DIDN'T RAISE HE'LL,
SAYS MRS. WARNER

NEW YORK. Dec. T-One OF the
facts brought out at the trial in the
Supreme Court, Mineola, of the di-
vorce suit of Charles b. Warner
against his wife, Louise. was that
she had anticipated nationwide pro
hibition a long time ago. She was
on the stand, denying at length that
her relations with Harry +. HOl-
brook, a Long Island City manufac-
turer. were anything but proper,
when one of the lawyers for her
husband read into the record a letter
she had written to him when he was
at a rest institution in Connecticut.
In the letter Mrs. Warner said that
in four months she had expended
SS16.S4 for various liquors and that
they were stored in the cellar of the
family home at Kensington l.. !.
Denied "RaIsIng HeIL-
She explained that she wanted to
have a good stock on hand when the
country went thirsty, and added:
My conscience is clean; / have dont
no wrong. Mr.. Holbrook has neve?
been otherwise than a gentleman TO
me. Our names have been linked to-
gether by malicious tongues, and you
listen TO lies, frame-up and gossip.
and in the face of that / am helpless" :"
In another part Of the letter she
said:
MY four children will never have
cause to be ashamed of me. / have
been out very little this summer, al
though reports are that l have been
raising hell"
Mrs. Warner, under direct examina-
tion by Max Steuer, explained that
she called Holbrook by his first name
because II was her custom to call all
Of her friends by first names. De-
spite testimony that she was caught
in a room with the correspondent at
the Goshen Inn by her fatherin-law,
she insisted she had never been un-
duly familiar with him.
She was utterly at ease when she
denied the testimony OF a porter at
the New Grand Hotel in the Catskills
that on another occasion HolbrooK
had clapped her on the back when she
was attired somewhat negligee. She
denied the correspondent ever had an
arm about her or had ever spent a
day in her room attired in his pa
jamaA
Never Wore That Kind.
There was some evidence about j
woman's combination suit once hav-
ing been found in a room occupied by
Holbrook. Mrs. Warner flushed per-
ceptibly when she said she never wore
garments OF that sort.
She also denied her father-in-law
gave her large amounts during her
husbands absence in the sanitarium,
saying that in the four months he was
away she had not received, at most,
more than $4,000.
A letter from Warner. written to
her three days after the Goshen raid,
was read. In ii he said he could for
get the past il she would cut out
''Holbrook and booze" She said she
replied to him that he was wrong
about Holbrook and that she was on
the water wagon.
She declared she had not called up
the correspondent often at his busi-
ness address. and when she was con-
fronted with 151 telephone slips for
the month OF August, she said she did
not remember. Cancelled checks
showed she paid as high as $12o for
dinners in Manhattan restaurants
which were attended by Holbrook.

The CONGREGATION OF the Sa

ginsvHle seems to have absorbed
so much of the essense of "kul-
lur" that the preaching of pure
and unauthorized LOYALTY to the
Stars and Stripes was so often
sive that they gave their pastor,
Rev. N. Rieger. the option of
regigning or being fired. Rev.
Rieger resigned.
The following item bearing on
the case is reprinted from the
Hipginsville .Jefersonian.
REV. N. Rieger, for sixteen
wears pastor of the Salem Evan
gelical Church in Higginsville
rendered his resignation at the
morning service Sunday, the
same to take effect in three
months. The divided feeling
which eliminated in his resigna-
ton first started eight year ago
when the American language
was introduced into the Sunday
School. Recent events have ag-
gravated the feeling. The fol-

Rev. Rieger to his congregation:

A[LEXPLOS|VES
WILL BE REMOVED
Assurances Again Given That
They Will Be Taken From
Morgan Plant

Rumors have been flying about
Perth Amboy and other communities
hereabouts during the last few days in
regard to just what was being done
about the promised removal of INT
and other high explosives stored at the
Gillespie shell loading plant at Nor
gan.
Some stories said the explosives
were not being removed at all and
others that orders for the removal had
been cancelled.
In conversation with E. A. Yates.
general superintendent of the Morgan
plant, he stated yesterday that he had
received q communication from the
supply division at Washington to the
effect that the war department was
making arrangements to remove all
explosive materials from the Morgan
plant and 1t will be done as soon as the
company can attend to II.
These explosives may not be taken
where 1t was originally stated, but the
assurance was given that 1t would be
removed far enough from this state to
allay all fears that a reoccurance of
the disaster of October 4 and 8 would
ever disturb this community.

RECORDER TRIES
VERY MIXED CASE
Man Accusing Another of En-
bezzIement is Himself Charg-
ed With Property Damage

A peculiar situation developed in
the recorders court at city hall this
morning when man who had COM
planned that another man had en-
bezzled $110 from him, was in turn
accused of breaking in the door of
the home of the accused man and held
in 5000 bail to await the action of q
civil court case which is to be started.
A few days ago Peter Coutoro OF
State street, appeared before Recorder
Pickersgill and asked for a warrant
for the arrest of Tony Bangs OF Di-
vision street, who, he said. had en-
bezzled S110 from him and he wanted
the man punished.
When the case came up before the
recorder this morning Bangs was rep
resented by Lawyer Andrew Wight,
OF the firm of Wight, Wight and Col
enbock and the lawyer stated that his
client had not embeZzled the money,
but had simply taken what belonged
to him and that this was no crime.
Coutoro stated that Bangs was an
employe OF his and that he had given
him money to buy goods with but he
had kept It, Bangs declared that he
worked for Coutoro who owed him the
money.
Lawyer Wight brought out the fact
that Coutoro had gone to Bangs
home and broken a door which was
against the law and that Bangs was
about to start a civil suit against Cou-
toro for $400. which he owed him. and
he asked that Coutoro be held in bail
for a hearing later on the charge OF
breaking down the door.
Bangs brought witnesses to prove
his story and the Recorder held Cou-
toro in bail for hearing to take place
after the civil suit has been settled
Bail was furnished
