dCy anu FNl JA' J AN~o ~ W. ,
New York. Dec 20.-The case Of
Abraham II Hummel. the lawyer,
charged with conspiracy and subor-
nation Of perjury In connection with
the Dodge.Morse divorce proceedings.
has been given to the jury. Hummel,
who has been on trial for nearly a
week. elected to have his case go to
the jury without offering a defense,
his attorneys arguing that no case had
been made out by the prosecution.
The defandant's attorneys dwelt
upon the fact that Charles F. Dodge,
one of the states witnesses and one
Of the principals in the divorce tan
gle was a self-admitted perjurer and
could not be believed in any of his
statements. It was asserted that he
had become a states witness to save
himself from prison. A point was
made Of the fact that Mrs. Morse. who
was Mrs. Dodge. was not introduced as
a witness. Mr. Nicoll declaring that
she knew she had no right to marry
Morse
Mr. Rand. replying to these asser-
tons. said he took full responsibility
for not calling Mrs Morse to testify,
saying she knew absolutely nothing
about the service Of the divorce pa
pers on her former husband and
therefore waa not a material witness
Mr. Rand said Dodge had not become
a perjurer until the agents of Hum
mel had been to see him several times
and It dawned on him that a game
was on foot by which he might profit.
