Show ;; .;ciJLaii1t:ioffi2i NZT7 TOEK, Dec. 6. Lou ; Dillon was not dragged during the Memphis races in 1904. . This is the decision of tbe beard 'of review of the National Trotting association, which met in ex- eeutive session yesterday after a long trial. George W. Spear tried to show that F. E. fcmathers, owner of Lou Dillon, had asked the former to dope the game little horse so that the race would go to Major Delmar. . Spear stated that he had approached man named Saunders, and that the latter wanted $10,000 to do the, dirty work, which, according to the witness, Smathers said was too much. . John 8. Wise, one of the most famous fa-mous of Southern statesmen and friend of the mighty in this country, showed conclusively that Spear was an irresponsible irre-sponsible character, and that he could not be believed. . . ; . |
