Miss Wood added: Il could not afford
to antagonize such powerful interests AS
Senator Plat, and was Obliged to put
up with him to a certain extent. I'D
like to have anyone who thinks him
matrimonial prize to have been in my
shoes for about one day."
Mr.. Porter also testified that April
2, 1905, Miss Wood stated to him:
Il was afraid the senator might beat
me out by agreeing to fulfill his promise
and marry me, and If there is one thing
that would be more humiliating than
suing this old man for breach of
promise it would be obliged to marry
and live with him.
Engaged in 1903
Mr.. Porter also stated that Miss
Wood told him that she had become
engaged to marry Senator Plat in
1903 and shortly afterward he wanted
to break the engagement, but that she
finally broke 1t on account of Mr..
Platt's attention to Mrs. Janeway, his
present wife.
A letter written by Miss Wood to
Abraham Hummel, the former lawyer,
in 1905, was made public today. In 1t

and the politicians who, she said, had
been associated with him in the con-
spiracies against her.
In deposition by Frank Haight. a
Chicago reporter, which was read in
court today, Haight quoted Miss Wood
as having told him in an interview that
she was unable to find Edward w.
Rice, whose name was signed as Of
floating clergyman to her marriage
certificate, and that she sometimes be-
lieved the man who performed the
ceremony was one of Platt's secre-
taries. In this deposition Miss Wood
is quoted as saying that she was as
tonished when Senator Plat came to
the Fifth Avenue hotel in 1901 and
announced that he was "going to marry
her, but, knowing his craving for dra-
matte episodes" she agreed. She said
the ceremony was a mere marriage
contract.
Edward Rowland, assistant janitor
for the United States Express COM
pany, but in 1906 valet to Senator
Platt. testified to the senator's furnish
ing an autograph signature on a blank
sheet of paper for two women appli-
cants at the Arlington hotel in this
city in 1908. The witness was shown
the letter in which Senator Platt is
alleged to have admitted his marriage
to Miss Wood, and identified the page
on which the senator's name was writ
ten as the paper to which the senator
had affixed his signature on the occa-
sion in question.
Court adjourned until tomorrow,
when testimony, 1t is expected, will be
concluded.

ALL IN GOOD SHAPE FOR
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Denver Managers Report Enormous
Demand for Seats and Elaborate
Preparations for Accommo-
dating Public
By Associated Press.

by Associated HfeSS.
DENVER, May 20.-Preparations for
the national Democratic convention
have been practically completed. Work
on the new auditorium has been hur-
,ied until nothing remains to be done
but to place the seats in position.
AS an indication of what the at
tendance will be, the unusual demand
for seats at the convention is signifi-
cant. Those in charge of the conyen-
ton say the requests are fully twice as
numerous as at any convention the
Democratic party has ever held.
At the headquarters of the sub-com-
mittee of the national Democratic COM
mittee, which is in charge of former
Governor Osborne OF Wyoming, the
hardest work of the convention prepa-
rations has been disposed of. All the
delegations SO far selected by the vari-
Gus states have been provided will,
headquarters, and the printing of tick
cts and badges has been attended to. A
special souvenir badge has been pre-
pared for members of the national COM
mittee, and there will also be a special
badge for delegates.
The arrangements for doorkeepers
and guests in the auditorium have not
been fully made, this work being more
comprehensive than usual.
Admission tickets for the general
public will provide seats in certain spe-
Gifted sections, to which the ticket hold
ers will be directed by ushers. In this
manner the confusion and noise occa-
stoned by large crowd pressing toward
the most desirable seats will be elinin-
ated. 1t is expected that at each ses-
sion of the convention $4,000 people will
be provided with seats.
The members of the national COM
mittee will hold a meeting In Denver
the latter part of June and decide upon
the temporary chairman.
The decorations will be the most
elaborate that have ever been attempt
ed in Denver. Electrical effects will be
conspicuous, and flags and bunting will
be used in a lavish manner.
