It is understood that Evelyn Thaw. who was the star wit ness of the defense at the previous trial will be called to the stand, eX- cept possibly to testify as to her hus- bands mental condition at the time of the commission of the crime. Mar tin w. Littleton will conduct Thaw's S case, and District Attorney Jerome, as before will personally conduct the prosecution.

 While there has been much discus sion of the project of reopcning the exposition next year, it is not believed that this will be possible. Already,
 many exhibitors have arranged to
 remove their exhibits and several state buildings have been closed for Hack of money.
 i If is admitted that the exposition has been a failure from a financial standpoint, due largely to the failure to complete it on time. The state ment that the exposition company is bankrupt, however, is denied by Presi- dent Harry St. George Tucker, who asserts that its assets are much larg- CT than it's liabilities. According to MT. Tucker, the property is worth full ly $25O0,0OO while the liabilities are about $2,0OO,OOO. If the property can be sold for what it is estimated it is worth, the exposition company will close it's books with healthy balance on the right side of the ledger. Of the $2,0O0,000 indebtedness. there is 8 balance due the United States govern ment of $9O0,000.
