ACCUSES HUMMEL

Not Likely to Be a
tss;f Witness.
New York Herald Special Service.

New York, Dec. l6.-Charles w.
Morse, banker and former ice king,
went on the stand today in the trial of
Abe Hummel and told what he knew of
the alleged conspiracy to separate him
from his wife, who was divorced from
Charles F. Dodge. He corroborated,
Prosecutor Rand 8 statement that Hum
mel had repeatedly referred to Charles
F. Dodge as his (Hummel 50 client and
that he had also distinctly told Mr..
Hummel, when the accused lawyer first
called on him, that he would not give up.
any money to have the matter of thel
| divorce proceedings hushed up.
Another statement brought out was
that Mrs. Dodge Morse is at present out
of the jurisdiction of the court and will
therefore not likely appear as witnessI
| in the present trial. Mr.. Morse de-
scribed conversation he had with Mr..
| Hummel and William A. Sweetser, at
torney for Mrs. Dodge. Mr.. SweetserI
insisted that her divorce was regular,
while Hummel said it was irregular.
Morse's Marriage.
| Mr.. Morse went on to say that he had
known the present Mrs. Morse for
three years prior to his marriage to her,
in June, 1901, and further said that he
had heard no objections raised by any
of his relatives against his proposed
marriage.
With some show of feeling Mr.. Morse
declared that he was still married to
the former Mrs. Dodge. AS he said this
he leaned forward in his seat and
showed the first sign of the excitement
under which he had evidently been Ia
boring from the moment he had heard
his name called as a witness.
Charles X. Herbitch told of the occa.
sion when he had impersonated Dodge
innoeently, he said, before Judge Hall.
"Hummel," he said, "told me he
had a little matter on foot in which I
could be of service to him. He said
that there was hearing to be held
. and that if I went mistake might be
made which might help him out consid
erably. All I had to, do, he told me
was to sit still and look wise. I was
only too glad to assist Mr.. Hummel
Afterward he handed me $25."

gresham, Holiday has written to
Terre Haute for evidence to submit to
the president in the effort to have per-
mission granted for the return Of Pong
Bow to the United States from the
Canada side of Niagara Falls. Pong
stepped over the line months ago when
on Niagara Falls excursion from his
home in Terre Haute, and the immi-
grafton officers. perslstently refused
him re-entrance because he did not
have certificate from them when he
went over the line. ':E.%.
He did have a pocketful Of letters
from Terre Haute municipal officials,
from the pastor and members OF the
First Baptist church and from prom
inent citizens of Terre Haute, telling
| what good Chinaman and Christian
| he had been for sixteen years in this
| city. These testimonials did not ap-
peal to the authorities. -. lss..2
In October, Pong got to Buffalo, but

! The Jail. physician became interested
= in his case and wrote to Terre Haute
/ Letters and atfidavits were sent to him
but to no avail. The United States
commissioner ordered him returned tx
Canada, and the inspector at Buffalo
writes that Canada waived the $500
head tax because Pong had beer
brought from Canada into the United
States inadvertently by one of thu
! railroads.
Pong has written from London, Ont
