STICKS TO HER STORY.
Cross-Examination Did Not Shake
Miss Hogan.
Il Becomes More and More Clear
That She Was the One
Sinned Against.

FARGO, n. Oak. Nov 3O.-Some tele-
grams sent by Hirschfeld to Detective
Deveraux were sprung this morning.
Hirschfeld in his testimony denied that he
ever sent telegram regarding Anderson
and other witnesses. He said DeverauX
collected the evidence and he himself did
not know who the witnesses were or the
character of their evidence until they ap-
peared on the stand. Manager Haywood
of the Western Union was ordered to pro-
duce in court the kilograms. The first
read was regarding Bailey, the Palmer
House emplOye. DeverauX telegraphed
that Bailey would not testify for less
than $500.
Hirschfeld answered that the testimony
was not valuable enough to give fifty.
Another from D1veraux, supposed to re-
fer to Anderson. said: Refuses to come
for less than $500 and expenses" Hirsch-
field answered, Hold to agreement for
$500 and expenses" DeverauX answered:
Sent package by tO-day's train" There
were others of similar character. An at
tempt was made to have all the kilograms
10 and from Helena produced. This was
bitterly fought by the plaintiff and will be
decided this afternoon.
Mrs. Hirschfeld was called TO the stand
and subjected to rigid cross-examination,
going over practically the whole ground
traveTsed in her direct examination. She
answered all the questions practically as
before.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Duval, Mrs.
Hirschfeld's nurse, was called. She testi-
fed to hearing the conversation between
Mrs. Connors and the defendant. Mrs.
Connors had testified that Mrs. Hirsch-
field made threats against her husbands
life, and said that all she wanted was MS
money. She urged Mrs. Hirschield TO
give uD her husband. as the other Mrs.
Hirschfeld would never let him live with
her.
Mrs. Dell Hirschfeld Indignantly re-
fused. and Mrs. Connors said she was
very foolish. Mrs. Duval also testified
that Harry Freeman came to her and
asked her what salary Mrs. Hirschfeld
paid her. When she told him, Freeman
said that if she would let him into Mrs.
Hirschfeld's room that night at II O'Clock
he would see that she got three or four
times her months salary. When asked
who would give her this, Freeman told
her to go with him tn Mrs. l.. II. Rirsch-
field, and that they would assure her that
the amount would be Forthcoming. Mrs
Duval fatty refused. The defense theI

HERE'S A NICE HoW-Do-YOU-DO

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-The fight against
living pictures being waged by some ST
The Women's Christian Temperance Union
has developed into war between women,
and it is not at all unlikely that the living
pictures will organize and oppose the on
slaught of the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union. A spOn taneOus move was
made in this direction when the girls at
the Garden Theater met, ard the result
was that the folio wing letter was sent to
Mrs. Grannis:
Dear Madame: AS employees OF the stage,
employed rs models in The Kilanyi living pic
lures, we thank you warmly for your womanly
aud sensible opposition to the fanatical cru
SADIE against animate art, suggested by Lady
Somerset. IL Is undoubtedly rue. as you re-
mark, that there is no uDchaste living picture
exhibition In New York, Certainly none half so
shocking as those seen displayed in the boxes
OF the Me rOpolltan Opera-hOuse. Your posi-
tIon in this matter Is a credit alike 10 your

yours.

A number of the living pictures were In
terviewed in reference to the matter to-
day. Said Nellie Sinclair: 81 have no
desire to criticize the action OF the ladies
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. but 1 cannot refrain from remark
ing that their efforts to take the bread and
butter out of our mouth is not what would
be expected from women of their class

shat the human figure, motionless as it Is
displayed in the picture. is no more sug-
gestive than marble statue"
Alma Eggert and Ella Caab do not speak
English. They are Germans and have APP
peared with KiIanyi in Europe. Through
an interpreter they sad that in Europe nc
word of condemnation was uttered against
the living pictures in which they had ap-
peared. and they were surprised to learn
of the contemplated crusade. The pic

II don't care" said May Hamilton, "but

against US. If marble statuary were used
instead of human figures there would be
no criticism.
Yes" interposed Nettie Burdwin. "if
the realism was not produced there would
be no talk. Still we take many precau-
tions to guard against fndecency or any,
thing that smaeks Of H."
Josie Frost said: 1--WE are only models
in a picture, made to represent some his
toric event or to reproduce as accurately
as possible the great paintings of some OF
the great masters"

be apparent that the tendency to keep

engender suspicion either that the mem

hard for the public to understand that
the committee may be only acting from

Public sentiment is apt to be unreason-

often wrong than right about any mat

that the subsidy committee is not ex-
