ACQUITTAL PLEAS IN NEW HAVEN CASE Judge Hunt Hears Arguments in Favor of Defendants New York, Dec. 22.—Pleas for a verdict of acquittal in behalf of each of the defendants individually were heard by Judge Hunt today at the trial of the eleven former directors of the New Haven railroad under the Sherman law. The first was made in behalf of Henry K. McHarg, by Homer S. Cummings, who declared that nine- ty-nine per cent. of the testimony given in the case had no application to his client. He pointed out that | McHarg did not enter the New Haven board until June, 1907, and said that virtually all the acquisitions which the government complains of had been completed by that date. Though McHarg was a director dur- ing the Billard-Boston and Maine transactions, asserted the lawyer, he had no connection with them. The evidence showed, he conceded, that the Bank of Manhattan, of which Mc- Harg was vice president, made loans to Billard, but these were purely banking transactions. The bank was a depositary for New Haven funds and the loans were made at the re- quest of President Charles S. Mellen in the regular course. of business. Circumstances Trifling. “This is the tenuous thread against McHarg,” he said. “The ecircum- stances against him are trifling. He attended various directors meetings and approved various formal mo- tions, but that was the extent of his participation.” During the three year period of the statute of Mmitations ‘“nothing was done of the slightest consequence in which he participated,” the attor- | ney concluded. Pleads for Taft. Henry M. Earle made a similar argument in behalf of Robert W. Taft, who entered the board in 1904. “When this alleged conspiracy. be- | gan,” said Mr. Earle, “Mr. Taft was a small boy running around in knicker- bockers. Not one act of Mr. Taft shows that he was conscious of any conspiracy or intended to conspire when he entered the board, the suc- sessor of his father. Had Political Foundation. Pleading in behalf of Lewis Cass Ledyard, Delancy Nicoll denounced the prosecution of the case as having had a political foundation, described “This prosecution,” as having ignored “everything except politics, and then took up his client’s participation in the acquisition of the Boston and “Maine, picturing it as chiefly that of vendor of the Boston and Maine stock to the New Haven, “an ordinary busi- ness transaction.” M. T. White's cafe was the scene of a merry party this afternoon when “the genial -proprietor entertained a @arty of friends at a venison dinner. Each of the guests had his hunger devouring proclivities with him, and As a result several large dishes of Maine’s famous animal were put away. The afternoon was spent be- tween sessions of A. W. L. & C., with speech and song, in which the health of. the .genial host was proposed sev- sgral times. Those in attendance were Mayor G. A. Quigley, Harry Arens, George Cheney, M. J. Edwards, Joe 1. Haffey, A. E. Magnell and M. T. White .

He denied emphatically that his trip will in anyway be a peace mission. 'Will Sail Soon. Colonel House said he expected to sail from here within the next two weeks and would probably be in Tu- rope about #ix or eight weeks. “I am going to Europe at the re- quest of the president and the secre- tary of state for the purpose of taking informaticn to some of our ambassa- dors,” he said. “in order that they may have a more intimate knowledge of this government's attitude regard- ing certain phases of international questions and in crder to obtain from them their point of view on these matters. “It is not advisable to bring home at this time any of our ambassadors from the belligerent countries.

Parls, Dec. 22, 2:45 p. m.—An- nouncement was made by the war of- fice today that 1,200 Germans had been captured in the operations at Hartmann’s-Weilerkopf, which have enlarged the French positions to an appréciable extent. The statement follows: “There were few events of import- ance last night. In the Vosges the attack delivered vesterday by our troops made it possible for us to en- large appreciably our positions on the east slope of Hartmann’s-Weil- erkopf. The number of Germans made prisoners is now 1,200 of whom 21 are officers. They belong to six different regimentsy))’ Recapture by Germans. Berlin, Dec. 22, via London, 3:28 m.—A part of the German posi- tion on the summit of Hartmann’s- ‘Weilerkopf, in the Vosges, that was captured by the French yesterday, has been recaptured by German troops, it was officially announced by Germany army headquarters today. Russians Take Varna. TLondon, Dec. 22.—The “Daily Chronicle” reports the capture of Varna, Bulgaria’s chief Black Sea port, by the Russians. It says the hombardment of the Russians silenced the Bulgarian guns and laid the town in ruins, the garrison suffering | heavily. The Russians then, according to the report, landed infantry and artillery without loss and in sufficient force to hold the town against Bulgarian at- tack. Previous reports had announced that Russian warships were furiously bombarding Varna and that they were accompanied by transports loaded with troops. Should the capture of Varna prove irue, it would mean that the oft-re- reated intention of the Russians to land on Bulgarian soil, either by way of the Danube river or on the Black Sea coast, to take the Bulgarians and flank, has been accomplished.

On eve, 1911, he returned to spend the happy holiday season with his family, a carousal reached his ears. quietly to his door step and peering through a window, he saw his wife and several companions in the front room among them Mrs. John Sparmo, then Mollie Turner, who has since been divorced from her husband, Har- ry Turner, on grounds of misconduct with Schmidt, the correspondent in the present case. the house his wife calmly informed him that she was about to go out, and despite his remonstrance, she left. He then assumeda the role of a detective and followed her to Kennedy's saloon on Beaver street where he found her drinking. He testified that he threw her out of the place, and she went home. Repentance was deep in her heart when he arrived home and she promised to be a “good wife for Wil- lie.” For awhile the defendent continued to walk the straight an narrow path, but yearnings for the old life over- came her, and she becagne sshiftle: and soon began to neglect her duties both for her offspring and her home, he said.

A fight ensued between the witness and Schmidt, which resulted in both being arrested and in the trial that followed and Schmidt were bound over to the superior court. They were later liber- ated.
