he denied the charge. He was red

YEAR IN PRISON
FOR ABE HUMMEL,
New York Lawyers Sentences
Affirmed by Court OF
That State.

New York, May 11.-One year in
State prison and to pay a fine of $500
was the sentence imposed to-day on
Abraham II. Hummel, the lawyer who
was convicted of conspiracy in TIE ia
nous Dodge-Morse divorce suit Hum
mel was convicted in the New York
State Supreme Court several months
ago, but applied to the appellate di-
vision of that court. The decision was
affirmed to-day by the higher court.
Conspiracy to annul the marriage of
Chas. w. Morse, the financier, to Mrs.
Chas. F. Dodge was the crime of which
Hummel was convicted. Mrs. Dodge
had secured a divorce from her for
mer husband in 1898. Three years
later she was married to Mr.. Morse.
In 1903 Hummel,as counsel for Dodge,
began proceedings to annul the decree
of divorce separating Dodge and Mrs.
Dodge, on the ground that no papers
in the case were ever served on Dodge
He was successful and the divorce
was set aside, but it was learned sub
sequently that the papers had been
served on Dodge. The divorce was
then reaffirmed and Mrs. Dodge again
became the wife of Mr.. Morse.
1t will be remembered that Abe
Hummel was an important witness
against Harry Thaw in his recent
trial. He contradicted Mrs. Evelyn
Thaw's evidence on many material
