THEY PLAYED POKER.

Did you ever play cards with Will
kerson?" he was asked.
Yes, l played poker with him until
the early hours of the morning"
For heavy stakes?'
mo, l never did"
w. H. Clifford, playwright. author,
librettist and other things, testified he
roomed at the Adams House with Will
kersoa and knew of his conduct. He
never saw Miss Rosedale in Wllkerson's
apartments.
Ovita Leathe, who is nCw Mrs.
Hawes, sat with Flossie Hope during
the play and smiled and wept as the
drama was unfolded. Sne is the young
woman who gave testimony that partly
proved that Wilkerson had been guilty
OF suspicious acts, and when witnesses
were put on the stand in the afternoon
to prove her good character Attorney
Newbergh insinuated that her character
was bad. Mrs Hawes burst into tears
and tried to break in on the play. Mrs.
Barney Bernard led her from the play
house in order that the performance
might not be interrupted.
The muchly abused heroine said she
earned $3.50 a week al Fiscber's. The
heavy villain afterward cut in and said
he had given his wife thousands of dol
lars and it was not stage money. When
the friends of the muchly abused wife
had the stage Wilkerson multered un-
der his breath and bit his nails in real
melodramatic style. The performance
was not over at 4:90 D. m. SO it was
continued until this morning. The au-
dience crowded the stage door and
waited until the actors in the drama
came out The "Johnnies" Ugled the
chorus girls and others stared at the
leading man and women.

Woman's devotion to man was illus
trated forcibly in Judge Mogans court
yesterday Some weeks ago Philip Kel-
ly, living at 1918 Hampshire street, at
tackled his wife with a butcher knife,
cut her severely in the hand ana
stabbed her in the left breast. Fright
ened at his deed, he sought medical as
sistance unsuccessfully, and finally
came to the police station and said that
he had stabbed his wife and feared she
was going to die. She was sent to the
Receiving Hospital and the husband
was locked up on the charge of at
tempted murder. When the case came
up for preliminary hearing the first
time the Judge asked the wife If she
was in earnest in her intention to pros
ecute her husband. Smarting from her
injuries, she proclaimed that she want
ed him punished. She appeared yester-
day with four months old baby in her
arms and calmly told the court that
she did not want TO testify against
Kelly. There was nothing to do except
dismiss the defendant, and the reunited
trio left the courtroom with the wom-
ans hand in the mans and her eyes
smiling up to him.

1.-THE LOST PAJANIAs.'


The play might have been entitled
The Lost Pajamas." Spicy lines en-
livened the production. Pretty chorus
girls without their make-ups held the
center of the stage and spoke their
lines, prompted at times by the inquir-
ing relative and the Hebrew comedian.
Harry James came out to lead the or
chestra, and a few master mechanics
were on hand to help out if needed.
Myrtle Rosedale held the stage for a
long time Her acting was superb. She
never forgot her lines and played her
part nicely. She is called the CORE
spondent, but she declines the title. The
audience held its breath as the witness
told of locked doors that separated her
from the heavy villain on northern
trips She denied that Wilkerson ever
played "Saoho" with her and carried
her from one room to another. She said
she knew there was a key in the door.
because she had examined the door.
But you wore pajamas?" asked

RED PAJAMAS
IN The CASE
Wilkerson Divorce Suit Now
Hinges on the Ownership
of the Bizarre Articles
LACRYMAL SCENE IN COURT
Mrs. 0vita Hawes Finds Solace
in Tears When Aspersions
Are Cast on Her Character

For the last week a pair of pajamas
have hovered over the Wilkerson di-
vorce case. One witness said they were
baby blue. another vowed they were
pink, the defendant swore they were
cream -colored and now the correspond
ent in the case comes forward and de-
clares they were red Judge Murasky
has taken judicial notice of the color.
and unless the said pajamas are
brought into court and marked 'Ex-
hibit A" more testimony must be intro
duced to prove who wore them.
Myrtle Rosedale. a chorus girl with
soulful black eyes, a retrousse nose and
charming lisp, denied that Ira Puerl
Wilkerson presented them to her. She
claims she bought them and wore them
at all times. Attorney William F. Hum
phrey, who represents Maud Amber
(Nrs. Wilkerson) in the divorce pro-
ceedings, tried hard yesterday to prove
the original ownership Of the pajamas,
but Miss Rosedale was too wary.
There was a select audience in Judge
Murasky's courtroom yesterday to see
the performance. The Wilkerson di-
vorce suit has the elements of trag-
edy and a farce. Puerl Wilkerson is the
heavy villain. and Maud Amber, the
statuesque song queen at Fischer's, is
the muchly abused heroine. When the
curtain went up yesterday morning the
critics occupied orchestra seats and en-
joyed the play hugely. Judge Murasky
fulfilled the position of stage manager
and allowed no waits. Attorney A. S.
Newbergh played the Hebrew come
dian, and Attorney Humphrey assumed
the role of the inquiring relative. There
was dim light in the courtroom and
the scenes were sometimes tragic,
sometimes pathetic and at all times

]. Tysma, a we'll groomed Hollander,
who says he is making a tour of the
world, has been doing a good deal of
touring in San Francisco during his
three weeks stay in this interesting
metropolis. A week after his arrival he
landed before Judge Cabaniss on the
charge of carrying concealed weapons
and was fined SO. Appended to the
charge was a tale of a golden career in
the opulent haunts of pleasure, of
which the court refused to take cogniz-
ance. A few days later Judge Cabaniss
wandered into Judge Conlan's court
and found the touring Hollander again
arraigned for packing around deadly
weapons. There were sidelights to this
story that did not get into the record.
Once again yesterday Herr Tysma
loomed uD fresh and smiling before
Judge Cabaniss. He had evidently got
the Police Court habit, which is more
seductive than morphine. This time he
had trouble with a hackman, which
was adjusted on an equitable basis by
the court. Judge Cabaniss told the tour
ist who is touring so much in narrow
circles that the best thing he could do
was to go back TO his native dykes and
the tender care of his mother. The
great world was no place for h exu-
berant temperament. Herr Tysma
promised 10 think it over.
Judge Cabaniss yesterday let go a
large collection of derelicts, always
possible criminals, who haunt the
wine joints" on the Barbary Coast,
mGch to the disgust of the arrestins
officers. But down at the very last OF
the line he found one squat chap Who
didn't look good to him. The police
man testified that he found him at g
o'clock in the morning trying TO dis
pose Of a watch and that he had a
blackjack in his pocket. His name is
Thomas MCGOWAN and the situation
was so pleasing to him that he smiled
gleefully throughout the hearing. He

Democrats opened the Ohio campaign

the Democrats of Champaign county

qua grounds, at which addresses were
made by John L. Zimmerman. Mayor
Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland. and ex-
Congressman John J. Lentz. B-yan
referred 10 ex-President ClevelaT re-
peatedly, and received a great ovation
when he said
The Democrats in 1892 played a
confidence game on the people and put
a bunco steerer al the head OF the
party | want TO say to you. my friends,
that the disreputable man who stands
on the street curbing and leads the
unwary traveller into a game where he
loses his money is respectable com
pared with the man who accepts the
SURFACES OF 5.O00.00O people aid then
leads them into Wall street to be be-
trayed.
Don't be deceived when they tell
you that 1t was the silver question that
drove people out OF the party.
Those who left the Democratic
party are divided into two classes,
those who left because they understood
the issue in the campaign and those
who left because they were deceived in
the issue OF the campaign. Those who
understood the issue and left because
they understood It can never return
to the party Until they repent and show
that their hearts and sympathies are
changed. The fight will continue in
