Seen in Waterbury and Several Other Places By People Who
 Thought They Knew Him
REWARD IS STILL UP
Pinkerton's Men Anxiously Inquire and Chief ''Bill" Rawlings Also Would Like to Know fl He
 Passed Through Here.

All persons in this city and sur rounding towns who have any regard for that filthy lucre known as money, should brush the cobwebs off their eyes and, placing pair of field glasses in their pockets, scan the hills and valleys far and wide, for William F. Walker, the fellow who almost broke the bank at New Brit ain and for whose capture the sum of $5.000 will be paid It was said last evening he was seen lurking in the vicinity of the Union station. He was spotted by MT and Mrs Elijah Rogers. sup. posed to reside in Southington, and as the former says he knows the bank defaulter well, he was sure that he was the fellow that was on the train that pulled into the union sta. tion at 6:13. Rogers says that Walker, or the fellow who if his op' tics were not deceiving him, and he is sure he has no defective eyesight looked like him, boarded North Willow street car evidently on the way to Waterville.
 Rogers, who since last night has refused to do any talking that would unravel the mystery made Patrol man Lawrence Lawlor aware of what he had seen.
 Lawlor with visions of $5,000 in green backs. hastened to the police and almost took the breath away from Chief of Police Beach when he related the tale. Beach was on his way to supper but he immediately had the entire force looking for Walker. but he must have dropped into some hole in the ground for nc one for the remainder of the evening caught a glimpse of anyone who even looked like the New Britainite
 This morning Superintendent Beach was called up by the Pinker. tons of New York, but the Water. bury chief told the New York sleuths that no trace of Walker had been found. Probably the Pinkertons will send some of their men to this city to see If they can land him.
 Chief Rawlings of New Britain talked with Superintendent Beach this morning and the former takes the story with much levity. He laughed when he heard the tale and thinks the springs are running ir someone's head.
 Superintendent Beach also con. siders the story a 'phoney' one ana says that it is up to Rogers to sa, something.
 Great excitement was caused in Wolcott this afternoon when a mar answering the description of Walker was seen driving rapidly through the town. He was driving SO fast that the natives could not obtain s good view of him. His whisker, were snow white and were exactly the type of Walkers.
 Half hour later: The fellow wht drove through Wolcott went around by Woodtick in which place 1t wa. discovered that the mans whisker, were black; the town folk of wolcot had been deceived into believing tn, whiskers were white because of tn, snow which clung te them.

marriage and subsequent thereto, talk about the incident in your life connected with Stanford White?"
 Yes. He always talked about. 1t. He would waken me often at night sobbing. And then he would con stantly ask me. questions about the details of this terrible thing.
 Did you visit May Mackenzie al her apartments in 1904?"
 "yes. she was i'll and sent me a letter to come and see her."
 While you were there, did Stan ford White come in?" ....--. Yes"

The defense having practically con cluded its attempt to prove that Harry Thaw was insane at the time he killed Stanford White, now faces the problem of proving that this in- sanity was of temporary nature and that he has recovered from 1t. Mir Hartridge of Thaw's counsel an- nounced yesterday that pr Graeme M. Hammond and Dr Smith E. Jel- liffe, both noted alienists. will be placed on the stand to-day after Dr Evans's testimony has been con- cluded. Neither of these experts has been mentioned as having seen Thaw immediately after. his incarceration in the Tombs and it is therefore be- lieved that they will be called for the purpose of showing that Thaw is now sane. Neither Dr Britton D. Evans nor Dr Charles c. Wagner has stated whether he believed Thaw to be sane now, although Dr Evans tes- tified that there was noticeable im- provement in his condition after his first three visits to the Tombs. What ever it is that Dr Jelliffe and Dr Hammond will testify to 1t is planned that they be called to-day. Dr Ham, mond has recovered from slight in- disposition and was again in court yesterday after an absence of a week.
 If there is time after the alienists have finished Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will be recalled and will continue her testimony. reciting the stories which her husband told her regarding the other girls. who. he believed. had suf- fered at the hands of White as she told him she had suffered. Tbese are the girls for whom Thaw provided fund in the eodicil to his will which was read fin evidence yesterday. This fund. contrary to the stories which have heretofore been printed about fl. provides money. not for the support of these girls. but to assist them to obtain legal redress from the man Thaw believed had wrenged them.
 The names of these girls. which are mentioned in the document. were not read yesterday and will not be dis cIoeed by Evelyn Thaw when she tes- tifes. but District Attorney Jerome has them. and it Is understood has .een all the girls referred to and has obtained from them their stories. That he will he able to put any of these stories before the jury there ls HftIe probability. But he can perhaps nee fhe-n fn hIs cross examination of Eveiyn Thaw.
