on the complainant's character, de.
livered the closing address to the
jury today. Verdict may he reached
before night
Counsel for Miss Talbot contended
in his closing remarks to the jury that
Miss Mercy had lied on the witness
stand and ogled the turymen. Miss
Mercy's attorney accused opposing
counsel Of attempting to blacken the
complaina nt's character.
Il will show you gentlemen tina,
this woman lied while she was on the
witness stand" said Attorney Walker
spea king for the defense. How lone
do you think she would have re.
mained at the university If they had
known about Reynolds. her married
fiance? I say she would not have re.
mained there minute. Gentleman
what Is the purpose of this scandalous
case? I have noticed the conduct OF
ogled and fiirted with you gentlemen
and YOU can see with what we have to
contend. She knew she lied when she
toll you gentlemen she did not in
tend to 60 on the stage"
In replying to the charges of the
defense. ATTORNEY Jennings said:
Attorney Walker has called this
girl bad girl. and has gone through
this case bespattering her with mire.
II this case has caused any advertis-
ing. then 1t Is Brother Walker who
has helped advertise 1t They did not
have the nerve to charge this bad
girl with the crime of which they
have tnsinuated she is Guilty."

GETS H0MES|CK
Floretta Whaler Who Elop.
ed With Preacher, Re-
turns to Grandmother.

Hampstead, Long Island, April s.
Floretta Wnaley who eloped, from
tiempstead six years ago, when six.
teen years of age with the Rev. Jere
Is. Cooke, rector Of st. Georges Epis-
copal church Of which August Bel.
mont is senior warden, returned to the
nome of her grandmother here yester-
DAY with the statement that she was
homesick for old friends and relatives
Cooke did not accompany her and she
stayed but short while: then return
ed to New York where she Joined the
|rntrocked Clergyman.
The former minister and the girl
who renounced her family for his sake
came east from San Francisco, where
they have been living since the elop.
ment on March 5. 1907.
Scarlet fever and diphtheria were
epidemic in San Francisco at the time
and inasmuch as a child had been
borne to them 1t was deemed expedi-
ent to come east for q short visit in
order that Floretta might see her rela-
tives.
When Cooke and the girl left Hemp
stead he deserted his wife, who was a
member ofa prominent and well-to-do
family In Hartford, Conn. The clope-
ment caused sensation. Miss Whaley
will shortly inherit more than $4,000
from her fathers estate and upon the

keziah Whaley. of this place, she will
receive about $4,000 more. Cooke
has gone into the decorating business

SUICIDE WILL

The witness also asserted Smith,

threatened to end his life. This testi-

1t Is one Of the most interesting facts
about the present development Of the
national campaign.
The interaction between different
political factors. in such a mixed situa

The feeling that Taft cannot he elect
ed II nominated has encouraged a GER
tain recklessness among the demo-
Gratis. Six months ago democrats
were a unit in insisting that they
would win If they just put up a good
progressive"
Today the same politicians who used
to talk that way are engaged in an al
lance to defeat the one democratic
candidate whom the progressive wing
OF the party accepts. and who makes
appeal to the progressive wing of the
republican party as well.
If this alliance should succeed, IL
Clark or Harmon should get the demo
cratic nomination. and II Taft should
get the republican. then. the induce
ment for a third party would he vast
ly increased. The progressives in both
parties. beaten at home. would see no
chance at all unless they should get
together in a new party for all pro-
gressives. That is the condition most
likely to make third party a serious

Secretary Nagcl says, in reply tu
the demand for a verdict, that ii
would be wholly impracticable for the
bureau. and entirely outside OF its
Jurisdiction. to render verdict on
the existence Of the so-called lumber
trust or conspiracy in restraint OF
trade: that the question is strictly a
legal one. Any attempt on the part
or the bureau Of corporations, says
the secretary, to make such a finding
OF guilty or not guilty. would be an
absurdity in itself. and would estab.
lish a most embarrassing precedent.

Manager Bronson expresses the

Regarding the request for ver-

that Secretary Nagel's criticism is un-

referred to as moral Indictment, and
that the verdict asked for is of SIM
