A story is published to -day to the
effect that George Pollock, formerly hall
boy at the San Jacinto apartments, has
supplied evidence to support his conten-
tion in an affidavit in which he alleged
that White on four occasions followed
Mrs. Thaw to the home of Mattie For-

rieepeatedly tried to intercept her. Mrs.

Mrs. Thaw on the Stand.
When the trial of Harry K. Thaw for
the murder of Stanford 'White was re-
sumed this morning before Justice Fitz-
gerald in the Supreme Court, District
Attorney Jerome continued with his
Oross-examination of Evelyn Nesbitt
Thaw. She was immediately called to
the stand, and without any preliminary
statement the prosecutor plunged into
his work.
Mrs. Thaw looked refreshed after her
three days' respite, and answered the
first questions put to her confidently.
Thaw brought with hint from the Tombs
several packages of letters and papers.
"How lona after the drugging in the
24th street long

count was opened for you in the .Am-
terda,m Bank by Stanford White?" A.—
"I can't tell how long; it might have
been a month."
"When did you first meet Frances
Belmont?" A.—"When I was in Floro-
dora."
"Before you met Stanford White?"" A.
—"I think so."
"Had you gone to supper with Frances
Belmont before you met White?"
Mr. Jerome continued to hold the men-
ace of documentary evidence before the
witness, basing all his questions evident-
eg ly upon eller:Lofts inade by the girl's
mother and brother.
"No." She had gone to several suppers
with Frances Belmont afterwards, but
White was present at all of them except,
one.
Mr. Jerome asked the witness if she
had not often gone to supper with two
men whose rames he whispered to her.
A.—"I never went with_ them, but they
were present."
"Did they not on some occasions take

The Prince Consort, after his first
visit to the wreck, when hesaw that
there were some Survivors on board,
declared: "We won't return to The
Hague before we save them; we must
get them. somehow."
A rumor that this determination had
been, fulfilled reached the waiting crowds
this afternoon, and a pilot confirmed
the glad tidiugs. There was then it
wild rush of the people to the varioue
points of vantage overlooking the haie
bor, It was well that a special force
of police and soldiem had been brought
into Hook for duty, because the ex-
cited crowd ae one time threatenea to
become uncontrollable. Long hears of

people began to doubt the truth of the
report that ten persona had been saved,
but finally the steam pilot boat herald-
ed her approach with piercing shrieks of
triumph with her siren.

with people. The roofs of all houses
and sheds were crowded, while along

Two women and a child, who had re-

make fast a rope to the breakwater and

OLD SOLDIER'S DEATH.
His Body Frozen Stiff Near

Calgary, Alta., Feb. 24.—The body of a

From discharge papers found on the

in the Strathcona Horse, and was at-
tested to at Winnipeg on February 9
1900. He was granted an honorable dis
charge at Capec'Town on the 19th of Feb

at that place being that he wished to

DIED IN Tilt ELECTR/C CHAIR.
Ossining, N. Y., Feb. as.—Geo. Granger, aged es, was put to death is
the electric chair at Sing *Sing Prison this morning. His crime was the slur -
der of a farmer, Charles Lutz, in Duchess county, in zoos. The eleobrid cur.
rent was applied three tizzies before Granger was blared dead.
A CH.RISTIAN SCIENTIST.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Feb. 24, --George Granger is the first among ow
demned men in, the Sta te of New York to go to the electric chair at Sing
Sing Prison, a convert to Christian Science. Mrs. Charles IL Hickolr, a pro-
minent member of the Christian Science sect, in Poughkeepsie, is responsible
for Granger's change of heart. She has visited him frequently since his
conviction. To -day before leaving Ossining, Mrs. Hickok said that she had re-
- ceived a letter from Granger written on Friday night, in which he gave no
: intimation that he knew he was about to die. The letter, she aid, was a
– beautiful one, filled with. hope. She did not care to give it out for public's-
: tion, but said that in it the young man declared he had. no fear of anything
that might come now, and that he was prepared to meet death unflinchingly.
I "Granger," continued Mrs. Hickok, "has learned of a higher Genii elf
life than that of mere physical exisLende. My teachings have euetained azul
buoyed him for long months, and he has come to realize that there is Rothe
ing in death but the mere passing of the spirit. He has assured me of his
faith and belief in this time and again."
She said if Granger so desired. she would accompany him to the cher.
WHO PAUL GRANGER WAS.
Ossining, N. Y., Feb. 25.—Paul Granger was a. child of the New York
slums. He was left an orphan by the death of his mother when he was five
years old. He spent some time in a charitable institution, and then went
forth to fight the battle of life in his own way. For years the Lower Bow-
ery was his home, and there he lived until the winter of 1904, when he
obtained employment with a travellinz theatrical company. When turned
adrift at the close of the season he got a place on the Lutz farm in Pawling
but remained there only a few days.
Early in the morning after he left the farm he laid in wait for Luta as
the farmer drove toward town in his milk wagon, and shot him. in the back,
killing him instantly. He fled with $70, which he had taken from his
victim's pockets, but was soon arrested, and made a complete confeeisioa.

County Council steamboat was inecribed:
"One man, one boat.
"Down with the wastrels I” was__the
cry most frequently heard among the
cheering multitudes. The enthusiasm was
greatest iu Trafalgar Square, which was
literally peeked,. many thousands being
unable to get within earshot of Nelson's
monument, wbich was need as it roe-
trum.
There were speeches by half it dozesi
members of the House of Commons and
leaders of the Municipal Reform party,
and the meeting adopted a resolution
setting forth that "this mass meeting of
London ratep.ayers indignantly protests
against the increasing burden of rates

party, and pledges itself to exert every
effort to turn the wastrels out on March

cipal reform.
London is now plastered from end to
end with election posters and cartoons,
and it is no exaggeration to say that
public interest in the pending campaign
surpasses that in it national election.
This augurs well for the reform move-
ment, for if a heavy vote is east nothing
can prevent the overwhelming defeat of
the party which has controlled muhicipal
affairs for the last eighteen years.
Municipal ownership, it should be re-
membered, is the sole issue involved asd.
it is upon the first great end thorough
test. of tbis poliey that London will pass
judgment it week hence.
