Mr.. Mack and Herman Ridder, chair
man and treasurer Of the democratic
national committee, both insisted that
Rockefellers letter for Taft had been
accompanied by a campaign contribu-

Hitchcock Rushes Out Denial.
When Chairman Hitchcock learned
OF this assertion he made this author
lied announcement:
THE statement that the republican
national committee has received imam
cal assistance from the Standard on
company is absolutely false. The com
mittee has not received directly or In
directly from that organization or any
of its officers single dollar.
In an authorized interview Chairman
Hitchcock added:

difference between this amount and the
money actually expended on the road
is s9.7l5,OOO.

position of this $9,7l5, 900 exists out

company. A tremendous large amount
was dissipated In the selling Of bonds
at extremely low prices.
The Wisconsin division OF the road
is the rlost striking example OF extra

the construction was 81. $50, 900. Against
this is debt Of s13,929,S06. There

jury in General Sessions Court this af-
ternoon. Each side closed its case at
1915 o'clock and was allowed twenty
FIVE minutes for argument before the
jury.
The trial began yesterday afternoon.
The State presented no new evidence
against the prisoner. The defense, how
ever, which was ably conducted by
Horace G. Eastburn. called many Wit
nesses whose testimony tended toward
an alibi for Washington. New wit
nesses in this particular TODAY were
Henry Boughman, Frank Phillips and
Mrs. Rosa A. Phillips. Each of them
swore to the presence of Washington
at the Phillips home. about one mile
from the scene of the crime at a time
which indicated his innocence of the
Monyhan robbery. They swore that
Washington was not excited at the
time and that he did not wear the cap
described by MoDyhan. They declared
his previous reputation 10 be good. The
State based its prosecution on Mony-
hams identification Of Washington by
means Of the cap worn by the man who
committed the crime. A cap cor
responding to Monyhan's description
was found in the Washington home,
and according to statement obtained
by State Detective ellis from one Of
Washington's brothers. the cap had
