Dodge was hurriedly summoned to the District-Attorney’s office late this afternoon from the Broadway Central Hotel, where he was under guard of Detective Sergeant Herlihy and Detective Beery following the dismissal of the perjury charge against him by Judge Cowing. - It is supposed that the District-Attorney has learned some new facts |in the conspiracy charge made against persons supposed to be involved jin the Charles W. Morse divorce scandal and wants affidavits from Dodge | upon which immediate action can be taken. | The perjury proceedings were discontinued by Judge Cowing thic fafternox yn upon motion of the District-Attorney, who said he had reasons which he could not make public without impeding the course of justice, James W. Osborne, Dodge's attorney, said that Dodge, instead of being a prisoner, W ould be a guest of the State of New York for some time to ' come. CASE COMES UP WEDNESDAY, The District-Attorney will move the Morse conspiracy case before | the Grand Jury next Wednesday, and an indictment—or, perhaps, a bunch | of indictments—may issue on Thursday. Mr. Jerome will not take his usual Christmas vacation, but will spend all the time he can spare in the next three days preparing his case. Despite the expenditure of $25,000 c* more which the District. Attorney has been forced to make to bring Dodge back from Texas he feels satisfied, He has informed those interested with him in getting | to the bottom of the Morse scandal that it is the most sensational expose he has ever been connected with, ivolving not only the millionaire polie tician, but some lawyers whose reputatians are not confined by the limits of New York City. DISCHARGED AT JEROME'S REQUEST Dadge remained at the Broadway Central Hotel, where he spent the nigh @ the custody of United States Marshal Hanson, of Texas, shortly after noon. He was taken direct to the Criminal Courts Building and to the office of the District-Attorney With Mr, Jerome were bis assistants, Rand and Garvan, and Mr, Om borne, They had been waiting for some time for Dodge's arrival, but the Texas officers slept late. Dodge was hurried to Judge Cowing’s chambers, where the District-Attorney opened the proceedings after introducing Mar shal Hanson to the Court. He recited the history of the Dodge case since the prisoner was indicted last January for perjury and told of the expensive and desperate fight that | bad been made to keep him in Texas. “The District-Atworney,” he continued, “has carefully reviewed all the | evidence in this case and thinks that he knows something about it. There tore, for reasons of a public nature, which, for public reasons I do not care to state, I believe that the defendant should be discharged om his own recogniance.” “Granted,” sald Judge Cowing, and Dodge was free. the District-Attorney’s office. WHY HE CHANGED COUNSEL, While waiting for the opening of proceedings in Judge Cowing’s court, Mr. Osborne was asked why Dodge had refused to see Bartown S. Weeks and Abe Hummel at Police Headquarters last night. He did not answer jirectly, but made this statement “Suppose a lawyer should go to a client and tell him a story and bis }jent should agree to that story, and suppose that the facts should become ;knewn to the prees and the attorney should not care to have the story come to Nght; if this attorney went to see his client while the cllent was in cum tody would he go there {n his own interest or in the interest of his client? And would you blame the client for securing another lawyer “There are a great many charitable lawyers in New York, by the way, Would you believe it that there is in this city a lawyer so charitable that he called at Police Headquarters last night and said, ‘I am Dodge's attorney.” 11 give you my word that Dodge not only did not know that attorney, but joe never heard his name before.
