Chicago, March 27.
One hundred and forty-four in-dietments, naming 18 men have been returned by a grand jury in the County Court as the result of a second investigation into the alleged "throwing" of games in the 1919 world's baseball series, at Cincinnati by "White Sox" players. Eight separate indictments have been brought against each person involved.
The accused include Cicotte, Williams, Jackson, McMullin, Gandil, Risberg, Felsch, Weaver, Chase, Burns, Abe Attell, Rache Brown, Joseph J. Sullivan and five others.
Officials at the State Attorney's office state that the evidence showed that Carl Z. Orkben Franklin, of St. Louis, had organized the game-throwing plot and that Sullivan had handled the work of organization, while Felsch and Abe Attell acted as travelling agents. Ben and Louis Levi, of Des Moines, who are also indicted, are reported to have made $80,000. The new indictments also charge the defendants with defrauding those "White Sox" players not in the plot, of approximately two thousand dollars each,—the difference between the individual winners' and losers' shares in the receipts.—U.
