Lost $40,000.
BUNCO GAME NOT VARIED
Jron Merchant Induced to Part With
910,000 on Wrestling Match With
"Tragic" Ending Mrs.
Maybray in Courtroom.
COUNCIL BLTJFFS. Iowa, March 12.
The Government placed some of its star
witnesses on the stand In the prosecu
tion of John C. Maybray and his as
sociates in the Federal Court today.
The principal point the Government
seeks to establish is the Illegal use of
the malls. From a mass of documen
tary evidence, applications for post-
, office boxes in Council Bluffs, Omaha
end San Francisco were Introduced and
Identified. ' One of these, made in Coun
cil Bluffs was accompanied by an Iden
tification of Maybray as the person who
'"wrote and presented the application.
Victims Tell" of Losses.
. Special Assistant Attorney-General
Rush questioned most of the witnesses.
iHe called several victims, who recited
in a dramatic manner the aitory of their
losses of sum's ranging from $300 to
'310,000.
The aggregate 6f the sums alleged
to have been lost by victims who tes
tified today exceeds $40,000. Witnesses
appeared from as far East as Pitts
burg and from as far West as San
Francisco. Operations in New Orleans.
Denver, Council Bluffs and South Bend,
Ind., were described and in nearly every
case the mode o.f relieving the victim
of his money was identical with that
introduced in the former testimony.
James Tierney, an Iron and metal
.merchant, of Streator, 111., told how he
.lost $10,000 on a wrestling match in
JJew Orleans In 1908.
Tierney was induced, according to
his testimony, to go to New Orleans by
Keno C Smith, at that time Police
Magistrate of streator. 111., and known
to Tierney many years. Smith is un
der Indictment in the present case. He
then detailed the making of the book
in wh'ich nearly $100,000 in bets were
. registered. He said he was induced
to lend his own $10,000 to Smith tem
porarily to make up the purse. Then
came the match with the usual tragio
ending. One wrestler being badly in
jured, and he hurried north to avoid
arrest.
Match Held In Barn.
"I expected the match to be held In a
fine hall," he testified, "but they pulled
It off in an old barn down on the levee."
A. Si Johnson, a farmer living near
Ptreator, told of losing $10,000 on a wrest
ling match at South Bend. Ind.. and
-Henry Stogsdlll. of Cabool, Mo., said he
contributed $3000 on a horse race at Den
ver. William Scott, of Pawnee, Okla., was
recalled and identified two letters he
wrote to Stogsdill at Cabool urging him
to try the game again.
Mrs. R. B. Herrlman, who was sub
penaed from Los Angeles by the Gov
ernment, has been in court since the
trial began but was dismissed this
morning. She declined to talk for pub
lication. Mrs. Maj-bray has been present in
the courtroom throughout the trial, ac
companied by several other vsomen.
She exchanges glances of confidence
with her husband whenever his coun
sel scores a point in his favor, and often
assists his attorneys by refreshing their
minds on points in the testimony.
Letters Are Admitted.
A legal battle over the admission of
letters, and other documentary evi
dence obtained by Postal Inspector
Swenson soon after the arrest of May
bray" at Little Rock opened the
session. E. L. McCord, of keoSu, la.,
one of the attorneys for the defense,
made a strong plea to have the testi
mony excluded, but was finally over
ruled. Counsel for the Government Imme
diately began reading the letters to
the jury. Photographs identified yes
terday as those of the man who posed
as j. w. uraraer, secretary of the
"Millionaires" Club," were shown ' ' to
i Postmaster Reyburn and J. R. Miller.
i of Brooklyn, la., who testified that
they were the pictures of Joseph Ver
Btratten, for 35 years a resident of
Brooklyn. Verstratten Is one of the
men Indicted with Maybray, but is not
under arrest.
CUew Found In Opened Letter.
Cumulative evidence regarding . the
i transactions of Maybray and others was
-.given by Chief Clerk Johnson of the
local postoffice and Postmaster Hazel
ton. A letter addressed -Boi 4" was
dropped Into box 3 by mistake and the
renter of box 3 returned it opened. The
contents aroused suspioion.
C. J. Catc, assistant postmaster n.t
Little Rock. Ark., identified an applica
tion alleged to have been made by May
bray for a postoffice box in that city.
Mr. Cate proved a good witness and
Identified letters which were received
in this city addressed to Maybray. the
contents of which related to the opera,
tions of the defendants. Maybray
showed his first signs of nci"rousn?ss
during the Riving of this testimony,
and read all of the letters Introduced
as evidence.
James Rothery. who gave his occu
pation as that of a beer agent of Ifittle
Rock, testified to having introduced
Maybray when he made application for
B. postoffice box there.
Witness Goes 20 0 0 Miles.
Cornelius R. Morris, who testified that
lie had been box clerk In the San Fran
cisco postoffice 40 years, was called to
Identify an application for a box in that
city. He also identified a card applica
tion for a change of aJcrcss from San
Francisco to Los Angelc3. On cross-examination
he admitf.d having traveled
2000 miles to give his testimony.
Two more victims. C. A. McKane and
Joseph P. Walker, both of Denver, Col.,
told of their losing $ii!C0 and $500 resp'c
tively on Council Bluffs sporting events.
McKane backed Ed McCoy, a Denver
boxer, against a man named Casey. The
oft-told-of bladder-blood appeared in the
second round, when McCoy went down
for the count. McKane admitted, how
ever, that he did not balleve until after
ho had reached his home in Denver that
McCoy was not really hurt. McCoy ac
companied him back to D-:nver, he said.
Walker, a Denver saloonkeeper, told
of losing $5000 on a horse race. He
frankly told of how he had often bet on
a string of horses owned by Willard
Powell, of Denver, one of the defend
ants in this case, and how he readily
consented to come to Council Bluffs.

MUCH EVIDENCE SHUT OUT
Defense Scores Heavily In Gordon
Trial at Spokane.
FPOKANE. Wash.. March 12. (Special.)
By decisions rendered by Judge Henry
L. Kennan in the Gordon embezzlement
case today, the state is not permitted
to prove:
By Cashier W. D. Vincent, of the Old
National Bank and by the books of the
bank, the payment of Great Northern
money to Gordon on the Gordon drafts,
because the drafts themselves, in the pos
sesuion of the Great Northern Railway,
are in law the "beE" evidence.
By N. E. Nuzum, of the law firm of
Nuzum & Nuzum, associate attorneys for
Gordon, that Gordon confessed his ehort
ags to Nuzum at a conference in a room
In the TuurisTt Hotel In Seattle, August 15,
1908. the confession being held to be
privileged, although Nuzum testified that
he ha dnot been retained by Gordon at
the. time.
Evidence Is Only Skeleton.
Turned back in every direction by ad
verse decisions of the court on the ad
missibility of proftere devidence. Prose
cuting Attorney Fred C. Pugh and his
o,siauia lougni an day to get Derore
the jury the facts held by them to be
material in the case, only to ba baffled
in the end, and to bring their case almost
to an end with only a skeleton of proof
In support of the allegations In the In
formation. Only two -witnesses were heard, and
their testimony was brief and com
paratively unimportant, practically the
entire day being devoted to argument
by attorneys on the admissibility of the
testimony which the state offered to
introduce. But one witness remains to
be called by the state, W. W. Tolman.
who has been once on the stand and
will be placed on again Monday morn
ing for the purpose of supplementing
his testimony In one particular.
Gordon's Own Decision Against Him.
In arguing to the court the admis
sibility of bank records in the absence
of drafts, Mr. Pugh cited a decision
written by Gordon himself at the time
he was a judge of the Supreme Court,
holding in part:
"We think It was not Indispensable
to the Introduction of the books of the
bank tha tthe checks should be pro
duced. As already stated, the proof
showed that appellant's passbook was
balanced from time to time with the
boks of the bank and found to agree
with such bank books, and that there
after the book was returned to appel
lant together with the checks. This,
We think, was competent proof for the
purpose of showing that the charges
made upon the books of the bank to the
account of the appellant, because of
checks drawn by him on his account,
were proper and legal charges."
