Ann s Case
May Reach
Jury Today
Opposing Counsel Battle
Bitterly as Hardinge
Is ASSaiIed.
BIZ United Press

bH q Htttu FT6SS
CHICAGO, July 6.-Ann Livines-
ton, who was Wooed but not we'd by
Franklin S. Hardinge, millionaire
manufacturer, probably will know
before nightfall to what extent, in
dollars, the jury in her $250,000
breach Of promise suit, believes that
she is a poor but good little work
ing girl" and not gold digger" as
her elderly adnirer contends.
The extended legal battle between
attorneys for the pretty young
plaintiff, formerly Tulsa stenog-
rapher, and the 62-year-old oil
burner manufacturer, has lasted for
two weeks during which the mobs
Of spectators necesSitated employ
ment Of extra court attaches to
maintain order.
Both Sides Rest
Both sides rested late Friday after
the defense had introduced several
new surprise" witnesses in an at
tempt to prove their contention that
it was Hardinge's money and not his
love that she sought.
The much discussed pre-nuptial
contracts, which broke up the Hard
inge-L Livingston romance two days
before the date set for the marriage,
were forgotten in the closing days
of the trial
Interest shifted to the testimony
of defense witnesses concerning
AIMS past and alleged misconduct
with earlier loves.
One of the last witnesses for
Hardinge was Mrs. James Boyer,
formerly AIMS landlady in Tulsa,
who testified that Ann had con-
fded her intentions of marrying
Hardinge, divorcing him and get
ting his money"
Hardinge Is AssaiIed
Mrs. Boyer was preceded on the
stand by William E. Logan, st.
Louis, who said he also knew Ann
when she lived in Tulsa. He de-
scribed her an unscrupulous young
woman who always was seeking
some rich man from whom she
might obtain money.
Opposing counsel fought bitterly
and when AIMS attorney, Benjamin
H. Ehrlich, entered his closing argu-
ment he stopped at nothing in his
attack on Hardinge's character. He
defended Ann as "friendless, for
saken girl" charged the manufac-
turer was "perjurer" and grasp
ing old playboy."
Ann Livingston has been a
drudge and a worker all her life"
the plaintiff attorney continued.

lively small crowds, but news ti40t

Baxter, track manager: Ralph p.
Lands of Cincinnati, treasurer OF
the club, and attorneys T. j. MOL
and Earl r. Cox that the invest
ment" system is not gambling uIis
der Indiana law.
The patrons place anything fron4
81 up in envelopes and pass them
through the betting windows as In"
vestments" upon the dogs for the
period Of the race only.
If the particular dog named IN
the investment" envelope wins, all
those who invested" share in the
purse, which happens to be the fetal
of the amount invested" on all
the dogs in that race.
The prosecutor contends that th.S
differs from the regular system of
betting at all big horse and deg
race tracks only in name.
Numerous henchmen and precinct
committeeman Of George v. Conn,
Republican city chairman, were in
the crowd which milled about the
betting windows Friday night.
Coroner Invests" on Deg

Following the race the coroner
stepped up to the brokerage once
window and received So, giving aim

Gardner, who has served eight
years of a 75-year term. is declared
to be the most dangerous convict in
the pen" Officials at the prison
decided to bring him here when they
were unable to break his hunger
strike. Accordingly they handcuffed
him and pl1ced adequate leg irons
on him and under ths charge of four
heavily armed guards he was trans
ported to this city.
Whether Gardner will remain at
Howard Hall or not depends on his
conduct here. physicians said.
DR.. John T.. Lind. of the hospital
staff. ordered that the cuffs be re-
moved from Gardner when he ar
rived at Howard Hall and he was
allowed to mingle with the other
prisoners. Freedom, however. Is as
FAR away as ever. Seven heavily
guarded doors must be passed
through. more than a score of alert
attendants eluded. and a three-story
wall scaled before the grounds of
the institution are reached. Then
1t would be necessary for the escaped
prisoner to elude the vigilance of the
numerous guards and attendants en-
ployed in the institution.
The hunger strike collapsed as
soon as the bandit arrived here. He
ate ravenously. Officials do not
think he will repeat it.

Representative Clarence j.
Mcleod of Michigan, sponsor
OF a strongly favored House
bill to compel District motor
lists to carry liability insurance,
will draft an amendment
especially applicable to taxi
cabs, busses and other auto
motive common carriers, it was
learned today.
Mcleod has not yet returned to
Washington, but 1t was stated at
his office today that provision re.
quiring all taxicabs to show
financial responsibility before being
licensed in the District has his
hearty approval.
Immediately upon his return to
the city, it was said, Mcleod will
ask District legal authorities for a
ruling on the power of the Public
Utilities Commission to require taxi
cab owners to show bond before re-
ceiving licenses. A recent court
ruling. threw cloud over this func.
tion Of the commission, and opened
grave doubts as to the extent of the
commissions powers.
1t was also stated in McLeod's
behalf that he will open hearings
on the bill as soon as the judiciary
subcommittee Of the House District
Committee is organized. There are
indications that reorganization Of
the House committees may be
undertaken during a possible lull in
the House program during the spe-
cial session, which would permit
hearings to begin before December.
