Even his aged mother, who visited
him this afternoon. was unable to un-

that he had been making counterfeit
money. They tried to question him
further, but he refused to utter an
other word.
1t was learned today that Smith at

Thank God there is a higher stand

such a thing as inalienable rights is
impossible. A hundred years ago this
government plainly defined its system
of law as opposed to the French con-

defined and set forth that the inherent

The labor movement was formed to i'm

! to improve that of society, and so of
necessity it is an enemy of liquor.
I'VE have in the labor movement
unfortunately, large numbers of men
engaged in manufacturing liquors
such men as brewers and beer bottlers
They are men like yourselves, and you
cannot blame us for sympathizing
with them when they say that to abol-
ish the trade would throw them out OF
employment.
But, in my personal opinion, I will
say that if / were given my alternative

would vote to put them in the
street-and then work to get them

LABORI ARRAIGNS
MRS. HART M'kEf
Fair Exterior Conceals Dia-
bolicaI SOUL" Charges Fa=
NOUS French Advocate
Reputation of Former Mrs.
Tevis Is Torn to Tatters in
Her Suit for Divorce
SPECIAL CABLE TO THE CALL


PARIS, March 1s.-Maitre Labori, most
celebrated of French counselors, tore
a woman's good name to tatters today
when he attacked Mrs. Hart Mckee in
the presentation Of the husbands side
in the suit brought by the wife. M.
Labori characterized Mrs. Mckee as a
most impudent pleader. whose physical
beauty and exterior grace cloaked a
soul that was cruel and base. She was
described as cruel when laboring under
hysterical immodesty.
The first hearing of the case took
place March 4, when Mrs. Mckee S
counsel described certain alleged in
dignities to which she had been sub
jected by her husband. Today Maitre
Labori made counter charges of a most
scandalous character against the wife
and declared that if the court granted
a divorce it should pronounce in favor
Of the defendant and not in favor of
the plaintiff.
WIDOW or HUGH TENS
Mrs. Mckee is a daughter of George
". Baxter of Tennessee. She was the
widow of Hugh Tevis at the time of
her marriage to Mckee i'm Philadelphia
clared that Mckee married Mrs. Tevis
TO save her honor He mentioned also
an Italian marquis as a correspondent.
Under a fair and gracious exterior
she wears a devilish soul" cried La
bori. Her beauty conceals a nature
inconceivably perfdious. false, cruel
dia bolical."
Labori charged Mrs. Mckee with in
timacy with Lord RosIyn before she
became engaged to Mckee. He had a
letter from a Folkestone hotel keeper
to give color to this charge. and three
others that Roslyn had written to her.
He declared that Mrs. Mckee was liv-
ing with Hart Mckee not only before
she married him, but within five days
after they first met.
He welded this woman to save her
honor" cried the advocate, "and found
afterward that even then she would not
be true to him.
At times Labori worked himself into
an apparent paroxysm of oratory, only
to pause-as though in admiration of heI
overwhelming treachery, and exclaim
ssWHAT 4 LIAR.- HE CRIES
What liar she is. How immodest
How shamelesst. Following the death
of Tevis, his widow and Mckee, who
had not secured his divorce at that
time, were described by NJ. Labori as
sojourners in Europe. While at Men
tone, he said, the couple were known
under the name of Davis, and Mrs
Tevis, appealing to the honor of Mckee
pleaded for an early marriage and tool
an active part in arranging the terms
for McKee's divorce.
Letters written by Mrs. Tevis at this
time to Mckee were said by NJ Labor
to breathe romance in every line
One read:
My soul goes on the Savoie, or
which you sail. Tell me again how
much you love me- 1 know only this
I want you. / want only you. / adore
you ] adore you I send you my good
night kiss. I take your lips upon mine
so close that they make only one to-
gether."
Many other letters of like fervol
were read.
