HoOE CONVICTED OF PERJURY.
Negro Swore Falsely in Attacking
Name Of Mrs. Hartie.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 31.-Clifford
Hooe, the negro who was formerly
employed by Augustus c. Hartje as
coachman. was convicted Of perjury
In court yesterday for having sworn
to outrageous charges involving Mrs.
Mary Scott Hartje, the beautiful wife
OF his former employer.
The jury which had been hearing
the evidence for several days was out
only short time after having heard
the Judges charge and returned the
verdict of guilty. Hooe's attorneys
Will probably take an appeal.
The charge against Hooe grew out
of his connection with the divorce
suit of Hartje against his wife, which
occupied the attention of the courts
some months ago. Hooe was offered
as a witness on behalf of the husband
and made a deposition to the effect
je, that she had visited him fre-
quently at the stables and had made
love to him and kissed him. The
utterance of these charges produced
great shock and investigation
showed that the negro had been paid
for his testimony, that he had been
furnished large sums of money by
Hartje after he had given his depo-
sition and that his testimony was
wholly false. He was arrested and
his trial upon the charge of perjury
followed.
A charge of perjury was also
placed against Hartje, and he lie
awaiting trial on that charge. Hart
je and Hooe are further charged
with conspiracy in seeking to blast
the name of the beautiful woman.
