New YORK, May IL NOW tnhb ou- L
preme Court Justice Scott has decided |
that Lawyer Abraham Hummel must |
stand trial for subornation OF perjury |
in the Dodge Morse divorce scandal, !
II is probable that the metropolis will |
obtain some interesting revelations in /
rapard 20 the methods by which /
divorces are pushed through the local /
county courts. Anyone who studies /
the testimony in q number Of the /
divorce cases will be impressed with |
the fact that in the great majority Of |
eases the testimony Of one side is

the rule rather than the exception in |
our divorce testimony. Stories Of
stuffed witnesses, fake Co respondents
and even false principals parading
before the court under assumed names,

change one Of them took charge of
mop and pail in one OF the largest
trust companies Of the city, the nomi-

notable 6nanciers OF the old style, and

When this new scrubwoman came TO
take up her duties, the retiring scrub
woman gave her some instructions,
ndmonishing her particularly to be
sure TO bring a dollar with her every
morning. "rhe boss often comes
down In hired cab, ~ she explained,
and he'll ask you TO pay the cabman
for him. Then he'll send back the
money TO you later in the day. - The
new scrubwoman found that things
turned out as her predecessor had pre-
dicted, and for many weeks she paid
Ter the morning cab getting back the
money Inter. AT first she puzzled over
why the millionaire never paid the
cabman himself, but later, when she
began TO get some insight into the
workings OF the gentleman's mind,
she ceased to wonder lie utilized the
Hcrubwoman as paymaster simply to
