.HAPGOOD TURNS
JOKE ON JEROME
Golfers Editor, On Taking the
Stand in Town Topics Case,
Declares That Prose-
cutor Furnished In
formation for
His Article.
(py Associated Press. }

NEW YORK, January 25.--rhe last
stage OF the trial OF Norman Hapgood,
editor OF Golfers Weekly, charged with
clfninal libel In the publication of a par
agraph commenting upon City Magistrate
Deuls connection with Town Topics, was
reached to-day. when the taking OF testi-
rnony was ended. and Edward NJ. Shep-
ard. of counsel for tho accused editor.
made the opening argument for the de-
fense. AT the conclusion OF Mr.. Shep-
ards address to the jury, in which he de-
clared that everything stated in the par
agraph In Golfers was tr1ie. and In which
he commented severely upon the charac-
ter OF Town Topics as q publication, an
adjournment was taken until to-florrow,
when District Attorney Jerome will sum
UP for the prosecution.
In the course Of his argument, there
is In Town Topfcs' Office" said Mr.. Shep-
ard, what is called an index, history
of lleichery. lust. dishonesty. beastliness
and gruesome scandal. gathered in the
home and elsewhere. by agents OF the
paper, for use at a moments notice.
Think OF the names OF young girls and the
scandal there preserved! Why. the devil
himself might laugh with pleasure as he
goes through that treasure house and
blind paragraphs"
Jerome Furnished Data.
Several witnesses were examined dur
ing the early hours OF to-day's session.
The striking feature Of the testimony
was given by Mr. Hapgood himself. when
he took the stand In his own behalf and
declared that what he had written about
Town Topics was based upon inforrnati ton
furnished to him by District Attorney
Jerome himself.
Mr. Jerome here caused some merri-
uent by his statement that it seemed af-
ter all, he was the writer OF the article
involved iu the trial -,
iThat is true In measure assented
Mr.. Hapgooi-
Robert Collier. OF Golfers Weekly, tes-
titled to-day that Mr.. Hapgood had writ
ten the article concerning Justice Deuel.
and Town Topics under instructions from
him. District Attorney Jerome recalled
Colonel w d. Mann. editor OF Town
Topics, to give his version of his deal
ing with Bernard N. Baker. OF Baltimore
colonel Mann asserted that Baker offer
ed to advertise In Town Topics. and that
ne came to the conclusion that Baker
wanted notoriety.
Colonel Mann said that Burton Harri.
son wrote the introduction to .Fads and
Fancies.' but that neither Mrs. Clement
&C.. Moore Mrs. Andrew Simmons, nor
Harry Lehr ever gave him an item OF
information. Neither President Roosevelt
nor Grover Cleveland, he said. ever paid
any money for the use of their names
in .Fads and Fancies."
Bishop Potter. the witness said, was
also on the free list.
The last act OF District Attorney Je-
rome for the prosecution. was to place
in evidence a letter from President
Grover Cleveland. who had been given
an honorary subscription to "Fads and
Fancies." stating that he had examined
the publication and thought It an "ad-
miraNe book.

There was still another act in the

now shifts to the Chancery Court, in
which Mr.. Hill Montague yesterday ap-
peared and instituted suit for Mrs. H
N. Burton against a. Chadwick Burton
for alimony or money for her support
pending her suit now on In Philadel-
phia court for divorce.
Mrs. Burton also asked that certain
officers of the courts OF Richmond who
have or are supposed to have in their
keeping money that belongs to Burton
be enjoined from turning 1t over to Bur-
ton or anybody else; also that w. Il.
Creekmore, who was bondsman for Bur-
ton. be enjoined from disposing of any
funds of Burton's that he may have or
may know about.
The Injunction was granted returnable
ut rules on the 9th day of February.
The papers were served on Burton in
Jail, and on the other parties named in
their offices. AT least $3.50, possibly a
larger amount of Burton's funds has
thus been caught on the fly and the de-
serted wife may get a sufficient share
of 1t to make her trip to Richmond In
