LOVE LETTERS OF
 THOMAS U. PLATT Conspiracy Among Government
 Officials Charged STATEMENT OF MIR. MILLER Paper Introduced in Court Declares That Prominent Officials of Wash
 neton Had Hand in the Af-
 fairs of Miss Wood.
STATEMENT OF MIR. MILLER

New York, May 19.-High government officials at Washington are alleged to
 have conspired to obtain possession of love
 letters said to have been written by United
 States Senator Thomas C. Platt to Miss Mae C. Wood in signed statement in-
 troduced as evidence during the day s
 hearing in Miss Woods suit for divorce against the senator The statement which was introduced after the court had denied motion by counsel for Senator Platt to dismiss the complaint bears what purports to be the signature of J. Martin Miller,
 and Miss Wood said that while she did
 not see the signature affixed she was as-
 sured by MT. Miller that it was genuine.
 The statement was prepared by Miller at her request, she testified. It declared that Miller was asked by high government
 officials in Washington and New York to get possession of Senator Platt's love lei
 ters," that the papers when obtained were
 not to be given to Senator Platt but were to be turned over to MT. Loeb in Wash ington" and that when the plan to get
 possession of the original papers failed a
 scandal was begun in the newspapers to
 force Miss Woods to come to terms. ,'Wynne, first assistant postmaster gen. eral, started the ball rolling by getting a
 New York newspaper to print the article
 as it first appeared" says the statement, which concludes:
 Led Into Conspiracy.
 q was gotten into the conspiracy by ] powerful officials whom l dare not to dis please from newspaper or political
 standpoint. l consulted MT. Howe, Sen-
 ator Platts secretary, Penny, and acted at all times under the direction of Loeb and Platt."
 Former Postmaster General Robert Wynne is the present American consul
 general to London. J. Martin Miller, t, former newspaper man, recently was
 American consul at Rheims, France Did Miller ever say anything to you
 about the letters?" asked the examining
 attorney of Miss Wood, who had been on the witness stand in her own behalf since early yesterday.
 Yes" she replied, The said that if he got the letters the Platts would never get them"
 What was he going to do with them?" Hold them over Platts head, I be- lieve," she answered.

The article speaks of the country somewhat in respect of the moral conditions, reciting the doing away of gambling the restraining of the sale Of liquor and the generally misconceived idea of the cowboys. The writer employs the phrase Sunday School Cowboys" as Illustrative of the character of Arizona's bad men. There is also a proper mention of the high standard of Arizona schools. of the benefits of life in the open" and of the resources of the country.
