WOULD HOLD THE MONEY AND
PAY SAMEJW CASE ENDED
White Says He Handed $500 to Juror Lockwood and Told
Him He Had $3500 More, to Be Paid if He Qualfiied as a
Juror This $3500 He Turned Over to District Attorney
Fredericks After He Was Arrested-Lockwood Corrobor
ates the Story He Also Gives Up the $500 Paid Him After
Franklin's Arrest.
Los Angeles, Calif,, Dec. 11. For
mer Governor Henry T. Gage,, chief
counsel for Frankl n, and his asso
ciate, Lecompte Davis, reached court
some time before the arrival of Jus
tice Young this morning. They were
accompanied by Detectives Franklin,
who appeared to be In a distinctly
chipper, mood. Gage stated that he
was prepared to go on with his case
today. Prospective Juror Lockwood
was also an early arrival. It was
planned that he wuld be the chief
witness for the state. Robert F.
Bain and Mrs. Bln also were on
hand when court opened.
Gage stated that he would like to
waive the preliminary examination
when court opened but this opposed
hy Assistant District Attorney Ford,
who said the only way thla could be
done wag to have the defendant take
the stand and '"tell the whole story."
,. . "Of course .be . will not do that,"
he added. . '
"Cap" White on the Stand.
"Cap" C. E. White was the first
witness. He said he saw Franklin
on November 27 between 11 and 1
o'clock. Franklin came to his place
of business, he said, and said to him:
"I want a private talk with you."
They went Into a back room, White
said, and Franklin told hlsj he was
employed by the defense In the Mc-
Namara case to investigate Jurors,
and that he was thoroughly assured
of the innocence of the McNamaras.
The prosecution was spending thou
sands to get a Jury that would con
vict and that his side was using the
same tactics.
"He then told me." continued
White, "that there was an old friend
of ours on the panel, with whom he
had talked and wh' bad become con
vinced that a few thousand dollars
would come in handy In his old age.
This man was close to the district
attorney's office and was sure to
qualify, and all that was wanted was
that I become custodian of $3,500 to
be paid to Lockwood in the event or
an acquittal or a disagreement of
the McNamara Jury. He told me
that this would be perfectly safe for
me as they already had two accepted
Jurors who would 'vote right.'"
Franklin TtBlts Him.
White said Franklin came to his
house that night and told him he had
not yet been able to get the money
and asked him to go out to Lock
wood's with him. He refused, but it
was agreed that they were to meet
the next Monday at Third and Main
strets: They met as arranged ana
Franklin passed him a roll of bills
and told him they would go to Ios
Angeles and Third streets to meet
Lockwood. Franklin loft him and
crossed the street and then Lock
wood came along.
"I told him," said White, "that
' Franklin had put the money in my
hands to be paid him If he .malined
as a Juror in the McNamara case
and secured an acquittal of a huns
iurv. I told him he was to have IM
on account and that I was to keep.
the balance. $3500 until the end or
the trial. I handed him a $500 bill and
he put it in his pocket. Franklin
had told me to give Lockwood this
$500 after we met that morning
Shortly afterward I was arrested
and taken to the district attorneys
office, where I turned the $3500 over
to District Attorney Fredericks.

his office the following week and did
so. There Franklin toljl him he
probably would be called as a Juror
in the McNamara case and pledged
him to secrecy.
"He then told me," said Lockwood,
'"George, we are both getting old
and we haven't taken advantage of
our opportunities. It's time we
worked our heads. There Is $2,000
in it for you if you'll qualify as a
Juror in the McNamara case.' I
asked him how it could be' done, and
he said: 'There will be $500 in it at
the start and If the prosecution re
jects you you can keep tht,. If you
qualify you can get the other $1500."
I asked him how I'd get the other
$1500 and he said It could be paid
through my wife. I told him my
wife would not stand for anything
like that, and he said, then we could
make other arrangements. Then he
told me l could vote for acquittal be
cause It had been proven that Mc
Mantgal had been with Burns for
Iz weeks or two months prior to the
arrests in the case. He told me that
there would be plenty of reasonable
doubts in the case' and that I could
easily Justify my voting for acquittal.
Then he told me hi would leave the
balance of the money with Jerry
Leftwidge, but I to'd him I did not
know Leftwidge ard we parted.
"A week later he came to my house
and I told him that I would not have
anything to do with the matter.. He
told me I was foolish to be afraid
of him and that I ought to take the
money.

"As he left me t went to the dis
trict attorney and told him all about
it Soon afterward Captain Freder
icks came to me and told me if
Franklin renewed the proposition to
go through with it snd keep the dis
trict attorney informed. Franklin
came to me on November 26 and
told me that my name had been
drawn as a Juror and he then took
me around back of the barn and
said: 'George, there Is $4,000 In this
for you.'
"He told me It would be perfectly
safe and that I wo"'d get the money.
I told him when a man goes Into a
thing like this he must be sure be Is
getting his purchase price. I sug
gested a name that had been sug
gested to me by the district attorney,
but Franklin said no. that he would
trust Cap White a thousand times
where he would not trust the man I
mentioned once. That man was
Henrv Yonkin, who was satisfactory
ln th district attorney. Then he of-!
tered me $200 on account but I re
fused it, saying I only wanted one
transaction and he must give me the
jr.00 at once. Then lie made arrange

told me that he vould have to see
Clarence Darrow to arrange a safe

Convinced that their client, Pearl

Wife Has Him Arrested.
Greene's wife secured a divorce
from him In Tacoma, and in the de
cree she was awarded the custoy of
the child, and alimony to the extent
of $50 a month. Since the divorce,
his lawyers say, he has paid one-third
of the alimony. Though there was
no clause inserted In the decree that
he should support the child, lately
his wife had a warrant Issued for him
