SENATOR PLATT
ON THE STAND
The Aged Man Has to be Practically
Carried in and Out of Court.
New York, May 21. rhyslcally r.
weak that practically he had to be car
ried in and out of tlie courtroom Unit
ed States Senator l'latt was at times
a spirited witness when he appeared
to testify in his own behalf In Mae C.
Wood's suit for absolute divorce from
him. Ills deninl of all the charge J
brought by Miss Wood in her suit was
en.'phutic, and when prodded too hard
by the plaintiffs counsel the aped sen
ator proved himself capable of vigor
ous response. Senator l'latt categorical
ly denied that be ever married or
promised to marry the plaintiff; repudi
ated the signature purporting to l
his on the marriage certificate and the
genuineness of several letters whleli
Miss Wood testified came to her from
him.
Was Only a Dinner Party.
The senator denied Miss Wood's
tory of the marriage in the Fifth Av
eiiue hotel In this city, but declared
that be met her at the hotel to take hot
to dinner. He did pay his son Frank
riott $10,000 to secure certain letters
In a suit Miss Wood brought some
time ago. lie said he first met Mae
Wood In 1001, but denied each state
nient made by her on the witness stan J
having any reference to marriage. Th
denials were prompt and emphatic. He
also denied that he had given Mis
Wood a photograph of himself on which
lie had written "To my doar wife."
MHs Wood testified that she was sit
tinir on 1'latt's knee while he wrote
thfse words.
May Have Usetl Kndearing Terms
Lo Uarbier, Miss Wood's counsel.
asked Tlatt if he ever addressed Miss
Wood in endearing terms. Piatt said:
'I may have foolishly done so some
times." He also admitted that he ad
dressed her in letters as "Catty," and
that he liked her very much, because
she was an agreeable woman. He said
ho "didn't believe" he over called Miss
Wood by a more endearing term than
"Catty."
OTIIHIt MATTKKS UK DOL'BT.-
One Point, However. About Which He
le Positive.
There were a good many letters and
Incidents about which the senator was
doubtful, but not iosItive, but he de
clared positively that he had neve
maintained improper relations with the
plaintiff. One of the letters about
which he was in doubt was one ad
dressed "Dearest Mae" with other lov
ing matter. He said he "didn't think'
it was genuine, but when shown the
letter admitted that it was in his hand
writing.
Then when asked why he addressed
her so he said because he liked to cor-res-pond
with her, and Intimated that
there were "others." About the letter
making the appointment to dinner, as
he says, and - le married, as she
says, in which she was instructed to
occupy a certain room in the hotel, he
said: "I don't understand why I did
it. I told her to await my signal be
cause I was going to take dinner with
her."
It came out in the testimony that
his secretary, Howe, was an ex-clergy
man; as to whether he was still li
censed to perform marriages was not
established. Tlatt didn't know how
many times he met Miss Wood or how
many times he wrote to her. He had
met J. Martin Miller frequently, but
he denied any knowledge of the plan
for obtaining his letters to Miss Wood.
He (Piatt) did not get the letters, arid
didn't recollect that he ever had them
nor that Miller had any part in secur
ing them from Miss Wood.
. The defense made an effort to show
that the letter in which Piatt is rep
relented as admitting the marriage
was written over his signature on
blank sheet of paper to which he pre
viously affixed his autograph on re
quest of two women applicants for It
while he was stopping at the Ho'el
Arlington, m this city in 1003. In
proof of this an affidavit by a Mrs
Dunning was submitted in which she
swore she had sent a bcok to the sen
ator asking for his autograph, which
was written in the book, and she giv
the autograph to Miss Wood.

Breaks His Collar Bone.
Yesterday while at the grounds of
the Omaha Field club T. M. Patterson,
by a fall, sustained a fracture of the
left collar bone. It seems he, Henry
Goos and Ed Egenberger were playing
catch with a tennis ball, and when the
ball had been thrown to Mr. Patterson,
and going a little over him, he ran for
it, slipped, and fell to the ground, strik
ing his shoulder and breaking his collar
bone. The fracture was reduced by a
physician, and while giving considera
ble pain, is getting along as well as
could be expected.

NO REASON FOR IT
When Plattsmouth Citizens Show the
Certain Way Out
There can be no just reason why any
reader of this will continue to suffer the
tortures of an aching back, the annoy
ance of urinary disorders, the dangers
of diabetes or any kidney ills when
relief is so near at hand and the most
positive proof given that they can be
cured. Read what a Plattsmouth citi
zen says:
John Janda, street commissioner.
iving on the corner of 17th and Pearl
streets. Plattsmouth, says: I cannot
say too much in favor of Doan's Kidney
Pills. My wife used them for pain in
her back and was soon absolutely freed
from the annoyance. I also used them
with the same satisfactory results. All
those who suffer from backache or
symptoms due to irregularity of the
kidneys will consult their own interest
by procuring Doan's Kidney Pills at
Gering & Co.'s drug store and give them
trial. Every opportunity I get I will
speak a good word for Doan's Kidney
Pills and I have already done so on many
occasions.
For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents

Social Workers Entertained.
The Social Workers of the Methodist
church were entertained at the home
of Mrs. W. F. Crabill yesterday after
noon, by Mrs. M. Howland. The first
thing to claim the attention of the
workers was the business of the meet
ing which called them together, which
was transacted with neatness and die
patch. Then came the side into play
from which the other portion of their
name was derived, the social side. Dur
ing this portion of the afternoon's en
tertainment they had a good time gen
erally, and it was made more pleasant
by the serving of a delicate lunch
which was greatly enjoyed by all.
