Pittsburg, July 20.-Following
sensational attack on the character
of Augustus Hartje, plaintiff IN the
famous divorce case, in which 1t was
alleged that he had taken two diner
ent women frequently to a question:
able resort. the real sensation OF the
dav in the Hartje divorce trial culmln-
ated Yesterday afternoon when Judge
Frazer admitted, under bitter protest
of the opposing counsel, testimony
relating to charges OF conspiracy
against John l. Welshons, a proml-
nent merchant; Augustus HartJe, IL
bellant and Clifford Hooe, the negro
coachman now in jail on perjury
charges for alleged false swearing IN
the case.
Welshons, who was called by Mrs.
Hartje's counsel, told how deposit
ton was secured from Hooe. He said
that Hooe then left the city and the
witness told of having given him va
rIous small sums of money at differ
ent times. This looked like black
mail the witness said. He said ne
might have told Hooe that he would
be sent to the penitentiary Tor per
Jury if he did not stick to the original
story he told. Welshon's story, 1t is
said. comedies very closely with a
statement of Hooe, relating to the
case, which is in possession OF the DIS
trict attorney.
This was the first attempt during the
trial to present evidence of the al
legged conspiracy which Mrs. Hartje's
counsel declare was formed to de-
fame her. Welshons is close frleno
of Augustus Hartje and is accused
with Hartje and Hooe of conspiring
against Mrs. Hartje.
Hooe, some months ago, made a
deposition in which he said he mad
been intimate with Mrs. HartJe. lie
afterward repudiated it, and is now
in iail on a charge of perjury Wei
shons told the entire story, and said
that Hoo's deposition was taken IN
his store by Attorney Edward G
Hartie. Augustus Hartje's brother
and Attorney Andrew Fisher, HartJe' S
brother-in-laW.
Welshons detailed how he assisted
Hooe to get away from detectives
and of the various times he gave Hooe
money on his demand. Welshons
j however, declared that Augustus
Hattie knew nothing of the fact that
VERSIONS was paying Hooe money
and that he never spoke to him about
it.
Welshons foiled every attempt
made to show that he had conspired
with Hartje to get Hooe to make the
deposition.
In placing WClshons on the stand
Attorney FrcHman, for Mrs. Hartje
said he did ST. to prove that an at
tempt had been made to tamper the
witnesses.
