little if any evidence that hedges were

mission house selling soon revealed
that the pit here was without MANY
aggressive bulls and that with weather
conditions favorable both for winter
crops growth and for seeding, the
bears were in majority.
May delivery, which in the early
dealings showed more firmness than
did the later months, was relatively
the weakest, however, as the day ap-
preached an end. Traders who wished
to settle May accounts in advance were
not anxious buyers and there was gos-
sip too, that private crop reports due
on Monday would prove somewhat
bearish.
Corn and oats were eased by better
weather for field work. Bulls, though,
were inclined to emphasize an unoffi-
cial estimate that total supplies of
country are now 28.S per cent less than
was the case a year ago.
Provisions eased down as a result of
scattered selling, which offset an up
turn in the value of hogs

Colorado. on Sunday. He was at the home of Probation Officer E. c. Connolly yesterday, and in addition to ex- pressing his heartfelt thanks for all that MT. Connolly did for him, he declared his intention of conveying to former Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa q similar message. Mr. Paonessa and Mir. Connolly appeared before the board of pardons in Evanoff's inter- ests several times and it was largely through their efforts that the pardon was obtained.
 Evanoff's son, Teddy" is l 1 years of age and is being well cared for in Denver by Evanoff's brother. If there is a feeling more thrilling than that which Evanoff experienced when he learned he was free. it is that with which he looks forward to seeing his son again. He told Mir. Connolly his one great hope is that Teddy" will recognize him. The boy has been kept informed of the existence of his father and has re- ceived money from him from time to time. in addition to gifts of toys which Evanoff made in prison.

that such was not the truth. had he cared for such an affidavit. And could have done this, for any such statements by Judge Thayer would have remained in my memory. How ever, Mir. Thompson did not ask me if l remembered any specific state ments.
 T was also telephoned by a Bos- ton newspaper man who said that he had g copy of an affidavit by Mr Benchley and asked if I had anything to say about it. When l invited him to read it. he declined. Naturally, had nothing to say.
 My wife. who is mentioned by Mir. Benchley as being one of the party to whom I repeated the judges language, denies any recollection of the entire episode"
 Judge Webster Thayer could not be reached today at his home or his office. Friends were unable. they said, to give any clue as to his whereabouts. It was understood that he had planned to go away for weeks quiet rest

DENIES HEARING
 JUDGES REMARKS
Goes Brands Part of Affidavit
 as False

Worcester, Mass. May R-Lor- ing Goes of the Goes Wrench com pany today denied the truth of an affidavit made by Robert C. Bench Icy, dramatic editor of "Life3' in the Sacco-Vanzetti case that Goes had told him how Judge Webster Thayer had cursed Sacco and Vanzetti and made other prejudicial statements concerning the two men. Mir. Goes said that his wife, who MT. Bench lcy's affidavit declares was present also denied the truth of Benchley's claims.
 Benchley's affidavit was one of several filed with Governor Fuller yesterday in support of plea for liberty.
 Mir. Goes made the following state ment:
 T flatly deny the truth of MT. Benchleys statement that Judge Thayer said he would like to hang few dozen of these radicals, or any of the other statements which Mr. Benchley alleges told him the judge had made.
 "I do not recall any such incident as MT. Benchley describes in his affidavit. MT. Benchley and his wife have been close friends of my wife and myself and have frequently been our guests It is possible that he was at the country club with us, as ha says.
 "I have known Judge Thayer since 1908. l have never heard him use language that he could not repeat in mixed company, and have played golf with him.
 Had Judge Thayer. in my hear ing. made the statements which Mir. Benchley charges ne with repeating to him, I should have remembered it. It would have made as vivid an impression upon me as NIT. Bench ley claims it made upon him. if any such statement had been made.
 Any such statements as those which Mr. Benchley credits to the judge would not have escaped my recollection.
 T am particularly annoyed by Mr. Benchleys closing statement that l was thrown from my horse and sustained an injury from which I have not completely recovered. bearing as it does the insinuation that my memory has been affected and that, of course. any statement by me would not be valuable. My memory is not affected.
 MT. Benchley makes the further statement that I was requested by MT. Thompson, counsel for the two men, to make an affidavit as to the incident and that l declined to do so because of difficulty in remem- bering and also because of my friendship with Judge Thayer. l was not requested to make an affidavit. Mr. Thompson telephoned me and asked me if I recalled telling MT. Berchley something Judge Thayer had said. I informed him that l did not remember. He did not say what it was that I was supposed to have heard Judge Thayer say. If he had told me so. I should have been glad to give him an affidavit
