GORE EXONERATED BY JURY.
Evidence by Plaintiff Declared to be 1
Insufficient for Suit.
Oklahoma City, Okla., Feb. 18.?
United States Senator Thomas P. ^
Gore was to-day exonerated of c
charges of improper conduct by a f
verdict in his favor returned in dis- I c
trict court here in the suit for $50,- 1
000 damages instituted by Mrs. Min- 1
nie E. Bond, of Oklahoma City. 1
The verdict was returned at 5.40 t
p. m., ten minutes after the case was c
t given to the jury. Only one ballot
was taken. 1
"We find," the jury stated in the a
' * "i-i ?.j ?v ? J v.. t
vcraict, tne eviueuce suummcu u?
the plaintiff entirely insufficient upon
which to base a suit; that said evidence
wholly exonerates the defend- a
ant, and had the defendant, at the t
conclusion of the plaintiff's evidence, t
announced that he desired to intro- e
duce no evidence and rested his case, ^
our verdict would have been the h
same in that event as now returned 1
by us, in favor of the defendant." c
Verdict Brings Applause.
Despite the efforts of bailiffs to
g
maintain order when the last words
Q
of the verdict, "Favor of the defen- .
dant," were read the crowd, which 1
taxed the capacity of the court room, ?
turned into a cheering throng, orderly
but no less determined to give vent ^
to their feelings.
Those displeased by the verdict v
forced their way to the doors and
left in silence amid the bantering of
the senator's friends. g
Senator Gore heard the jury's decision
without change of countenance.
Mrs. Gore was the
first to grasp his hand. When she a
turned and shook hands with Henry n
carpenter, tne ioreuiau, icaxs hcic g
on the cheeks of both herself and the u
aged farmer.
"The verdict confirms my faith v
that truth will triumph," said Sena- t(
tor Gore. "I never for a moment p
doubted the outcome at the hands of ^
the jury." b
From the time the jurors left the a
room to prepare their verdict until v
the demonstration was under way, v
Mrs. Bond sat in silence, leaning on a
a table and scribbling on a piece of ^
paper. v
Appeal to Supreme Court. a
E. J. Giddings, chief of counsel for r
Mrs. Bond, stated to-night that an ap- 1<
peal to the supreme court would be t
taken on the grounds that applause k
and demonstrations in the court f<
room during the trial had influenced v
vthe jury. k
Senator Gore stated that he would h
remain in Oklahoma City until Sat- S
*urday, when he will go to Hot n
.Springs for a short vacation before n
returning to Washington. I
The termination of the trial, which a
lias attracted more attention and has r
been more vigorously contested than E
any held in Oklahoma in recent
-years, came at the end of a day devoted
to argument by opposing coun
jsei, m wmcn WU1U5 WCIC um o
in denouncing witnesses and opposing
parties to the suit.
Robert L. Rogers, of Little Rock,
Ark., of counsel for Senator Gore
made the direct charge that J. F. *
McMurray, a prominent Oklahoma
^ lawyer, now living in Washington, f
^planned the alleged conspiracy .
which the defence declared resulted 11
in the charges that the senator at- n
tempted to assault Mrs. Bond in a e
Washington hotel last March, the 0
basis for the suit.
ti
Allegation of Plaintiff. c
Trial of the suit began last Wednesday.
In her declaration Mrs. v
Bond alleged that the senator attack- ^
ed her while she was in conference
with him at a hotel in Washington ^
last March, in connection with the
r
possible appointment of her husband,
Julian Bond, as internal revenue col- ^
lector at Oklahoma City. Gore seized
her, she alleged, throwing her .
violently across a bed and she freed ^
herself onlv after several men apF
peared in the doorway of the room. p
In the scuffle, Mrs. Bond asserted, ~
* her face was scratched and hand .
* c
lacerated by fragments of her broken
eyeglasses.
In his answer Senator Gore made t
general denial of the charges and as y
a counter charge alleged that the suit p
was instigated by a coterie of his po- J
litical opponents who had failed in <j
their efforts to secure Federal patronage.
Mrs. Bond First Witness. ?
The jury, composed of nine ?
farmers, a grocer, a banker and a s
broker, was obtained on the first day r
of the trial. Mrs. Bond was called
as the first witness after - opening i
statements were made Thursday. Re- I
peating her allegations, she denied I
- - - .1 j i
any knowledge of tlie plot anegea *
by the senator, who is a candidate i
for renomination at the Oklahoma t
primaries next August. Efforts to I
have read depositions dealing with i
alleged incidents in connection with ?
the past of both parties to the suit i
; were prevented by a ruling of Judge t
Clark, who held such evidence not
vital to the suit. \

STORM IN CALIFORNIA.
S
even Laves and Property Damage g(
Estimated at 4 1-2 Millions. t(
h
Los Angeles, Cal., February 21.? ^
Vith a loss of probably more than ^
4,500,000 and a toll of seven human j
ves since Wednesday, Southern
1 t-J
lalifornia to-night began to recover ^
rom the effects of the worst storm
2 its history. With the sun shining
lost of to-day, the situation improv- w
d considerably and while nearly all
f the towns affected remained
solated to-night, progress was made .
oward re-establishing wire and rail
ommunication. . 1
It is estimated that Los Angeles ^
ras damaged to the extent of at least
1,500,000. One hundred and fifty J
V1
housand dollars represented the
amage to city streets alone. The
est represented losses sustained by
ailroads and by citizens whose
omes were sWept away by the floods.
Except in the vicinity of Pomona, o
his county, where young groves suf- a
ered severely, orange growers re- w
lorted comparatively little damage, d
tanches and small farms in the lowands
were inundated, but no reliable g
lata could be obtained as to the a
mount of losses. c
he hotel episode as applicants- for ^
"ederal positions, appeared as the
rincipal witnesses for Mrs. Bond. ^
til were unsuccessful in their canlidacies.
Declared it Was Plot. .
Testifying in his own defence,
lenator Gore characterized the allegations
as "infamous lies," and aserted
that the whole affair was the
esult of the plotting of his political *1
sneinies intended to embarrass him
n his campaign for renomination.
ie declared that Mrs. Bond seized \
lim and at an opportune moment t
lobertson and Fitzpatrick appeared t:
n the room. Other witnesses for g
he defence quoted witnesses for the o
>lainti?f as admitting that a "frame- t
lp" against Senator Gore had been d
irranged and quoted several as hav- c
ng made threats to "get" the Sena- fi
or.
Argument, which began yesterday, A
vas finished at 5.30 o'clock this af- n
ernoon. Ten minutes later the ver- t
lict exonerating Senator Gore was i:
mnounced. c

HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
5 J ?
After Four Tears of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bollock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter
; from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
- writes as follows: "I suffered for four
1 years, with womanly troubles, and during
1 this time, I could only sit up for a little
1 while, and could not walk anywhere at
5 all. At times, I would have severe pains
5 in my left side.
1 The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good;
. 1 had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
J j Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I comI
m#?nrpH takinc it. From the verv first
' dose, I could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
1 tiring me, and am doing my work."
If you are all run down from womanly
' troubles, don't give up in despair. Try
t Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped
. more than a million women, in its 50
years of wonderful success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
: it will do. Ask him. He will recom>
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.
