'drs. Platte' Gets Word from Tom,


to be Il wife of Senator Platte of
New York, and from whom she
is seeking absolute divorce, says
that she is not asking for alimOny
but clear bill for freedom from
the marriage yoke. The follow
ing associated Press dispatch
from New York under date of
the 18th inst, gives Senator
Plates side of the story:
United States Senator Platt
made formal denial today that
,he ever married Mae c.. Wood,
;Wfo is suing him for divorce, al
1egng that she was married to
the senator November ., 1901.
slhe denial was made in applica-
fion in court today by his attor-
neys, asking for authority to
examine certain papers in the
case.
( The senator in his petition
asserted that she had never
made claim to him of such
] marriage until December "A,
HQ6, but had tried to extort
honey from him. More than
hrec years after the date on
Ehich she asserts she was mar
ned to him, the senator averred,
She was threatening to sue him
for breach of promise and re-
tnined a law firm of Richmond,
Virginia, to act for her.
THE senator submitted copy
OF a letter from the firm written
to him in January, 1905, in which
they announced that Miss Mae
G Wood had employed them to
prosecute her clrim for damages
f6a' breach of promise and alleg-
ea conspiracy eliminating in
New York in 1903, by which she
asserted that she was compelled
I'd surrender certain letters writ
tlH to her by Senator Platt.
m the fall Of 1906, the sella,
tor asserted, Miss Wood brought
two suits against him in Omaha,
in which the allegations were
absolutely inconsistent with her
present claim of marriage.
These suits, he said, were brought
to gain notoriety and to extort
money from him. Both suits
were dismissed.
THE senator alluded to publ
cations of what purported to be
a marriage certificate which, he
said, had been mutilated by cut,
ting away the part that should
have contained the name of the
man who otficiated."
Mrs. Wood has negatives of
photographed letters purporting
to have been written to her by
the senator, which she displayed
to The Grit-Advocate Monday,
and they contained considerable
affection coming from such an
old codger. One of these letters
was republished in a Denver
newspaper the other day. a
photo of her marriage certificate
was also shown. Justice Ford
gave until yesterday for Platt's
alleged wife to produce a letter
he is said to have written last
December, in which he admitted
that she was his legal wife.
Mrs. Wood continues to super
intend the erection Of her new
buildings over at the ranch and
enjoy the notoriety these publ
cations occasion.

HIGH OFFICIAL NOT GUILTY.
Effort to Convict Central Vice Prcsi

By direction of Justice Kellogg, sit ting in the criminal branch of the su- preme court, the jury in the case of Albert H. smith rendered. verdict oI not guilty to-day.
 Mir. Smith is the vice-president and general manager of the New York Cen tral lines east of Burfalo. He was charged with manslaughter in the third degree in connection with the express train wreck at Woodlawn last Febru- ary.
 In that wreck twenty-four passong 5rs lost their lives. The cars of train speeding toward this city were over- turned on a curve, after the electric locomotive had passed safely over the danger point high speed.
 Assistant District Attorney Smyth, the prosecuting officer, endeavored to show, through his witnesses, that the accident was caused by overspeeding and that MT, smith was responsible in- asmuch as he had allowed Rogers, call cd by the prosecution an incompetent motorman, to take out the train on ths fatal trip.
 De Lancey Nicoll, who conducted the defence. cross examined with the view of showing that responsibility was scattered He also maintained that Mir. Smiths duties were such that he could not know every detail of the work he supervised
 In instructing the jury, Justice Kel- logg gave warning to the defendant that he should go back to his rail. way and take such added precautions as he could devise for the protection i of passengers. He said that it was i'm possible for the defendant to hay, oversight of every bit of track and tha the charge of criminal negligence hat not been brought home to him.
