Judge Decides Woman Cannot Be Held Liable, but Leaves Question of Husband’s Re- sponsibility to the Jury. Mrs, M. Therese Buchanan, wite of Charles P. Buchanan, who was caught in the Northern Pacifilc railway panto f May 8, 1900, declares at the end of & delightful evening beginning with « fate supper and concluding with a “njee little family game of poker” with f R. Rogers, manager for the Wall street firm of John F. Harris & Co., later Harris, Gates & Co., as their guest, everything was spoiled at 2 o'clock in the morning by the Introduction of “horrid business.” Mrs. Buchanan was a bride of but a few days—hours, rather—and she was entertaining in her own house, No. 62 East Sixty-third street, worth $40,000, Mr. Buchanan had been a long-time customer of the broker's firm. Mr. Rogers gently remarked that Mr, Buchanan's account with the firm was in bad shape; very bad. In fact, he was $20,000 In debt. Then he suggested & way out. It was for both Buchanan and his bride to sign a note for $40,000. He says in behalf of John F, Harris & Co., who ure suing to recover on the note, that it was given to cover margins on Mr. an's speculations, but she says with some warmth that the note was given to accommodate Harris & Co. and was to be held for a rise in 1,600 shares of Atchison preferred to wipe out the $20,000 indebtedness, but that instead of holding the Atohison for the rise Harris & Co, sold it out, “1 was nol personally indebted to the firm.

Mrs. Buchanay was very much morti- fied that in a question put by one of the Inwyers about the “card game" at her house he called tt a “poker game.” Said the handsome hostess to an Evening World reporter: “Why, yes, we did play poker. But it was only a little pleasant family Nobody won or lost anything. Nobody could—it was so small. But one would think we were gambling; gambling for high stakes.” Juauice Blanchard sald there was no evidence before him of any considera- tion to Mrs. Buchanan for making the ; no evidence that Harris parted anything of value or gave any ance to her in and he released her of any sing the case as against .
