FRIEND OF HARTJE
ON THE GRILL.
Tells How He Obtained
Affidavit From the Ne
gro Coachman Hooe
CULPRIT Is PAID

PITTSBURG, July 19.-Following
sensational attack upon the character
of Augustus Hartje, in which it was
alleged that he had taken two different
women frequently to a questionable
resort, the real sensation of the day
in the Hartje divorce trial came this
afternoon, when Judge Robert S.
Fraser admitted, under bitter protest
of opposing counsel, testimony relating
to the charges of conspiracy against
John L. Welshons. prominent mer-
chant, Augustus Hartje, the libelant,
and Clifford Hooe, the negro coachman,
now in Jail on perjury charges for al
legged false swearing in the case.
Welshons, who was called by Mrs.
Hartje's counsel, told a clear story of
how the deposition alleging Mrs.
Hartje's infidelity was procured from
Hooe. The negro afterward left the
city. and the witness told of having
at different times. This looked like
blackmail. the witness said He might
have told Hooe that he would be sent
to the penitentiary for perjury if he
did not adhere to the original story he
had told.
Welshons' statement, it is said,
agrees in every particular with the
confession of Hooe which is in the
possession of the District Attorney.
This was the first attempt during the
trial to present evidence of the alleged
conspiracy which Mrs. Hartje's counsel
declared was formed to defame her.
Welshons is a close friend of Augustus
Hartje and is accused with Hartje and
Hooe of having attempted to ruin the
good name of the millionaire's wife
Hooe months ago made a deposition
in which he said he had been intimate
with Mrs. Hartje. He afterward repu-
dated it. and is now in jail on a charge
of perjury.
Welshons maintained steadily that
Augustus Hartje knew nothing of the
fact that he had given Hooe money,
and admitted that Hartje's attorneys
had told Hooe that II he were not tell
ing the truth they would prosecute
him.
Attorney J. Scott Ferguson. for
Hartje, said he had a letter showing
that the defense had taken the depo
sition of a witness knowing that his
testimony was false, and that he also
would show that an attempt had been
made to tamper with witnesses.
Mrs. Hartje's counsel opened a new
line in the defense by presenting evil
dence to show that Hartje had visited
a disorderly house and had met an
immoral woman there. A servant from
the house is to so testify and the
coachman is to correborate the testi-
mony.
More testimony on handwriting was
taken during the day.

SOCORRO' PEOPLE
SLEEP IN OPEN.
Fear to Occupy Their
Houses During Prev
alence of Earthquakes

SANTA FE, n. NJ. July 1s.-Several
slight temblors occurred at Socorro last
night. No serious damage was done.
The panic among the Inhabitants is
subsiding, as it is believed the worst
or the earthquakes has passed.
Most OF the people of Socorro are
still camping in the open. The action
of Mayor Bursum. who, at his own ex-
pense, is doubling the capacity of the
city's water supply to meet any fire
emergency, is restoring confidence. He
keeps the men at work, even during the
frequent earthquake shocks.
Many of the refugees at Santa Fe
and Albuquerque have signified their
intention of returning to Socorro next
week if there shall have been no more
violent manifestations by that time.
A careful search of the lava fields to
the southeast of the city has failed to
reveal any new hot springs or evidences
of volcanic action reported yesterday.
The entire property damage at Socorro
will not exceed $4,000. as only the old
adobe houses have suffered In sur
rounding towns, also, the property
damage is light, owing to the cheap
character of the buildings affected and
the absence of costly structures.
The natives, who were praying in
the streets, have become quiet.
The shocks undoubtedly are caused
by the slides of mountain masses In the
Magdalena and Socorro ranges, owing
to recent heavy rains.
SANTA FE, n. NJ, July 19.-The
Santa Fe train from the West arrived
here two hours late, having been de-
layed by powders on the tracks. The
train brought a number of refugees
from the Socorro section. Passengers
report that rumbling noises are heard
underneath old lava beds near Socorro.
The natives are in state OF terror,
fearing that extinct volcanoes will
hurst into activity.
