SENSATIONS
PROMISED
IN TRIAL
Blind Senator, Sued by Woman
Who Charges Assault, Calls
1t "Frame-up."

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA, Feb. IL.
Solidly banked around the walls and
overlooking the seating capacity of
sons were present when the trial of
the $4,000 damage suit brought by
Mrs. Minnie f. Bond against Thorn
as P Gore, United States Senator
from Oklahoma was begun before
District Judge George w. Clark to-
day
The formidable array of counsel on
both sides and the sharp legal Skin
mishes which marked the opening, in
dictated that this will be one of the
bitterest legal battles ever fought in
this section of the country.
Mrs. Bond came in with her hus-
band. Julian r. Bond, and took a seat
close behind her attorneys. She was
dressed plainly in a blue serge suit
and small chic hat. She and her
husband left the courtroom after a
conference with her attorneys.
In Court With Wife.
The questioning of the jurors was
under way when Senator Gore entered
court. Mrs. Bond had left a few
minutes before. The blind Senator felt
his way to a seat in front of the jury
box. He leaned heavily on the arm
of his wife.
Mrs. Gore took a seat directly at
his elbow and proceeded to draw a
word picture of the courtroom setting.
Senator Gore also was accompanied
by d. L. Frawley, Income Tax Col
lector for Texas and Oklahoma, and
c. NJ. Kay, brother of Mrs Gore. Mrs.
Gore wore black hat with an i'm
mense yellow bird of paradise. Her
gown was of blue velvet. A silk lined
black fur coat was thrown back of
her chair.
Both the Senator and his wife lis
tened intently to the questions asked
the witnesses.
In Midst Of Campaign.
But one juror went unchallenged
out of the first five examined.
The more important questions ask
ed each juror dealt with their atti-
tude toward the protection of wo-
men and the influence, if any, Sena-
tor Cores position would have on
their verdict.
Coming in the midst of Cores cam
paign for reelection to the Senate,
the trial is attracting unusual inter-
est.
Mrs. Bond, a handsome woman of
80 years, charges the Senator with
having attempted to assault her in a
hotel room In Washington more than
a year ago.
Calls Charges Frameup.
Senator Cores defense will be that
he is the victim of political frame
up" and declares that he wants the
case to be aired to the fullest extent
In court, and that ne i'll be able to
show to what extent his enemies will
go to satisfy political grudge.
The records of the complainant and
defendant for years back have been
eagerly scanned by opposing attor-
neys, and it is said that every act
of importance Of either. material to
the case, will be told to the jury,

The trouble he had at that time was
enough to take the heart out OF any
man. He came back virtually ply
sical wreck. Yet he never gave up
nor lost his interest in his work and
in his town. on the contrary as
mayor he led the most extensive cam
paign OF progress ana betterment
ever witnessed here. During his re-
cent years as mayor Pendleton has
done more building, more street work
and more general improvement than
during any time in history. Further
more the mayor as the heaviest prop
erty owner taxed himself more than
anyone else for every step that was
taken. Consequently the chief credit
for Pendieton's period of improve
ment may be truthfuliy given TO w,
F. Matlock. AS sick man. hardly
able to walk and suffering constantly
he did more for the material pro-
gress OF this city than all other peo-
