 While he sat in court today listening Matteewan to New Hampshire, Thaw had a shawl thrown over his shoulder and the neck of a heavy sweater turned up to his ears. Unless his illness interferes with their plans, Thaw's attorneys will place him upon the witness stand tomor- row. In this manner they said they hoped to show the jury that their client had recovered his sanity.

Carranza,s Reply

CarranZa neply Vera Cruz. March 10.---The following | is the text of General Carranzaa re- ply to the note of Secretary of State Bryan delivered by United States Con sul Silliman:
 'AIthough the terms in which this note is worded would afford me cause for not answering. it is my wish, not withstanding, that my silence not De construed as Justification of charges contained in the same. I have tried to put aside for the moment references which are made to my personal respoh- sfbility and looking only for the good of my country and for the benefit O. the cause which the Mexican people have entrusted to me. l thought It my duty to answer at once.
 "On the other hand. in view of the importance of the subject discussed III the aforesaid note. I have thought my self authorized not to follow this time customary channels but to address you ,President Wilson) personally con cerning t matter which may Involve the success of the Mexican revolution. In the note l am answering 1t is taken for granted that the imputations male against General Obregon bv an inter national committee of foreign residents in the City of Mexico the substance of which also has been communicated to me by Mir. Silliman Tn his note of the nFSl fnStdHt are true ana tnlS asSump- ton has been indulged in when the answer to those imputations was being prepared.
 Would Help Hungry
 Preserving the privilege of answer ing more fully and tn detail through tho customary diplomatic channels, take this opportunity to state an an earnest and emphatic way that Gen eral ObreEon never has intended tp incite the hungry populace of the City of Mexico to commit outrages or any character. He has not prevented in any way the entrance of food supplies into Mexico City but on the contrary has facilitated such iImportations. He has not created wilfully the distressing coh- ditions which prevail at present in Mexico City but has done everything in his power to alleviate them.
 such situation is the consequence of painful but unavoidable state nf war in which we are and which for the first time really has reached Mex ico City. but it has been aggravated
