woman who was sentenced to 20
years imprisonment by jury in
Judge Kersten's court forethe murder
of Phillip Fcrrco, and was granted a
new trial, was placed on trial for
the second time before Judge Windes
yesterday. Mrs, Anselonc aroused
much sympathy in her previous trial
by the story which she told, of the
reasons for the killing. She claimed
that Ferreo, who had been a boarder
and had sought to pay her attentions,
had inhamed the mind Of her hus-
band against her BY false stories and
that for this reason her husband had
left her. Then Ferreo, she claimed,
renewed his advances She shot him
on August lS in the alley behind her
home,
She is being defended by Bernard

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S. Ma
tional politics, international marriages
and government expenditures formed
the themes Of discussion in the House
today. incidentally it was the long,
est sitting Of the House this session.
The urgent deficiency bill was Up for
consideration but in several instances
It was ignored under the license Of
general debate. The presence Of Bryan
in the lobby Of the House furnished
en- inspiration to Walker, of Arkans-
as, for vigorous speech in which,
while admitting that Bryan had made
many mistakes and had been charged
with talking too much, he said the
Nebraskan was worthy Of the honor
and suffrage Of all states. The inter-
national marriages of American heir
esses to titled foreigners were de-
nounced by McGarvin, of Illinois.
His remarks evoked considerable ap-
plause and laughter. No amendments
of any consequence were made to the
urgent deficiency bill and it was still
pending when the House adjourned.

ever was Senator Fulton and his ac-
ccptancc OF the latter's recent chal-

evidence to substantiate his charges
or discontinue his attacks against

his evidence in much, the same way

TIE morning session, Judge Dowiing
will hand the case over to the Jury
Thursday afternoon. The court ai,-
nounced however, he probably would
not deliver the charge until Friday.
Contrary to his policy of last year,
jerome this time utterly ignored the
scientific phases Of the rebuttal case.
HE produced several eye witnesses
Of the tragedy and several police
officers who handled Thaw the night
of the homicide and placed on record
their opinion that the defendants acts
and manner were rational. Under an
agreement Of counsel the testimony
given BY Abe Hummel at the last
trial was read to the jury and the
Thaw will was admitted In evidence
without further proof as TO its
custody during the six months fol-
lowing the shooting.
An affidavit alleged to have been
made BY Evelyn Nesbit in Hum
mel's Office, charging Thaw with
cruelty and attempting to falsely
place the blame for the Nesbit girls
downfall upon White was also adj
niitted. Jerome's elimination Of the
expert testimony from the rebuttaI
case occasioned much talk. Based
upon the assertions Of last year that
Thaw was an incurable paranoiac,
rumor had il that the prosecutor
might not be displeased with a ver-
dict Of not guilty on the ground Of
insanity, with an ensuing committaI

JApANs FOREIGN POLICY.

TOXIC, Jan. 2S,--Replying to in
terpcllations in the lower house OF
the diet this evening Foreign Min
lister Viscount Hayashi spoke at
length on the foreign policy OF the
government, including the negotia-
tions with America and Canada,
He announced that the Canadian
question had been definitely settled
and read the correspondence with
Rodolphe LcmicuS, the Canadian
minister OF labor, wherein Japan has
agreed to restrict emigration to Can
ada within reasonable limits He
said that memorandum attached
thereto defined what was considered
reasonable limits but insisted that
Japan had not conceded any OF her
treaty rights.
He said the negotiations with
America were continuing and he was
unable to give any details but was
able 10 announce that satisfactory
settlement was within sight.
Viscount Hayashi said further that
certain negotiations with China were
unsettled, pertaining to the Sinmins
tun-Fakuoin railroad regarding. which
protest had been presented by
China.
Regarding the Kanko boundary dis
pute in Korea, he said that Japan
occupied the position Of arbitrator
and would decide according to the
merits Of the evidence.

Asserted, Were Fits Of Temper,
Which Deserved Spanking-Later

NEW YORK, Jan. 28 = After
spending nineteen months in the
Tombs, Harry X. Thaw may today
have an opportunity TO take more Of
a trip than the one across the Bridge
oi Sights leading to the criminal
courts building. the longest trip he
has made since he was locked into
the famous prison. II he does leave
the Tombs his destination will be
another prison, the penitentiary on
Blackwcils Island. District Attorney
Jerome has asked for commission
TO take the testimony OF Abraham
Hummel, the lawyer who is serving
a term on Blackwells Island and JUS
tice Dowling has announced that if
necessary, accompanied by lawyers
for both sides and the prisoner, he
will go to the island tonight and per-
sonally take the testimony required.
Mr.. Jerome stated in court that Hum
mel was too i'll to admit of his re-
moval to the court room. The law
yers for the defense objected to the
appointment OF commission to take
his testimony and Justice Dowling,
after intimating that he would take
it himself if necessary, let the matter
rest until this morning, when. on the
opening Of court, Mr.. Jerome will
renew his motion, Mr.. Littleton will
oppose it and Justice Bowling will
render his decision, Hummel is the
man who drew the famous affidavit
which has played an important part
in the case. In it Evelyn Nesbitt is
said to have accused Harry Thaw Of
abusing her during their long sojourn
in Europe before they were married.
On the stand she had denied that
she ever made the statements that
were contained in the affidavit.
AT the former trial Hummel testi-
fed that the affidavit was practically
a stenographic transcript of the state
ments she made to him at his Office.
Hummel is serving term on the is
land following conviction on a charge
Of subornation Of perjury. His testi-
mony will be included n the rebuttal
testimony which Mr. Jerome will Of
fer ON behalf Of the people. The dis
trict attorney has not stated what
witnesses he will call in rebuttal but
il is expected that the taking Of testi-
mony will be completed today and
that the case will go to the jury to-
