Seys said he and Clark Griffith, min- ager of the Washington baseball team, held stakes for bets inade by Abe Attell and Levi, totalling 50. Seys testified he met Attell in the Sinton hotel in Cincinnati the night before the first game. Attell and Levi were taking turns making bets that Cincinpati would win the first game, giving odds of 6 to 5 and that Cin. cinnati would win the series, he said. An intimation that Attell may not have been caught by the gamblers in the third game came when Seys tes- tiflel Aitell told him*he was not bet ting on Cincinnati in the third game as he thought Pitcher Dick Kerr would win for Chicago. Bill Burns, the state's witness, had testified Attell told him he had lost a lot of money on the third game, thinking the players would throw it. Seys then testified to paying some of Levi's and Attell’s bets in Chicago the day of the third game. Seys also identified Ben Levi, brother of Louis and also a defendant, as one of the men making bets. It became known today that David Zeloer had been indicted as David Zelzer. His attorney said he would not take action to have the indictment quashed or this ground at present.

Len Small, in- dicted by a Sangamon county grand | jury for the embezzlement of inter. est on state funds while state treas. urer, is immune from arrest is to be decided by Judge EB. S. Smith of the circuit court today, Governor Small's attorneys advised him to resist arrest on the grounds that he would violate the constitution and betray the people by submitting If the court decides the governor is immune the warrant for his arrest would probably be withheld until the expiration of his term, three and a half years hence. If the decision is adverse the sheriff will be instructed to serve the war rant immediately. In the latter event the situation is fraught with possibili ties, ranging from peaceful surrender by the governor to the calling out of state troops to forcibly resist presen- tation of the warrants. Governor Small's attorneys contend that he, in bowing to the judicial branch of the government would vio: late a section of the Gdnstitution which establishes judicial, executive and legislative branches of the state government and forbids the usurpa tion by one branch of the powers of another. Following advice of his counsel, Governor, Small later issued a state- ment in which he virtually declared he would resist any attempt to arrest him, and pointed out that the gover. nor has the power to call out state troops to hold off sheriff's deputies at the point of the bayonet.
