Gamblers Said To Have Fixed Series Missing Recent Investigation by Cook County Grand Jury Made 1 "Too Warm" for New York "Sports'." 5 Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire, New York, Oct. 21. The coterie of local gamblers that have infested base, ball and racing, and who are credited as being the ones who "fixed" the 1919 world's series be tween , the White Sox and Cincin nati, have fled the jurisdiction of New York, and of Illinois. . No more do they hang about the race tracks, where they passed money to susceptible jockeys to "pull" their mounts, or about Times Square hotels, where i they were wont to dine evenings and plan their carnpaigns to fleece those likely to wacer money on the outcome of athlettt and Sporting events. In, the underworld there is what is known as "The grapevine." It is a wireless maintained by those who violate the laws to notify them if they are being watched or liable to be arrested. In this particular case this means of communication must have sent word to the ones who ran the new... famous gambling syn dicate that things were getting warm in New York and Chicago, and that the grand , jury was likely to hand down papers that mean that one must go before a judge in the higher criminal courts to answer serious charges. - Arnold RothsHein, the king of gamblers, sent o'ut word that he was "retiring" as a gambler. Later one of the most expensive lawyers in the country announced Arnold Rothstein had retained him as coun sel atjd gave out a statement that Rothstein had gone away for a "va cation." Up to this time, Rothstein, with his partners and henchmen, had a meeting place in the delicatessen store oji Broadway, near Seventy second stree early every morning. This was abandoned, however,, and Nat Evans. "Curly" Bennett j and others of the Rothstein clique with Abe Attell, who threatened to "equal" when the base ballr'scandal first became public, disappeared.

Renewed interest was taken in the Jacob C. Denton murder mystery today when it became known that Mrs. R. C. Peete, known a the "enigma wom an" in the case, had appeared at the district attorney's office late yester day afternoon and entered into a conference behind locked doors with Deputy District Attorneys Doran and Turney, t Mrs. Peete's appearance was un expected and it was reported that she was prepared to make a com pletely new statement of what hap pened at the Denton home. The district attorney's office however, refused to divulge anything of what occurred during the conference. Mrs. Peete was accompanied by her husband, their 4-year-old daugh ter, Betty, and .Mrs. Halbland, in vestigator forithe district attorney who has , been her constant com- panion. ' v Denton Buried Alive. Denton, now alleged" to have been fatally shot white in the kitchen of bis home by a murderer who acted without accomplices, r was buried alive in the basement crypt where his body was found. under a pile of earth, according to a disclosure made shortly before Mrs. Peete ap peared at the district attorney's pf fice. The reconstruction of the crime and the disposal of the body on new and established evidence shows that Denton, mortally ' wounded, was dragged to the basement room, wrapped in quilts and oilcloth, tied with ropes and placed in the crypt, while he was unconscious but breathing. . ' " It was learned also that in addi tion to the large blood stain found under the linoleum in the kitchen other stains wereiound on the stair way leading fronrthe kitchen to the basement. . Bullet Holes Found. Bullet holes found in the shirt and undershirt taken from the body show that the bullet pierced the body a fraction of an inch above the waist ,line on the right side.

An indictment charging a woman now under surveillance, with murder in the first degree in connection with Denton's murder will be returned by. thevcounty grand jury soon after it resumes investigation next Friday, it was reported today. It was under stood that the only cause for the postponement of the arrest of this woman is the absence from the city of District Attorney Woolwine. A reputed "confession" of Den ton's murder by J. B: Claudius, ex convict and fugitive from justice, was discredited today by Mrs. L. A. Keller, to whom, it was reported, that confession had been made.
