Next move for the prosecution was to call bald, bespectacled Fred Ries, who testified he handled the finances of four Cicero gambling houses, gave the checks to wizened little Bobby Barton, chauffeur for Jack Gusick, Capone's "financial secretary." Barton, known as "The Little Man," did not testify, but kept popping in & out of court to be identified.
