Mrs. Thaw denies having made the
charges contained in the afidvit, and
denied having signed such an effid;v;t,
although she admitted having signed

nature Of which she did not know.
Mr.. Jerome played his strongeet

Makes Two Good Gains.
Instead Of furth.er hurting the cause

make two decided gains. When court

terday she explained that Thaw took
the letter of credit from Der, saying
the money was "poisonous' and

Some One Gets Away With 100000
From sub.Treasury in Chicago.
Chicago, Feb. 27.-One of the larg
est, If not the largest, thefts from the
United States treasury, has been un
earthed in Chicago.
Somewhere between $4,000 and
100000 was stolen from the local
subtreasury last week. The money has
disappeared as completely as if it had
vanished from the face of the earth.
The authorities here and in Wash
ington have been working night and
day on the robbery since it was discov
cred.
Wiikie Will Take Charge.
Chief Wilkie of the United States
secret service has been keeping in
formed by telephone and telegraph OF
every development, and according Ia
telegraphic advices he will take per
sonal charge of the investigation.
The money was stolen either week
ago Saturday, the next day, or last
Monday. The chances are it was alb
stracted on Monday. The loss was dis
covered on Tuesday.
Bookkeeping Blamed.
At first it was believed that there
must be some error in the 5ookkeep
ing. The ledger men involved strenu
ously denied any error and an investi
cation showed there was no possible
clerical mistake to account for the dis
appearance of the cash.
This brought the inevitable conc.u
sion that robbery was the only expla
nation. Just as certain was the dedua
ton that the thieves were employees
of the subtreasury and were at thai
moment pursuing their daily tasks.
Employees Sweated.
Every man who could have anything
to do with the case was put through,
an exhaustive examination. They stood
the ordeal, every one of them. All de
MED any knowledge of the theft and
protested their innocence.
Says Shortage Is Traced.
Subtreasurer Boldenwreck declared
late yesterday that it had been def
nitely determined just where the
shortage occurred. but he declined to
say to where it had been traced.
