THE GRILIING OF EVANS
BROUGHT TO AN END
The Conclusion Of the Thaw~ Tral Is
Apparently Brought a Great Deal
Nearer

New York. March IA long stride
forward i'm the Thaw trial was taken
today when Jerome announced that
his exhaustive cross examination of
Or. Evans h2d been concluded. Evans
had been under fire since Wednesday
last. He was succeeded on the stand
by Dr Charles 6. Wagner. who ac-
compari.d Evans on most Of his visits
to Thaw in the Tombs. Jerome iadi-
Gated that he may conclude with Wag-
uer tomorrow. Mrs. William Thaw is
expected To be the next witness.
II is likely that the states case in
rebu,taI will be begun before the end
If the week. Jerome has indicated
that he viii call Howard Nesbit e

THaw treated hcr cruelty because she
would not tell lies about White.
Evans today admitted that Thav
had an insane knowledge OF what h.
was doing when he killed White. In

Evans admitted. but the knowledge
was that of am insane man and IN,

Wagner also declared that ThaV
had an irrational knowledge of what
was rranspiring on the roof Of IN,

is suffering from symptoms which
load toward a melancholy state.
The district attorney continued his
somewhat puzzling tactics. His ques-
tiouing Of Evans seemed To have IN,

plated by the New York c-imina
statutes. He again seemed desirous

NEW RAILROAD.
Southern Reported To BE About To
Build From Rapidan To
New Market.

Richmond Especially - Railroad
extensions seem to be the order of
the day in Virginia. The latest prop
ositiOn for a new road to open UP
in Virginia territory is said to be an
extension projected by the Southern
Railroad from a point about Rapidan,
up through Madison, Page, and Shen-
andoah Counties, to join it's valley
line at some point near New Market
Ihe route will take the line through
the famous thoroughfare gap, in the
Blue Ridge. the only available gap
in the mountains between Rockfish
Gap, in Albemarle, and the Front
Royal Gap, In Upper FarQuier Coun-
ty.
While no authoritive statement
has been made by the railroad Off
cials with regard to the proposed ex-
tension, it is known that surveys
nave been made for the extension,
and it is rumored that options have
been secured on some of the property
needed.
James Hay. of Madison, member
of Congress from this district, was
seen by representative. Mr.. Hay
would not be quoted directly, but
was of the opinion that the time was
not far distant when Madison Coun-
ty would have railroad facilities to
develop her wonderful resources.
Announcement was made in Fred
.eTtcksburg that the Blue Ridge Cop
per Company was planning to deve-
lop the Dark Horse Mine, northwest
of Madison Court House, and was
planning to put stamp mill into i'm
mediate operation. Iron ore is also
found at number of places along
the route of the proposed railroad,

Railway since the stockholders Of
that company had approved the $1O,-
100000 deal with the Blair-Ryan
syndicate, and that the double track
between this city and Newport News
would be completed during the pres
ent year, President Stevens, of the
Chesapeake and Ohio, in an inter
view, stated positively that there was
nothing to it.
President Stevens said that some
of the double-tracking between here
and Newport News has never been
stopped. This work will probably
be completed by September I, Civ
ing thirty miles of double track on
the Peninsular division of the road
President Stevens says that the
next regular meeting of the directors
of the road will be held in New York
on Thursday, September 5. Presi-
dent Stevens pointed out the fact
that H. Pierce, engineer in charge
of construction, left here for New
York, whence he will sail for Europe
with his wife for a stay of several
months. Ic is hardly likely that any
work of moment will be considered
or undertaken during his absence.

Norfolk Especially. II Mrs. Sadie
Heron, a young and pretty white
woman, was sentenced to serve five
days in jail and pay fine and costs
by Police Justice Simmons, on a
charge of contempt of court
Mrs. Heron was arraigned several
days ago upon a charge of abusing
one of her neighbors, Mrs. G. NJ
Venable. She was convicted upon
this charge and a nominal fine i'm
posed. The verdict of the court,
however, failed to conform to the
notions of justice held by the young
woman, who proceeded to voice her
personal opinion of the character of
the justice.
Her TRADE against the magistrate
was continued IN spite of the fact
that she was warned that the court
would not stand for it. The young
woman broke down and wept when
the Jail sentence was passed upon
her
