GRAHAM-HUMES SUIT
IN HANDS OF JURY
Justice Hitz Completes Charge,
Complimenting Attorneys for
: Conduct of Case.

The f1ve-week trial of the 5000
alienation suit of Lieut.. Lorimer C.
Graham, U. S. N, against A. L. Humes,
wealthy lawyer of New York, ended
today, when Justice Hitz at 11.O5 am.
completed his charge to the jury. The
jury Immediately retired to consider
it's verdict.
The summing up took Justice Hitx
about thirty minutes. He compli-
mented counsel on the skill displayed
on both sides in presenting the evil
dence and in their arguments. He
warned the jurors not to be swayed
by prejudice or telling and not to
consider the validity of the Reno di-
vorce or what were the actual rela-
tions between Graham and Mrs. Glen
nan, whose name was SO often men,
toned in the case. The one question
for them to decide was whether
Humes knowingly and willingly
alfenated the affections of Graham's
Wife. He explained the law of aliena-
tion and showed how a woman's af-
fecttons might be transferred from
one person to another without the
fault or even the knowledge Of the
latter.
Attorneys Daniel Thew Wright and
Philip Ershler appeared for Graham,
while Humes was represented by At
torneys Wilton J. Lambert, Rudolph
H Yeatman and William e. Leahy.

Near East Worker Here to Ask
For Lift of Immigration Ban
Miss Jean Christie
VIII Return, to
Smyrna.
Says Turks Are No
Worse THAI,
Greeks.

Miss Jean Christie, the tiny, fragile
looking secretary Of the Y. w. c. A. in
Smyrna until the city was burned to
the ground, has just arrived in Wash
ington for few days visit before go
ing to her home at Springfield, Mass,
for a rest before returning to either
Athens or Smyrna to carry on with her
work. 1t is only at her family's in
sistent demand that she is remaining
In this country at all after having
made her report TO the national head
quarters of the association, for she
feels the need of immediate return to
continue her work in the near east.
THE conditions there are just as
bad as any reports could make them
out to be-in fact. even more So" said
Miss Christie this morning. but there
are many Inaccuracies and false re-
ports that will creep into the press.
For instance. Tourtan. the Armenian
archbishop. was not killed in the hor-
rible manner that was stated in the
papers. saw him alive and busy in
Athens just before l sailed for the
United States. The Greek archbishop.
however. was killed in a most horrible
manner. Not only the entire city of
Smyrna was burned to cinders but the
Greeks and Armenians. in their fren-
zied retreat before the Turks. burned
their own towns so to give their
enemy no supplies or plunder.
Two Sides to Question.
y was brought up on stories of the
Turkish atrocities. but when ac-
tually got over there and endured
what the people of Smyrna and those
other towns had to go through, I
realized that there were indeed two
sides to the question. and. while ! do
not for a moment condone the least
OF the Turkish ofyenses. l realized
that the Greeks and Armenians COM
mitted atrocities just as awful. Yet
when one knows thousands of those
Turkish. Greek and Armenian girls
and women as l know them. one for
gets their nationality and thinks only
of their need"
There were / 200 Creek and Arme
nian girls in Miss Christie's list for
the Y. w. c. A. in Smyrna before the
entire city vas burned, and the as
sociat!on's building with it-a tine
stone building that was the envy of
many other organizations in the town.
These girls all have been accounted
for by Miss Christie and her assist
ant. Miss Myrtle Nolan, who is stju

Miss Christie will remain IN this
city for a few more days and expects
to consult government officials on
