ATTORNEY MILLER
STILL ENGAGED IN
CALDWELL CASES

All hope of a compromise in the
Hollowel night rider suits has not
been lost, as shown by the return to
Princeton today of Attorney ]. G..
Miller, counsel for the plaintiff. Fur
Their proof that efforts are still being
made to compromise the suits is
found in the fact that United States
Marshal Neel has not returned with
the papers served, or with the per-
sons of the defendants.
One man in touch with the night
rider situation said today that
throughout the black patch where
any troubles have arisen, there are
hundreds of men in daily fear that
they will be made the defendants in
big damage suits. 1t Is said that
among these are men who never
raised a pound of tobacco in their
lives. The verdict in the Hollowell
suit has put them on the anxious
seat
"Night riders acted without think
ing of the consequences in the past,
| this man said, "but since the federal
court has become a factor they will
think twice now before they act, and
then some"

DEFENSE PROVES
CERTIFICATE IS
OF TOO LATE DATE
The Judge decided for senator Tom
Plat and committed Mae Wood TO jail
on a charge of perjury.

New York. May 21.-The defense
in the suit of Mae Wood against SEN
ator Plat for divorce, introduced the
deposition of a Philadelphia sta
toner that the marriage certificate
presented by the woman was not en-
graved until 1902, whereas she
claims. the marriage occurred in
1901. The stationer described the
difference in the plates used and
seems to offer positive proof. Frank
Plat, the senator's son. admitted
being present when the attorney was
paid $4,000 for the Wood letters.
The entire family thought the affair
one of blackmail and wanted to get
of as cheaply as possible. None OF
the letters contained references to
the woman as wife.
