MANY REGARD AFFAIR AS MYTH Brazilian Police Have Arrested Several Suspects—Ship Sails With Explosives. ’ } Paris, Jan. 22.—Reports cabled from |Rio Janeiro that the Brazilian authori- jties were warned from Paris of a pos- sible attempt to blow up the American battleship fleet while in the harbor there are true. Some time ago certain suspicions in- dicating the existence of a plot to de- stroy the whole or a portion of the fleet, either at Rio Janeiro or in the Straits of Magellan, were aroused here and naturally communicated to Rio and Washington. A chartered steamer was reported to have conveyed explosives for the use of the conspirators to Rio Janeiro, arriving there about the middle of De- vember, and John Fedher, whose name is mentioned in the Rio dispatches, was one. of the men whose names were revealed here as implicated in ;the conspiracy. i Startling but Weak. The alleged plot is supposed to have startling ramifications, but the evidence along this line is far trom conclusive and rests chiefly upon the statement of an individual whose record was subsequently proved to be anything but creditable. Consequently the whole affair is regarded with much skepticism and indeed the presumption has been raised that it may have been a deliberately conceived scare. In any event it is now believed here that if the plot actually did exist the timely warning and precautions taken have completely frustrated the plans of the conspirators at Rio Janeiro and compelled them to transfer their oper- ations further south, if not to abandon them entirely. The latter hypothesis ls considered here to be the most prob- able, Only a few people here treated the story seriously; others regarded it as fantastic, while many dismissed the whole affair as a myth. Vague and Indefinite. Washington, Jan. 21. — That the American government was cognizant of the existence of the belief of ulte- rior designs against Admiral Evans’ battleships in the harbor of Rio Janei- ro was admitted yesterday in admin- istration circles. The news first reached here’ by way of Paris. where somebody communicated it to the American ambassy. The intimations contalnead were vague and indefinite as to details, yet in view of the great importance of the matter and the possibilities which might develop were the officials on the scene not informed, no time was lost In transmitting it to Rio Janeiro. Police Find Clues. | Rio Janeiro, Jan. 22.—There were further complications yesterday, ac- cording to the local police, in the ef- forts being made to unearth the per- sons responsible for the alleged plot to destroy part of the American fleet now in this harbor, Several arrests have been made. The band which is supposed to have organized the plot is made up of for signers. Fleet Officers Attend Banquet.

IS LYNCHED; MAY LIVE. Negro Is Taken From Tree by Sheriff and May Recover. Dothan, Ala., Jan. 22. — The negro, Grover Franklin, who Sunday night was taken away from Sheriff Butler and his deputies and hanged to a tree, is again in the hands of the law and stands a chance of recovery. The mob Sunday night was so closely followed by the officers and law-abiding citi- zens, determined if possible to avert the lynching, that they did not have time to get their victim outside the corporate limits, and hurriedly string- ing him up to the first tree and think- ing they had riddled him with bullets, they fled. On the arrival of the officers the negro was still alive and was im- mediately cut down and placed in the rounty jail. It is thought he will re- eover. Burglars Rob Depot.

Paraly- vig was the cause, “Attempt Exclude Public and Also in Effort to Block Evelyn's | Testimony. New York, Jan. 22. — Mrs. Evelyn Tnaw told her story yesterday for the second time. The repetition lacked the vitality of the first recital. Justice Dowling ruled that he found no war- rant in the law for closing the doors against the public, and there was great clamor for admittance. District Attor- ney Jerome, failing in his move to ex- elude spectators, took occasion when it came his turn to cross-examine the witness to bring out all of the details of the first trial which Mr. Littleton of the defense had omitted on his direct examination. Jerome Is Overruled. Mr. Jerome also sought to block Mrs. Thaw’s testimony in its entirety on the ground that a conversation which occurred three years before the trag- edy could not have any bearing on Thaw’s mental condition on the night of the homicide. Justice Dowling over- ruleq the objection, Mrs. Thaw’s story was broken into bits by constantly repeated objections from the prosecution, who sought to exclude all details on the ground of immateriality. The frequent objections led Judge Dowling to request Mr. Lit- tleton to cut his examination as short as possible. Reads Former Testimony. Mr. Littleton took this course only to find that on cross-examination Mr. Jerome insisted upon reading from last year’s record nearly every word the witness had then uttered. He did this under the privilege of framing new questions. Mr. Littleton objected to it, declar- ing that the district attorney, by read- ing the former testimony in a disagree- able manner, was trying to discredit the witness in the eyes of the jury when he could not discredit her in any way by a direct question. Jerome Yells Questions, Contempt characterized most of the questions Jerome put to the witness, whom he attacked in the loudest voice he has yet used at the trial. Mr. Je- rome plunged at once into the more intimate details of the testimony and made no delicate choice of words in framing his interrogations. Mr. Littleton’s objections on the ground of “offensiveness and impro- priety” were sustained by the court. Mrs. Thaw matched wits against Dis- trict Attorney Jerome as skillfully as she did a year ago. Tells of Attempted Suicide. But one new feature appeared in the testimony of the witness. This was when she told about Thaw swallowing the contents of a bottle of laudanum at Monte Carlo in 1904 in an atteinpt to end his life. Previously to this, at the Grand hotel in New York, Thaw had talked of suicide, his wife de- elared, and had suggested that she also should take poison, as both their lives had been ruined. Mrs. Thaw said she humored Thaw at the time and di- verted his mind. She was out of the room when he finally took the poison in Europe. TO DRAG OUT BACHELORS.

Hh ‘STORY 10 HARRY in Evidence Which Corrob- orates Claim of Wife. CROSS-EXAMINATION 1S ENDED Jerome and Evelyn Have Several Lively Tilts—Defense Is Nearing ' End of Its Case. New York, Jan. 22.—District Attor- ney Jerome’s. long ard severe cross- examination of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw at the trial of her husband came to an end late yesterday. The attor- neys for the defense then succeeded in placing in evidence a letter written by the defendant in the fall of 1903 which completely corroborated the claim that the girl who was to become his wife did tell him the story of her vela- tions with Stanford White much as she has. related it upon the stand at this and the former trial. Corroborates Evelyn. This letter was one of a dozen which were read to the jury tending to corroborate young Mrs. Thaw’s tes- timony and as further tending to show the effect of her story upon the de- fendant’s mind. Some of the writings were addressed to Mr, Longfellow, Thaw’s forem at- torney, and others had been sent to him to be delivered to Miss Nesbit. They all contained Many references to the girl’s history and to her experi- ence, and in the letters intended for the young woman Thaw constantly be- spoke his love and respect for her. The first letter Mr. Littleton read yesterday was a repetition, largely, in the defendant’s own words, of the story the Nesbit girl says she told him in Paris in 1903. Several Lively Tilts. Mr, Jerome was much quieter in his handling of young Mrs. Thaw on the stand yesterday and his voice lacked the high, hard pitch which filled the court room Monday -afternoon. The cross-examination resolved itself for a time into a verbal battle between prosecutor and witness, and there were several lively tilts which ended only when Justice Dowling took a hand. The defense hopes to colse its case by Friday night. A week later Thaw’s fate should be in the hands of the jury. REMARRIED AT AGE OF 73.
