Five Hundred Dollars Fine.
Sensational Trial For CoIiUsion in Dodge

Ends.


New York City The jury in the case
Of Abraham HAmmel, The noted law

nation Of perjury in the Dodge Morse
tangle.
Justice Rogers. in the Criminal
Branch OF thA Supreme Court. began
his charge to the jury at 1855 o'clock
in the morning and finished at 1885.
The Justices charge was taken as be-
ing decidedly favorable to the defense.
He said that the jury should believe
the testimony Of Dodge the accom-
plice and confessed perjurer, if there
was any testimony that tended TO cor
roborate it. He declared that there
was such testimony, and that it re-
manned for the jury to decide as to its
truthfulness.
The Justice also asserted that Cap
tain Jim Morse had no right to inter-
fere with the marriage Of his nephew,
which upon the face of the court rec
0rds appeared to be legal. Counsel for
the defense asked that this charge be
changed 50 as to admit the right Of the
children and blood relations to inter-
fere. They declared that Captain
Morse was acting for them. Justice
Rogers first refused and then accepted
the amendment, Assistant District At
t0rney Rand offering no objection

ground that Dodge had not been served
in the divorce suit Dodge has since
confessed that he was served and the
divorce and Mrs. Dodge's marriage to
Morse which had been annuIfetl have
been reinstated.
Hummel was employed by Captain
Jim Morse, as uncle of G. w. Morse.
TO break the marriage The retainer
forsthe lawyer, $4,000, and the fight
to keep Dodge from being brought
back here on an indictment for perjury
cost Captain Jim more than $75, 1000.
The case is, in many respects, a re-
markable one. Aside from the spec
tacular fight in Texas to bring Dodge
back here District Attorney Jerome
caused additional interest in the trial
by asking that the jury be locked up.
