HARTJE FILES REPLY
Answer to His wife's Petition for All
mony and Legal Expenses.

Answer to His Wife's Petition for All
mony and Legal Expenses.
Ptttsburg, Dec. 3.-Augustus Hartje,
one of the principals in the recent
sensational divorce case, fled a reply
in the common pleas court to-day 70
the petition for alimony and expenses
made by his wife, Mary Scott Hartje,
ten days ago, Mrs. Hartje set up the
claim that her husband had an income
of $4,000 a year and that her defense
to his charges had cost her 100000.
She asked for a sum to cover these ex-
penseN.
In his reply Mr.. Hartte entered a
general denial of the statements made
by his wife, and characterized them as
wickedly and maliciously false. All
charges of corrupting witnesses, or en-
tering into any conspiracy to produce
false testimony, are likewise denied.
and he specifically denies the incident
in reference to the conspiracy with
the negro Hooe.
While affirming the charges made in
the original libel Hartje demands an
itimdzed bill of his wife's expenses
and says that most of 1t was unrea-
sonably and unlawfully contracted. 1t
is also asserted that in as much as
the case had been fully tried and
only awaits the decision of the trial
judge, Mrs. Hartje has no right to ask
for alimony. The information as to
his income, or what he is worth, is
also denied, and it is further stated
that whenever the court will require
such information it will be furnished.

CLOSING SCENES ARE BITTER
COUNSEL IN GILLETTE CASE At
TACK EACH OTHER.

~~NNN-es~N
tors for the State of Fraud--Argu-
ments VIII be Closed To-day and Case
Given to the Jury.
Herkimer, N. Y, Dec. 3.-Never per-
haps in the history of Herkimer coun-
ty justice had the closing scenes of a
murder trial been characterized by
such bitter attacks Of counsel as de-
veloped IN the summing mp Of the Gill
lette case to-day. Replete as the trial
has been with surprises and sensation
none was prepared for the sharp ex-
change with which the day closed.
Judge Devendorf had expected to give
the case to the jury to-day, but after
District Attorney Ward had spoken
thirty minutes, court was adjourned
until tomorrow.
The prosecutor will conclude and the
judges charge will be made during to-
morrow.
Former Senator A. M. Mills close
personal and political friend of the
prosecutor, made the last appeal to
the jury to acquit Chester E. Gillette Of
the murder of Grace Brown, his sweet
heart at Big Mooselake, July IL. He
had occupied nearly the whole Of the
session and it was late in the day
when he dramatically declared that the
five physicians who had sworn that
there was a blood olot on Grace
Browns brain had sworn to a false
hood; that they had gotten together
and agreed upon common story for
the witness stand. and deliberately
withheld testimony favorable to his
client. Intimating that the physicians
we're improperly influenced, he added
IF there is am investigation of graft
some of these five doctors may figure
in it. They were paid large fees to
! give evidence which 1t was thought
was so prepared that 1t would convict
this boy / charge here and now-and
1 know personally each of the physi-
cians-that they did not bring in all the
facts. They did not report something
favorable to this boy Each of those
doctors knew that fraud was being
perpetrated. You can't pick out five
reputable physicians in the county
who would do such q thing as these
doctors did"
las Senator Mills concluded District
Attorney Ward jumped to his feet and
interrupting the judge, who had decid-
ed upon adjournment, launched into a
scathing denunclation of Senator Mills
and the methods he had taken to sway
the jury over to the defense Ais he
spoke the outstretch trembling hand of
the prosecutor shook in the face Of the
counsel for the defense.
