) THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1920. St. Louis American Ball Player and Rathsteinto Testify in Series Probe 1. ' . ' Chicago, Oct. 25. The special Cook county base ball jury will re convene tomorrow with two witnesses, who have not yet appeared be fore the jurors, scheduled to Rive testimony which officials in the state's attorney's office tonight , said "undoubtedly would throw considerable light on the scandal in the 1919 world s scries and might prove of a sen sational character." Joe Gedeon. second baseman of the St. Louis American league club, and Arnold Rothstcin of New York, are the men who are expected to testify. , . , , Gedeon arrived today from, his home in Sacramento in response to a call from Ban B. Johnson, president of the American league, to come and give the jury any uuormation he may have. He was immediately taken to the home of an astistant state's attor--r 'l TT . duck Hunting on Marshes Near City Nimrqds Out in Large Num. hers Seeking Elu sive Fowl. ncy and not allowed to see anyone. It was announced that the St. Louii- player would not be allowed to tes tify until he signed an immunity waiver and that he had agreed to do this. The state's attorney's' office an nounced that it had positive informa tion that Roth stein would reach here tomorrow and that he also would sign an immunity waiver before go ing before the jurrors. Ban Johnson also probably will tettify. . v i The names of Gedeon and1 Roth stein have been brought before the jury by several witnesses, state of ficials said, but it was not until last week that Gedeon's identity was publicly revealed. He had until then, been referred to in announcements made by the state's attorney's office, merely as "a St. Louis player." The jury has been told that Ged eon attended all the 1919 world ser ies games and was intimately as sociated with some of the Chicago White Sox nlayers, against whom true bills have been voted, according to state officiate. After last Tues day's , session of the jury President Johnson admitted to newspaper men that Gedeon's name had been brought before the jury and later ht went to St. Louis for what was then believed to be a conference with Phil Ball, owner of the St. Louis Browns, over basej ball reorganiza tion. On his return, however, John ion said he went to see Gedeon and, finding the player was in Sacramen to, telephoned him that he must come hereinimediately to testify.
