SOON TRY SUIT
AGAINST GORE
WOMAN ASKS $4,000 DAMAGES OF
BLIND sENAroR-REPUTA-
TON HURT is ALLEGED.

Oklahoma City,, Jan. 2S.-When the
the district court of Oklahoma county
convenes for the February term next
week one of the first cases that will
be brought up for trial, according to
present expectations, will be the $780,
900 suit filled by Mrs. Julian R. Bond
of this city against United States Sen
ator Thomas P. Gore, Oklahoma's
<blind man eloquent Both sides in
the case hint that the trial will devel-
OPP some sensational features that were
not brought to light when the charges
against Senator Gore were aired in
Washington a year or more ago.
Mrs. Bond, the plaintiff, is thirty
one years old, and is the wife of Julian
r. Bond of this city. She is of medium
size and rather striking appearance.
Her first husband was a dentist, whom
she married at 10, while he still had
another wife. After her first marriage
had been annulled she became a teach
Cl VI ohOl thdlu anu vas illus
ed when she met and married Bond.
In her suit against Senator Gore
the woman asks $4,000 for alleged
damages to her reputation following
advances made to her in Washington
when she called to see the senator in
the interests of her husbands candi-
dacy for the position of internal reve-
nue. collector.
Mrs. Bond said that when she first
saw Senator Gore in his private office
he seized hold of one of her hands,
and her mesh-bag, and that. when he
seized hold of one of her feet as she
sat talking to him she thought 1t time
to go He told her to see him again,
she said. The second tine they met
In room at her hotel, she said. At
that time he attempted to seize hold
Of her as she sat on the bed, she tes-
titled, and that when her glasses had
been broken in trying to avoid him
she called for help and left in company
with men who came to her assistance.
Friends Of M. Gore have not hesitat-
ed from the start to declare their be-
lief that the whole affair." as described
by the wcman in her testimony in
Washington, was plant" framed up
by the political enemies of the blind
senator to ruin his public career. 9th
ers ascribe the woman's action to a
desire for revenge upon Senator Gore
because he did not secure for her hus-
Sought.
In view of the fact that Senator
Gore is now candidate for reelection
the approaching trial and its outcome
are awaited with keen interest in DO
litical circles in Oklahoma. Many
persons we'll known in Oklahoma poll
tical circles are involved in the case.
James Jacobs, formerly chairman of
the Democratic central committee of
Oklahoma. and who has been promi-
nent in politics for more than twenty
years, is one of the chief witnesses
against Senator Gore. Another is

but later he declined to do so, hoping,
with the aid of Congress, to prevent
the overthrow of his administration.
