She told of allleged acts of his between 1902 and 1905, when he was a young bachélor about New York, before the tragedy on the” Madison are Garden roof that resulted in his being placed in the state asylum for the criminal insane, from which he is now trying to escape by proving himself sane. . $25,000 Silence Money. Her testimony was in marked con- trast to that of two alienists who went on the stand today and ~ave iw a clean bill of mental health. Her testimony was that during the three years named she kept in suec- cession two New York lodging houses where Thaw rented rooms under as- sumed names gnd to which he brought at various ti more thdn 200 girls. After Thaw’s imprisonment, she said she pald these women at least $25,000 as the price of their silence and to “keep them from bothering Thaw’s wife or his mother.” One of them, she said, who passed as Thaw's wife, received $7,000. Pearl-Handled Whip Produced. At this point in the testimony, a ysterious package which was brought court yesterday by Clifford W.

MRE. SUTTON IS MADE COMPLAINANT IN THE CASE. Inquiry Adjourned Until Arrival of Lieutenant Utley from Abroad. Anpapolis, Md., July 27.—The rather 'ormal inquiry which- & naval board a week agd into the circum- stances -of the tragic death of Lieut. James N. Sutton of the marine corps suddenly assumed a much more formal chara today, when the government laced If on the defensive and ruled t Mrs. James N. Sutton, mother of the young lieutenant, was complainant #n the case and direct accuser of sev- eral officers of the marine corps. The government's sudden change of ttitude came at the suggestion of jor Leonard, judge advocate of the Thaw, she said, has posed as a theat- rical agent and had lured the girls to his rooms with promises of en- gagements. When she remonstrated with him, she testified, his excuse was that thé girls “weren’t smart enough and could not fill their positions, and deserved a beating” She testified fur- ther that Thaw had frequently behav- ed in a violent' manner in her pres- ence and that she considered his acts irrational. Y. jercely , Attacked on Cross Exa ] Witness. District. Attorhey William Travers Jerome hagd full charge of the case for the state/today, and it was he who bi estimony arry Thaw. Mre. Merrill's y was stoppea when Mr, Je- rome-intimated that it might injure innocent persons. WUnder cross exami- nation by Charles Morschauser, coun- sel for Thaw, the witness was attacked fiercely. He succeeded in bringing out the fact that she had recently been ar- rested on a charge of perjury after an unsuccessfyl suit to recover $100,000 damages m a man. The woman emphatically denled that she kept any of the money that passed from Thaw through her hands. ¥ “Then why did this from Mr. Thaw schauser. “Oh, I felt sorry for him,” was her answer. H Evelyn in Court but Was Not Called. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw slipped quietly into court during the proceedings to- day, but did not testify. She smiled at Thaw several times during the aft- ;m“"’ but he paid nc attention to er. u stand for all asked Mr. Mor- Alienists Testify for Thaw. Aside from the Merrill woman’s tes- timony, the .alienists took up the re. mainder of the proceedings and testi- fied in Thaw's behalt When D. Brit- ton D. Evans, who made a report two years ago declaring Thaw insane, sald today that he had reversed this opin- ion, “this gave Mr. Jerome an oppor- tunity for telling cross examination. He brought out the wide divergence of the expert's opinion two years ago and now, but Dr. Evans was quick to explain that the report made two years ago was for the private suffllnfl -of Thaw's attorneys and had econtained only such medi evidence as would tend to support the contention that ‘Thaw was insane at that time. ‘Ha Thaw himself may take the stand tomorrow. - - BLACK SPOT ‘WITH COMET TAIL CROSSING THE SUN'S FACE.

Hartford, ‘July 27.-The senate this morning _passed the bill which will make the charter of the Willimantic and Southbridge street railway com- pany good for the next two years, if the company starts to build within a little less than that time. The spe- cific extension of the charter in ‘the bill is to November 1, 1910, and if the power to “purchase, acquire, receive, hold, possess and enjoy, and to sell, grant, lease, convey and dispose ofs! lands, rents, franchises, hereditaments, mills, manufacturies, water rights and mill sites, and all kinds of electrical apparatus used for the purpoese of gen- erating, conducting and distributing electricity.” The company-is author- ized to sell electricity for light, power | p or heat to any company now in oper- ation in Killingly or any of the ad- joining towns or to any company which may, be hereafter organized to do business in that territory or for the purpose of conducting an electric railway, but is not authorized to itself sell or distribute power, light or heat the adjoining towns. , For the purpose of selling its elec- tricity to another concern it may use any highway in Killingly or the other towns for its tranmission lines. Its capital stock begins at $5,000, but may be. increased to $100,000. It is to have not less than three nor more than nine directors. Onme section in the charter gives the right to issue .bonds or full- paid stock at par value in addiiton to the $100,000 capital stock to pay' for construction an¢ equipment of fts plant.

Smooth and Graceful Ascent. There was an evident sluggishness in the ascent as compared with those when Wright flies alone, but the ma- chine arose smoothly and gracefully, nevertheless, and when she veered around, careening at an angle which seemed perilous to the onlookers, to makes her northward flight along the Arlington cemetery boundary line, it was as a height of nearly sixty feet, and never after that was there any possible question of her buoyancy and equipose. Round and round she. went seventy-four times about the great drill ground, four thousand feet in cir- cumference, they say, sometimes in shorter corners, but usually out at the edges of the boundary, at a bheight varying but slightly, save where some stray current of air from bttween the trees or buildings' rocked her up and down or from side to side, like a boat in a gentle sea. Excitement Was Intense. As the hour drew .to its close, ex- citement became intense. A thousand watches were out and eagerly scanned.
