SHADE PASSES LIE AND UPSETS
 TANzER TRIAL
Shrieks at Osborne and Inn pugns Old Foe as Re-
 trieVed Drunkard,

New OrR, June 15"Bon1anl1n s1ade, attorney for Rae Tanzer. on trial charged with perjury. accused William Rand, Jr., special Govern ment attorney, of ''an absolute and un- qualified falsehood' when MT. Rand challenged his reading of a record yesterday. MT. SIade was rebuked by Judge Wolverton and forced to apologize to MT. Rand.
 The court was in an uproar in a moment, when the lie was passed. Judge Wo1verton arose, counsel for both sides surged to the witness stand, where James w. Osborne was testifying, and the jury leaned for ward tensely. Juror No. 2 asked that the stenographer read his record to determine how MT. SIade had worded his reading of the transcript. The stenographer. corroborated MT. Bands objection.
 MT. Slade was reading from a tran script of the hearing before Connnais- sioner Houghton in March, 1915, re- ferring to the testimony of MT. Os- borne concerning the receipt of letters from Rae Tanzer. MT. Rand Jumped up and accused the counsel of leaving out the word lone" qualifying a state ment concerning the letters.
 That is absolute and unquaIi-s fled falsehood!' shouted MT. S1ade.
 'I stand the record,'' replied Mr. Rand.
 ''The assertion was absolutely inac- curate and deliberately SOL MT. Slade said.
 The juror then insisted that the stenographer's record be read. The reading showed that the word "one,' which appeared in the transcript, had not been mentioned by MT. Slade.
 ''It was an inaccuracy either of the stenographer or of counsel, but it was a deliberate falsehood on the part of MT. Rand,' insisted MT. SIade. MT Rand appealed to the court.
 The court then rebuked MT. Slade and admonished him to stop talking. MT. Shade apologized.
 MT. Osborne in further ernphasizine his dfssfnilarity to the elusive ''Oli- ver," said that he never wore dia- monds carried a cane and that he smoked only cigarettes He asserted he had not taken drink since Dec. 12, 1915.
 You swore off because you used to be so drunk you couldn't do your work, didn't you? shouted MT. SIade.
 Never was drunk in my life,' an- swered the witness. Then he added: I'm not going to answer any one of those insulting questions
 eff you were the Oliver Osborne that took and ruined this poor girl, would you admit it?" shouted Mr. Slade.
 The witness refused to answer on
  assume that he was some one else.
 You may own the District Attor- ney's office, but you don't own the court room," almost shrieked MT. Slade.
 I'm not Oliver Osborne, never have been, never impersonated him and never knew this girl, Rae Taanzer''
 MT Slade moved to decelare a mis- trial when MT. Rand attempted to in troduce as evidence letters from On- yer Osborne to Rae Tanzer. These letters were in possession of the de- fence, although they had been intro duced as evidence in the trial of Franklin D. Stafford, the hotel clerk, for perjury.
 Judge Wolverton ordered the de- i fence to deliver the letters to the clerk of the court to be put in evidence against the vehement objections of 1 MT. S1ade. The letters were then | read to the jury by MT. Rand.
 William J. Kitchin, former proprie- l tor of the Kensingron Hotel. Plain field, N. J., was put on the stand to l relate the details of the visit be- | tween Oliver Osborne and Rae Tanzer. l James w. Osborne was requested to | stand up, and the witness was asked | MT. Osborne was the man | who called there Sunday, Oct. IS, 1914, l with a girl.
 Positively not MT. Kitchen said, | looking squarely at MT. Osborne. ''He | bears no resemblance to the man."
 Rae Tanzer up to this time had been a slightly amused and apparently dis | spectator She began to | weep when the visit to the hotel was | described. She covered her face with | her hands and sobbed audibly. In a | few minutes she was smiling again | vaguely.
 In the cross examination of Mr. | when MT. Slade characterized | Mr Osborne a lawyer MT. Rand objected to the re- | mark as insulting and asserted that l MT. Osborne was entitled to protec- ton from the court.
 Hes getting all the protection he's entitled to and more too!'' cried Mr.. S1ade.
 The Court ordered the question stricken out and admontshed MT. S1ade.
