so far as the attorneys for the defense are
concerned, is satisfactory. Judge j. w. f.
White, before whom the case is being tried,
is apparently fair and impartial. He is
termed by the members of the local bar as
the "old woman" of the Allegheny county

rulings at times. Previous to assuming his
present duties in the courts at Pittsburg,
Judge White was a minister Of the gospel, a

the Commonwealth set aside nine for the

it admirably and at no time varied from his
story in the main on direct examination
He was on the stand until two o'clock
Mrs. Bogart, wife of the Superintendent
was the next witness. She testified that she
had made arrangements to meet her husband
at his office at Knoxville on the night the
assault is alleged to have been committed
This was the only question asked her and
there was no cIoss-examination.
School Director William Hunter, of Knox
vile, was called as the third witness by the
defense and made statement contradicting
Mr.. Yates
Mr.. Hunter said that Yates told him that
he (Vates) saw the story of Clara Yates in a
different light than he did at first and wanted
to drop the case.

Closed This Afternoon.
NO ARGUMENTS BY THE LAWYERS

Charge Of Assault with Intent to
Rape, Judge White Having Dis
missed the Charge Of Rape.
Special to EVENING HERALD.

Special to EVENING HERALD.
P1TTsBURa, Jan. z, 200 p. m.-The case of
the Commonwealth against Prof G. d.
Bogart was resumed here before Judge
White, at $50 o'clock this morning The
attendance at the opening of the court was
very large. Great interest is manifested in
the case by many people who gave it little or
no attention heretofore.
The prosecution is now depending wholly
on the charge of attempted rape and all
their forces are turned in that direction since
the ruling made by Judge White just before
the adjournment Of court last night.
Immediately after the opening OF court
this morning the Commonwealth recalled
Mr.. Yates, father Of Clara Yates to the
stand and the statements brought out were
substantially the same as those made in the
afidavits of Mr.. Yates, which were published
in Shenandoah several weeks ago. He also
stated that he never made charge against
Prof. Bogart, and also testified that Prof
Begart resigned his position as principal Of
the public schools of Knoxville, Pa, upon
the request of the Board.
Clara Yates was next recalled to the wit
ness stand and testified that sho related her
story in the presence of James Smith, Of
Shenandoah.
School Director Bailey, of Knoxville, was
next called to the stand by the Common
wealth and made poor impression.
The Commonwealth closed its case at II
o'clock this morning.
The counsel for the defense shortly after
proceeded to open its case and School
Director Ewing was called to the witness
stand
Director Ewing swore that Mr.. Yates, the
father Of Clara Yates wanted to withdraw
the charge he made before the School Board
of Knoxville, Pa, and was not allowed to
do so.
/ The defense will offer to show that Super
intendent Bogart committed no assault and
attempted none, and that the School Board
at Knoxville accepted his resignation after it
had been suggested and rendered by Prof
/ Bogart. 1t will also offer to show that in
sanity runs through the Yates family and
that the remaining charge in this case, as
we'll as the one which has been disposed OF
by the court were the results Of bad dreams
Prof. Bogart's lawyers are confident Of
acquittal.
Prof. G. D. Bogart was called to the stand
in his own behalf. His bearing was digniied
yet courteous, and by address and appear
ance he made good appearance before the
judge and jury. He told very plausible
and straightforward story.
The witness was under direct examination
when the court ordered recess at noon.
