Chicago, July 25.—A new baseball scandal was brewing today as agents of the state’'s attorney continued their frantic search for immunity waivers and confessions signed before the grand jury last fall by Eddie Ci- cotte, Claude Williams and Joe Jack- son. Information in the hands of George Gorman, assistant state’s attorney, in- dicates. a New York gambler paid $10,000 for the papers soon after they were stolen from the state’s at- torney’s files, Gorman said. Other Papers Missing. Another development of today was the discovery that a signed statement made by Willilams in the office of Al- fred Austrian, attorney for the White Sox has disappeared from Austrian's files. In this statem=2ny made public by Austrian when Williams went be- fore the grand jury, the ballplayer detailed the ramifications of the al- leged plot to lose the 1912 world’s . series. The grand jury evidence apparent- 1y dropped fram sight during the con- fusion ineident to' the retirement of Sfate’s Attorney Maclay Hoyne and the taking over of the office by State's Attorney Crowe. Papers in New York. - The papers are said to have ap- peared in New York during the hear- ing'of the extradition / proceedings agalnst Abe Attell who has been named by Bill Burns, a state witness, as a ringleader in the alleged plot. An attorney for Attell- waving some papers in' court, ‘declared, “I have here the. full ings of ‘the Cook county grand jury,” it was said. ,Docnments for Sale. , - Other ‘reports - being ° investigated by the state’s attorney -include one that the, New York .gambler who is sald to have purchased the stolen evidence later offered to sell it to a New York newspaper when he found there were no particularly damaging references to himself. The news- paper declined to buy. State’s Attorney Crowe is preparing . to ‘lay evidence in connection with the theft of the records before the grand jury. Fight Over Evidence. The fight over admission as evi- dence of the grind jury confessions of Eddie Cicotte, Claud Williams and Joe’ Jackson, former White ' Sox players, was resumed when the sec- ond week of testimony in the base- ball ‘trial began today. Hartley Replogle, former assistant state’s attorney who directed the first grand jury inquiry, was ready for further cross examination by the _defense over his testimony Friday, that the confessions were made vol- untarily and that the players were made no promises concerning im- munity. Judge Charles A. Mac- Donald. who ordered the investigsa- tion, Alfred Austrian, Chicago Am- erican league attorney to whom the players came before going to the grand jury and Harry Brigham, fore- fman of the grand jury, were pre- pard to follow Replogle on the stand. Eddie Cicotte, former White Sox pitcher was called to the stand to- day to tell his own story of how he confessed after Replogle’s cross ex- amination had been finished with a further denial by the witness that any promises of immunity had been made the men who gonfessed. Cicotte Testifies. Cicotte said he was introduced to Replogle by Mr. Austrian, who said “this is> Mr. Replogle of the state’s attorney’s office.” “Austrian”, said Cicotte “said to me: ‘Replogle has the goods on you Eddie. You know this will be a .long trial. You don’t want your Wwife and babies here then. Now come clean with Replogle and he'll take care of you. {‘They took me to Judge McDonald. He asked me if I couldn’t tell more about the gamblers. I said I could and McDonald then said ‘go ahead and indict him." Promised Immunity. “I said to Replogle on my way to the grand jury room ‘don’t this go about what you and Austrian promised me.’ He said ‘sure it does’ Then I went before the grand jury.” Under cross-examination by Mr. Gorman of the state attorney staff Cicotte said he had heard last fall ef Billy Maharg's statement in Philadelphia in which the latter told details of the alleged conspiracy. Harry Grabiner secretary aof the ‘White Sox took him to Austrian’s office he said. . “And you sailed right in and told of getting ten thousand dollars didn’t you?” asked Gorman. { “Not In Austrian’s office,” said Ci- ‘eotte.

The events lead« ing up to the tragedy as told by Salvatore Bendott of ‘50 Lafayetts street, a cousin of the dead man, are’ as follows: - 3 Y i Digesare, who was married and had & family in Italy, met the young this céuntry from | months ago. They went to live togethet at a Lawlor stréet house, and later moved to 357 Arch street. As far as is known, the couple got alefg well to- gether-until, last week, the woman re- ceived a letter from her mother in Italy, imploring her to break her re- lations with Dicesare who had 3 wife and family living in Sulmona in the province of.Aquilla, Italy.

Bendott and Dicesare made their way to the Arch street house where the young woman was found packing up her belongings. Bendott talked with her for a time, and it was not until he learned of the letter she had received, that he then agreed with her in her leaving Di- cesare. Seeing that his efforts were of no avail, Dicesare made an attempt to strike the woman, but was prevented by Bendott. He then left the house, and Bendott and the woman boarded a car, and headed for the Uberti nome. The Uberti family was known to both, and it was there that the woman requested that she be taken.
