She was accompanied by man and

of ConspIracy-Admits Perjury.
New York, Dec. 27-District Attor
ney Jerome and his assistants are
working hard to obtain corroborative
evidence in connection with the con
fesston of Charles F. Dodge, who was
brought here from Texas on a charge
of perjury which grew out Of the
Morse-Dodge divorce ENHANCEMENT.
This confession, according to current
report, involves a conspiracy on the
part of men we'll known here, to de.
feat the ends of Justice; but the dis
trict attorney is understood to take
the position that confederation of the
statements is a necessity before any
court or jury, because Dodge admits
that he committed perjury in the case.
Procuring Of this corroborative evi.
dence is one of the most difficult tasks
which had ever confronted the pros.
ecutor. 1t is said that in several in.
stances he has found himself face to
face with obstacles beyond which he
cannot go. On several sides he is
beset by the fact that communication
with his client What Dodge may
have told his attorney cannot be asked
Of the lawyer. Documentary evidence
of an discriminating nature is difficult
to obtain.
In spite of these difficulties Mr.. Je
rome Is confident that he will soon
have a complete case against at least
three men, and he is hopeful that his
Investigations will lead him not only
to the instruments of the alleged con.
spiracy, but to the men whose inter.
ests made it vitaliy necessary that
the conspiracy should be carried out
as the district attorney believed it
was planned.
