THE GARRICK

The romance and lore of the Orient.
with it's mystery and fascination are
irrisistibly woven into "The Road to
Love-" the Oliver Morosco photoplay
in which Lenore Ulrich, the popular
stage and screen star, appears in the
role of Hafsa, the daughter Of an
Arabian chief, who loves a young
American against the wishes of her
father. Her love is reciprocated, but
her sweetheart is captured by her own
father and sent away to be sold as
a slave. The unfolding of the story
displays many dramatic situations, in
which Miss Ulrich is called upon to
put forth her best histrionic efforts.
Very artistic effects have been secured
in the elaborate settings of the story,
a beautiful sunset desert
scene, which is the background for
one Of the most stirring incidents in
this unusual picture.
1.-THE Road to Love will be shown at
the Garrick Monday and Tuesday.

mer Assistant District Attorney under
Mr. Perkins, as special deputy for the
same reason.
Upon trial of his case" Mr.. Swami
recites, "Rofrano testified that he felt
that he was getting fair trial at my
hands and stated under oath that the
reason he ran away was because he
did not think he could get fair trial
from Mr.. Perkins, my predecessor, who,
as your excellency knows. is a man Of
great probity and fairness"

the effect that he had driven Rofrano
in city automobile TO the Borough
Park home of Joseph Brundini, an al

Neither | personally. nor anybody

Office or Saturday, October IS, 1916, he
went about his business.
Knox was a material and important

Whithorne to Defend
Wife's Divorce Action
Declares Charges Unfounded ;
Deplores Reflections on
Martha Hedman

Roy Emerson Whithorne, composer
will defend the action for divorce
brought against him BY Mrs. Ethel Leg
gins Whithorne, known in the music
world as Nine. Leginska. Mrs. Whit
horne has named Martha Hedman, the
star in The Boomerang" as core
spondent.
The composers announcement is con-
tanned in statement issued yesterday
through his attorneys, O'Gorman, Bat
tie & Vandiver. IL was believed that
Mr.. Whithorne was in Chicago, and
his wife arrived there yesterday in
search Of him. She filed in Chicago a
suit for $4,000 against Miss Hedman
for alienation OF her husbands afec-
tons.
This is the third matrimonial action
which my wife has instituted since we
were separated" said Mr.. Whithorne
yesterday. 1.-THE first action was
brought in England and has never been
prosecuted. The second, which was
brought in the courts of this state, was
discontinued upon a statement Of my
wife's attorneys that she had no evil
dence to substantiate the charges she
made.
This third action. which is absolute
ly unfounded, contains outrageous re-

No Proof Swami
Practised Fraud,
Ingraham Finds
He Says Evidence So Far
Would Not Justify In
dorsing Charges

Commissioner George l.. lngraham'
before whom the City Club charges
against District Attorney Swami are
being heard. declared yesterday that
70 evidence has been introduced that
would justify him in reporting to Gov
ernor Whitman that the District At
torney practised fraud on the Court OF
General Sessions by recommending bail
dismissal in the cases of the indicted
labor officials.
The Commissioner also held that Mr..
Swami had not intimidated Lucian ;.
Breckenridge, his former special dep
uty.
Commissioner Ingraham asserted that
the only question remaining before him
was as to the propriety of the methods
used by Mr.. Swami or his assistants n
obtaining indictments for perjury
against witnesses who had helped bring
about the indictments Of the labor OIL
cials in 1914 and 1915.
Commissioner Ingraham questioned
the motives Of Assistant District At
torney Markewich. who caused the IN
dicted witnesses TO take the stand be-
fore Judge Mcintyre, in General Ses-
sions, after they had pleaded guilty TO
perjury. Markewich declared he fol-
lowed a statutory requirement passed
in 1909. John Is. Stanchfeld, counsel
for MIR. Swami, assured Commissioner
Ingraham that Markewich's action was
necessary as the first step of proof in
the prosecution of Max Sulkes, the
master mind" who suborned most OF
the alleged perjury in the labor cases.
Assistant District Attorney Alfred j.
Talley testified that he saw no reason
for prosecuting the witnesses against
the labor union defendants, because he
believed that they had no bearing what
ever on Mr.. Swanns defence.
He said the District Attorney was
ready at all times TO concede that he
lad not examined these witnesses be-
fore recommending dismissal of the
union officials bail Mr.. Talley denied
oategorically all charges that the in
dicted witnesses had been threatened or
offered inducements TO plead guilty.
Mr. Swami will take the stand on
Monday.

Burglar Insists
Teacher Fiancee
Is to Marry Him
Convinces Court He's Still In
gagged to Woman Who Got
Parole for Him

Henry Conrad Hoppe. a placid and
youthful ex-burglar. stood before Judge
Rosalsky in General Sessions yesterday
wondering in apparent unconcern
whether he was 70 wear the conven-
tal black or don again the no less
formal gray in vogue at Sing Sing. Sent
enced 10 three and half years by Judge
Rosalsky, he had been released by the
Board of Parole, even that unromsntic
body yielding to the plea Of Miss Mary

lie school in Corona.
Mss Fairchild has been actively en-
gagged for many years in prison well
fare work. She is several years the
senior Of Hoppe, who is twenty-ninc
years old. Becoming interested in the
young mans case and convinced of his
reformation, she interceded for him
with Judge Rosalsky. confding in the
Judge, it was asserted yesterday on
good authority, her intention of marry
ing Hoppe. Judge RosalsSy on those
grounds recommended the case to the
attention of the Parole Board.
What he wanted to learn from
Hoppe yesterday was whether his re-
lease had been obtained under false
pretences, as it was said that Miss
Fairchild had set Corona gossip agoe
with a denial of her engagement "a
Hoppe. The young man satisfied the
court that, il the engagement were
broken. he didn't know anything about
it. and was released again to await
the end of Miss Fairchild's school
term, when, il was said, the wedding
wss to take place.
Hoppe went straight TO the home OF
Miss Fairchild. at 4 Ithaca Street, Elm
hurst. Miss Fairchild was there last
night. but not disposed to talk Of her
affairs.

ment." she said. "What 7 told Judge

gentlemen and myself. II were TO be
