charges OF conspiracy against John IL.

jail on perjury charges for alleged false
swearing in the case.
Evidence Of Conspiracy.
welshons. who was called by Mrs
Hartje's counsel, told a clear story Of
how the deposition was secured FROM
Hooe. He said that Hooe then left tho
city and the witness told of having
given him various small sums OF money
at different times. This looked lias
blackmail, the witness said. He might
have told Hooe that he would be sent
TO the penitentiary for perjury IL be

told. Welshons's story, II is said. CO
incides very closely to the statement OF
Hooe, relating TO the case. which Is III

Mrs. Hartje's counsel opened I'D a
new line in the defense by presenting
evidence TO show that Hartje had yis

Some Of the Evils and Injustices, and
Oh Duty as Lawyers to It." before the
Georgia Bar association tonight
In the course OF his address. Mr.. Je-
rome referred to President Roosevelt's s
criticism of n United States Court Judge,
saying;
There is one injustice which public
opinion not infrequently does-it is one
which lawyers can do much TO correct
and that is the criticism of Judges for
decisions which they could not avoid
making II they obey the law. The recent
spectacle OF the nations chief executive
himself not a lawyer, criticising in a
public document Federal Judge for his
decision on point OF law, has not, be-
lieye, commended itself TO our profess
sion, The laws are our laws. Public
opinion made them and can change them,
Must Obey the Laws.
Every citizen has right TO crtcise
them and seek their amendment or re-
peal. but while they are our laws we
want our Judges to obey them and not
substitute for them something they
deem In accord with a thing so mutable
and different to ascertain as public
opinion
In the beginning Mr., Jerome said there
were men, guided by high sense of
duty, who would do and continue 10 DO
