SLEUTH CHIEF DESCRIBES OIL TRIAUPYING Detectives Told Not to Approach Jurors, They Stalked, Says Ruddy. Bv United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—An expert deteective leader today gave Justice P. L. Siddcfris a detailed story of how sleuths under his direction spied on Fall-Sinclair oi> trial jurors. Charles G. Ruddy, British veteran of the Boer War, called as the first’ witness in the Burns-Sinclair contempt trial, told of being ordered to Washington and opening an hour-by-hour espionage for Henry Mason Day, and to Harry E. Sinclair. Ruddy gave evidence regarded as especially damaging to Sheldon Clark, Sinclair official, one of the six contempt defendants. Sinclair, Day and W. S. Burns, along with C. L. Veitsch, Baltimore Burns men, are co-defendants. Ruddy said he' gave his jury reports to Clark as well as Day. He said he was introduced to Clark by Day and referred to both Day and Clark as “the principals” in<a business report to his New York office.

Reported to Day Sinclair and Day have informed the court Clark was not involved in the jury shadowing whjch they admit starting. Ruddy said he received his orders to come to Washington by long distance telephone from W. Sherman Burns, son of W. J. Burns and active head of the agency. "I reported to Mr. Day and identified myself as soon as I came to Washington,” Ruddy said. Day gave him a list of FallSinclair oil trial jurors. Ruddy said, and ordered him to shadow them. “What did Day say?” asked United States Attorney Peyton Gordon. “He asked me how many men I would have here. I said eight by tomorrow. He then instructed me to watch the jurors. Then he specifically said he did not want any detective to approach any juror. Not to Approach Jurors “I checked in at the Wardman Park hotel with :ny assistant, G. H Robbins. Then I proceeded to Baltimore to confer with C. L. Veitsch, Baltimore Burns agency chief. Ruddy said Veitsch provided two more detectives. From Baltimore he talked with W. Sherman Burns in New York by telephone. “He told me to be very, very careful to instruct the men not to approach any juror,” Ruddy said.' Ruddy told of the arrangements made in Baltimore for Veitsch to send cash in three SSOO lots to Washington to pay the agents’ expenses, and of the concentration of fifteen agents from Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. The agents first were quartered in a cheap hotel, but later moved to the Wardman Park. The agents’ reports /written by hand, were typed and given to Day at the Wardman Park and at Day’s residence. “Did you meet Mr. Clark here in Washington?” “Yes.” Ruddy said Clark on one occasion called alone to get a day’s reports on jurors. Day had introduced Clark to Ruddy, the detective said. Attorney Gordon then brought out that each agent had a cryptic designation used in signing reports, and at his request Ruddy gave the number of each of the fifteen as Gordon gave the name. “X-20, L-36, S-70, S-71,” Ruddy had them at his tongue’s tip. “Did you send any agent to shadow any person other than a juror?” Gordon asked. “Yes, a man named Burr.” Indianapolis Automobile Club Marlon Cos., Inc. 24-Hour Service Free to Members Dues $7.30 Per Year DKEXF.L 3770

One-Trick Squeeze Saves Bridge Radio Game for Expert Texas Woman Player

THE sixth Radio Bridge Game of the season was a popular feature of the broadcast from Station WFBM Tuesday night, under auspices of The Times. ' \ , J Milton C. Work and Wilbur Whitehead,' the New York experts who play in every one of the Radio Games, were seconded ably by two prominent players from Texas — Mrs. E. L. Bradbury, Dallas, and Joseph W. Evans, Houston. These were the hands: Evans, dealer, South: Spades, A, 7,6; Hearts, A, J, 8,5, 3; Diamonds, 9; Clubs, J, 6,3, 2. Whitehead, West: Spades, K, Q. 10, 5,4; Hearts, 9,7, 6; Diamonds, Q, 8; Clu£s, K, 10, 5. % Work, North: Spades, J. 9,8, 3; Hearts, Q, 2; Diamonds, 10, 7,6, 5, 2; Clubs, 9, 8. Mrs. Bradbury, East: Spades, 2; Hearts, K, 10, 4; Diamonds, A, K, J, 4,3; Clubs, A, Q. 7, 4. .Evans, the dealer, opened the bidding with one Heart, his only means of showing his two Aces to his partner. ' Whitehead, West, bid one Spade. Though he lacked the two quick tricks required for an original bid, he had high-card values sufficient for a following or defensive bid. Work passed, as he had no bid of his own or in support of his partner. Mrs. Bradbury, South, went to one No Trump. This bid operated as a denial of her partner’s suit, and indicated strength in at least two of the remaining suits, including a stopper or stoppers in the opponents’ Hearts. All passed and Mrs. Bradbury became Declarer with her contract one No Trump. * n EVANS South, for his opening play led the 5 of Hearts, the conventional lead of the fourth best card of his longest suit. Dummy was spread, and Mrs. Bradbury played from it the 6 of Hearts. Mr. Work, North, played the Queen, and Mrs. Bradbury the King. - In planning the further play of her hand, Mrs. Bradbury saw that she had eight sure tricks—the Heart already won, four sure tricks in Diamonds, and three/'in Clubs. She needed one more trick for game. She could take it in Diamonds, if the adverse Diamonds were normally distributed: or in Clubs if the adverse Clubs were evenly split. She could, of course, have established a Spade trick by leading that suit, but such lead was out of the question with the Ace of Spades outstanding, and the Heart suit of the adversaries fully established. As an incident of her analysis, Mrs. Bradbury marked the Ace of Spades as surely being in Evnns’, South's, hand, since otherwise his original Heart bid to no better than the Ace-Jack would have been without justification. Having four sure tricks in Diamonds and only three in Clubs, Mrs. Bradbury first tried out the Diamond situation. She led the 3 of Diamonds; Evans played the 9; Dummy the Queen; Work the 2. Dummy returned the 8 of Diamonds; Work played the 5; Mrs. Bradbury, since she had no partner to deceive, false-carded the, Ace; Evans discarded the 7 of Sades. u * n EVANS’ discard was well made. He knew that if his partner held another Heart the suit was established in his own hand and he could take four tricks in it if he got the lead in time. He therefore did not want to discard a Heart, especially as he held an entry in the Ace of Spades. Evans also realized that Mrs. Bradbury, the Declarer, must have had strength ifi Clubs as well as in Diamonds to justify her No Trump bid. For this reason Evans did not want to unguard his Jack of Clubs. There remained only the Spade suit from which to discard. As between the 8 and 7, Evans chose the 7, anticipating the necessity of further discarding. Had he discarded the 6 first, followed by the 7, his partner would have read him with weak Spades, and later on, if compelled to lead a Spade or Club, would have selected a Club. Mrs. Bradbury, seeing that Work held all the Diamonds against her, decided to shift to the Club suit. However, before doing so, she decided to lead one more Diamond, still retaining control of that suit, but forcing one more discard from Evans, which might serve to enlighten her as to the Club situation: Accordingly, Mrs. Bradbury led

the King of Diamonds. Evans discarded the 6 of Spades, completing his signal. Dummy discarded the 4 of Spades. Work played the 6 of Diamonds. Mrs. Bradbury then led the 4 of Clubs; Evans played the 2; Dummy the King; Work the 8. Declarer did not dare finesse Dummy’s 10 with the Heart suit established against her. # M * DUMMY returned the 5 of Clubs; Work played the 9; Declarer the Ace; Evans the 3. Work’s plays of the 8 and 9 of Clubs told Mrs. Bradbury that he either held no more Clubs or else held the Jack alone. If the latter, Mrs. Bradbury saw she could drop it by leading the Queen, after which her remaining

Club would be good. On the other hand, if Work had no more Clubs, then Evans held the Jack protected by another Club, in which case Mrs. Bradbury’s lead of the Queen would establish the Jack in the hand she most feared. V On account of Evans’ avoidance of a Club discard, Mrs. Bradbury was inclined to think he held the protected Jack. However, she was not positive. Therefore she held back her Clubs and led her good Jack of Diamonds in the hope of forcing a telling discard from Evans. Evans was forced to discard the 3 of Hearts, in order to keep his Jack of Clubs protected; Dummy discarded the 5 of Spades; Work followed suit with the 7 of Diamonds. Evans’ Heart discard gave Mrs.

Bradbury a clear picture of his hand. She could see that Mr. Evans had held five Hearts originally, as indicated by his original lead of the 5 and confirmed by his discard of the 3. He was marked early in the play with the Ace of Spades, and at this time it must be alone, or he would have discarded another Spade rather than give up a good Heart. Therefore he had held three Spades originally. He had had a Singleton Diamond; consequently he must have held four Clubs in the beginning, and stillhad two, which must be the Jack and 6. / * M * HAVING figured out Evans’ cards, Mrs. Bradbury led the 2 of Spades, to throw him in the lead. She was willing to concede him the Ace of Spades and his three gosd Hearts, confident that he must then lead Clubs up to her tenace, giving her two more tricks and game. On Mrs. Bradbury’s lead of the 2 of Spades, Evans played the Ace; Dummy the 10; and Work the 3.

Certainly no car can £ive more in good looks, comfort, performance and utility than does-the “78” at its moderate mice.

Evans then led the Ace of Hearts; Dummy palyed the 7; Work the 2; Declarer the 4. Evans continued with the Jack of Hearts; Dummy played the 9; Work the 8 of Spades; and Declarer the 10 of Hearts. Evans led the 8 of Hearts; Dummy discarded the Queen of Spades; Work the 9 of Spades; Declarer the 4 of Diamonds. Evans then was forced to play just as Declarer had planned. He led the Jgck of Clubs to prevent Dummy’s io from winning; Dummy played the 10. Work discarded the 10 of Diamonds; Mrs. Bradbury won with the Queen of Clubs. Her 7 of Clubs was good for the final trick, giving hqr game, with 30 points in the trick Honors were easy, therefore scored by neither side. From the beginning of the hand Mrs. Biadbury showed hers.elf to be a superior player; most particularly so in engineering the one-trick squeeze which saved her game. 250,000 readers a night will receive ycur want ad in the Times.
