Tunney Laboring Under Cross Examination In Mara Suit
Gene Tunney faces further cross examination in Timothy Mara's suit for 506900 in fight earnings. Letters and telegrams reveal influence by politicians, including Alfred E. Smith and James Farley, to push a New York Dempsey fight. Tunney says Mara coerced him with 25 percent of earnings and threats to influence authorities.
