PITTSBURG WOMEN
RESENT SLUR.
Attorney Says Many Are
Guilty of the Offenses
Charged to Mrs. Hartje

PITTSBCRG, July 22.-Pittsburg So
ciety and club women are extremely
indignant over the accusation made by
J. Scott Ferguson. counsel for Augustus
Hartje, in court on Friday afternoon TO
the effect that there were other women
IN Pittsburg, and many Of them, who
were guilty OF the same offenses as had
been charged against Mrs. Hartje. In
an impassioned speech TO the court
Ferguson declared:
I repeat, many a woman in PittsburS
as high IN life socially has sinned just
as this woman has done"
The broadness Of the accusation has
caused q tremendous sensation here.
This afternoon the matter was taken
Up by the women Of the Reformed Pres
byterian Church OF Williamsburg. II
was brought to their attention by Mrs.
r. {. Wylie, wife OF the pastor Of the
church. While no action was taken.
Ferguson was vigorously denounced by
the women
so sweeping a statement is not only
q disgrace TO the man who uttered IT,"
declared Mrs. Wylie, but casts a slur
on womanhood which is a blot that
must be wiped out"
The matter was also discussed today
st z. meeting OF the United Presbyterian
Women's Association, which is expected
70 take action on it. The New Era Club
has also taken il up, and Mrs. James
r. KILLER. the president, today declared:
Intelligent women have fallen. but
they are the exception. Cultured women
by their pure home lives are a living
refutation OF the statement made by
Mr.. Ferguson"
The HartJe case will be resumed in
court tomorrow. and it is probable that
IL viii continue through the greater
part Of the week
There was a rumor current today
that ". B. Rodgers would withdraw
from the case OF account OF the sensa-
tionaI turn II has taken, but Rodgers
declares that this report is untrue
John Marion, attorney for Hartje,
said this afternoon:
we Will go into the Clifford Hooe
matter Just as far as the court will
permit Us. We are not running away.
We viii meet the issue, and the Hooe
matter viii be brough out in all its
details by US If possible"
II is rumored that the defense has
again decided to bring out the Hotel
Lincoln case and the Watson street
charges, but the attorneys viii not ad-
nit that there IS any truth in that re-
port They fatty declare that this is
no time for them to show their hand.
Prominent attorneys OF the Allegheny
County bar who have watched the
Hartje trial since il began now believe
the decision Of Judge Frazier win be
final and that no appeal viii be taken
by the losing side. II is thought that
the great amount Of publicity which
has been given the principals has thor
oughly disguised them all and that
they viii not want to drag II further
through the courts.
