WILKIE HERE
FROM CHICAGO
DENIES .RUMORS
Declares Absurd Story of
CaShing of Stolen
Note in England.

Chief Wnkie, Of the United States
Secret Service, who reached Washing
ton last night, after having instituted
a thorough search in the Chicago sub
treasury for the missing S173. 900 dollars,
laughed at the report that one of the
stolen $4,000 notes had been presented
for payment at the Bank Of England
and cashed
Chief Wilkie- said last night that ne
read the story for the first time after
he reached Washington.
In speaking OF the latest developments
in the sensational looting of the Gov
ernment institution in Chicago, Mr.
Wilkie said:
Teller Fitzgerald is assisting us in
our investigation into the big theft. but
deny for me most emphaticaIly that he
has been employed as a member OF the
Secret Service. as was reported In
Chicago newspaper. He is under sus-
pension, and having nothing else to do.
he kindly rendered his services to aid
us in our investigation, which is still in
progress.
Il cannot say what we have done or
whom We suspect ! have not talked for
publication since 1 left Washington. AL
though 1 have been extensively quoted
at various times"
Chief Wilkie expects TO remain IN
Washington. unless there are some en-
tirely unexpected developments in the
case. in which event he will probably
return at once to Chicago.

down as an infiexible proposition that
with the present sanity of Tbaw this
jury has nothing to do. They must de-
eide only the question, Was Thaw crazy
the night he shot Stanford White?
The understanding at the district at
tOrney's office today was that the eX-
perts were laboring over the formation
of the Hypothetical question that is to
be put in the case. On the side, Jerome
and Garvan were going over the evi-
dence and picking out the things which
must be rebutted in order to save the
state from a complete collapse.
Message From Other Side.
One of The things considered by
Jerome was a long message received
today from Craig Wadsworth. the at
tache of the American embassy at Lon
don. who was drawn into the case by
the testimony OF young Mrs. Thaw. 1t
is SAID that Wadsworth has sent Jerome
matter supp;eLtihs his letter of week
ago. in which he explained his relations
with Mrs. Holman and Miss Nesbit,
and that Jerome found in the latest
bulletin matter of great Importance,
which he Will bring out iE Tebuttal.
Jerome would not discuss this matter
in any way. 1t was later declared that
the district attorney would have a big
sensation to spring when court con
venes on Monday
There was another story ir circula-
tion that Jerome is preparing to prove
that Thaw was simply drunk on the
night of The shooting, and that the
murder Is merely the result of jealous
rage augmented by drink.
This much is certain. however: the
district attorney, realizing the strength

Stands Well IN Department.

Although State Department officials
do not feel, apparently. that the ques-
ton is one that requires official discus
sion, 1t Is said most emphatically by
them that Mr.. Wadsworth's record has
always been up TO the highest possible
mark, that they have never heard any
charges against his character, and that
there has been no suggestion from any
source that he be recalled. If Mr.. IVads-
worth was guilty of such conduct as
described by Mrs. Thaw. the depart
ment officials state that undoubtedly he
would have been recalled long ago.
Furthermore. the officials do not feel
that there Will be any demand for Mr..
Wadsworth's removal from the London
Office
So far as IS known. Wadsworth has
always led a life free from any scandal.
He is son of Craig Wadsworth. who
died many years ago.
The young diplomats father was a
brother of Representative James Wads-
worth and cousin Of Herbert Wads-
worth, both of whom live in Washing
ton.
Craig Wadsworth had been out Of
harvard only short time when the
Spanish-American war came on. and he
enlisted as a private IN the First Vol
unteer Cavalry. known as "ROOsevelt's g
Rough Riders He was promoted to
corporal and then sergeant. Following
the. war he became noted In New York.

work. and abandoning all efforts to Sc
cure the appointment Of a lunacy COM
mission, will exert his utmost efforts
to secure a conviction of murder in the
first degree.
1t is not believed that all of the
twenty-five witnesses the State has un-
der subpoena Will be placed upon the
stand. Indeed, Jerome's plan now
seems to be to compress as much as pos
sible. making a multum in parvO re-
buttal. II IS extremely doubtful, :or
instance. that he will call Miss May
Mckenzie at all. fearing that TO make
her his witness will result in disclOs-
ures that might seriously damage his
case. Il IS also doubtful If he will call
Howard Nesbit.
Wants Only Whites Letters.
He will not use Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw either for any purpose save TO
produce letters that she may have in
her possession from Stanford White.
Mrs. Thaw admitted, after her call upon
her husband al the Tombs, tnat she had
some Of the White letters In her pos
session and had been going over them
with her husband. but she declined to
talk about them II may be stated,
however, that there is nothing in them
that will prejudice Thaw's case, and
after he sees them, Jerome may not
even make any use Of them.
The rumors are persistent that the
State VIII seek to establish the fact
that on the night IL is said Evelyn Nes-
bit fixed as the occasion of Whites mis-
conduct he was at a dinner party in the
tower. The word from the defense IS
that he will have a hard time establish
ing any such fact. Similarly. the de-
fense is ready for any effort Of Jerome's

DENY RECALL
OF WADSWORTH
FROM ENGLAND
Friends DiScredit Alleged
Connection With ThaW
Case in London.

Reports cabled from London yester-
day that The Throne. a semi-Official
social paper at the British capital. had
demanded the recall Of a secretary OF
one of the important embassies there
because Of his alleged scadalous connec-
ton with the Thaw case, created quite
a sensation in official and social circles
In Washington. The paper did not men
tiOn any names, but il is generally be-
lieved that the reference was TO the
second secretary OF the American en-
bassy at the British capital, Craig
Wadsworth. wealthy clubman and social
leader. a former Rough Rider, friend Of
President Roosevelt, and nephew of
James w. Wadsworth, "A representative
in Congress from New York.
Mr.. Wadsworth is widely and pOpu-
larry known i'm Washington. having
spent much Of his time here during the
winter for several years. He was here
the latter part of January and attended

Friends Believe Him Innocent.

There was great resentment among the
relatives and friends OF Mr.. Wadsworth
here that his name has been dragged
into the case at all. All are emphatic
in declaring their belief that he was in
nocent of any scandal and that If he
saw either Evelyn Nesbit or her mother
while they were in London in 1903 It
was merely through their calling at the
embassy. as ii has been said they called
there for financial aid. There is no in
formation on the subject at the State
Department.
According to the London dispatch. Of
fetal and social circles there also are
greatly stirred up. for the young dip'o-
nat at once became popular in the Brit
ish capital, where he has been stationed

Was a Lavish Entertainer.

mother yet being known as one of the
wealthiest persons in the entire Geneseo
community of New York, Mr.. Wads-
worth has entertained lavishly in Lon
don, as well as here and in New York.
bat there apparently is no one TO say
thet he has been guilty Of any scanda-
lous or ungentlemanly conduct. Vigor-
Gus protests are made by his friends
against even the suggestion that he be
recalled.
The alleged connection of Mr.. Wads-
worth with the Thaws developed when
Mrs. Harry X. Thaw was on the wit
ness stand and she testified that the
second secretary of the American en-
bassy had annoyed her mother, even
forcing himself into her room at Clar-
idges at night. She whispered his name
to District Attorney jerome. Mr.. Wads-
worth was the second secretary at that
time.

20 be tolerated, 10 matter how rich and
influential his mother may be.
THAT man acting in an Official ca
pacIty should so take advantage OF his
position and go unpunished Is enough 10
make every father, mother. and hJs-
band shudder.
The great colony among Us to whom
this man belongs. knows his name. and
it is for him 70 recognize his position
and go home. II ne doesn't his am
bassador must act, and II the ambassa-
dor hesitates his master should with
draw him. It is idle TO suppose the
matter s5ill blow over"
Claim Jerome Was Informed.
Friends OF MI WadswOTth declared
last night that their beliefs as to his
innocence were confirmed by the reports
from New York that yesterdays mail
brought TO District Attorney Jerome a
long letter from the secretary. IN which
he denied in their entirety all OF Mrs.
Thaw's sensational statements concern
ing the acquaintance Of herself and her
mother with him. Mr.. WadswOrth is
said TO have written AT the request Of
District Attorney Jerome. TO state his
Slue or certain episodes IN 1905. IN Eng
land. in which he. the then Evelyn
Nesbit. Harry Thaw. Stanford White,
and She then Mrs. Ncsbit figured.
In this letter, AIr- Wadsworth is said
TO have contradicted emphatically the
accounts OF the circumstance which
Evelyn Thaw told upon the stand as a
witness for her husband. lie denies that
he ever annoyed Mrs Holman or in
suited the daughter. and he puts a con-
struction upon Harry Thaw's famous
cablegram to White, signed Evelyn Nes-
bit, which is at total variance with the
version OF the accused mans wife. 1t
Is understood that this letter will be
used as strong weapon by the prose-
CutiOn.
The Washington times., 1907-03-10
What the Throne Says.

II was to make the young diplomat
cease his annoyances. Mrs. Thaw de-
clared. that the cablegrams were sent
to Stanford White from Paris. asking
him to use his influence with Wads-
worth to let Mrs. Nesbit alone. The
Throne. in its sensational article, de-
clares that the King should not tolerate
such conduct on the part of a diplomat
accredited 10 his court. and that Am
bassador Reid should dismiss him.
Continuing. the article says:
The association of the name of the
secretary Of one Of our most important
embassies with a great social scandal
cannot be allowed to rest Neither the
King Of England nor the head OF this
cmanis country can allow such conduct
