18 TTTK MORXIXG OREGOXIAX. WEDNESDAY, JAXUAHY 14, 1914. GERLINGER CASE IS IN HANDS OF JURY Wine of 12 Men Must Agree in $50,000 Breach-of-Prom-u ise Action. EX-HUSBAND BREAKS DOWN Ed ward Gerlinger Blames Frank for downfall or Divorced Wife, Who , Was "Sweetest Girl" Ever Vp to 1909, He Says. The luO.000 breach of promise suit of Mrs. Gertrude Gerlinger against Lloyd P'rank went to the Jury at 6:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At 11:30 o'clock last night, no ver dict having been reached, the jury was locked up for the night. It had been deliberating' six hours at that time. Nine of the 12 jurors must agree on any verdict. Judse'a Instructions Brief. Judge Davis' Instructions, which he began Immediately after Attorney Moulton for Mrs. Gerlinger had finished his closing argument, were brief. Only 20 minutes was required in their de livery. As the Jury filed out, passing through the Judge's chambers because of the packed condition of the court room, the crowd of curious spectators who thronged it, filling every seat, and lined up five and six deep along the rail, the back and sides of the room, began to leave. There were so many that It required nearly ten minutes to empty the room. A large proportion were women. They appeared satisfied to stand for hours in the most uncomfortable posi tions, Jammed in between men. Jostled and compelled to stand on tiptoe to see even the Judge on the bench, so long as they could hear the arguments of the attorneys. Their apparent de sire was gratified. .Mnnle Kile Pieceaitarf. So large was the attendance at the morning session that those seeking entrance in the afternoon were re quired to form a line in single file be fore the doors of the court .were opened. The line at one time extended the en tire length of the long corridor on the east side of the third floor of the Courthouse, approximately 150 feet. After the doors were closed by Joe Singer, special bailiff, many who could not gain admittance waited outside. Yesterday was the sixth day of the triaL It began last Tuesday, and with the exception of Saturday and Sunday lias been In progress every day since then. In that time 20 witnesses have been examined in behalf of the de fendant, Lloyd Frank, and four wit nesses have testified for Mrs. Ger linger. the plaintiff. Both Mr. Frank and Mrs. Gerlinger have, been on the stand.. The 12 jurors in the case, nine of whom must agree on any verdict, are: W. II. Addis. A. C. Matin. S. F. Park. W. a. Darling, J. M. Manning, R, A.! Ward, L B. Langley, W. II. Barber, W. L. Adams, B. Hanson, C. C. Vance and Frank Lange. Judge Davis, in his instructions, briefly reviewed for the jury the legal aspect of the case. He said In part: Did Minds Sleet Vital Question. "The sole question for you to de termine Is whether or not, during the month of January, this defendant and this plaintiff had an agreement to marry, and whether or not their minds met and they had a mutual understand ing to be man and wife within the year. If you find there was no such promise, then the case ends, and you must find for the defendant. "If you find that a promise was made, then you have the further ques tion to decide whether or not the de fendant broke that promise In March, us alleged In the complaint. If you find that he did not, then you must tind for the defendant. "If you find that he did, then you have the remaining: question, to assess the amount of damages. "The burden of proof in this case is on the plaintiff and the law requires her to prove her case by the prepon derance of evidence or by evidence that appears In your mind to be the more worthy of belief. If the evidence for or against her contention is of the same weisht, then you must find for the de fendant." Was Contract Made t Of efforts to Impeach the testimony ti M.rs. uteninger ne said: "Such evi dence Is not a defense, but is to be con sidered by you In determining whether or not a contract of marriage wa actually made. If you find after con Kideration of the evidence that she is entitled to recover, then you may take into consideration evidence reflecting on her character in mitigation of dam ages. l he court instructs you that the contract to marry may be proved either by positive or by circumstantial OIIUW1C5. nowever, unless you can nrst nnd from the evidence that the defendant actually promised to marrv the defendant and that she accepted his promise In earnest, then you must Hud me issue lor the defendant. The arguments of the attorneys were limited by Judge Davis to two hours lor each side. Arthur I. Moulton, at torney for Mrs. Gerlinger. took 50 min utes in his opening argument and mor9 than an hour to close. George Josenh nnd Charles H. Carey gave arguments in Denair or Mr. Frank. Mr. Joseph consumed an hour and three-quarters in his argument and af ter Mr. Carey had spoken for 15 min utes his time was extended another 15 minutes by the court, Mr. Moulton mak ing -no objection. Bitterness Is Apparent. Between Mr. Joseph and Mr. Moulton an intense bitterness was apparent. muun oi iae argument or each was taken up with, harsh criticism of the other. In his opening address Mr. Moultqn emphasized the bringing by the de fense of r elix Blackburn from Birmmg ham, Ala., to testify to Mrs. Gerlin Rer's former life there. Ho declared that the defense In nroducinsr Mr- Blackburn had evaded bringing trie real witness against Mrs. Gerlinger, Dr. Eu bank, whose alleged seduction of Mrs. Gerlinger when she was a young girl working in his office in .Birmingham has been an issue in the case, because they feared to have him face a cross examination In court. He asserted that the defense had been unable to prove that prior to meeting Mr. Frank In 1909. while she was still the husband of Edward Ger linger. Mrs. Gerlinger had committed any indiscretion. . "You have brought your lawyers here, you have brougot your array of detectives here, you have brought your Kroat wealth here," he said, "but you have not been able to prove by one word that before he met her in 1909 she had done one wrong act. Up to that time she had been living happily with her husband. Frank Gels Scoring;. "It standj oui aa clear; as anything could that Mr. Frank was going to fur nish her house for her and It Is shown by the testimony that he must have had one of two things in his mind; that he must have Intended to marry her or that he intended to lie to her and to ruin her very soul." Mr. Joseph In his reply devoted especial attention to the evidence of fered by the plaintiff to show that Mr. Frank had promised to marry her. "Oh, what a wonderful courtship this defendant had!" he cried. "What a grand courtship! "Did this defendant meet her .at church? Was she ever Introduced to him? No, she comes Into the store with some tags she wanted him to sell and wasn't It a peculiar Incident that she Immediately comes back? She doesn't even know his name at that time! She admits that in her own testimony. The courtship had begun! What a grand courtship!" He reviewed the testimony of Mr. Frank that after learning that Bhe was a married woman he had soon after ward stopped going to visit her and had not visited her for two years and eight months, up to 1912, when the af fair was renewed. "Did he give her a ring?" he ques tioned. "Did he give her a letter? Did he write to her when he was gone? Does that look like a courtship? Does it look like your courtship? Was there anything like a courtship except on her part, because she wanted to continue the relationship?" Date Not Remembered. Again, he said: "The complaint charges that they were engaged some time during: the month of January oh, she can't remember the exact date when they were engaged! "Were they sitting on some cliff at the time? Were they among the trees? Were they down at the brook as he told her he loved her when this en gagement took place? Oh, that is a time that is fixed In a weman's mind! We men forget those things, but our Wives in after years remember them and remind us of them. "Mr. Addis," addressing one of the Jurors, "your wife can tell you when you were engaged. She can tell you the date that you were married, and when your children were born. But this woman cannot remember anything like that. She cannot even remember the day when she was engaged!". Bible Is Quoted. In his argument Mr. Carey told the jury that It was not for them to de cide whether the defendant was to blame for Mrs. Gerlinger's life, but whether he promised to make her his lawful wife. He quoted in his argu ment from Proverbs, reading the chap ter on the temptress as compared to a virtuous woman. In his closing argument Mr. Moulton, too, made a Biblical allusion. He re lated the story of the creation, and In reply to the quotation from Proverbs, called up the answer of Adam, "The woman tempted me." "That old trait in Adam of laying his downfall to Eve," he said, "has come out and been developed. Some do not have it, but in others it is predominant. And we have them here who repeat the old saying of Adam: "She tempted me and I fell.' "Mrs. Gerlinger Is good enough for this defendant to associate with; she's good enough for him to call his Valen tine last February; she's good enough for him to give her a purse; she's good enough to give a bed to; but she isn't good enough for him to be seen In public with; and she isn't good enough to say that he broke his promise to marry her, without having It called blackmail!" Ex-Husband In Court. One of the last witnesses to be called in the case yesterday morning, com pleting the rebuttal testimony for Mrs. Gerlinger, was Edward Gerlinger, her former husband. He came to court with great reluctance, being brought In by the Sheriff on a bench warrant. When he took the stand he appeared composed, but he had answered only two or three qyestions when a query by Mr. Moulton that took his mind back to former days upset him com pletely. He suddenly put his hands over his face and wept, sobblngly, like a child. He testified calmly after he had re gained command of himself that up to the time he left Portland on a trip East in 1.109 his wife's conduct had been without reproach. "There never was a sweeter girl up to that time." he said. He testified that he associated the name of Mr. Frank with her downfall. Frank Gets Whole Blame. "You don't mean to leave the impres sion mat Mr. v ranit was tne only one to blame, do you?" questioned Mr. Carey, cn crass-examination. "I absolutely mean It," replied Mr. Gerlinger. He said, on further questioning, that he had heard other names mentioned. put mat ne Diamed Mr. Frank. Dr. Mary Equi was another witness for Mrs. Gerlirger.

More than three-fourths of the stock YVONNE DE TREVILLE AS NATURAL AS TALENTED Singer Who Appears at Lincoln High Tonight Has Beauty and Charms That Recall Tetrazzini's Vastly Different Ways. YVOMVK D13 TREVILLE, FAMOUS OPERA' SINGER, WHO IS IX . PORTLAND, BY LEONE CASS BAET. ECOTJXJJ-NT help contrasting the two visits for Interviews, the one I made to Lulsa Tetrazzinl on - her first . visit here,' and the one I was making yesterday afternoon on Yvonne de Treville, whose coloratura soprano has made the aforementioned plump one of vocal pyrotechnics turn pale with envy. Maybe it wasn't only the voice of the adorable Yvonne that caused the Jealousy; t might have been the vivacious beauty, the rare coloring; of eyes and hair and blos somy skin, or the tremendously good looking body of the little de Treville one. She is a titian edition of Fritzi Scheff, with the hospitality of the South from which she halls, and the executive mind of a great man of affairs. Which again recalls what I started out to talk about the contrast of interviewing her and Luisa. First I had to see the hotel man ager of the hotel where I.uisa lived. He. brought me to. her manager, who., of the United States National, which is held by investors in various parts of the country, was represented at yes terday's meeting.

Holbrooic, the directors of the Lumbermens Trust & Savings Bank are the same as those of the National bank.. In voting to increase the capitaliza tion directors of the Scandinavian American formally ratified action for which the directors had provided when the bank absorbed the Commerce Trust & Savings Bank a few months ago. Plans for the building to be erected at the northeast corner of Fifth and Morrison streets were discussed in formally, but as existing leases on the present building have about 18 months yet to run, no definite steps were taken. C. F. Hendrlcksen. Will Wright, M. G. Thorsen, C. O. Steberg, Anthon Eckern and Knute Ekman were elected direc tors. The Multnomah State Bank at Lents, which Is controlled by officers- of the Scandinavian-American, reported a prosperous condition, voted a 10 per cent dividend on its capitalization of $15,000 and set aside 10 per cent for surplus.

Then In state we three sat along with Madame's private secretary, who came in later, and awaited the signal of Madame's com ing.' Soon a white-capped, frowsy maid slid open the wide doors, another maid added a swift pat to Madame's train to make it sweep out regally, and In came Luisa Tetrazzini; bowing and. as always, playing to the gallery, even though the gallery was only her man ager, her secretary, her husband and me. I asked questions and husband, secretary or manager answered, occa sionally conferring with Madame, who creaked in her tight purple satin and smiled constantly, while her gem splashed fingers waved. Consider then the red tape Involved in meeting this fascinating little prima donna, Yvonne de Treville, whose op eratic triumphs read like fairy prin cess' luck and the list of opera-houses in which she has sung sound like a gopgrauhlsal study, of all jho. important Tha New Corset for Fat Woman The nevr corset deslened to coerca oveTV fat ladies Into the new style gowns has three sets of strings. when you have one set adjusted you still have two more struggles left.

She had been out for a motor ride- and slipped quietly into the hotel just as I had stepped to the desk to ask for her. She heard her name called, turned and came over. all smiling, wind-blown, like a big sweet rose, and shook hands like a man. Then we went upstairs to her room, she gave me her own big mussed- up, paper-littered desk to use and or dered up tea, while we sat like comfy tabby cats and purrea and prattled. The first amazing thins to learn about Yvonne de Treville, Mademoi selle, too, if you please, because she says she has always been too busy to wed, 13 that she is her own advance agent, manager with the company. publicity "man," and the company, too. Last August, you may remember, she toured the Pacific Coast, arranging her bookings. Now she comes along and fulfills the engagements. She reminds me of a woman I know who has a gorgeous dinner ring, and who is so domestic she loves to do her own work. So she goes Into the kitch en, prepares the best meats you can imagine and then puts on her million- dollar ring and eats what she's cooked. Singer Is Energetic. Mile, de Treville Is in the commis sariat and on the firing-line as well. She is tremendously energetic, and there is none of the traditional affecta tions of famous singers about her. She has no fad,a, she lives normally, has a lot of fun In life and Is busy every blessed minute. Her great joy is doing for others and her great ambition is some day to give all her time and the proceeds of her lite work to helping foster art. She believes that a talent is a gift in trust, to be accounted for. Not alone musical art. In which she Is naturally most interested, but In cul tivating a love for literature, the drama, pictures, anything that will make life more lovely for us all. . Unusual Position Filled. She is the first and only prima donna manageress, and she says she does it to jump the "five middlemen" con cerned in booking a tour of this Coast. The plan has advantages. One Is that If the manager of the company or the publicity man or the booking agent has a misunderstanding with the prima donna no one can possibly be hurt or lose their position. Because made moiselle cannot fire herself. Besides which she loves her work. "It brings me in touch with people who are doing things," she said. "Whether it be kings or peasants, I like to study people." And though she spoke quite simply, Mile. Yvonne Knew whereof she spoke. for she has hobnobbed with royalty on a mighty nice social basis. One of her dearest possessions is a jeweled deco ration of the golden order of "Beneme rito," bestowed upon her by H. M., King uaroi or Koumania. It is Mile, de Treville's opinion that the American public is "queer." "It seems to me that the thing that draws Is advertisement of the personality of the artist, not the artist. It Is a sort of morbid curiosity. . . .. People run to a cafeteria system of culture. . . . They want everything quick. gobbled In a hurry, and away they run to something else. . . The imaglna tion in America sadly needs cultivating and we cannot do it as long as we gal lop so furiously." Singer Appears Tonight. Today Mile, de Treville is doing something that men say no woman can do, that is, she Isn't saying a word. For tonight the great big lovely voice will be heard at the Lincoln High School auditorium und,er the auspices of. the Portland Musical Association. So to day the voice is resting. After her en gagement here the singer goes on to her California concerts. She is accom panied on the piano and on the tour by a charming woman friend. Mrs. W. C. Whiffen, whose husband is the repre sentative of the Associated Press in Mexico City. "After California we' go to Honolulu,' she cried happily. . "Will you like that?" I queried. "Yes, If the Pacific Is only pacific," she answered making a mournful face. "I'm the very worst sailor In all the world. PERSONAL MENTION. L. C. Wallin, of Marshneld, Is at the Carlton. H. B.
