Libel Action Directed Against District
Attorneys, Newspaper Men
and Some others.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 8.--His civil
suit against the Wisconsin Rendering
Co, to recover on notes which he pur-
chased of the First National Bank hav-
ing failed in it's purpose, his suit for
libel against the Free Press having
failed in the effect which Mr.. Pfster
hoped it would have on the public
mind, and himself in q state of mind
as result of these failures, Charles F..
Pfister today brought $500,000 dam
age suit against District Attorney F.
, Il. McGovern and his assistants and the
directors of the Milwaukee Free Press
Co., charging conspiracy to injure Mr..
.Pfster's reputation, to destroy his hap
piness and to ruin his credit

upon the fact that Mr.. Pfister was in.

ern, Special Assistant District Attorney

Press Co.; Harry P, Myrick, editor OF
the Free Press; Horace A. j. Upham
and ]. H, Tweedy, stockholders in the
Free Press Co., and j. X. Ilsley, chair
man of the citizens committee of ten.
Briefly stated, Mr.. Pfister's complaint
is that the defendants are of different
political belief than himself, and that
therefore they have conspired to injure
him socially and financially. He al
leges that the district attorney and his
assistants did conspire with the direc-
tors of the Free Press Co. to procure,

Mr.. Pfister's attorney went out of the
routine of legal verbiage to write into
the complaint slur upon Mr.. Ilsley as
''reformer," and charged that Mr.. IL
sley was opposed to Mr. Pfster because
the political methods employed by Mr..
Pfister were not In accord with said
defendants Qlsley's) system of eth

Mr.. Pfster appears to have been es-
pecially annoyed by the activity of the
citizens committee Of ten. After cit
ing that Mr.. Ilsley was member OF
"a voluntary committee of citizens of
Milwaukee, whose avowed purpose is to
exterminate graft and municipal inn
morality" Mr.. Pfister complains that
the committee of ten had employed de-
tectives and other employees for the
purpose of conspiring with the Free
Press to the end that Mr.. Pfster might
be injured in his standing before the
. community and that his credit be
ruined.

ARGUMENTS BEGIN
IN TAGGART CASE
EACH SIDE HAS BEEN ALLOWED
FOUR HOURS.
Warm Alteration Between Attorneys
Sterling and smyser-canton
Lawyer Speaks Monday.

Wooster, O., Sept. S.-After the morn
ing session, which was occupied with
some rebuttal testimony in the Tag
gart divorce case the argument of the
attorneys for both sides which will
close the celebrated battle began. The
struggle is telling upon all the persons
connected with the case, and even
Judge Eason, who has tried many long
and protracted cases, is glad that the
end is now in sight.
Each side has been allowed four
hours for the arguments, and Attorney
E. S. Wertz, for Major 1aggart, occu-
pied the greaetr part of the afternoon.
Wertz made no effort at oratory, but
In terse, conversational tone wove
his argument for his client. He first
took up the charge of intimacy between
Major Taggart and Augustine De La
Cruz, the Filipino servant. He went
for BLACK Emma" Mrs. Taggart's SER
want who claims to be an eyewitness
to this matter, and said that Emma's
contradiction in court proved that she
is the worst liar that ever sat on the
witness stand in the Wayne county
court. He compared her testimony to
that of Major Newberry's to the same
action, and asked the court which he
regarded as most probable.
Wertz intimated that Mrs. Taggart
was unfit for the care of her children,
because she had no conception of the
value of money and for other reasons.
He referred to several expenditures
made by Mrs. Taggart In proof of this
assertion. He made scathing arraign-
ment of Gen Miner and his relations to
Mrs. Taggart, and said Mrs. Taggart.
by her own testimony admitted that
his relations were improper He took
UP the BILLY" Taggart part of the tes-
timony and said the testimony showed
completely that there had been in
eliminating relations between Mrs.
Taggart and BILLY" Taggart.
How did their washings get mixed
together" he asked. Billy had a
home and she had a nome. Why was
Billy seen to go there the last thing
at night and come away the first thing
in the morning? Why were they alone
in dark room? Why did they drink
whisky together? Why did he wear
her ring? why did she give him
clothes and provide him with money!
Wertz again referred to Billy's state
ment, I'VE will swear TO lies that will
make the devil blush" and to other
| things Billy is alleged to have said.
When court adjourned at noon there
was very warm alteration between
Attorneys Sterling and Smyser. Ster-
ling was "joshed' by Smyser over hav-
ing lost point and he threatened to
strike the congressman. Then Major
| Taggart admonished him, and the
promised melee vanished
/ F. F. Dow, the detective, was again
placed on the stand and asked about
his employe, X. j. Coach Of Cleveland.
Billy" Taggart was put on the stand
| to make some denials, and Mrs. Tag
! CART was asked few questions as to
her care of the children.
[ Attorney Smyser will make his speech
tomorrow morning for Mrs. Taggart.
! Attorney Sterling, who will go on
Monday is expected to reinforce
Wertz's speech. Sterling is a master OF
sarcasm, and his address will probably
be the most scathing of the trial.
