Mr.. Ccmstock said Thaw called at his
office in February, 1904, and complain
ed Of party who was wronging young
girls. Thaw gave details which witness
repeated as far as he could remember
Mr.. Comstock identified several COM
munications from Thaw, one being a
diagram of the premises where he de-
clared evil men were carrying on
criminal practices. Thaw declared that
workmen on buildings near the rremis-
es had heard young girls scream and
suggested that men be sent to watch
the entrance to the place. Thaw also
said he had suggested to the secretary
for the prevention Of cruelty to children
that a search warrant be issued and
an investigation he made of the house
which was located in 22d street.
''Thaw told me he had been followed
to my office the second time by men
employed to watch him." continued the
witness. II sent several men out in
the hallway to see if anyone was there"
Mr.. Jerome objected to the witness
telling the result of this search but II
came out in the discussion that no one
had followed Thaw.
"When Thaw came back to see me
the third time resumed Mr.. Com
stock, II told him / had been unable
to secure any evidence, as the house
III pod street seemed to be closed. He
said he would furnish me the names
OF several girls who had been there.
l told him it would be necessary to
Confederate their stories"
Mr.. Comstock identified three more
letters from Thaw, one having been re-
ceived as late as April, 1906-two
months before the tragedy.
Mr.. Littleton first read to the jury
a letter from Thaw to Comstock writ
ten in November, 1904. 1t attempted
to descrihe the 9th street house with
crude diagrams in the text. Thaw said
one room was furnished like a forest
and that secret stairs led from it to
the room of the mirrors. The door in
the forest room was hard to find, the
letter declared, and there was no es
cape fer the young girls who were
drugged. Thaw claimed that six or sew
en- criminal scoundrels" controlled the
place and that three or four decent
young men who did not know Of the
criminal acts often frequented the
place.
Thousands of crimes have been
committed there and many felonies,"
Thaw wrote and added that there was
q little room to which access was
gained by a door behind a picture. in
this room,' the letter said, there is
valuabl French painting Of a wo-
man and Of peculiar infamous sug-
gestivity.'
In another letter Thaw suggested that
plumbers working on building adj
joining the oath street house might be
induced to drop some heavy article
through the skylight and reveal what
was below. Thaw also said that there
was a libel suit in Paris instituted by
young woman who had been men,
toned as posing for the picture pre-

NO retorted the frank Irishman,
who used to wear cOrked boots and q
red shirt up on the Carrabasset. You

er you want to invite Morgan here
The President read the book and one

PROBABLE MURDER
AT WOODLAND, NE.
Andrew Higgins, Farmer, Found Dead
Horribly Partially Con-
Cealed ---Located by Bloody Trail.

money 1t is believed he was dubbed
over the head with some blunt instru-
ment and his body dragged to the place
where ii was found half hidden by
boughs.
The scene of the affair is about IL
miles from the newly built paper mills
at Woodland, the latter place being Il
part of the town of Baileyville. Coro-
ner Charles E. Johnson of Princeton
WIS summoned.
The sclectmen ordered the body re-
moved 10 the town hall at Woodland
and after this had been done it was
viewed by Coroner Johnson, who also
is n physician. The head was badly
battered, the skull being fractured and
there being five or. six deep cuts III
the back of it, indicating that the vic
tim had been attacked from behind.
Coroner johnson decided not to hold
the inquest until tomorrow.
Two bloodstained clubs We're found
about 200 feet from the camp, while
the body was 900 feet further on in
the same direction from the camp.
Near the clubs was quite a pool of
blood and it was believed this marked
the spot where Higgins died.
1t also was the opinion of some that
after Higgins had been attacked he
secured one OF these clubs and attempt
ed to use it in defence. If this theory
proves correct. his assaiIant evidently
was cut and bruised and the work OF
the officers in searching him out will be
lightcned. One of the clubs was of
birch % inches in length and 1$4 inches
in thickness. The other was a spruce
paling about four feet long and taken
from fence. Sprague and King, who
were accompanied by John Munson,
had missed Higgins and had instituted
a search on their own account.
The sClectmen were Joined during the
Gay by Deputy Sheriff Stillman E.
Woodman. He made a deligent searc,:
for the suspect and an arrest seemed
imminent tonight.
There was nothing i'll the clothing
of the dead man except a letter from
his son, A. w. Higgins of Boston, in
which he expressed his intention to re-
turn TO Woodland next summer. 1t
was stated that Higgins was known 10
have $50 in money last week. Coroner
Johnson said ne had been dead about
four days
