He won his ease and the lis pendens was dissolved. During the trial, in order to impugn Ghurman's credipility, Edward A, Alex- ‘ander, counsel for Fisher-Hansen, asked fhim these questions: “Do you remember that you were en- | aged in attempting to blackmail a| Society woman in Sherry's cafe on the| f@fternoon of Sept. 23 last?” asked Mr. Alexander. “No, sir,” replied Shurman. “I don't femember that." “Do you know Central Office Detec- Myes Collins and Hughes?" “Never saw unem in my life.” Stenographer in Case. wo you ever seen this young indy here, who is a stenographer at Sher- | wet’ Mr. Alexander polntod to a young woman seated among the wit- ‘Menses in the case. _“¥es,"" answered Shurman. “I may = seen her, but 1 don't remember “Did anybody arrest you or take ho ef you when yau were at She afe, and did you sign a con What you had accepted marked m from the society woman?" “No, sii Mr. Alexander refused to-tny to name| the society woman involved in the case, but he sald it was not Mrs, Burden. | He promised to go into the matter at) length to-day allowed by the court. | Shurman eatd that the whole story | Was @ tissue of les, “I never attempted! to Ddlackmail a woman tn my lite,’ ho declared. “These charges have been frumped up in order to prejudice my ease.
