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.

JURTNOT OBTAINED
Slow Progress Made in the
Thompson Murder Case.
SHERIFF. 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.

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
