Taggart Divorce Case.

WOOSTER. Ohio. September u.-As large
an audience as has been present any time
during the Taggart trial gathered. in the
court house to hear Representative
Smyser's address on behalf Of Mrs. Tag
CART.
Mrs. Taggart was in court early. She lis
tened to every word from her attorney.
Major Taggart was not in court during
the early part of the morning. and was
represented only by Attorney Sterling.
Smyser. after reading the correspondence
that passed between the Major and Mrs.
Taggart after their separation. said this
correspondence showed that jealousy on
the part Of Taggart was the only cause OF
the trouble. Smyser scathingiy denounced
all who had made the charges against his
client. "If these charges are not true" he
said. "Taggart ought to be called to &C
count before the military tribunals. Let
him who is without sin cast the first
stone.'" quoted Smyser. shaking his finger
toward the chair Taggart has occupied dur
ing the trial.
