TEX RICKARD’S GIRL ACCUSER FORCED TO ADMIT SHZ TELLS LIES WHEN TO HER ADVANTAGE | (gg pane aes Hearing Goes Over Till Next Monday, After Grilling of Alice Ruck. The hearing of the charges brought against George L. ("Tex") Rickard, jessee and manager of Madison Square Garden, by agents of the Childeen's Soctety, adjourned last night by Magistrate George W. Simp- sun in the West Side Conrt, will be resumed next Monday night, Rickard in the mean time remaining out on his bail bond of $1,000 For three hours, before an audience made up of many of the best-known sporting men in New York, Alice Ruck, the fifteen-year-old girl on whose charges Rickard was arrested, was under direct examination and cross-examination. The child, the principal witness in the arraignment of Rickard on a charge of attack against a minos, is small, pale and not good looking. She told in utmost detail of her visits to the swimming pool in Madison Square Garden, of her acquaintance with Rickard and of alleged visits to two apartments In West 47th Street. { Not once did the girl charge she had been attacked by Rickard; on the other hand, she admitted freely that her alleged relations with Rickard were voluntary. Just as she was being placed on the witness stand, a woman jumped up in the rear of the court room and ran toward the Magistrate's bench. “Your Honor,” she cried, “my little girl is not telling the truth; sho has been influenced. She has never had anything to do with Mr, Rickard," The woman was the child's mother, a servant employed by &@ family in Mt. Vernon, She was quieted and re- turned to her seat with the assurance that she would be heard later. ‘The child's testimony was that she had met Rickard in the Garden, that she and twelve-year-old Anna Hess | had gone to Rickard’s rooms in the | * BUILDERS OFFER EXPERT AD FR UNTERNYER PLAN (Continued from First Page.) , of Negroe thirty at Fort to the | apartm i} As other tenants moved out because of the conduct of the Negroes, other apartments \ rented to Negroes, attracted y advertisements in news.
