FRIIAY, MAY 22, 1908, J UNDER $5000 BAIL KTff EHBP Mae -C. Wood Committed to tombs Prison THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. I e - NEW YORK, May 21. Mae C. .Wood, whose suit for absolute di vorce from Senator Piatt has been it trial fr several days in the supreme court here. She was committed to the Tombs prison late tonight after Judge 'Gorman has dismissed the com plainant in her actions and ordered ler held in $5000 bail on thy charge f perjury. The handwriting expert testified that in his opinion the body of the letter in which Flatt was alleg ed to have admitted his relation as iusband to the plaintiff was added sfter the senator's signature had been affixed. More telling still for the de fense were depositions of engravers and stationers called by Piatt's cdun el that the blank form upon which the alleged Platt-wood marriage cer tificate was made was not lithograph ed until three months after date upon which the marriage of Miss Wood to Senator Tlatt' was alleged to have taken place. Miss Wood was called to the stand in rebuttal. Piatt's counsel then moved for the dismissal of the complaint. It was forthwith granted by O'Gorman who in rendering his decision said: tannot credit plaintiffs evidence as to the alleged marriage and the testi- mony as it impresses the court is that this is a most wicked design to sup port a false and fivtitious claim by forgery and perjury." Forthwith he erdered Miss Wood committed to the Tombs on a charge of perjury, fixing ler bail at $3000. She was obviously staggered by the sudden turn of affairs and the shock caused by the order of arrest which the court made. She quickly regained her composure, lowever, and by the time s-he reached the city had rsumed her air of confi dence which she held practically throughout the trial. At the district attorney's office to ight it was said that Miss Wood's ease would speedily be taken to the grand jury if the indictment was found. At a late hour Miss Wood Bad not been able to furnish bail she was remanded'and was still locked up in the Tombs. CONGRESS TAKES ACTION. Will Give Subsidies to Ships Carrying Mail.
