THE Tfllfllt Op ' POF. BOGfltJT. ills Counsel In Consultation Future Steps. as to THE TESTIMONY GIYEH YESTERDAY Prof. Bogart Denied All and Said He Was Innocent of the Charges Against IUm. His Evidenco Radically Different From That Offered by the Prosecution, S)eelnl IIbrald Correspondence. PirnmuRa, Jan. 7. The verdict in the esse of the Commonwealth against C. D. l T", J"" " " M contrary to the evidence. Prof. Bogart's lawyers spent to-night in consultation as to whether they will ask for a new trial, or take the oase to the Superior Court. The evidence of School Director Grimes, of Knoxville, differed entirely from what he stated to Prof. Bogart and his counsel when they were here at tho last term of court. Tlio Shenandoah delegation that attended tho trial will leave here for home to-morrow morning. Knowing well tho interest the Shenandoah people have taken in tho case and that they will appreciate as full a report of the trial as possible, your correspondent decided to forward you the evidenco as given before tho court to-day. It is more complete than could bo furnished by telegraph contemporaneous ly with the trial. This morning John C. Vates, father of Clara Vatos, was recalled and told of'visiting Bogart in his office tlio morning after the assault, lie spoko in loud tones to Bogart, who requested that they gb to the homo of the witness and hold the conversation in the presence of the mother and daughter. Clara thero repeated tho accusations against the principal, who asked if the girl had not been dreaming. She said she had had horrible dreams during tho night, in which Bogart ami her mother figured unpleasantly. Vates then said that the professor begged that the whole nfl'alr be dropped and iu return, ho would teach the girl free of charge under her parents' personal supervision. Yateti at first agreed to keep the matter quiet. Vatos re cited the incidents as related to him by his daughter. Judge White had some difficulty in mak ing tho witness understand, how and to what he was to testify. His direct testimony brought out nothing additional to that pro duced at the trial yesterday. On cross-examination by D. F.Patterson, Vatosadraitted that Prof. Bogart requested an opportunity to provo that ho was not tho kind of man Clara had accused him of being. Vatos, in reply to a question by Mr. Pat terson, said Prof. Bogart! -resignation had boon requested by the school board and that the principal had not voluntarily offered his resignation. - Clara Vates recalled. She again repeated what she had told her father of Bogart's al leged crime. She rtlated how her cloth ing had been deranged. Sho denied that a struggle had taken place, but admitted that she did not know just how her clothing had bocome disordered, and had concluded, after going to bed that night, that it was dono while she was standiug by tho professor's desk. George W. Bailey, a box worker, and formerly a Knoxville school director, testi fied that the board held a meeting on April 24, and sont forjlr. Bogart, accusing him o immoral conduct, wSioh he denied. .The witness said the principal had confessed to pulling up Clara's stocking and taking a pin out of her clothes that had jabbed him, but explained that what he had done was only in a fatherly way. Bailoy further testified that Bogart had stated that ho had had a tusslo with tho girl, aud that sho had slipped and fallen on the floor. He also added that each mem ber of tho board, in turn, arose aud re quested the principal to resign forthwith, the initiativo having been taken by Manager K. J. F. Grimes, of the Knoxville Laud Im provement Company. J, C. Kwing, nnother member of tho school board, corroborated Bailey's testimony in part, but on cross-examiuatiou said that after Prof. Bogart mado his statement before the directors J. Hunter thought it would bo wise to cany out the suggestion made by tho principal to him (Hunter) in the morning, the substanco of which was that his resigna tion would be handed in. The Commonwealth then rested aud Judge Wbito again reiterated that thbre was no evi dence to convict of a felony, but that a ver dict of attempting to commit a misdemeanor might be arrived kt. Attorney H. N. Hunter then started the ontllne of tho defense, after which tho defendant was put on the stand. He told of the botany trips of the Knoxville school pupils, and said ho had not seen Clara Vates at any time after sho left the school that day until she came to his olllce that evening. Ho had gone to tho building that evening to correct examination papers. A large drawing, showing the arrangement of the school and the principal's oflloe was put in evidence, aud explained in detail. Prof. Bogart explained that he had ex pected his wife and daughter to stop at the office for him on their way home, and when he heard footets he thought his little girl had come. Ho was much surprised to see Clara Vates and asked why she had come. He told her she could get her books and, on returning to the office after finding them she asked aesistanee witlt a difficult aluebra problem. She stood at his loft and turning about half way around, tripped on an open drawer or some other oUtruction. She tried to catch herself. The profeesor told how he had helped her to arise, aud tore his hand-on a pin which she had in her clothes. Ho de nied that he had taken out the piuor had in any way interfered witlt- the girl. He had not lucked the office door, as she yesterday testified. They went out of the building together, he said, and ho walked home with her. Passing the Episcopal ,ohnroh, where a festival .was in progress, he told the girl he had promised to purchase two ticket from MUs Norrls, oue of ?he teachers, and would give them to her for the following evening. Prof. Bogart further aald he In no way luul touched Clara Vates criminally or had even pulled up her stocking, but had called her attention to its beiug in a deranged condi tion, He had not iu any tnanuer, whaUo ever, done a singlo thing that could be con strued as the least Impropriety. Tho witness told a straightforward story, without being Iu the least confused. He described Jhe interview iu the Vatos house hold, remarking that the father aald the stories she told were so radically different that lie bad concluded to say nothing further about the matter. When this afternoon's session of the court opened Prof. Bogart wm again called on the witness stand. He testified to a conversation that had occur ml between School Directors Hunter, Grimes aud himself in regard to the charges made in which Mr. Grimes said that the professor's usefulness bad been so Im paired by the publicity given to the circum stances that his resignation would be the best solution of the difficulty. Witness bad made a statement before the board in the presence of tbe girl and her rather that nothing out of place had occurred and she was laboring uuder hallucinations. He said at the meet ing practically what ho testified Gere. He had made an application for the schools at Shenandoah prior to the charges. Judge White said that the case depended on the testimony of the girl and the defend ant and such additional evidenco as would tend to corroborate or refute their stories. Mr. Patterson said he wanted to show that Prof. Bogart had made arrangements to go to Shenandoah before tho date of the alleged occurrences. He said be would show that the prosecution was brought up by parties out slde of this county to gratify personal feelings against the defendant. Judge White said that the point was Immaterial. The Shenandoah School Di rec tors or any of them had a right, he said, to come here and institute this prosecution and he would have to refuse evidence on this point. On cross-examination District Attorney Haymaker asked witness why lie went to tho school at the hour he did and said it was to complete some work he had on hand. He again detailed tbe circumstances attending the visit of Clara Vates to bis office, sueh as he had mado in tho direct examination, pointing out on the diagram the location of the desk and other articles of furniture in the room and his own and the girl's relation to thcin at the tlmo. Director W. J. Hunter was called. Ho practically corroborated tho statement of Mr. Vates that Prof. Bogart had said that if these charftes against him were pressed his usefulness was at an end. Witness also de tailed what was dono at the subsequent board meeting, which did not differ in oflect from tho ovidence given before. He said it was not an unusual thing for Prof. Bogart to be in the school office at iiMit and l,,, often seen light in tho building after dark, i J. v. unmes was examined by -Mr. I atterson. He said he was a member of the Knoxville school board in 1896. Prof. Bogart had said to him that ha wanted thn matter dropped for if it became public his usefulness would be at an end. He retold the story of the board meeting which was essentially the same as the former one. At ne isoaru meeting Prof. Bogart admitted that tho girl's stockinc liu.l Ml-, i ,!, .,,! ho bad indiscreetly pulled it up, the same as uc migni uo to nis own daughter. james Mclvennedy, member of School Board, testified to about the same as tho preceuing evidence. wirccior w. U. Ouwtt. nrot,lo.,t r Board, said Prof. Bogart was the fW in outmost iii! resignation. Jennio Quest, a scholar In rum v,,t class, testified that tho latter, on the morning m. ,uii was supposed to havo been corunmtcu. tout tho witness that sho "might .....uiuiwu, uiara also said sho came to school that inomiug to see how Miss Nor ns liked hor now nositinn no nrtnint Kittle Jones and Lillian Shook, two other scnooiiiiaies, tostincd that Clara Vatos made thesamo statement to them, corroborating tho Quest girl's testimony. Clara Vates had previously denied that she had made any such statement. Expert testimony was then produced, show ing that persons troublod with Chorea (St Vitas dance) are more or loss subject to in sanity, in many cases fully developed, fhere are two periods in life liable particu arlyto mental desturbances, duo of them being at the age of 13 years. The affidavits of Clara Vates, her father and mother, and also of Director Bailoy were then offored in testimony by the defense. In one or two instances the Vates girl contradicted herself. Tho defense rested its case at 3:15. The Commonwealth stated they bad no rebuttal and made the suggestion to the counsel for tho defense that the case go to the jury without argument on either side. After a brief consultation this was agreed to. The charge of Judge White was particu larly severe upon tho defendant. He stated that the oase rested solely upon the proposi tion, as to which the jury shall believe the statements of the girl, or that of tho do fondant. One makes tlio charge, nnd the other denies it. All tho other ovidonce was inmaterlal, be said, only that in corrobora tion of p,ui the two principals testified to. He fuithcr informed tho jury that they could uut find the defendant guilty of the felony, but might llud him guilty of assault with intent to commit rape and that they had lib disposition of the costs. If adjudged guilty the defendant ..uum uavu io pay ino costs; ir not guilty, tho county would pay thorn. The Judge did uot comment on tho evidenco of the girls as to Clara" Vates statemout to them, nnd en tirely ignored the' export testimony. Itreen's ltlalto Cofo Free I.imuli.

He has un dergone an operation in tho San Am hroslo hospital, and it will be determined at the ond of nine days whether he Is llkoly. to llvo or dlo. Delgado's vitality was much reduood by his experiences. Ho lay for ton weeks in a thatched hut with out medical attention. "When his hiding place was discovered he was so weak that he oould scarcely move. The oom mnnder ot the squad was about to dis patch him with a machote, after asking him his name. One of the Spanish sol diers remembered that there was o reward of 200,000 pesetas for the copturo of HI cardo Dolgado or Porloo Delgado, and they believed Henry Helgndo to be one of tho two. Thoy took him to Havana, Whero they oxpeoted to see him shot after having received the blood money. The Three Friends Not a Pirate.
