SEW YORK. Jan. 21-Evelyn Thaw's
eve re cross-examination came to. an
cad late today. Attorneys for the de
fence then introduced evidence written
hy the defendant in 1903, which com
pletely corroborated the claim that the
girl did tell him the story of her rela
tions with Stanford White. Thia letter
was one of down read to the jury to
corroborate young Mrs. Thaw's testi
mony and to show the effect of her
tory on Thaw's mind. Jerome's objec
tions "were overruled as Thaw himself
had made waiver of confidential rela

Frederick W. Longfellow, his former
attorney, appeared ou the stand to
identify the letters. The letters all
referred to the young woman's history
and spoke of her in the highest temii

and incoherent. Tomorrow Thaw's will

BRYAN IN KENTUCKY.
Chicago to the Front With a Regula-i
tion Sensation.
CHICAGO, Jan. 21. Floating in the
Tk at the foot of Sixtieth street the
tody of a woman was found yesterday.
The body was almost headless and there ,
was no clothing. An attempt will be
made Way to ascertain whother she
drewned or was thrown into the water,
after being murdered. The lack of
clothing is believed to indicate murder.
Two clean cuts were found directly
nder the heart. These cuts, the police
assert, could not have been made by the
iee of anything other than a knife or
some sharp instrument. A gash nine
inches long was also found across the
abdomen. A few wisps of blond hair
were found on the back of the neck
which aid in indentication.
The body 'which was that of a woman
weighing about 135 pounds had jirobab
ry been in the water for two months.
It is estimated that she was about five
feet four inches in height and between
25 and 35 yearn old. The hands are
mall and the musiclea soft 'which leads
the police to believe that the woman
was of the leisure class. ,
FRAKKF0RT, Ky, Jan. 21.-The
climax of Bryan's isit to Frankfort
was reached thia afternoon when he
spoke to the Democratic members of the
legislature behind closed doors, advocat
ing the election of Beckham as United
States Senator. Bryan said that neither
Beckham nor anyone else invited him
to Frankfort. He declared he had no
fears for himself if he came to Ken
tucky. "I am not afraid of hurting myself
when the interests of the Democratic
party are at stake," said Bryan. He
said that he might or might not be a
candidate for the Presidency this year.
"If what I say here affects my chances
of election, it is not a sufficient bribe to
keep my mouth closed, and I 'am in
the habit of saying what I think and
letting every man in the world think of
it as he pleases."
Bryan -said he had come to support
the Democratic nominee and if Mc
Crecry were nominee he would be here
to speak for him. He said he was here
because he thinks the Democrats have
a good chance winning this year, and
whoever may be the Democratic standard-bearer,
Bryan says he knows it
take a Democratic Senate and House to
back him up. He declared that all the
popularity of the Republican President
has come from the adoption of Demo
cratic principles and reformj He said he
could not depend on having a Demo
cratic Senate as it takes an overwhelm
ing victory to get that body, but may
get the House and eeure enough votes
in the Senate to secure Democratic re
forms. "On vote of one Senator may rest
his fate on Democratic reforms."

FREIGHT RATES INCREASED.
CHICAGO, Jan. 21 Just why Chicago,
Minneapolis and Xorthwest merchants
hould find their freight rates increased
under variou pretest, while at the
ame time, no change in rates was made
in St. Louis to the merchants of the
Southwest, occupied he attention of In
terstate Commerce Commissioner
Ptouty yesterday. The case, which is
recorded' a that of Wyman, Partridge &
Company, liinneapli. wholesale dry
goods dealers, versus the Boston and
.Maine. Xew York, New Haven A Hart
ford, Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley, and
the Lackawanna with the lake shipping
lines which they either own or control,
received its initial bearing. At the end
of the day Commissioner Prouty ad
journed the hearing until March. The
baia of the complaint which is being
brought by llinnea polls and Chicago
merchants, with the support of the
commercial associations of both cities,
rises out of the increase of the rail and
water rates inaugurated in March and
July of Iat year. The old freight rate
for rail and water routes was 59 cents.
In March all routes joined in increasing
the rate to Chicago nd Minneapolis
merchants to 01 cents and followed in
July with another announced increase
of 1 per cent.
To mollify the shippers the companies
announced that the rate would include
marine insurance on all goods in transit.
But while they made this concession to
Chicago merchants as a basis of the
extra three cents, they made the same
concession to St. Louis merchants with
no increase in the freight, rate. The
hearing before the comtnissoner on the
charge that discrimination to individ
uals and as between localities was being
nuule by the transportation companies
resulted.

claring the law unconstituional. Coupled
with this the President expects to say
something about the general subject
of rtnsts the exact nature of which is
