T BY GENEVIEVE FORBES. m-v rhicnpn Trlhuna Leased Wire. 1 SOUTH BEND. Ind., Sept. 20. John P. Tiernan. husband with a husband's primitive emotions, tri umphed today over John P. Tiernan, professor of law with a professor's academic theories. Not as a legal expert, but as the husband of a self-confessed un faithful wife, Mr. Tiernan late this afternoon told the court how he had charged Harry Poulin with the pa ternity of his wife's third child the day- aft -r Mrs. Tiernan had con fessed to him and how Poulin had acknowledged his fatherhood, but he g iced for 24 hours in which to ar range a financial settlement. With an agony of face and voice and body more convincing than his entire law library Professor Tiernan hissed out the sentences describing that meeting in front of the post office at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of Jannr.ry 9, 1922. Poulin Offers Friendship. "I said, "Harry, Gus has told me everything.' And he said, 'Yes, it's all true, but let's be friends, John, and I said, 'No, we'll always be bit ter enemies.'" Mr. Tiernan gulped as If chok ing as he continued. "Mr. Poulin wanted to know now much I would settle for and I said it would be somvrhere in the neigh borhood of $200. but Mrs. Tiernan would have to decide as she knew more about the bills for the birth of the child." "What did Mr. Poulin say then?" asked Prosecutor jellison. "He said. 'Give me 24 hours to think it over,' and he" agreed to meet me at the same time and the same place the next day," said the professor. Almost as dramatic as the story of Poulin s admission of the pater nity of Mrs. Tiernan's child was E'rofessor Tiernan's testimony re garding the time he informed Harry Poulin that "We have a baby." It was November 29, 1921, the day after the birth of the child, that Mrs. Tiernan was subsequently to name William John after himself and his favorite brother. Reputed Betrayer Hingi Head. "I was just going to board a street car when I met Mr. Poulin going home to lunch. I called to him, 'We have a baby.' He said excitedly. 'Is t a boy or girl?" I said. 'It's a boy.' He hung his head and walked away. He made no remarks." Across the room Harry Poulin lung his head and made remarks to his attorneys. Didn't he congratulate your the witness was asked. No; he did not." was the reolv. Earlier in the afternonn Prnfnnr Triernan recounted the series of lit le things, unnoticed at the time f their specific happening:, which ra now recalled to emphasize the friendly relations" between Mrs. lernan and Poulin. But the pro essor intent on academic duties and he preparation of a legal treatise, id not read the handwriting that rimiuve passion was writlne on ne wall. He realized that his wife danced with Poulin four times to every me sne aancea with her husband. iut he said with pathetic naivete always had the first dance with er. Tiernan had not altogether blot ed from memory, however, the ecollection of a bathing party at tsarron lake In August, 1921. Poulin Kisr All "Ladle.." e received nis invitation in- irectly" as a triple play. from Mr. oulin to Mrs. Tiernan to himself. he party left at 1 in the after- oon, but he had official business to ransact,at the university. He ate upper at home and hurried out to he lake just in time to find Poulin cting as chef, assisted by the pro- essor's wife. And at the conclusion the meal, said Mr. Tiernan, "Mr. oulin walked around the table and issed all the ladies." "Everyone present, including Mrs. iernan?" the professor was asked. "Yes, sir," he declared. The morning session ended in an vective launched by the attorneys tne defense against Prosecutor ellison who listened to their de- unciation of his methods of trying get the court to admit the testi- ony of Professor Tiernan regard- g his intimate relations with his fe. But when tl defense made se of the opportunity to imply that ellison had objected to trving the ase before Judge Ducomb, the pros- utor was unable to restrain him lf. For five minutes cold law fur- shed more thrills than the hot asslon of illicit love. The ludtre nally adjourned court, after ad- onishing the attorneys to "settle in the alley, not in the court- om. When the hearing continued thin fternoon Judge Ducomb ruled that nusband is not competent in a Da- rnity suit, to testify regarding his arltal relations with his wife. jr-...-. :::;:-:: ;: Copyright by Underwood & Underwood.

The senate vote today compared with 47 to 22, by which the measure was first passed on August 31. Most of the house votes to sus tain the president were cast by members- from eastern and southern states, with western delegations voting almost solidly for the bill, There were two changes in the senate, Senator Cameron, repnb lican, Arizona, who voted for . the bonus originally, voting to sustain the veto, while Senator McKlnley, republican, Illinois, who it was an nounced as favorable to the bill on the first vote, was paired against it. There was only brief considera tion of the measure in the house. In calling up the bill, Mr. Mondell said it had been considered for a long time and that further debate was not likely to change a single vote and was unnecessary. Mr. Gar rett asked that there be an hour's discussion, but after cries of "vote' from the republican side, the ma Jority leader moved the previous question and the rollcall was or dered. Vote Received In Silence. Announcement of the result of the voting was received In silence by both the membership and the fairly well filled galleries. The same was true in the senate.

The snares spread by the prose cutlng and detective staffs of two counties five days ago for the per son or persons responsible for the double shooting of Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, rector of the Prot estant Episcopal church of St. John the Evangelist, and Mrs. James Mills, choir singer in the church, were closing in tonight, the police said, on a single suspect. "We will not be rushed in this case." said Prosecutor Strieker of Middlesex county. "To make an arrest now would be to open the way for habeas corpus proceedings which would force us to disclose the lines along which we have been working." - Detective Totten and members of he . prosecutor's staff of Somerset Questioned every member of the family at the Hall home. Totten carried with him the revolver found yesterday, which was believed to be the weapon with which the clergy man and Mrs. Mills were killed. The detective quoted Willie Stevens as denying that the gun was his, while at the same time reiterating that he had a pistol. Detective Totten said that he asked Willie Stevens, who Is a town character, to repeat again his ac count of what he did on last Thurs day night, the assumed time of the double shooting. Mrs. Hall had told the police early In the investigation that her brother accompanied her when she went out to the church about midnight Thursday in quest of her husband. While declining at forst to speak In corroboration of his sister's story, Willie was re ported to have said later in a con versation at the fire house that he wasn't with his sister Thursday night. - Detective Totten said that he retracted this statement during today's questioning.
