HIRSCEI STAYS
ACCUSED Wife
ATLANTA INSURANCE MAN WILL
TRY TO INDICATE HER ON
TRIAL.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb 1S.-H II. Hirsch
the husband of the woman accused of
trying to extort 100000 from Mayor
Asa G. Gambler on a blackmail threat
arrived in Atlanta yesterday morning
from Pittsburgh, where he was attend
ing a convention Of Representatives of
his insurance company when she was
arrested
Although he declined positively TO
discuss the case, it was INDICATED by
his comments to friends who met him
at the station that he will stand by his
wife, to whom he seems to be very de
voted. He spoke feelingly of the af-
lection she has always showed him
and expressed concern over the fact
that she was held in jail so soon after
recent operation which kept her in
hospital for many weeks.
An attorney retained by ]. w. Cook,
the man accused OF conspiracy with
Mrs. Hirsch in the blackmail attempt,
has given out a statement saying the
first suggestion of money was made by
Forrest Adair, who acted as the agent
for Mayor Gambler in the negotiations
| leading up to grand jury indictments
| against Mrs. Hirsch and Cook The
attorneys statement indicates that he
will represent both Mrs. Hirsch and
Cook in the trial of the case. He
claims that Mr.. Adair proposed to pay
! Mrs. Hirsch $3.50 per month for life
provided she would write a letter to
her husband telling him she had been
untrue to him and was going away
where he could never find her, but
withholding the name of the man in
the case. The attorney claims that
Mrs. Hirsch refused to accept these
conditions and then informed Mr..
Adair that if she accepted any money
at all it must be given in lump sum,
so that her allowance could not be cut
off
The case will probably be brought to
trial this week. Mrs. Hirsch and
Cook will be prosecuted by Reuben R
Arnold, the famous Atlanta lawyer
who has been retained to assist the so
licitor Of Fulton superior court.

Hungar;ans Ring True.
From the phil.delph;. Public Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
Most people understand that the Bohemians in America, as well
as those of Austria Hungary, are bitterly opposed to the Austro-
Hungarian rulers and to the plans of the central empires. Ever since
the war broke out Bohemia has been practically in a state Of revolt
and is therefore under strict martial law. Bohemian patriots have
enlisted among the armies of the allies, and their leaders in neutral
countries have kept up N unccasing fight against Prussian and
Austrian autocracy. All this and more has been pretty generally
understood over here, but it is not so we'll known that the Hungarian
Americans are equally ni-Austrian and anti-German, and that large
bodies Of their brethren at home think the same way.
1t is inspiring, therefore, to read the resolution passed recently at
the convention of the Hungarian Americans in Cleveland. There was
no halfway Americanism about the action of the delegates, since in
addition to thanking the president for not regarding Hungarian resi-
dents a S Saien enemies: and declaring for a "free, independent,
democratic Hungary, on the principle proclaimed by Louis Kossuth,' -
the delegates resolved as follows:
That we reafnarm nd reitpate III unHfnching loyalty Il u
