BITTER LEGAL BATTLE TO
THROW OUT NEGRO'S SCONFESSION


Plttsburg, Pa, July 20.-Charges OF
crooked methods made by both slues
were the feature of the Hartje di-
vorce case during its hearing today:
What are apparently a series of legal
victories for Mrs. Hartje, the respond
ent in the suit, also marked the day S
session and eliminated in the adj
mission of the confessions of Clifford
Hooe. the colored coachman, in which
he Is said to have declared that he
lied when he swore that he had i'm
proper relations with the respondent.
This most important point was not
gained until after a bitterly contested
struggle between oposing counsel,
which lasted for over an hour and Il
half and during which Attorney Fer
guson made many sensational threats.
with the Offering of this confession
and of several documents today the
case for the respondent was practically
closed, although Attorney John Free
man. of Mrs. Hartie's counsel, told the
court that he might have some new
matter to present later. An ADJOURN
ment was then taken until Monday.
Detective Ray, of the Perkins agen-
cy. and Superintendent G. P. Perkins,
told of the arrest of Hooe in Ohio and
where he made his confession. Attor-
ney John Marion, of Mr.. Augustus
Hartie's counsel, put both Ray and
Perkins through a rigid cross-exam-
nation. in which he tried to show that
Uooe was made drunk and coerced by
the detectives into making his con-
fession. Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, the
respondent, testified that she was
present when the first deposition of
the negro coachman was taken and
that what he said there was "outra-
geously false"
There was a hard battle of argu-
ment when counsel for Augustus Hart
ie tried to get stricken from the case
the evidence concerning Hooe, given
by John L. Welshons, Hartje's close
friend and the witness who followed
him.
Attorney J. Scott Ferguson led the
argument for Hatrje and bitterly ar
raigned Mrs. Hartje. Attorney John
NJ Freeman, chief of counsel for Mrs
Hartje, replied sharply and was rein
forced with typewriter and carefully
prepared papers to establish his con-
tention that the evidence was proper
Judge Robert S. Frazer gave the
counsel for Hartje no encouragement
and finally ordered that the evidence
he considered and made n part OF
the case. The opposing counsel had
difficulty in agreeing upon a state
ment of facts to be considered upon
which the conclusions of law were
based.
At the close of the day Judge Fra.
ser said that the four statements
made by the negro coachman would
not be read in open court. The judgf
said II would not be well to have their
made public at this time and corrected
an intimation that he was acting sole
ly in the interests Of public morals
Hooe made four statements, thu
first accusing Mrs. Hartje, and thu
other three, made later, declaring thu
first to be false.
With the unexpected throwing oper
of all doors in the celebrated case
sensations even bigger than thos,
heretofore promised are expected.
Adjournment was taken until Mon
day morning. Mrs Hartjes side wa
given the privilege of examining tn,
forty love letters until Monday.

IN FORTY.FIvE YEARS

Alderman ]. N. Wright met very un-
expectedly in the Masonic lodge room
last Friday night one of his boyhood
associates whom he had not seen
since the outbreak of the civil war in
1861. Mr.. Wright happened to over
hear strange gentleman in the ante
room make some reference to Leroy.
New York. and, as that was his own
birthplace, he made some inquiry with
view of ascertaining whether they
had mutual acquaintance. After a
short conversation it was discovered
that they were boyhood friends, had
attended the same school and had rob-
bed birds nests and raided the neigh
bors orchards together.
The renewal of acquaintance was a
delightful incident to both of them, and
they had many "reminiscences to ex-
change in relation to the old days in
the Wyoming valley of New York, of
which they are natives. John Bissell,
for that is the name of Mr. Wright's
friend, is a resident of Los Angeles,

a good many years. Mr.. Bissell, who
is accompanied by his wife, is spend
