.DUJAT CONVICTED,
NOW FACES PERJURY
Jury Returns Quick Verdict
Finding Clerk Guilty
Of Bigamy.

Alexander Dujat OF Corona. County
Clerk of Queens. yesterday was found
guilty OF bigainy by jury in the
Queens County Supreme Court before
Justice Cropsey. He was remanded for
sentence until Friday, November 8. His
counsel, Abe Levy said 1t was probable
an appeal would be taken. Such a move
would postpone the execution of SEN
tence and would prevent removal OF
Dujat from office before the end of his
term, January ].
Dujats troubles came fast yesterday.
The Jury that was to decide the blgamy
case had just left the court room when
Justice Cropsey directed that Dujat be
brought before him. He was then ar
raignei upon an indictment charging
perjury The Queens Grand Jury handed
UP this Indictment secretly last Monday,
and District Attorney O'I4eary said last
night that II had been withheld by Jus
tice Cropeey until the end OF Dujat's
trial on the bigamy charge SO as not TO
pre- judice the verdict in that case.
Dujat pleaded not guilty to the perjury
charge and Justice Cropsey fiSed bail at
$4,000. but said that he would not ac-
cept bondsman until the verdict was
rendered In the bigamy case.
More Matrimonial Trouble.
This last charge grew out of DuJat's
matrimonial ventures. The alleged per-
jury was connected with his obtaining n
| license to wed Mics Edna Young of Co.
| roma in June, 1917. at which time he
| made an affidavit that he had never
| been married before and that he had no
wife living.
The Jury that found the verdict against
Dujat deliberated less than two hours
When the verdict was returned both OF
the women whom Dujat had married
were in the courtroom. Mrs. Matilda
Veronica Dujat. whom he married In
1905, was with her brother, James b.
Wilson Of Forty-third street, Brooklyn
and Mrs. Edna Young DuJat. whom he
married In 1917. was with her father
Both women refused to comment upon
the verdict. Mrs. Edna Dujat later met
the prisoner In the private office OF
Sheriff Samuel Mitchell and had a tail,
with him before he was taken to Jail.
| DuJat showed no signs of emotion.
Defence by DuJat.
Dujats defence TO the charge OF
Ibigamy was that he had a common law
wife at the time he married Miss Clifford
in 1906, and hence that was a bigamou,
marriage, and that he had maVied hel
simply to give the child born to her ou
OF wedlock name. Justice Cropse,
riddled this defence In his charge to tn,
jury when he declared:
"There y no such thing as a wife II
name only. When man marries h,
marrles and he assumes all the obliga
tons OF marriage no matter what hi
intentions were. II this man married
Miss clifford at that time and he wal
in q position to do so 1t did not max,
Iany difference what he intended"
Assistant District Attorney Ha zletoI
In addressing the Jury declared tina
Dujat was member OF the powerful
political group now controlling Queens
and that all the power Of these men hal
-Peen brought out to help him.

HOUSES IN TWO TOWNS
Liquor Is Delivered at Back Door.
But Front Is Dry.

~1S
A question that Solomon In all his
glory never had to decide IL now
puzzling the brain of Chief E. w.
Ferguson of the Santa Monica (Cal.)
police department. Is the delivery or
liquor at the Venice back door of a
house whose front door is In Santa
Monica a delivery of liquor In the
latter city? Is the problem that stumps
the chief.
The houses that face on the south
side of Marine street are bisected by
the line that marks the city limits OF
Santa Monica and Venice. Recently
dealers have been delivering certain
cases and packages at back doors OF
these houses hat II delivered at the
front doors in 'bone dry" Santa Mon
lea would subject the delivery men to
arrest.
This matter stumps me-" said the
chief. "We cannot arrest them for
delivering the liquor In Venice and
1t Is hardly a violation OF the ordi-
nances against delivering liquor to
homes in Santa Monica to move II
from one part Of the house to an
other"

THIS IS THE TRUE
RED CROSS SPIRIT
A Little Story With q Big
Thought in Il.

A month ago the Red Cross chapter
In Bay City. Mich.s received a hurry
up call for $50 dunnage bags. Troops
were about to move, and through an
oversight their equipment was not
complete. The bags had to be made
and sent within 4S hours. A request
for help was sent over the town, and
the stores were searched successfully
for the right materials. Among those
who quickly responded and came to
the chapter workrooms to help were
two little girls, sisters, about ten and
twelve years of age, each eager to lend
a hand and do something for the boys
who were going to the front. All day
long the fingers of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying. Bag
after bag received the last stitch un-
til scores were piled up ready for
shipment. Closing time came, and the
woman experimenting the making of
the bags counted those completed and
announced that IL every n of the
workers could come early the next
morning and work all day the bags
would surely be finished in time for
shipping by evening. Two c~restfallen
little girls. the little sisters, were wait
ing for her at the door as The de-
parted.
Red Cross Dunnase Bags.
"We are awfully sorry, ma'sm." said
the older of the two, but we can't
come back tomorrow. You see tomor-
row we have to" And, without I'm
ishing the sentence, she looked back
wistfully at the pile of bags.
1T Is toe bad you can't come back"
said the superintendent, "but / want
to thank you, and We all thank you,
for the work you've done today. You
two have teen q wonderful help, and
that pile Of bags wouldn't be nearly SO
big IL you hadn't been here. Good
night"
The next morning when the super.
intendent came down to unlock the
workrooms for the day she was aston
ished to see the tive little girls stand
ing In the cold by the locked door.
"Oh, I'm 30 glad to see you !" she
said. Il thought you said you couldn't
comet"
~Oh. we knew those Red Cross bags
Just had to be finished for the sol
disrs," exclaimed the little one, with
glistening eyes, "and we got up at
three o'clock this morning and got the
washing done early"

ing, and involving the giving up OF
treasured heirlooms.
Mrs. Ella J. Harvey, Minooka, H.,
has given an antique lamp which was
found In a tomb In Or Of the Chaldees,
the Mesopotamian city from which
Abraham journeyed to the promised
land. The lamp was brought to this
country and given to Mrs. Harvey's
mother by a niece who had been a
missionary to Turkey.
The lamp is of pottery and about
three and one half inches long. resem-
bling the lamps told about In the story
of the foolish virgins. 1t evidently Is
several thousand years old. Mrs. Har-
vey sent II Il Central Division head
quarters to be sold and the proceeds
used by the Red Cross.
The second gift is a Mormon coin.
Issued In 1849 and said to be n OF
only two now in existence or circula-
ton. Mr.. w. p. Davis, Of Switzerland.
Ia, sent II with a similar request that
1t be sold and the proceeds go into the
Red Cross treasury. At one time a
coin collector offered $500 for this
Mormon coin, which is a ten dollar
piece. II was minted in Salt Lake City
and was obtained In 1850 by Capt.
John A. Head, who carried IL for 30
years and then gave 1t to Mr.. Davis.
The lamp and the coin will be sent
where they will find the highest bid
der and the fine spirit of the donors
will be duly acknowledged.
