Evidence Admitted in Hartje
Case Shows Husband
in Bad Light.
BLACKMAIL PAID NEGRO
Friend of Hartje Tells How Deposi
tion Was Obtained From Coach
man Accused of Perjury.
Hartje's Shady Actions.
PITTSBURG, July 19. Following a sen
sational attack on the character of Au
gustus Haftje, In which it was alleged
that he had taken two different women
frequently to a questionable resort, the
real sensation of the day in the Hartje
divorce trial culminated this afternoon
when Judge Robert S. Frazer admitted,
under bitter protest of opposing counsel,
testimony relating to the charges of con
spiracy against John L. Welshons, a
prominent merchant; Augustus Hartje,
the libellant, and Clifford Hooe, the negro
coachman now In Jail on perjury charges
for alleged false swearing in the case.
Paid Blackmail to Negro.
Welshons, who was called by Mrs.
Hartje's counsel, told a clear story of
how the deposition was secured from
Hooe. He said that Hooe then left the
city, and the witness told of having given
him various small mm of money at differ
ent times. This looked like blackmail,
the witness said. He might have told
Hooe that he would be sent to the peni
tentiary for perjury if he did not stick
to his original story. Welshons' story, it
is said, coincides very closely with the
statement of Hooe 2 elating to the case,
which is in the possession of the District
Attorney.
This was the first attempt during the
trial to present evidence of an alleged
conspiracy which, Mrs. Hartje's counsel
declare, was formed to defame her. Wel
shons is a close friend of Augustus Hartje
and is accused with Hartje and Hooe of
conspiring against Mrs. Hartje. Hooe
months ago made a deposition in which
he said he had been Intimate with Mrs.
Hartje. He afterwards repudiated it and
is now in jail on a charge of perjury.
Tampering With Witnesses.
Welshons maintained steadily that Au
gustus Hartje knew nothing of the fact
that he had given Hooe money and ad
mitted that Hartje's attorneys had told
Hooe that if he was not telling the truth
they would prosecute him.
J. Scott Ferguson, attorney for Mr.
Hartje, said he had a letter showing
that the defense had taken the deposition
of a witness knowing that his testimony
was false and that he also would show
that an attempt had been made to tamper
with witnesses.
Mrs. Hartje's counsel opened up a new
line in the defense by presenting evidence
to show that Hartje had visited a dis
orderly, house and met an immoral woman
there. A servant from the house is to 60
testify, and Madine, the coachman, is to
corroborate the testimony.
Hartje Is No Innocent.
More testimony on handwriting was also
taken during the day when Samuel C.
Malone, an expert of Baltimore, was
called for Mrs. Hartje. He testified along
the same lines as those on that side
which had preceded him, but went a
little farther by declaring that character
istics of certain letter formation in some
of the exhibits showed that there had
been "an attempt to put someone off the
track" Malone also said that in his
opinion the pieces of the mutilated letter
which form exhibit No. 35 had been
pasted on cardboard before they had been
written.
Mrs. Gerone Bechtold testified that
Hartje had visited a questionable resort
where she was chambermaid with a wo
man. She said that Hartje visited the
resort twice a week in company with an
auburn-haired woman.

until such time as President Gatch him
self sees fit to take the Initiative.
Many of the members are loth to have
him go from the presidency, but all rec

Institution during his nine years of ad
ministration from an attendance of 317.
when he began in 1897, to 736 this year,
and in the broadening of its usefulness

position of leading importance among the

from the position of executive.
