FAVORED MRS. HARTJE.
Former Maids Testimony Made I'm.
 pOrtnnt Point For Respondent.


 PITTSBURG, July 2S.-Susie wag. ner, formerly maid in the employ of the Hartje household, was a witness for MT. Hartje in his suit for divorce, but by her testimony made an impor- tant point for Mrs. Hartje.
 That Susie Wagner received three letters from Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje while Susie was in Germany was brought out. Hitherto only two letters had been mentioned, one of them being the disputed letter known as exhibit No. 8. Miss Wagner said she gave the second letter to Ed Harte in New York. Mrs. Hartje's attorneys have contended all along that exhibit No. 6 was a forged reproduction of another letter. The admission that the second letter reached the Hartje side two months before No. is regarded as i'm portant in view of the contention of Mrs. Hartjc's counsel.
 The girl broke down as If conscience stricken and told what. she says. Is the whole truth. It put an entirely new phase on her testimony. threw Hartje's case in the air and proved the most unexpected and most sensational event of the trial to date.
 In order that she should not be fur ther subjected to annoyance at the hands of rowdies three detectives now guard Mrs. Hartje while on the street.
