HUMMEL FATE
SOON KNOWN.
Trial of Famous New York Law
yer Draws Near End Captain
Jim Paid $4,000.
NEw YORK.. nee. 1o.-At the tr!al {

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-At the trial E
Abe Hummel for conspiracy in
Dodge-Morse tangle here the prose,
tion has rested and the defense begun.
with the understanding that the testi-
mony of the defense would be in this
evening. The case will go to the jury
probably tomorrow.
Charles L. Dodge, the first husband
of Mrs. Morse, and Captain Jim Morse
the uncle Of c. w. Morse, who cause;
all the trouble by trying to dissolve the
marriage of his nephew, were the las
witnesses for the prosecution. Captain
Jim spent more than $1,000 of hi
good money in this effort.
After Captain Jim left the stand Mr..
Rand announced that his testimon.
was all in. and then the usual motion
for dismissal of the case were made b.
the defense. Justice Rogers denied
them.
Hummel told the reporters that he
wanted to go On the stand, but that hi
counsel had told him that Rand had no
made out a case and there was no neeG
of his testifying.
Mrs. Morse is over from New Jersey
and is within reach of the district at.
torney's office, but her testimony may
not be needed.
Step by step Mr.. Rand drew from
Dodge corroboration of almost every
thing the prosecutor had said to the
jury in his opening address. The wit
ness told of his marriage to Clemence
Cowles, of their separation, how he had
been served by William A. Sweetser in
her divorce suit and of reading in a
newspaper of her marriage to G. w.
Morse, the banker and former ice king.
Then just as glibly lie told of meeting
Hummel's emissary, Bracken, in Geor-
gia and of hearing for the first time in
Hummels office the suggestion that the
divorce was invalid.
Without a blush of shame he told Of
signing an affidavit that he had not
been served with the divorce summons,
of receiving $1,000 at that time and of
receiving $500 more when he swore
falsely to the same effect before Ref
cree Hall in the proceedings to set the
divorce aside.

"And what was the result?"
Before I had taken half Of the first
box my condition was greatly improved.
The quickness with which they reached
and relieved all my troubles was really
surprising. After had used only three
