law breaking I asked Mr Brisbane over tlie telephone to furnish my otlice with the information lie had obtained through ids detectives so that 1 could begin action at once But he refused saying that the evidence would be reserved for publication in the New York Ameri can As Air Brisbane and the Hearst newspapers charge that there is open gambling and bookmak ing at the track I intend to allord an opportunity for them to furnish legal proof in open court courtIt It is my desire to prosecute the persons al ¬ leged to be bookmakers by Mr Brisbane and the Hearst newspapers and 1 will use all the evidence that may be in Ilieir pcsfcssion From personal observations however I have not seen open vio ¬ lations of tlie law and am deeply interested in whatever evidence private detectives may have dis ¬ covered at the track trackW W C Fessendcn better known on the turf as Wally is among those named as having accepted wagers from the Burns detectives Fessenden once owned a horse which won at Jamaica several years ago at odds of 100 to 1 He never has been recog ¬ nized as a bookmaker He was at T line MasS this week and one of his friends at Belmont Park had received a telegram asking for
