Bank Of New Britain today made pub
lie a letter received from William F.
Walker, the defaulting treasurer, mail

ago. or just before he disappeared.
The letter was a long one and in it
Walker states that he was duped by
men who purpOrted TO be representa-
tives of a bond house with which the
Savings Bank did business. He said
that it was stated that there had been
a wrongful issue of certain bonds, and
an over-issue of certain others that
Walker had purchased, and some of
which the bank had held for a long
time Walker finally turned all the
bonds over to three men and later dis
covered he says, that the men did not
represent the house at all.
"The amount involved is very large"
he says 'and the matter has so upset
me that | am nearly frantic. I have
not yet got satisfaction and / am more
and more convinced that | had been
the victim of a swindle and have been
outrageously robbed. My head is so

Hughes Reason For Ask
ing Ke|sey's Removal.
Says He Failed to Perform
Some Obvious Duties.
Past Neglect Makes Assurance For
the Future Unsafe.

Albany. n. Y, Feb. Ex-Governor
Hughes sent to the Senate this morning
q special message recommending the
removal from Office of State Superin-
tendent Of Insurance Otto Kelsey.
In the opening paragraphs of his
25OO-word message the governor said :
Il recommend tho removal of Otto
Kelsey from the office of superinten-
dent of insurance.
with respect to life insurance. New
York is easily the most important jur-
isdiction in the United States, if not
in the world, and the vast interests in
volved imperatiycly require and it
should be a point OF honor for the
state TO maintain a fearless and eff
cient administration of its supervising
department commanding the confidence
of the people.
Il recommend Mr.. Kelscy's removal
because as head OF this department he
has conspicuously failed to perform
obvious duties of the first Importance
and his neglect has demonstrated his
unfitness for the trust confided in
him.
The governor says that Mr. Kelsey
took office "soon after the investigation
by the joint committee of the Legisla-
ture which disclosed gross irregulari
ties in the management of life insur
ance corporations. The message dis
cusses these disclosures at length.
The message added: II have been
compelled with regret to reach the
conclusion that Mr.. Kelsey is not the
man to have charge of this depart
ment. His past neglect and the want
of force and initiative already display
ed, make ii unsafe to accept assurances
for the future
The message was read and on motion
of Senator Raynes was referred with
out debate to the committee on judici-
airy, of which Senator Davis of Buffalo
is chairman

New York, Feb. 20.-In continuing
today his cross eXamination of Mrs.
Evelyn NeSbit ThaW, at the trial of
her husband, District Attorney jerome
brought out the fact that in 1902 STAN
ford White deposited the sum of 1880
with a New York trust company with
instructions that it should be paid to
the Nesbit girl at the rate of $25 Il
week. Mrs. Thaw frankly admitted re-
ceiving a number of checks from the
trust company, but she would not ad-
nit that there was a provision that
she should receive the money only
when out Of employment. The prose-
cutor spent nearly the entire afternoon
in trying to make Mrs. Thaw admit
that this was true, but as often and in
as many ways as he put the question
to her, she gave necessarily the one
anSWer-'1 don't remember"
Mrs. ThaWs inability to remember
a number of other things about which
Mr.. jerome questioned her was by far
the most material element in the
cross eXamination. The district at
torney delved into the witness past
life with a Familiarity as to details

which at times seemed to amaze all
who heard-not excepting the defen-
dant's counsel themselves. MIR. jerome
indicated early in his questioning that
he had no disposition to spare Mrs.
ThaW'S feelings in any way Whatso-
ever. He interrogatel her most point
edly as to her men acquaintances of
the past He laid especial stress upon
her 2cquaintanccship with James A.
Garland, who figured for The first time
in the case. Mrs. Thaw said she knew
Garland before she met White
weren't you named as corespon-
dent in the Garland divorce case?"
asked MIR. jerome.
Mrs. Thaw was shaking her head
when Mr.. Delmas sprang to his feet
with an objection. He demanded that
the record of the divorce case be
brought into court that it might speak
for itself. Justice Fitzgerald overrul-
ed the objection, but Mr.. Delmas with
drew the question.
Mr.. Jerome questioned the witness
about her manner of posing for ar
lists and brought from her a denial
that she ever posed in the nude. Mr..
jerome was insistent for details on the
subject. He did not mince words
Many photographs of Mrs ThaW were
introduced i'll evidence.
Mr.. jerome daring the morning ses-
sion piled the young woman with qua5-
tons as to what disposition she hal
made Of the letters written to her by
Stanford White. Some, she said. had
been destroyed and some she had Civ

pressing for an answer as to what had
