are to this question the proverbial two
sides-the mems side and the host
esses'. And must confess my leaning
toward the mems, who claim with
much show of truth that they often
accept invitations to affairs that bore
them inexpressibly, and they would
much prefer to stay home, visit the
club or do some congenial thing. But
they realize how fiat thing manless

sympathy and partly through coward

Now, does this poor devil owe yet

TAKEN FROM THE
 ROOM IN TEARS Mrs. Lorenz Breaks Down at
 Postal Trial STENOGRAPHER ON STAND Testified That It Was Physically I'm. possible for MT. Machen to Att
 tend to Everything h
 His Office.
STEN0GRAPHER ON STAND

Washington, January 2S.-The defense in the postal trial opened today. MT
 Maddox on behalf of the Groffs said he
 would prove that George E. Lorenz in
 1895 had purchased for $500 one-half in- terest in the Groff fastener.
 He was followed by MT. Kumler for
 the Lorenz's, who asserted that as far
 back as 1888, Machen George E. Lorenz
 and his brother engaged in the oil busi-
 ness in Ohio. and that as a result of their
 various transactions George E. Lorenz
 owed Machen s25,OOO and that whatever
 money Lorenz paid to Machen was In set-
 clement of an honest debt.
 Conrad syme, on behalf of Machen
 agreed with what MT. Maddox and Mir
 Kumler had said and added that he would prove there was no conspiracy Mrs. Lorenz Breaks Down. When Mir. Kumler in the course of his opening remarks said that Mrs. Lorenz
 had been scandalized by the government, which had treated her with cruelty Mrs.
 I1orenz broke down and wept bitterly. She was led from the room by Mrs.
 Machen and Mrs. Phillips, Mr. Machen's sister. She recovered her composure dur ing the recess and occupied her accus toned place in court.
 The only witness for the defense ex- | amined today was Miss Ina s. Liebhardt chief clerk of the rural free delivery division. She described Machen's various duties, which she said made it physically | impossible for him to personally attend to everything
 | She said that from July 1 she practical ly initialed all the mail with Machen's initials and prior to that date she placed his initials probably on one half of the
 mail. She said she herself determined the question of what questions she should not or should initial.
 She described the Groff fastener was never the subject of any conversation be- tween herself and Machen. In writing l Machens initials, she said there was no | secrecy about it. that First Assistant Postmaster Vim knew about it as well as his chief clerk, Hawley. A recess was
 taken at this point
 Time Taken With Interviews. Continuing her testimony when the
 trial was resumed. Miss Lebhardt said
 that a great deal of Machen's time was
 taken up in Interviewing congressman and postmasters regarding the extension of the rural free delivery
 Asked specifically about Croft fasteners Miss Liebhardt said that special orders
 were not brought to Machen's attention because the fastener was "a fixed sup- l ply" In cases involving a new article
 however she said she would sneak to
 the superintendent about it. It was
 brought out that the order given the
 Groffs for the fasteners at the reduced price of $.25 each. was dated July 15. 1899. and wae signed by Machen himself. The witness had not concluded when
 court adjourned until tomorrow.
