fled Tuesday to Jacobson's visit to her
home on the day previous to the finding
of his body, was called for cross-exami-
nation at the opening of court. She was
questioned about note she said she saw

man showed no signs of having been
that day.

bride from the Northern Bank for the
benefit OF the bankrupt Carnegie Trust
company. to serve not less than two
years and not more than three years and
six months in Sing Sing prison. The
court Immediately freed Hyde on bail of
$4,000. pending argument on a certi-
fcate OF reasonable doubt regarding the
legality of his convictions.
The action Of Justice Golf. in granting
the stay of execution of sentence pend
ing the appeal was surprise to the de-
fence as well as the prosecution. Atty.
for Hyde, had prepared pa
pers for application to Justice Mccall
for certificate of reasonable doubt.

by the attorneys for the defence as in
dicating he had doubt whether the r,il-
ings he had made during the progress of
the trial We're in accordance with the
law affecting bribery of public official,
which is admittedly much involved.

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 4.--Chicf En-
gineer Elwell of the public utilities com.
mission, in his report OF an inquiry into
the wreck of the Merchants Limited FIX
press over the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad, at Greens Farms,
on Nov. Is, filed to-day, attributes the
cause to a broken equalizer bar on
diner, which, dragging through a switch,
disarranged the points and derailed the
cars next following. Mr.. Elwel said
that marks of hue dragging brokea bar
were discernble On the roadbed before
the switch was reached He finds that
the rails, ties and switch fastenings at
the point of wreck were in good condi-
tion. He says that at joint hear
ing with the interstate commerce com
mission il was conclusively shown that
the defect in the equalizer bar could
not have been seen at any car inspection.
Mr. Elwelfs recommendation is that
railroad companies frequently make spe-
cial examination of equipment with q
view of locating defects in metal parts.
