BY HIS SONS WIFE
Former Ambassador is Charged
With Alienation

Charlemagne Tower, former ambas
sador to Germany, is made defendant
in a suit filed by Mrs. Georgeanna
Tower in Philadelphia, asking dam
ages for the alleged alienation Of the
affections of Charlemagne Tower, Jr,
the twenty-six-year-old son Of the for
mer diplomat.
The suit comes as climax to re-
peated reports current in Philadelphia
that young Tower had been married
while a student at Yale, and repeated
denials by his parents and himself OF
the marriage.
The suit was filed by Harry D. West
colt, counsel for the younger Mrs.
Tower, who Is boarding with her moth
er, Mrs George A. Burdick, at 115
South Twentieth street. MIR. Towers
home is with his parents at 1913 Lo-
Gust street.
The statement of claims Is purely
formal alleging the marriage Of the
two young persons, and setting forth
that through suasion and threats Mr..
Tower has been induced to leave his
wife and to refuse to recognize her as
such.
Mrs. Tower was Georgeanna Bur-
dick, more widely known among her
friends by the name of Dixie" be-
cause of her pronounced southern &C.
cent. The marriage, according to Mrs.
Tower, was performed at the home Of
her mother, 2S Whalley avenue, New
Haven, Conn, on June 7. 1911.

SUI. Ter WILL

The Court TO Take Vote on
Monday Afternoon
ARGUMENTS ARE FINISHED
Judqe Cullen Advises Members to
Keep Their Own Counsel and Dis
cuss Case With No One.

The fate of William SulZe" Is to he
determined on Monday afternoon at
2.30 o'clock, to which time tie I'm
parchment court in Albany, n. l., al
iourned after Alton B. Parker and
Edgar 7. Bracket, for the prosecution,
and D. Cady Herrick, for the defense,
had finished a summarizing of the de-
bate, which probably will be recorded
as wholly worthy of this trial.
The forty-eight senators and nine
court of appeal judges go to their
homes for mediation, with an admoni'
ton from Chief Judge Edgar NJ. Cul.
len to keep their own counsel aud let
no one speak to them about the case.
1t will require thirty-eight votes to
convict.
Leaning forward in this throne-liEe
chair when Senator Bracket closed
his appeal for conviction, Judge CuE
len said, in the manner OF one =
dressing q jury: Before We &C Ny
adjourn l take the liberty OF Z '. Il
you a caution which to the lay ma
may be appropriate. II this were
criminal case, tryable before q c.:
and jury, It would be the duty o. ;''e
court under the provisions OF the c"'a
of criminal procedure to caution Jurors
not to discuss the case with parties,
nor allow themselves to be approach
ed.
"Of course this case Is somewhat
different This Is a court OF which we
are all equally members, but it seems
to me that the spirit OF the law Is
equally obligatory on us as 1t would
be in the case Of jury. We shouldn't
tolerate any one Of us to be approach
ed by a person concerning the merits
Of the case we are able to decide. We
shouldn't allow it to be spoken OF in
our presence. Keep whatever your
minds may be, keep that to yourselves
and your associates, until we finally
meet to determine this case at the
hour to which we adjourn.
"I hope we will comply with this
caution. 1t is necessary to avoid
scandal, to give confidence in the prop
er administration of justice, and after
a correct decision Of the case, the next
necessary thing is that people should
belieev that it has been decided prop
erly and without the Intervention OF
extraneous influence"
The decision to postpone consider
alton of the verdict until Monday was
made in an interval between tie end
of Judge Herrick's summing u2 and
the appearance of ex-senator Hearick's
summing up and the appearance of ex-
Senator Bracket to close the argu-
ment for the impeachment.
