Abraham Hummel and Howard
Nesbit to Be Subpoenaed.
Increased Rates on Grain Train Went
Over Embankment John Alexander
Dowle's Funeral Telephone Merger
Stayed -- Perkins Pays Back Insur
ance Money Adams Jury Disagreed.
Court proceedings Friday occupied
less than Ave minutes and District At
torney Jerome returned at once to his
office and began preparing for his re
buttal testimony. Almost his first
move was to have a subpoena served
upon Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw requir
ing her to produce In court any letters
she may have In her possession writ
ten by Stanford White.
District Attorney Jerome doubtless
will again summon Abraham Hummel
to the Bland to testify as to the affida
vits Evelyn Nesbit is alleged to have
signed, changing Thaw with cruelties
because she "would not tell lies" about
Stanford White. The prosecutor at
tempted to Introduce this testimony by
interrupting young Mrs. Thaw's narra
tive, but the testimony was barred at
that time. Mr. Jerome believes that
upon rebuttal Justice Fitzgerald will
allow him a much wider latitude than
was granted on cross-examination.
Howard Nesbit was with the dis
trict attorney on Friday and It is said
that he will be called to the stand to
testify that his sister told him Thaw
treated her cruelly while she was
abroad In 1901! because she again
"would not tell lies about Stanford
White." Mr. Jerome hopes that
through the brother he can corrobor
ate the testimony he expects to elicit
from Abraham Hummel, 'the latter be
ing under Indictment at the present
time for alleged subornation of per
iury iii the Dodge-Morse divorce case.
. Despite Mr. Jerome's hope for a ter
mination of this long-drawn-out case
within the next week, few of those
who have kept track of the trial are
willing to hazard a prediction that the
end is less than two weeks away.
Many rumors were current of a ser
.oii8 estrangement between the de
fendant's family and his wife, and of
the reported desire of the former to
bring about a separation of the young
couple In the event of a verdict ac
quitting Thaw of the charge of mur
der. It has also been a matter of com
ment that Inasmuch as two experts
have declared Thaw was insane tit
the time of his marriage, the cere
mony might be declared void anl
annulled. Under such circumstances
the will and codicil, in which Mrs.
Thaw Is left the main portion of her
husband's estate, would also be void
Increased Grain Rates.
Announcement was made by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company of the
new rates on lake grain shipments
which will become effective with the
opening of navigation April 15.
The rates agreed upon, which will
go Into effect at Buffalo April 15, are
as follows:

The trunk line traffic officials have
not arranged the commodity freight
rates, but the rates on manufactured
Iron have been increased about 30
cents per ton. The minimum rate in
classified freight, it is announced, will
be changed so as to increase the
weight of carloads from 30,000 to 40,
000. Train Went Over Embankment.
Train No. 33 oa the Western New
York & Pennsylvania division of the
Pennsylvania railroad was wrecked on
Wednesday night between Irvlneton
and Warren, Pa. The train plunged
over a 25-foot embankment and nine
persons were Injured, none fatally.
The train was running behind a
freight from Irvlneton to Warren and
when three-quarters of a mile from
Warren the freight ran onto a siding
to allow the passenger train to pass.
After the freight was on the siding
the passenger started through the
switch, which is set from a tower
about a quarter of a mile away. The
switch was not entirely closed and
two cars were thrown from the rails
and down an embankment into a pond.
Near the railroad track runs a pipe
line of the Pennsylvania Gas company,
carrying 200 pounds pressure. This
line was broken and the coaches filled
with natural gas. There were four
passengers in the rear coach which
turned completely over and they nar
rowly escaped suffocation by gas
fumes. Had the lamps In the coaches
been lighted an explosion would have
taken place.
Telephone Merger Stayed.
That a contract was entered into be
tween the United States Independent
Telephone Co. of Rochester and the
American Telephone & Telegraph Co.
whereby the stock and securities of
the former were to be transferred to
the latter; that the New Jersey Trust
company was the authorized agent of
the so-called Bell Telephone company
to conduct the negotiations, and that
the transfer would have been oonsum
matsd lata In February had it nol
been stopped by the injunction pro
ceedlngs begun by Attorney Genera!
JackBon, were among the disclosures
at the hearing before Joseph A Law
son Albany.
The investigation is for the pur
pose of ascertaining whether the pro
posed transfer of stock would be in
violation of the anti-trust law of thlt
state. A copy of the contract of sale
was admitted in evidence.
Adjournment was taken until March
18 at the office of the attorney gen
son of Albany.

ATTACKS WIFE'S STORY.
Mr. Jerome Greatly Hampered
by Rules of Evidence.
District Attorney Tried to Show by Dr.
Rudolph Witthaus That There Is
No Poison Known to Science That
Would Cause the Effects Described
In Mrs. Thaw's Evidence.
New York, March 12. On the first
day of the state's rebuttal in the trial
of Harry K. Thaw District Attorney
Jerome came to a temporary stand
still against the practically solid wall
he rules of evidence have built around
the story of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. Mr.
Jerome began to attack this story as
soon as court opened.
There ensued a well-nigh incessant
fight between the prosecutor and Del
phln M. Delmns, leading counsel for
the defense, at the end of which Jus
tice Fitzgerald upheld the rule laid
down at the beginning of the trial
that young Mrs. Thaw's story is admis
sible only as tending to show the ef
fect it might have had In unbalancing
the defendant's mind and that its
truth or falsity is immaterial.
Mr. Jerome tried to avoid this rule
by declaring that he was endeavoring
merely to show by Inference, by cir
cumstantial evidence as to details of
the story, that Mrs. Thaw could not
possibly have told the story to her
husband. Although he will doubtless
be blocked by the same rule when the
time comes, it is said that he may at
tempt in the Bame way to prove an
allb for Stanford White on the night
he is alleged to have maltreated young
Miss Nesbit.
Nine-tenths of the day's sessions
were spent in arguments and in nearly
every instance Mr. Delmas won his
point as to the law, while Mr. Jerome
in the arguments got before the Jury
a knowledge of what his witnesses
would have testified to had they been
permitted. The district attorney call
ed 10 witnesses during the day, but
aside from obtaining from the state's
eye-witnesses to the tragedy the opin
ions that Thaw seemed rational the
night he shot and killed Stanford
White, little real headway was made.
Ethel Thomas' Suit Against Thaw.
Lining up all his forces in rebuttal,
Mr. Jerome decided to open his fight
upon the defense by attacking the
story told the jury by Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw. He called to the stand Freder
ick Longfellow and asked him first
about the case in which Ethel Thomas
is alleged to have sued Thaw for dam
ages because of crueltreatnient. Mr.
Delmas objected to questions along
this line under the professional privi
lege of lawyer and client, but before
Justice Fitzgerald sustained the ob
jection and ruled out the evidence, Mr.
Jerome declared:
"The story of the girl tied to the
bedpost and whipped by Thaw is the
story of Ethel Thomas. This poor girl
is now dead." Here Mr. Delmas In
terposed an objection to the district at
torney's remarks and the latter began
an attack along different line.
He showed Mr. Longfellow the pho
tographic copy of the affidavit Evelyn
Nesbit is said to have signed in the of
fice of Abraham Hummel alleging
that Thaw treated her cruelly while
abroad in 1903 because she "would not
tell lies against Stanford White." Mr.
Jerome followed this up by asking the
witness if Mrs. Thaw did not turn over
to him certain papers to which she
had subscribed. Mr. Longfellow said
she had. There was a long contro
versy between Mr. Jerome and Mr.
Delmas, at the conclusion of which Mr.
Longfellow brought his entire exam
ination to naught by declaring that
Mrs. Thaw never showed him a paper
similar In any way to the Hummel affi
davit. He thereupon was excused
without cross-examination.
Police officers who saw Thaw the
night of the tragedy declared he acted
rationally.
"More Rational Than Irrational."
Captain Hodglns of the "Tender
loin" precinct qualified his answer to
the question by saying only that "for
a man who had just committed mur
der, Thaw acted rationally." This
was stricken out and he then said:
"Well, his eyes had a stare and a gaze
such as they show as I now look at
them." This answer also was stricken
tut and finally the captain declared:
"Well, he seemed more rational
than irrational and that's the best
answer I can give you."
Many of the witnesses called by the
state during the presentation of the
case in chief were recalled. All de
clared Thaw seemed to them to be ra
tional. During the afternoon recess Mr. Jer
ome sprung something of a sensation
by calling to the stand Dr. Rudolph
Witthaus, a chemist and expert In
poisons. The district attorney framed
a hypothetical question covering Eve
lyn Nesbit's description of her night
with Stanford White in the 24th street
studio house and asked If there was
any known poison which would cause
insensibility in two minutes and per
mit the quick recovery testified to by
Thaw's wife.
Around this vital point, which wound
up means by which the prosecutor
could attack the truth or falsity of
Mrs. Thaw's story, argument raged for
an hour or more. Mr. Jerome pleaded
wi h Justice Fitzgerald at great length.
Mr. Jerome Insisted that he was not
attacking the truth of the story. He
W8 3 calling for an expert opinion, he
bsi erted, to the effect that no known
drug would produce the effect testified
to by Mrs. Thaw.
MATERIAL EVIDENCE OF SOUL.
Physicians Claim to Have Demonstrat
ed Its Existence.
Boston, March 12. His curiosity
aroused while present at the bedside
of dying patients, Dr. Duncan Mac
dougall of Haverhill, Mass., aided by
four physicians of high professional
standing, has been for the past six
years In a private Banitarlum near Bos
ton, conducting experiments to discov
er the existence or non-existence of a
"soul" In the human body.
As concrete results, It Is claimed the
mysterious human soul has at last
been catalogued upon scientific princi
ples, just as is the heart and all vital
organs of the body, as an actual, ma
terial thing; that when this soul flits'
from the body it diminishes the weight
of the body by a certain measur
able amount, and that this amount can
be weighed In actual pounds or frac
tions of pounds.
The difference between the weight
of the live human body and the body a
moment after death, or when the soul
has quitted it, was found to he from
one-half ounce to one ounce; and to
this, it Is said, there can be no other
possible solution except that it is the
weight of the human soul.
In every case the loss was shown
after all known scientific deductions,
such as the loss of air, of moisture and
of all excretions and secretions of the
body, has been taken into considera
tion. The method of finding this result
was to place the dying patient in bed
upon one of the platforms of a pair of
scales made expressly for the experi
ments, with an equal weight In the op
posite platform.
These scales were so delicately con
structed as to be sensitive to a weight
of less than one-tenth of an ounce.
In every case when the soul was set
free by death the platform opposite
the one in which lay the subject of
the test foil suddenly just as naturally
would have happened If a weight had
been taken from the opposing bal
ance. The figures on the dial Index
indicated the diminution in weight.
Fined For Selling Diseased Meat.
Burlington, Vt., March 12. The
Consolidated Rendering company,
which owns and operates the Burling
ton Rendering company's plant here,
pleaded guilty In the Chittenden coun
ty court to four indictments charging
it with selling and having in its pos
session diseased meat. It was fined a
total of $3,000 costs. The Indictments
contained 400 counts, to 34 of which
the company pleaded guilty. The re
maining counts with the Indictments
on similar charges returned by the
grand jury against L. E. Brigam, man
ager of the Burlington plant, will be
quashed upon the payment of the fines
imposed.
Told Where His Body Would Be Found
Utica, Jan, 12.John Celestie, an Ital
ian in Herkimer, left a letter under his
pillow saying he was going to commit
suicide, told where his body would be
found and advised the person who
should go to receive it to take a wit
ness for fear he would be charged with
murder. When the lot which he in
dicated was visited, Celestie was
found wounded. He died, not know
ing where to locate his heart and had
fired too low.
Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument.

prison ship martyrs' monument award
ed the contract to a Brooklyn construc
tion company. The price fill be $172,
000 and the monument will be erected
In Fort Green Park, Brooklyn. It was

lan. Saw Cuts Man Nearly In Two.
Oxford, Conn., March 12. Stephen
Sterjam slipped and fell across a log

ery was stopped. The saw tore
