HARTJE PLAYS
HIS TRUMP CARD
Detectives Go Upon the Stand
and Testify to Robbing
C0achman'S Trunk.
MORE ARRESTS ARE LIKELY
CROWD THREATENS TO MOB DE-
TECTIVES.

Pittsburg, July 30.-Beginning with the
sixth week and what is expected to be
the final week of the Hartje divorce
trial. today was taken up with the long
expected evidence as to the manner in
which Augustus HartJe procured the love
letters alleged to have been written by
Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje to Tom Nadine,
the coachman correspondent in the case.
John b. Staubb. a private detective,
swere that he opened Madness trunk at
the house in which Nadine roomed on
two occasions. The first time was May
81 and the second time June 49, On the
second occasion he said, John A. Ander-
son, another detective, was with him.
Staubb is the man who has been known
as Craig He declared that after the
letters had been shown to Andrew Fisher
Hartje's brother-in-law. they were mail
ed by Staubb to Attorney Scott Fergu-
son, chief counsel for Hartje-
Thief ross-ExamIned.
Staubb was subjected to a vigorous
methods which he and his brother detec-
tive used caused much amusement.
Staubb was unable to tell what other
articles were in the trunk, and several
times became tangled under the cross
examination. Anderson corroborated
Staubb in regard to the second loOting of
the trunk. The SUPERINTENDENT of the de-
tective agency also testified as to the di-
letters from them. Objection was made
by Mrs. Hartje's attorneys to the intro
ducton of the testimony, but Judge Rob-
ert S. Frazer admitted it. declaring, how
ever. that the other side would be al
lowed the fullest latitude in seeking to re-
but the evidence.
Bribed by Brother-in-LaW.
Andrew Fisher. brother-in-law of Au-
gustus Hartje, was the last witness Of the
day. file assumed responsibility for hr-
ing the detectives, and said the attorneys
for his brother did not know where the
letters came from until he told them.
Incidental to the story of the robbery
of the trunk it developed that a letter
and telegram signed by John F. Scott.
father of Mrs. Hartje was found in the
trunk along with the forty honeyed mis-
sives which the wife of the millionaire
is charged with writing.
1t is alleged that paragraph in this
letter read:
ION the evidence of Mr.. Freeman, 1 am
sending you 500" Neither the telegram
nor letter was read in court.
During Staubbs testimony Mrs. Hartje
appeared uneasy and then angry, while
her husbands manner was apparently one
of cool indifference.
Nadine came into court while the wit
ness was still on the stand and, after
listening intently to the testimony for a
time hurriedly left
Angry Crowd Assembled.
When court adjourned a large crowd
assembled in front of the court house and
for time Grant street was almost i'm
pasSable. Threats were made of an as
sault on the detectives who testified to-
day and detail of city police was sent
to preserve order.
1t was rumored that some of the wit
nesSes in the case were to be arrested
before the close of the day. When Staubb
and Anderson left the court house they
were followed by several men, who were
believed to be detectives.

She sympathized with the beautiful
girl, however, and said SHIT believed
much of what has been said is a
Islander circulated by a man whose
identity is known to Mrs. Kernochan.
sI can see nothing in the appear
ance or manners of Miss Grigsby to
warrant the scandalous stories that
have been told about her" said Mrs.
Kernochan. "She is apparently a very
nice young person with charming
manners. But the story that I was in
innate with her or that we dined to-
gether is absolutely untrue. She was
on the same steamer with me, to be
sure but she kept to her own suite of
stateroOms all the way over. It was
not until we arrived at Liverpool that
I talked to her. The usual confusion
about arranging luggage occurred at
the pier, and in this way Miss Grigsby
and came to pass a few remarks to-
gether on the stupidity of the luggage
men. 1t was just such talk as any two
travellers might have.
after the incident on the pier I
saw her no more until in Paris I met
her by chance. Again we conversed
for a few minutes and that was all.
AS to my taking part in a strawberry
banquet or having invited her to New

MAY BE BREWSTER.
Former Washburn Orator Slated as
Kansas Day Club Star.

1t is likely that Arthur Brewster of
st. Joseph, Mo, will be the principal
orator at the banquet of the Kansas
Day club on January 20. Mr. Brews-
ter is postmaster of St. Joseph, and is
one of the leading Republicans of Mis-
souri,, being frequently mentioned as a
possible candidate for governor.
Brewster is an old Washburn stu
dent, graduating with the class of
1890. While in school he made a great
record in two directions: as an orator
and a baseball player. He twice rep
resented Washburn in the state ora
torical contest winning first and sec
ond places in the two trials. As the
Kansas representative in the inter
state, he won third palce, and it is
said would have won first if he had
been willing to do as the other speak
ers did, and wear a Prince Albert coat.
Brewster disliked such frippery, and
spoke in a frock coat Those who
heard the contest declared that as far
as his oratorical ability was concerned,
he had all the other speakers dis
tanced.
It was as a baseball player that
Brewster won most exalted honors.

or college teams. He had terrific

Brewster has not kept in training
as a pitcher, but he is still an orator
of rnatchless skill. If he is secured
by the Kansas Day club it will be a
strong feature for the programme.

Father Dead for Years.


A most amazing illustration Of the
system used at $50 Park avenue to keep
up appearance. Emile Grigsby's father
had been dead since her childhood. Yet
somebody who carried out the appear
ance of being her father inpersOnated
him and told the reporter at her house,
under all circumstances making for
credibility, these falsehoOds.
That Emile has known Hobson for
years.
That he, the supposed father. had
commanded a company in Roosevelt's
Rough Riders.
Moreover, he was old enough to have
passed for Emile Grigsby's father. Per
sons who knew Yerkes will not doubt
that he himself acted the mart of Capt

false to say that either Mrs. Kerno-
