CIings to Hoofs to Save Self.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, March 10
Emil Wepfer, a driver for the Roddis
Lumber company, had a miraculous
escape from death when in turning a
bend of a road, the top log Of the load
slipped, carrying him with it. He
grasped one of the horses legs and
was dragged about 200 feet. One of
his feet had caught under the roller,
which was gradually working its way
up over his limbs, crushing him to
the earth. 1t had almost reached the
waist when he succeeded in turning
the horses off the road into the deep
snow and stopped them. He crawIed
from under the load. About an hour
later he was found in an unconscious
condition by a tote team driver.

New York. March 19.--Wheu the
Thaw trial was adjourned yesterday
afternoon there remained but four eX,
pert witnesses to be examined before
the taking of evidence closes. Three
experts were disposed of yesterday in
a little more than one hour, 50 II Is
generally believed that the last word
of evidence may be uttered in the ia
nous case today and verdict posi-
bly, reached Friday night
The case for the people was finally
closed yesterday by the introduction OF
the much discussed HummeI affidavit,
which with the consent Of the de-
tense, was read in full to the jury.
The affidavit proved a surprise only in
the alleged severity Of the assaults
Thaw is said to have made upon Eve
Ign Nesbit during their trip through
Europe in 1908, when, accord.cng to
the testimony of Abraham Hummcl,
Miss Nesbit would not sign statements
which Thaw had prepared accusing
Waite of having drugged and ruined
her.
Whipped with Cowhde.
In this affidavit Miss Nesbit charges
Thaw with having attacked her with
a cowhide whip while they We're stop
ping at an old castle in Austrian
'Tyrol. and lashing her bare skin until
she became faint from pain ana
swooned. He repeated the attack
the next day, according to the affidayil
and afterward in Paris he beat her at
haM hour intervals throughout one en-
tire day, leaving off only when she
would faint away and could no longer
understand what was happening. Miss
Nesbit is alleged to have sworn in
the affidavit that she was in daily
fear for her life and that Thaw acted
as demented person during some of
bhe assaults.

When Attorney Delmas began the
introduction OF testimony in sure
