The Governor was to have left

was looking to the Democratic party
to lead the way to restoration Of
the basic principles upon which the
government was founded.
Although New York has not
reached the ultimate in govern

made vast strides during the past
few years toward modernization
which should be an example to the

HAMPTON, Va, September 19.-The
doors of the Hampton jail swung open
today for Elisha Kent Kane. while au-
thorities concentrated on development
of the evidence they expect to present
wednesday at his preliminary hearing
on a charge of drowning his wife at
Grand View Beach.
The young University Of Tennessee
professor, well dressed and freshly
shaved, paused only to thank the jailer
for kindnesses after his $4,000 bond
had been presented and approved by
the court before entering an automobile
with relatives to be driven away. He
announced that the preliminary hear
ing in County Police Court will not be
waived.
Seek Writer'S Identity.
County authorities sought to identify
the writer of letters signed Betty" and
''E. H. D." which Coroner George K
Vanderslice said were important factors
in his verdict that the drowning of
Mrs. Jenny Graham Kane q week ago
yesterday was an act Of 'premeditated
murder" on the part of Prof. Kane. If
the officers had obtained any new in
formation, however, 1t was not d.
Yulged.
Prof Kane contends that the drown
ing was accidental and that he made
efforts to rescue and to resuscitate his
wife, pulling her to shore and driving
to hospital when efforts to revive her
failed. His father, DR.. Evan O'Nein
Kane, has asserted his complete conf
dence in his sons innocence.
Testimony Withheld.
Although the officers made public the
letters from what they said was "the
other woman In the case" the testi-
mony taken during the four-day coro-
ner's inquest has not been revealed.
Should the case against the young
professor be presented to the grand
Jury IL would come up for hearing at
the regular term on October 5.
