It was believed that the feature of

been dropped for lack of evidence.

Defendant Composed
Gordon tossed his "$1000 bomb" into
the defense came after a heated tilt
with William A. Gray, chief counsel for
the. defense. He told the jury he could
prove it was Finley who sent the? big
banknote to Maloncj. the common
wealth's chief witness.
The defendant sat the bur of the court
with apparent composure as the pros
ecutor outlined events in the Fifth ward
leading up to the, slaying of George Ep
pley, a policeman, by one of the im
ported thugs.
Councilman Finley. who represents
the South Philadelphia district in the
new Council, wore a dark business suit.
Occasionally he adjusted a pair of eye
glasses as the opposing attorneys ar
gued. Gordon's opening address followed the
selection of the jury, with William
Dougherty, 440 Indiana nvemie. as fore
man. An hour- 'was required to select
the twelve men.
Spectators looked for a succession of
tilts betxxeen Mr. Gordon and Mr. Gray.
They were not kept waiting long.
Objections Expected
The assistant prosecutor was in the
middle of his address when Mr. Gray
objected to any reference to ennver- i
sations auegeu Detwcen me iicienunnt
and Maloney.
Gordon faced the jury. "Well," he
remarked, .""there will be plentv of ob

Gray's retort was: "I don't act the
baby in the trial of cases like some
district attorney do. He has no right
to say to this jury there will be ob
jections made during the trial. The only
reason why there will be any objections
is because this case is being tried by

IN FETTEROLF CASE
Judge Finletter Tells How Con
duct Makes Difference
in Damages
FRAME-UP, SAYS LAWYER
"Is it a case of simply Fetterolf, the
seducer, or Mrs. O'Loane, the sireu?"
asked Judge Finletter today in his
charge to the jury in the alienation
suit of the woman's husband. Lawrence
M. O'Loane, against Horace C. Fet
terolf, Philadelphia manufacturer and
clubman.
Attorney Owen J. Robcits hud made
Mrs. Mabel O'Loane the target of at
tack, when he addressed the jury in
defcuse of the manufacturer. Attor
ney Henry J. Scott, upon behalf of
O'Loane. had replied that the suit was
not a frame-up between husband und
wife, but an honest effort by an honest
man to make the breaker of his home
pay.
"Should this grandfather who dis
regarded his own children and grand
children go unpunished?" said Mr.
Scott. "You not only owe a duty to
this husband, you owe a duty to the
public. If a daughter of Fetterolf had
been taken from her child und her home
broken un nnd then she had been cast
aside. Fetterolf would have 'been the
first to punish ; nothing would have been
had enough to punish the offending man.
Are you going tq say he can violate the
Ten Commandments and stand immune
from tlie punishment he would himself
have meted out?"
Called Figurehead
Mr. Roberts had asserted that
O'Loane was a "mere figurehead" in
the suit. The moving spirit, he charged,
was Mrs. O'Loane.
He said that Mr. Fetterolf did not
hreak un the O'Loane home, as the
husband and wife had been living apart
since June; Till i. and were so com
pletely estranged, he declared, that Mrs.
O'Loane did not even know where her
husband was living.
Describing the meeting of Mrs.
O'Loane and Fetterolf in Boston, the
lawyer said that she, on the first night,
listened to a proposal that she go to
New York with the Philadelphia man
ufacturer. When the two parted, charged Mr.
Roberts. Mrs. O'Loane tried to extort
money from Tetterolf. even going to live
in the apartment house where Fet
terolf's wife und daughter made their
home.
The lawyer declared that U Loane
did not bring his suit until Mrs.
O'Loan had exhausted ex cry effort to
get money from the manufacturer.
Self-Confessed Sinner
Judge Finletter in his charge to the
jurv told tliem it it were sinmiy a ,-usu
of criminal relation with Mrs. O'Loane,
thev would not be lustitied lu awarding
damages as great as thev would if Fet
terolf had in addition nroKen up a nappy
home nnd enticed away a good and lov
ing wife.
Further he said the jury had before
them the case of a self-confessed sinner
in the person of Mrs. O'Loane, but
she was not suing for damages, but the
husband, and he had a right to on the
charges made.
Howexer, if he had lost a good and

than if he had lost a wife xvhosc morals
were in fuestiou. It xvas for the. jury
to say xvhether the woman had been a

who received injuries were all re
ported as doing well at the hospital
to which they had been removed.
Fire Mar-dial Elliott was at the scene
of the fire all night, with Captalu
Pfeifer. of the fire department, who
directed the search for bodies of the
victims.
Director Cortelyou said "The inves
tigation will be strict nnd impartial aud
the blame will be placed where it be
logs. if there is uny," he said.
"Firemen fighting the blaze did won
derful work. They were hindered out
side by tiecs and the surrounding struc
tures, but the worst obstacles were
thoe found in the hallways of sur
rounding buildings, which were so clut
tered with rubbish aud odds and ends
that the men hardly could find room
to run their lines."
The building, was used as a cabinet
shop and great quantities of varnish,
light woods and other inflammable ma
terials were on the various floors.
Holes cut in the floors for belts acted
us flues and a few minutes after the fire
began the escape of those on the top
floors was cut off.
Ropo Escapes Fall
The knotted rope fire escapes flung
from windows were of no avail. The
flames destroyed them at once," Ef

I The Ta,.lo building stood in a sort

i nnra because of the surrounding con-
ditions nnd the blaze,
Firemen mounted to roofs some dis
tance removed from the fire and made
their xx-ay across the intervening roofs
to fight the blaze from nearby points
of vantage.
Others fought the blaze from the rear
of the factory, in the graveyard of
old St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal
Church.
Rescues From Roof
Several men xxho had fled to the roof
of the Tarlo building x-erc rescued from
their peril by firemen.
Officer Harris broke down several
doors nnd carried fonr people au old
man and xvoinan from the third floor
and two meu from the second to safe
ty. Officers Quilan and Sherman also
helped several men out of the burning
building to safety.
Other effected their own escape by
during leaps from the fix-e-story Tarlo
building to ndjoining loxx'er roofs and
oxer alle.xs to safety.
Three men died on the Tarlo roof.
They apparently Tacked the nerve ot
take the dangerous first jump and their
bodies were found huddled together after
the flames xvere. extinguished.
Several men' jumped from the third
story xviridnxv of the burning building,
preferring possible death in the jump to
certain death in the blazing factory.
One dead man xxns found on the first
floor of the building. His coat xvas
xx'ouud around his head and evidently
he had died in a last desperate dash
for safety. He xvas xvlthin ten feet of
the doorxvay xvhen overcome.
Deaths of all six of the victims ap
parently were due to suflocatiou. No
burns that xx'ould be fatal xvere found
on the body of any one. The gases
arising from the x-arnishes aud other
fiuuh preparations are blamed for the
deaths.

Beyond estimating the damage at

as he expressed it, "pushed forxvard by

Also, "l ncle Dave admitted that
the older he gets ho is past eighty noxv
and still going strong the less he finds
he knows, and the harder he finds it to
get at the truth.
He shook his head a bit over all this
reform and altruistic stuff. He never
did like theorists, and he hasu't found
any recent reason to change his viexvs.
"Trouble xvith these theorists is,"
said "Uncle Dave," "that things they

Senato Freliughuysen. Republican,
of New Jersey, suggested that the pur
pose xvas to provide a place for Gen
eral Pershing.
"We can't afford to make u military
autocracy in America in order to fiud u
place for un officer," the secretary said.
"I think xvhen you place a military
man iu a place created by law and you
can't replace him you're doing some
thing that I believe the constitution
prohibits. It is impolitic and constitu
tionally infirm."
Declaring he had discussed the matter
xvith General Pershing, Mr. Baker said
he did not think the general xvould care
to have the place.
General Pershing's future relations to
the army organizatiou form u problem,
Secretary Baker said, in finding au as
signment for hint of importance nnd
uiguity corresponding to his high rank.
Senator Freliughuysen said that in
supporting the proposal designed to
make Pershing chief of staff lie did not
intend to cast auy reflection upon the
xvork during the xvar of General March,
the present chief.
"General March's service has been
of the very highest value and I am glad
to hear you say it," replied Mr. Baker.
The secretary Indorsed the bill as u
xxdiolc, declaring it "the most states
manlike attempt to reorganize the array
ever mnde In any country nnd an ex
ceedingly nblo and effective piece of
legislation."
The measure provides for compulsory
military training und the formation of
one big army to be divided into a citi
zens' reserve army, the regular army
consisting of 2SO.O0O meu, und the nu
tional guard.
