GORE CASE IS CALLED.
Oklahoma Senator Is Defendant in
Sensational Damage Suit.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 1.-Testimony
of a sensational nature is expected In
the hearing Of the $4,000 damage suit
against United States Senator Thomas
p. Gore. filed by Mrs. Minnie Bond.
which opened in the district court here
today.
Senator Gore was present at the
trial opening, surrounded by a corps
of six attorneys. Mrs. Bond will be
represented Dy an equal number OF
lawyers. Mrs. Bonds charges are based
on an alleged attack on her by the
senator in a Washington hotel some
months ago. Mr.. Gore denies all al
created by his political enemies.
The senator is candidate for renomi-
nation at the Oklahoma primaries to be
held in August next. Considerable time,
it is expected, will be occupied in the
selection of a jury. A great part Of the
evidence to be submitted in the trial
is in the form of depositions taken in
different parts of the country.
Beside the blind senator sat his wife.
Mrs Bond sat near her attorneys. Ross
Lillard, attorney for the complainant.
in brief opening statement, before be-
ginning the Interrogation of prospec-
tive jurors, told of the alleged attack
upon Mrs. Bond. Mr.. Lillard question
ed the veniremen as to their personal
knowledge of the case and as to
whether they had been Influenced by
newspaper accounts. They were also
asked as to their attitude, politically,
toward Senator Gore.
Attorneys for the defendant. in their
questions, appeared to be guarding
against the selection Of any political
opponents of their client for the jury.
The court room was crowded by spec
tators. It is believed the trial will re-
Quire at least week.
Let down the bars,'' Senator Gore
said, just before trial began. Il am
ready for them. They say they can
prove damaging things against my
character, but before they get through
will have proved this suit il a frame
up to ruin my future political career"
Selection OF q Jury.
Julian r. Bond, the plaintiffs hus-
band. sat beside his wife. Both Mrs.
Bond and Mrs. Gore were stylishly
dressed. Among Mr.. Cores attorneys
were A. c. Cruce, brother of Gov.
Cruce and c. M. Key of Palestine.
Giddings, Ben F. Williams, 8. NJ
Rutherford and W. M. Strait assisted
in presenting the plaintiffs case.
While the jurors were being exam
ined, the defendant frequently turned
his sightless eyes toward the venire-
men. At times he rested his chin on
the heavy cane he carries as he leaned
far forward. Mrs. Gore occasionally
engaged in brief conferences with her
husbands counsel.
L. c. Satterlee. a venireman, replying
to questions said he had seven daugh-
ters and five sons. What are your
politics?" asked Giddfngs.
Socialist was the reply.
There was some disorder among the
spectators when Satterlee was being
questioned. but quiet soon was re-
stored.
