named William Belskin.
Free on $500 Bail.
Belskin, according to o'Connor.
also saw Lamont give Serota
$3.50 in Altoona. Pa. Belskin,
new free on $500 bail, had been
held as material witness.
The three defendants surren-
dered yesterday morning to Dis
trict Attorney Frank S. Hogan.
They were arraigned before Gen.
eral Sessions Judge Francis L.
Valente.
The indictments charge Gold
smith. Lamont and Serota met in
a midtown hotel December IL,
1850, to discuss the bribery and
then Goldsmith and Serota made
the deal with Schaff the day be-
fore the game. The payoff alleg-
edly was made January 9, 1851.
The arraignment was marked by
Q sharp exchange between O'Con-
nor and Lamont's attorney, Julius
Yablok.
When Judge Valente asked for
Lamont's occupation, Yablok said
Lamont was a shoe manufacturer,

Political
Notes
BY DON WHITEHEAD

MIAMI Up - The political in
fluence of former Sen. Claude Pep
per became the great unknown fac
tor today in the outcome of the
Democratic presidential popular
tty contest Tuesday between Sen.
Kefauver of Tennessee and Sen.
Russell of Georgia.
Pepper - a one-time New Deal
and Fair Deal strong man-threw
his support to Kefauver late Sun
day in a last-round move that
brought bitter criticism from the
Russell camp.
Sen. Russell accused Pepper Of
working both sides Of the street
BY supporting Kefauver in the pref
erential primary while backing
Russell delegate candidates for the
Democratic National Convention.
The Pepper maneuver came in
the closing hours of the Kefauver-
Russell campaign when both can
didates were moving into Dade
(Miami) County to make their fl
nal bids for votes.
Russell was the favorite in Flor
ida's first presidential preferential
primary in 20 years. But Kefauver
hackers were hopeful Pepper
support might tip the scales on the
side of the coonskin cap wearing
Tennessean.
Both candidates scheduled last
minute speaking tours in the Mi
ami area today and they were
slated to meet Tonight % p. m.
EST on a television panel.
A record smashing vote was
predicted Tuesday because of high
interest in the presidential race
and local contests. The polls will
open at a. m. and close at p. m.
(EST).
Pepper was defeated for re-nom-
nation to the Senate two years
ago by Sen. George Smathers. But
Floridians concede he still com
mands considerable political in
fluence throughout the state.
Although supporting Kefauver in
the popularity contest, Pepper ad'
mittedly is backing block of can
didates seeking delegate posts I'M
