MAE WOOD TAKEN
T0JA|L0NC CHARGE:
OF PERJURY
Collapse Of Divorce Case Against
Senator Plat.
SCORED BY JUSTICE O'CORMAN
Alleged Marriage Certificate. Blank
Was Not Printed Until a Year
After the Date.
SCORED BY JUSTICE 0'GORMAN

New York May 22.-Mae Catherine
Wood, told by Justice O'Gorman that
he believed she had used both forgery
and perjury in her attempt t o es.
tablish proof of marriage with Sena-
tor Plat, was committed to the Tombs
yesterday afternoon in default of
IS, 900 bail. The order of commit
ment, however, specified only perjury
as the charge.
Although the language of Justice
O'Gorman was direct, the woman bore
up without wincing. She was pale,
but she tried to smile as she was led
to prison by Captain Lynch. Once
there. she laughed as Warden Flynn
assigned her to ground floor cell,
and said she did not expect to remain
long.
This was the end of the divorce
suit brought by Miss Wood against
the senior Senator from New York.
Also II was the climax Of the publici.
| ty given for several years at fitful
periods TO the woman's assertions,
first that she was engaged to Mr..
Plat, and then again that she had
been his wife for more than two years
before the time the engagement
had been terminated.
Following the testimony of Sena
tor Plat on Wednesday that he had
signed the alleged confession OF
marriage on a blank sheet which had
been sent to him by woman pur
porting to be an autograph collector
the defence began to pile up its case
The authenticity of the alleged mar.
rage certificate had been denied al
together. The browning blow at this
came yesterday when a deposition
from the publisher of the certificate
form was read, in which he declared
that the form had not been made un
til 1902, although the certificate had
been dated November 3, 1901.
Other witnesses had testified, in
Guiding Frank Plat, son OF the de
PENDANT, who told of purchasing the
letters from Hummel. Then John B
Stanchfield announced that he rested
the defence. Charles +. lie Barber
trial lawyer for Miss Wood. recalled
her TO the stand. He asked her II she
still reiterated her assertion that she
was married to Mr.. Plat. She repeat
1t, as well as her testimony that the
Senator had given the certificate tC
her.
When the attorneys had concluded
their arguments Justice OGoramr
said:
The court cannot credit the plain
THIS evidence as to the alleged mar
riage and the testimony in this case
as 1t impresses the court, is that this
is most wicked design to support 6
fictitious claim by forgery apd per
jury.
The court cannot believe from the
evidence that there ever was mar
riage or that the plaintiff belivet
that she was married. So, on the
merits of the case, every issue is re
solved against the plaintiff, and beint
impressed with the plaintiffs gull
committing perjury In this case, o.
which the court cannot entertain an!
doubt, the court commits her to the
City Prison unles she furnishes bal
in $1,000.

CENSORSHIP OF NOVELS.

There are growing indications botl in England and America that in thi day, when everyone can write & book, and no book can be sc bad that 1t can not find publisher--of a sort--sofne sort of authority to pass upon tho ques ton whether or not book is fit to b. blished is necessary.
 There is school of writers in Eng land who make business of writing novels on erotic themes; novels whicl deal with all sorts of sex problems, and which offendN good taste and decency, and in that country the evil is becom- ing so marked that it would not be at all surprising if tre office of censor of literature were created
 In this country we have, in some measure, federal censorship exercised in the power of the postmaster gener Il to exclude from the mails any liter aturo he deems harmful to the moral: of the commonwealth. This does mol always work very well, to be sure, as books banned by the postofice depart nent find in that very fact good ad vertisement, and there is no way oi preventing their sale in tho cities.
 The solon who will devise some plai or law that will serve to restrain tn output of works of fiction that, ill written or well-written, are harmful il their tendencies, shameful in thei imaginirgs. nastv se [" uorals. will de serve we'll of his country. M
 Fortunately t. cle s.~ s. in this coun try, at least, to be quick realization of the harm that this growth of cratic ism in literature may do to the boo trade. In some cities already the book sellers have got together, and hay agreed not to sell questionable fictior This is move in the right direction The American Booksellers association in annual convention in New York las week, took up this very matter and of cially declared that it 'feels calle upon at this time to use its infuenc to discourage the publication and sal of books of a profound immoral plc or tone."
 Action such as that win undoubtedl do much toward correcting the evil 1 our country; that and the general sound public taste of the country, whic only once in awhile allows itself to l bamboczled into running after sill
