SPEED IN 'JILTING
MILLIONAIRE’SUIT
Octogenian Manning Tells His
Story of Attempts to “In
veigle” Him Ey 18 Year Old
Honora O’Brien.
(BY TMt UNITED P3ESS I
New York.- Before night John B.
Manning, 34 years of age, will know
whether his alleged Jilting of pretty 1*
year old Honora O Brten will cost him
the *1,000,000 which the plaintiff in
sists shattered her sensibilities. The
summing up occupied the morning ses
sion of court before Justice Cropsey.
It. cloned a case which for speed 111
handling has anything of a like nature
beaten in the history of New York’s
court records.
The 34 year old defendant appeared
in court today almost jauntily after
bis spirited word fencing throughout
last night's session. He had admitted
that much of the palsy with which hia
hands seemed shaken, and much of his
halting walk was assumed, simply be
cause he had been told that the Jury
might be impressed with the contrast
between fresh, vigorous, rosy-eheeked
Honora May O'Brien and his own de
crlplt old age. This admission out of
the way, Manning gave the cross ex
amining lawyer a vivid exhibition of
his clearness of mind and native
shrewdness tinctured with humor.
"Not Many Times.”
Attorney Haldwln, for Miss O'Brien,
went at the wit ness hammer and tongs.
He gut Manning frankly to admit that
he didn’t consider himself "a feeble old
man, ' and that he had "chased a pho
tographer half a block and smashed
him across (he back with a cane."
Manning confessed he had kissed the
fair defendant but "not many times,
as It was a sin to kiss girls and get
them to thinking of me." He laughed
In humorous chuckles in relating (he
game of euchre In the .Manning home
when he and Honora playfully put the
st4kes as possession of himself—“and
Honora wnn me" as he expressed it.
Throughout all the examination he
carefully defended Mlhs O’Brien’s
truthfulness, but always insisted he
began to get auspicious that the
O'Briens, Honors and her brother were
trying to inveigle him Into marriage.
The millionaire laughed heartily In
describing this attemp tn "Inveigle.”
"After we played cards one night,
Miss O'Brien suddenly got down and
unbuckled my shoes. I don’t want
you to do that. It Isn’t nice. She said
site wanted tn show me what i he could
do fur me and what, a comfort she
would he for me. Then she swirled her
skirls about me and swamped me,
and swamped me. throwing me down
on the sofa. I told her that It was
wicked and not to dm It again; that It
wasn't nice. Bhe laughed and turned
on her heel."
“Mystery Of The
Chained Hand Car”
Further pursuing Itk Investigation
into the "Mystery of the (’Stained
Hand Car. or How the Track Wan
Blocked." The Herald Is able to re
port that the hand car is still chained
and the track in still blocked I.arKe
numbers of people have visited the
scene which In at the corner of Sixth
and Reynolds Htreets, nearer the
Houtheast corner than any other cor

Southeasterly direction from St I’aul'a
Church and due North frmp the cor
ner of Sixth and
blocks Fast of the Cotton Kxcbange
and one block South of the Savannah
River. If thla description Isn’t exact
enough an honest effort will he made
to more clearly indicate the exact
■pot. However, It appears that the
Identification already published has
had the effect of leading large num
bers of people to the scene.
As stated in the Initial installment
of this serial, there is a hand car
chained to the track of the Southern
Railway which blocks the Savannah
River Terminal Company, owned by
the Georgia, from making a connec
tion wittt the Augusta * Summerville
tracks on Sixth Street.
So far The Herald hasn't been able
tn ascertain why the track was block
ed, hut we are pursuing our Inves
tigations still further. We know thnt
there is some sort of dispute between
the two great railroad systems, but
as for details we do not know them.
We do know, hawever. that the track
Is blocked A minute investigation of
the hand enff- Saturday showed that It
has the word "Charlotte" printed on Its
side, indicating that at one time tn its
career it has been to a place of that
name, or perhaps It was christened
Charlotte" when it was born, Char
lotte being such an attractive name.
Though It may have been fair to look
upon once, this particularly hand car
Is very much battered now It has
been stripped completely except for a
decaying floor. Take this away and
nothing would he left hut the two
trucks, and the chain and the lock.
The lock, bv the way, contains these

(JJrs. Uovta apent s tjp months in France
as a volunteer worker. This sketch is the
result ot a w'sif to Nancy. )
To Icaru patriotism, it is well to sit at
the feet of the little citizens of Nancy,
and the children refugees who have found
shelter there from shattered and burning
homes. Sometimes you can hear them
singing while the guns r.re booming on the
Lorraine frontier less -ban three miles
away— patriotic songs about Alsace and
I/urraine. Then the older people take a
new grtp on tbeir eburage.
There are children in Nancy who
live comfortably in their homes. Be
cause so many bombs fal on Nancy, and
because the city is sometimes bombarded,
the children know that on a town signal
they must run into the cellar of the near
est house marked with the great red
cross of Lorraine. Perhaps there they
will have protection.
Then there are the children in the hos
pitals, victims of the bombs. We are so
used to talking in millions now that it
seems more than legions t< see one
little girl, wboee tegs were cut off, bug
ging a doll tight in her a.-ms, her grave
face never smiling. Two little boys who
bars had amputations from the bomba
have asked to be allowed to lie in the
same room with the woundel soldiers.
The soldiers smiled and said. "Bien;’
and the little fellows are inordinately
proud of the accidents that gave them
the right to lie in a ward of crippled
soldiers, in equal rank > ilfc heroes.
Then, too, there are the little ones in the
refugee colonies. If you havs helped to
carry the world burden, by your service,
by your money, you can look clear into
their eyes. Otherwise you turn away.
These little ones are like other children
except iu one thing. No horrible thing
can ever sot price them, for their baby
eyes have seen the unspeakable. They
have teen violence and rath in Its mog;

(BV THE UNITED PRESS.)
St. Louis. —Charles of immorality and
violations of the anti-drinking provisions
of the selective .service* bill in the neigh
borhood of Jefferson Barracks, threat
ened to develop s city row here today.
Newspapers, public, and city and county
officials are divided and statements and
denials are flying thick.
Governor Gardner, following complaints
of the St. Louis branch of the National
Security League, directed city and coun
ty officials to Investigate conditions near
the big * army post and a dispatch from
Washington, purporting to come from
Raymond B. Fosdick. chairman of the
war department's commission of training
oampa. threatened to remove the great
barracks from St. Louis if conditions in
the district are not cleaned up. In a
statement today. Colonel Leßoy Irwin,
commander of the post, characterised the
charges as "horrible exaggerations.”
The reformers came back with a state
ment asserting that saloons near the
post have furnished dressing rooms
where soldiers are flowed to change
from uniforms to overalls so that drinks
can be sold without the violation of the
"uniform clause.”
Hundreds of immoral women have
flocked to the neighborhood of the post
and are meeting soldiers on the outskirts
of the camp, the reformers charge. Sher
iff Boppe, U. S. District Attorney Oliver
and, war department officials continued
their investigation today.

THIS MAN ATTACKED CONSTITUTIONALITY
OF DRAFT LAW; GIVEN 3 YEARS IN PRISON;
GEORGIA SLACKERS MAY WELL BEWARE
This country dqes not want your
kind. This is a country where free
men live, because free men obey the
majority. Your offense does not call
for mercy, but for the severest punish
ment. I wish I could give you life, and
all of your ilk. I hope by the time your
term expires this nation will be rid of
all such creatures as you.—Federal
Judge Julius M. Mayer, in sentencing
Louis Kramer, the slacker. Says the
New York World.
”1 shall see that you are deported,
but not until you have served every
day of your sentence. You are a cra
ven! You are a coward!" almost shout
ed Federal Judge Julius M. Mayer yes
terday in sentencing Anarchist Louis
Kramer to three years in the Federal
Penitentiary at Atlanta and imposing
a fine of *IO,OOO. Kramer was convict
ed on charges of conspiracy against
the registration law and failing to reg
ister.
If. on nonpayment of the fine, Kra
mer must serve a day tot each dollar,
twenty-eight year* will be added to his
term.
Morris Becker, another anarchist,
was seritenced by Judge Mayer to 13
months for conspiracy In connection
with the registration law.
Herman P. Levine, 23 years old, of
No. 315 Riverside Avenue, Brooklyn, a
teacher in Public School No. 60, Man
hattan, was sentenced to serve cue
year in the penitentiary on Blackwell’s
Island by Federal Judge Chatfield in
Brooklyn for failure to register.
Coward, Parjuror, Says Court.
The court room was crowded when
Judge Mayer passed sentence on Kra
mer and Becker. The at ditors broke
into wild cheering, t Jok the at
tenadants several mlnu.es to quiet
them. After order had been restored.
Judge Mayer, pointing his finger at
Kramer, said;
"By the contributions of law-abiding
citizens you got your education In this
country. Your offense does not call
for merry. You have been convicted
on a conspiracy charge and also for not
registering
" You yrfu, defy the government and
the laws of the United States. You
have put yourself above the laws. You
have talked bravely here. You have
mistaken the country to which you
have come. But you have shown the
characteristics of men like you.
"I noticed that on the stand you
were careful to give perjured testi
mony In the essential features which
were damaging to your case. Y'ours
was the perjured testimony of a cow
ard .
"I sentence you to three years in
prison and impose a fine of SIO,OOO. As
for you, Becker, eighteen months is all
I can give you under the law."
Through Gantlet of Hitses.
The auditors again broke into loud
cheers, amid which Kramer tried to
deliver an address on anarchism, but
could not be heard in the hubbub. The
men were then taken from the court
room under a strong guard, being con
stantly hissed along the corridors of

SATURDAY, JUNE 16.
Kramer and Becker were convicted
Tuesday on the conspiracy charge,
sentence being deferred until Kramer
could be brought to trial yesterday on
the second charge. It took scarcely
half an hour to choose a jury.
Kramer was represented by Harry
Weinberger, who attacked the legality
of the conscription law. He tried to
show that sending citizens abroad
against their will waa a violation of the
Constitution.
”1 don't want a stump speech," In
terrupted the court.
"I am making no stump speech. I
am only quoting Blackstone on tha
Constitution," said Mr. Weinberger.
Court Cuts Out Pacifism.
"Blackstone had nothing to do with
our Constitution," snapped Judge May
er. “For the last time, I want you to
argue on points of law only and not to
make the court a speech-making for
um. Y’ou cannot use it for the discus
sion of pacifism so long as I am sitting
on this bench."
Kramer on the stand swore, as an
anarchist, he could not participate in
wholesale murder.
“The court does not want to know
anything about anarchy and there will
be no speech from you," said Judge
Mayer, who ordered Kramer to leave
the stand and his attorney to sum
up.
Weiberger argued ’ for clemency for
Kramer until the higher courts could
pass upon the legality of the conscrip
tion law. He spoke three minutes, dur
ing which he requested that his client
be deported to Russia at once.
Judge Mayer, charging the jury, said
as Kramer had conceded everything,
the twelve men merely had to perform
a legal formality.
The jury was out Just one minute
and gave a verdict of guilty.
"My client would like to go hack to
Russia now." interrupted Weinber
ger.
"I guess he would," said the Judge,
"but he will have to serve his sentence
here first.”
Teacher Gets Short Shrift
After spending a week in the Ray
mond street Jail, Herman P. Levine, re
fusing to register, was taken before
Federal Judge Chatfield in Brooklyn f
and sentenced to one year on Black
well's Island.
“Y'ou have deliberately decided to
commit a crime,” said Judge Chatfield,
“and it is my duty to sentence you.
You were educated In the Brooklyn
schools and knew exactly what you
were doing.”
Levine did not seem perturbed at tha
sentence, as he took the same obdurate
attitude before the court as he had as
sumed when United States Marahal
Power gave him every chance to com-i
ply with the law by registering.
Several of Levine's friends in court
were held up by deputy marshals, and
on showing their registration cards
were permitted to go.
When taken before Judge Chatfield,
Bennie Mongol, the only other indicts*
slacker, expressed a willingness to reg
ister. After filling In and signing tha
blank he was sentenced to one day in
Jail.

SLACKER SITUATION
SERIOUS J BURKE
Believed By Some That There
, Are Two Hundred There.
Reports have it that the slacker situa
tion in Burke county is more serious than
at first thought.
One authority is quoted as saying that
there are at least 200 men in that county j
who failed to register on June 6th sos
selective draft.
Several negroes have already been
brought in from Burke and the majority
of them placed under SI,OOO bonds, the
others under SSOO bonds.
Swearing they were 21 to receive liquor
and then failing to register will likely
be the cause of many men getting into
trouble. It is said that some of the ne
groes thought they were only taking an
oath that they had not received liquor in
the past month when they were swearing
they were 21.
The authorities are busy making inves
tigations, and it is likely a "round-up**
will soon begin.
