THE 'MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, DECE3IBER 13, 1906. 5 I DIVORCE CONTEST Bich Pittsburger's Charges Have No Weight With Judge. LETTERS NOT CONCLUSIVE Attacks on Wife's Reputation Fail to Ground Husband Will Fight to Knd Suit for Alimony Still Pending. PITTSBURG, Dec. 12. Juiipe Robert S. Krazer handed down his decision in the famous Hartje divorce case this after noon. The petition of Augustus Hartje, the millionaire paper manufacturer, for a divorce from his wife, Mre. Mary Scott Jlartje. whom he charged with intimacy with Thomas Madine, a former coach man, is inconclusive, the decision says, end in substantiation of this Inconclu hiveness Judge Frazer cites the following points: The servants stories of Mrs. Hartje's wrongdoing are quite different from those based on Mr. Hartje's petition. The story of Susie Wagner, a maid, was grossly ex flKgerated and built up: she was preju diced and under the influence of Hartje's family. Mrs. Hartje perhaps visited the liable too often, but her fondness for horses sufficiently explains what might be considered an indiscretion. Letters Prove Nothing. The letters introduced are open to sus picion and are conclusive of nothing. Ex ports' testimony 'is of little value. The sioalinfr of the naid letters from Madine's room, as testified to, shows those who produced them to -be lawbreakers. The preponderance of testimony shows the letters were not in Mrs. Hartje's hand writing, and at the trial Hartje abandoned all his etiarges except the one relating to Madine. The deolKion does not refer to the ques tion of alimony, but Mrs. Hartje has a motion In court for the granting of tem porary alimony, counsel feels and J30.000 expenses of trial. The two children. Mary Louise Hartje and John Scott Hartje, will remain with their mother. The entire cost of the proceedings is placed on Mr. Hartje and the suit for divorce tiled by his wife will be tried when it is reached in the regular order. Hartje announced he would take an 84 peal. Moht Sensational in City. The divorce case was the most sensa tional ever tried in this city. The wealth and prominence of the principals and the ugly charges alleged, and. later, after, the trial had begun, additional charges asainst Mrs. Hartje in connection With a Ffeond coachman, Clifford Hooc, a negro, tended to make the case sensational in the extreme. Following the introduction of the Hooe Incident. Mr. Hartje and a business friend. John 3, "Welshons, to gether with Clifford Hooe, the negro, were all arrested on charges of conspiracy. Hooe was also charged with perjury, was convicted and is now awaiting a new trial. Mrs. Hartje, who has been In Redlands, Cal.. with her children, arrived home yes terday in answer to a. summons from her. attorneys, to whom Judge Frazer intimat ed that a decision could not be rendered unless the woman and her children were within the jurisdiction of the court. Mrs. Hnrtje was not able to be in coi'rt today, on account of illness. Her Mother, Mrs. Scott, denied the report tnat Mrs. Hartje would take up her residence in California per manently after the close of the divorce proceedings. Mary has no intention of leaving Pittsburg." she said. "Of course, fne notoriety is disagreeable, but she has many true friends here, and has not Buffered from the sensational charges." "I am greatly surprised and disappoint ed." said Augustus Hartje this afternoon, 'out we will fight the case through every court we can, believing that we are right." He added that an appeal would be taken at once. "I am very well pleased with the de cision of the court," said Mrs. Hartje, "and I consider the decision a vindication for me." She refused to have anything to say relative to pressing her claim for divorce, and would not talk about the disposition of the children.

FILES RETURN Of Thirty-nine Veniremen Brought Into Court for Service Ten Are Excused Many Plead Old , Age and Illness. TACOMA. Wash., Dec. 12. (Special.) Deputy Sheriff Keener at 5 o'clock this afternoon made his return of service on the 60 veniremen drawn Tuesday after noon for examination as to their qualifi cations to sit as jurors in the trial of Chester Thompson, charged with murder in the first degree. Thirty-nine men were in court and the Sheriff stated that 11 had not been found. An effort was made by counsel for the state to bave the inquiry proceed, entail ing a night session. Judge gnell stated that he did not favor night sessions at this time, and ordered all veniremen to appear in court at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Ten were excused, leaving 29, and proba bly there are some more who will be ex cused. One of. these is George 3. Long, resident agent of the Weyerhaeuser Tim ber Company. Mr. Long's son is very ill with typhoid fever, and the strain of nursing has told on the strength of Mrs. Long to such an extent that Mr. Long must bear a part of the burden. When the Sheriff's return had been properly entered as a matter of record the court asked If there were any summoned who were not electors or who were non residents of Pierce County. There were none. i "I will state for the information of the veniremen," said Judge Snell, "that the law permits all over 60 years of age to claim exemption from Jury service." On this ground the following were ex cused: E. N. Curl, aged 73; W. J. Heath, aged 74; Karl Wassmund, aged 76; George Reynolds, aged 62; Joel Bever, aged 63; L. W. Wade, aged 62; S. D. Sherman, aged 74; James Hopper, aged 61. George Chapman, of Hunt's Prairie, sought to evade Jury service hjr teljtng the court that he only has his second papers of naturalization. "Do you vote in Hunt's Prairie pre cinct?" asked Judge Snell. "Yes, sir." "Then I'll not excuse you." Henry Meyer, of Tacoma, said he was suffering from nervous prosration and had been under the treatment of a physician for seven or. eight months. He was ex cused. C. ChristofTerson was permitted to go because of defective hearing and evident ill health. D. M. Booker, of Fox Island, asked to be excused because he is now moving from the island to Tacoma and his pres ence was necessary to superintend the re moval and proper disposition of his house hold effects. He was ordered to report tomorrow morning. After admonishing the veniremen not to discuss the case or permit it to be dis cussed in their presence, and not to read newspaper accounts bearing on the trial. Judge Snell excused them until tomorrow. Both the state and defense were fully represented by counsel, as it was expected that the court would proceed at once with the examination of veniremen. Will H. Thompson, father of the ac cused, was absent, but the prisoner had at his side his brothers, Maurice and Os car Thompson.

I if n:n nl iir"" HIS J. A. bill bo. Booksellers and Stationers, Third and Alder Streets. now confined in the County Jail on the charge of larceny, sprung the ' sen sation of the day in the trial of Sidney Sloane for the murder of his father. Sidney Sloane struck the blows that ended his father's life at 7 o'clock, was the hearsay evidence given by Chester field, who said le heard the story from the lips of Sloane himself in a dis cussion with a cell companion as they were lying in their bunks after the jail had been locked for the night. The state did not name in its in formation against the prisoner the time of the evening at which the crime was committed and little . evidence was taken to fix the hour, the time general ly being fixed at between 11 and 12, o'clock, after Sidney had returned from an evening at the theater. In -Ills first confession to T. H. Me Dermott and Chief of Police Waller, the boy told the latter story, and the case has been carried along with no other question as to the time of the deed but Sidney's statement. The tes timony of Chesterfield today has opened up an entirely new line. The remaining days of the argument may be taken up to prove or disprove Sidney's statement that he killed his father at 7 o'clock in the evening in stead of at about midnight.
