CASE CALLED.
Noted Divorce Lawyer Charged With
Conspiracy in. DOdge-Morse Suit.

New York, Dec. -13-The trial of Abra-
ham H. Hummel, one of New York s
most widely known lawyers, on the
charge of conspiracy, was on the calen-
dar before Justice Rogers in the su-
preme court today. The charge against
Hummel grew out of the sensational
Dodge-Morse divorce litigation in which
it was alleged that Hummeu entered
into a conspiracy to procure perjured
evidence. Former Supreme Court Jus
tice Edgar L. FuTsman, also was indict-
ed on the charge of conspiracy in the
game case.

sire to obtain an annullTnent of the
Dodge divorce was said to be to thereby
invalidate the the marriage of Mrs
Dodge and Morse. Why it was sought
to invahdate this marriage has never
been definitely learned, but the most

came operative A. o. Ottinger applied
for q temporary restraining order,
which was granted. Complaint was
also made that it was class legislation
and in the interest Of the several rail-
way lines that run into the city of Sc.
attic. It was also contended that the
city has assumed state function, for
the reason that the legislature alone
had the right to pass laws governing
the sale Of transportation. To this
complaint the city demurred on the
usual grounds, and at the same time
filed a motion to dismiss the temporary
restraining order.
