(Tex) Rickard, internationally known sports promoter, As she recited her story in a lisping voice the man who had arranged some of the greatest pugilistic encounters in history, sat with arms folded, staring at her. then to whisper, in his counsel's ear or to make notes with a pencil. The girl told how she had been intro- duced to Rickard by her clum, Nellie (Gasko, last summer at the swimming pool in Madison Square Garden. He gave them both money she said, and told them to come and see him at his office in the tower of the bullding. Upon their visit, she testified, Rickard gave them a note and asked them to call at an Zoartment in West 47th street. They called at the apartment later and there the alleged assault took place. He gave them each $10, she sald, and asked them to call again, Then_ followed a story of other visits, all but one when she was alone, the oth- er in company with the Gasko girl These visits covered several months. She | said Rickard also tried to assault tho Gasko girl but that she repulsed him. The amount of money he gave them, she said, varled from time to time, ranging from $5 to $20. After each alleged assault, Sarah tes- tified, the promoter asked them to tell nothing of what happened. Once she ask- ed Rickard to help her to get her broth- er out of jail in Milwaukee, where he had been arrested for stealing. Rickard promised to help, she said, and later she brought her motler to see him. A letter was introduced In evidence, alleged to have been written to Mrs. Schoenfeld by Rickard on -January 18 last, In which he enclosed a letter to the governor of Wisconsin, asking that steps be taken to release. Samuel from prison. The letter asked Mrs. Schoen- feld to write dlrectly to the governor and to enclose the other letter. ment was taken until tomorrow. In out- lining the case to the jury, Ferdinand Pecora, assistant district attorney, said that the state would prove that when the news of Rickard's arrest in connection with alleged assaults on other girls was printed, the Schoenfeld and Gasko girls met him by telephone appointment and that in an automobile ride for more than an. hour through Central Park, he urged them to teli the authos nothing of what had baopened. He told them, Mr. Tecora said. to sa¥. if necessary, that ‘another man did it.” He warned that it they told, they would “be sent dway” until they were elghteen vears old and that he would glve them no more mon- er.
