WRITTEN BY MlLLIoNAlRE'S
WIFE TO CoAcHMAN.
MANY READ IN COURT
But Woman Accused Of Writing Them
Hears Them Without a Blush
and Declares They Are All
Forqeres.

pittsburg, Pa, July 3,-The lettert
which Mrs. Hartje is charged Will
having written TO Tom Nadine. he
husbands coachman, were read in
court today.
These letters, reyeIing in debasinl
love and passion, in humiliating ad
vice to a lover in low moral tone form
one Of the bulwarks in the case in
which Augusctus Hartje, Pittsburg
millionaire paper manufacturer, is
trying TO get a divorce from his wife
Mrs Hartje listened to the read
ing of the letters without a blush, and
Immediately went on the witness
stand ana declared on her sacred oath
that she did not write them
The defense will undertake to prove
that the letters are forgeries. or that
if genuine they were written to Tom
Nadine by another woman whose
name, lil,e Mrs Hartje's is Mary.
Iarje's attorneys apparently are
worrying over this unexpected deyel
opmeat in the case. 1t is beginning
10 be believed too. that Mrs Hartje's
attorneys have sensational evidence
up their sleeves and that a coup may
be sprung at any moment which may
throw an altogether different light on
the scandal
The reading of the love letters
which Augustus Hartje asserts his
wife wrote 70 the coaehman was the
elimax of the trial. There We're
scores of the letters, and all of them
were juicy morsels to roll under the
tongue of the lovers Of scandal.
