were read in evidence. They gave
the names OF alleged victims of
White in the notorious studio and
referred to White as "the black.
guard"
The letters were new evidence in
the case, but were mentioned in the
first trial, when DR.. Evans, in tell
ing of what Thaw had said to him
of his efforts to have White sent to
the penitentiary.
''I did not want to kill the
beast" said Thaw. "but wanted to
have him brought to court and have
his acts shown up. Providence has
intervened, however. 1t was an act
of Providence"

RECOGNIZES IMPORTANCE or WEST
TO BRING REPUBLICAN VICTORY

Colorado Springs. July 23.-The one
result OF the two days conference be-
tween Chairman Hitchcock Of the Re-
publican national committee and the
western leaders which overshadows
everything else will be the enthusiasm
that will be inspired in the ranks Of
the Individual workers of the party
throughout the territory represented.
Never before in the history of the
great west has any chairman OF ma
tional organization felt that it was in
cumbent upon himself to come west OF
the Missouri river and confer with po-
litical leaders called together as a
body relative to western wants and
needs.
Not only did Chairman Hitchcock
confer relative to western wants and
needs. but he told the representatives
Of the west that he, as the official rep
resentative of his party, wanted and
needed. In fact he emphasized to
degree, SO certain that none could mis-
understand his meaning, that the
WAutB AuO uccuS VI AL ecCliOHb VI luS
United States were In common.
Broad Ground for Republican Success.
Not for an instant did Mr.. Hitch
cock Indicate that Republican success
must come to the west because a few
western states were necessary in the
electoral college to barely achieve the
election OF Mr.. Taft: rather does he
believe that the party's candidate will
be given a greater electoral vote next
January than was ever cast for an
aspirant to the presidential position,
but Mr.. Hitchcock maintained that Re-
publican success must come to west
ern states because the success always
brings a fuller measure of prosperity
to those sections attaining 1t.
IgniteS Flame Of Party Harmony.
Throughout the entire conference
Mr.. Hitchcock placed the purpose of
his visit upon the high plain OF nation
al advancement. Never once did he
descend to the common political field
Of strife for mere ofhces. but always
was he advocating the achievements
Of his party because 1t meant more to
the American people.
