Osborne tonight delivered a pop ulist harangue and concluded by saying he would neither deny or affirm the charges, and denounced the Call for publishing his private movements. He then followed his virtual confession by making allu sions to certain matters which were brought out in a divorce suit here some years ago. These allusions affected a rel ative of Mr. Dunwoody and at the time the divorce case was tried they were denied. Tonight when Osborne referred to this case the hall was packed and jammed to the doors.
