over by Judge William C. van I looI' yesterday had the appearance or haberdashers shop at the resumption of the second trial of Rae Tanzer for perjury in swearing that James w. Osborne was the man who took her to a hotel in Plainfield, N. J., where they registered as "Oliver Osoorne and wife, New York city" Half a dozen canes of fanciful de- sign and as many expensive velour hats of various shades were spread ont on the counsel table, with cravats of various styles and eolers, from modest bat wing ties to heavy silk four-in-hands. In one corner of the railed enclosure stood two trunks. All of the articles were identified as be- longing to Charles H. Wax, the self confessed "Oliver Osborne" by Mrs. Mollie G. Denham, who conducts boarding house at No. 161 East Six tieth street, where Wax lived for six months under the names of "Ol1ver Osborne and Charles Bacon
 Mrs. Benham told or receiving let ters for her lodger under both the names mentioned and of young wo- men calling there to ask for "Ol1ver Osborne
 William Rand, IT,, special prose cutor for the government, then asked that Wax be brought in. He entered the court room tauntily and came to military halt in front of Mrs. Den ham. He bowed profoundly and smiled at her. Mrs. Denham returned the smile.
 sIs this man a 1odger whom you know as "Oliver Osborne" and as Charles Bacon? asked MT. Rand.
 Tt is,'' replied Mrs, Denham, em- phatically.
 the court room with an attendant. As he did so he glanced back over his shoulder at Miss Tanzer, who sat in- side the railing at the table by the side of. her counsel Lewis Stuyvesant Cha ndler.
 F There was a good deal of objecting to Mrs. Denham's testimony and the questions asked her by both sides, but Judge Van Fleet smoothed out the difficulties and hastened the progress of the trial
 Miss Tanzer today gave Wax a smile for the first time since he has figured in her trial and that of Frank lin D. Stafford, the clerk of the Ken sington Hotel who was found guilty of perjury in swearing. that James w. Osborne was the man with Miss Tan ger at the hotel in the autumn of 1914. Wax had Just been identified as the man with Miss Tanzer by, the proprietor of the Kensington Hotel and was leaving the court room. He gave Miss Tanzer a broad smile as he passed her, and kept looking back at her over his shoulder. At the door he smiled again and gave her a per ceptfble wink. Miss Tanzer respond ed with smile,
 Hitherto Rae has had only looks of anger and tears of rage for, Wax.
 The first witness called was Will liam, =. Kitchen, formerly proprietor of the Kensington Hotel. He was questioned by Samuel Hershenstein, Special Assistant District Attorney aiding William Rand. Jr., in prose- cutting the case and went over the same testimony that he gave at the trial of Stafford.
 He said the man who registered with the defendant as "Oliver Os- borne" and wife said .nat he had been transferred from the customs service in San Francisco to New York and was looking for site for a home. Plainfield had been recommended to AlIu. I1c IcS1SlcTcu dL the uOC0l so his wife could rest, the witness said "Oliver Osborne declared.
 MT. Kitchin was asked if he would know "Oliver Osborne if he were to see him again.
 ''Why certainly" replied the wit ness.
 Wax was then called into the court room from the antechamber where the witnesses are kept until they are wanted. He walked in jauntily with a military swing, looking a little stouter and a little sleeker than for merly and took up a position near the jury box
 Have you, ever seen that man be- fore ?' MT. Kitchin was asked.
 'fYes, that Is Oliver Osborne, the man who was at my hotel with the defendant, who, he said, was his wife,
 Wax was then ordered to face the jurors after which he was ordered back to the ante-chamber It was while he was leaving the railroad en- closure that he first looked at Miss Tanzer with his perpetual broad smile. He kept looking back over his shoul- der at her as he went to the rear of the room. He smiled broadly just be- IoIe ne leIt the room and Winked. Miss Tanzer returned the smile.
 MT. Chandler was unable to shake MT. Ktchin's testimony, and Frank Lapp, handy man about the hotel at the time was called to the stand. He was unable positively to identify Wax as the man who was at the hotel with Miss Tanzer. James w. Osborne was then called into the room, and Lapp was positive that James w. Osborne was not the man who registered at the hotel with Miss Tanzer.
 MT. Chandler waxed indignant when he saw Wax at the door of the ante chamber, mingling with the crowd of spectators and listening to the testi- mony. He called Judge Van Fleets attention to Wax's presence and the Judge ordered that he be excluded from the room until called for. Wax was allowed quite a little liberty though, in the custody of a Deputy Sheriff.
 Detective Sergeant James F. Duff fy, of Chicago, who arrested Wax and brought him here, was in the court room. As Wax left the room. after MT. Kitchfn had identified him as Oliver Osborne" and had smiled at Miss Tanzer, he gave Duffy a smile and wink.
 That fellow Oliver is some bow" said the detective as Wax made his exit after winktng at Miss Tanzer.
 THEY COULD BIULD FORTS.
