TOO MUCH TALK.
The Court Again scoIds Lawyers in
the Hartje Case.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 1.-THE wide
prominence given the details of the
Hartje divorce case was the subject
of further remarks by Judge Robert
Frazer when the trial was resumed to-
day The judge talked to counsel on
the same line as yesterday, saying that
he did not wish to appear as accusing
the attorneys of bad faith. but that he
wished to emphasize his assertion
that there had been too much talking
out Of court.
The remarks of the judge relieved
the monotony Of the testimony, which
was entirely by handwriting experts
and covered ground that had already
been traversed. James Duff and
James H. Orr, both connected with To-
cal banks. said that Mrs. Hartje, in
their opinion did not write the susie
Wagner" letter as did also ]. H.
Nicely. The latter had a refreshingly
new definition for the missive in that
he said that it twas not full of life,
meaning that it was not free hand.
