In the hone of effecting some sort of
reconciiation with the judicially de
clared mad man.
Thaw listened with twitching face
and roving eyes to the lawyer, watcnea
his wire, who sat with downcast head.
And, then as the conviction of the
truth of the story of her misdoings
came over hUn. the madness leaped to
him again, and he sprang upon nis

Xvelyn la Hysterics.
Evelyn was carried into a reception
room, where she gave way to hysterica.
At the time her excitement was said to
be due to the shock of seeing Harry sur
rounded by gibbering maniacs. Later,
however, when she visited her physician,
she related just what had happened and
confessed that if Harry ever was set
free he would seek her out to kill her.
On April 1 the young woman will be
driven from the handsome mansion on
Park avenue her husband rented for
her. The lease runs out then and will
not be renewed. She will be allowed to
remain there only till negotiations with
her mother-in-law are concluded.
It was not until after the young mil
lionaire was sent to Matteawan that he
was told of his wife's alleged miscon
duct while he waited in prison between
first and second trials. It waa
feared that a revelation of such charac-

CLEVER FORGER IS

CAUGHT
RISCO
(United Press Lcated Wire.)
Ban Franclaco, March 13. That they
have made the catch of the season was
the belief of the police today after they
had made a preliminary examination of
11. Mortimer Wilson alias George H.
Longworthy, and some four or five
other names.
Wilson waa arrested yesterday after
noon at the St. Francis hotel, where he
and his wife had been occupying, an
elegant suite, and today was accused
by the police with uttering worthless
checks for amounts ranging Into the
thousands.
The check branded as forged was
signed with the signature of Governor
Curtis Guild Jr., of Massachusetts. A
large amount of private and official
stationery of the governor's was found
in Wilson's effects, and has led the
police to make Inquiries Into his Boston
antecedents. Wilson says he was a
former secretary to the governor, but
the police believe he may nave occupied
an even more Important position.
