Dec. 22.—Robert Hilliard, the actor, who is appearing here in "The Argyle Case,” w m brought face to face with a charge of white slavery as a result of his friendly interest in Mrs. Olga Wil liams. a wealthy Philadelphia di vorcee, who traveled South with the company. The charge was hfnted at by Judge M. L. Lazarus, counsel for William Page, formerly valet for Hilliard. Page has sued the actor for $5,000 damages, alleging that he was beat n by the latter. Mrs. Williams was wanted as a witness at Hilliard’s pre liminary hearing but she was ab sent. Counsel f r the valet tried to bring out the fact that Mrs. Williams was in the actor's dressing room Tuesday night when he assaulted Page, but members of the company declared Mrs. Williams was not in the room at the time. Finally Hilliard rose impa- • tiently to bis feet. , "If your honor will permit," he said, I "I will clear up this matter very soon. ; Mrs. Williams left the jurisdiction of : this court when she learned that sho might become involved In this trial. I advised her to do so. She is a re spectable woman. She wanted to take a trip to the South during the cold weather; my company was going the same way. She la properly chaperoned by Miss Everett. 1 suppose," he added, "white slave charges will be brought against me next." "That is possible," aaid Judge Laza rus. addressing the court. "Page, the valet, kept Mr. Hilliard’s accounts. He can show- that Hilliard paid Mrs. Williams’ railroad fare and that she reimbursed him with checks. The fact that she paid him back with checks would be considered an eva sion before the law. I have not taken any steps toward making white slave charges against Mr. Hilliard. This matter rests w'ith the District Attor ney.” N. Y. Gives $26 Each To 603 Blind Persons NEW YORK.
