This morn Ing, after half a dozen witnesses had been called by both sides to contradict portions of the others' testimony, At torney John M. Freeman said:, ''That Is all.” .. Every one seemed relieved with the possible exception of Mrs. Augustus Hartje, the-beautiful libellant, who was In excellent spirits this morning. "Are you glad it's all over?” she was” asked. Turning with a smile that waa almoat a laugh she said: "I don’t know. "I—" "Here, you must not talk," quickly put In Mrs. Alex Slocum, the woman who had been Mrs. Hartje'a constant companion since the flrst day of the trial. The latter looked disappointed, as she evidently intended to say that she had begun to enjoy ths trial. Immediately after the trial adjourned First Assistant District Attorney Robb caught Attorneys John Marron and Edward Hartje before they could leave the . court, room and said he wanted to talk to them. The trio went to a, cor ner of the room and had a long whis pered conversation. "I can't and won't say what the con ference was about,” replied Hartje'a brother when questioned. "I let those two-newspaper men In and they turned out to be spies." He referred to the testimony offered by John R. Ball and John Qeyer, who had testified this morning that Ed Hartje had told them on April 12 that he had letters written by Mrs. Hartje to other men. Ed Hartje on the stand this morning denied making this state ment to the reporters. Blonde Tell* on Hartje. Alma Ross, the mysterious "blonde," who kept a rooming house, swore yes terday that Augustus Hartje and Jose phine Wright frequently met at her house; that the Wright woman brought him there and Introduced him, and said that the house at which she had been living was too public and too close to the Hartje warehouse. The Ross woman said Hartje paid Josephine Wright's room rent there after. Several days ago Hartje swore he did not know Josephine Wright and the Wright woman swore she did not know Hartje.
