Chattanooga, Tenn., March 5.—It Is
claimed by some people here that the
Louisville and Nashville railroad has
been laying plans to force the state of
Georgia to sell the Western ami At
lantic railroad by diverting freight to
some other road than the Western and
Atlantic. The Georgia legislature at
ltd last session refused to re-lease' the
railroad to the Louisville and Nashville
railroad. -The scheme of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad. It Is said, was
to withdraw rates on the Western and
Atlantic railroad after the Louisville
and Nashville road had reached At
lanta over Its own lines through
Knoxville to Cartereville. Speaking
of the matter, a promlm nt Nashville,
Chattanooga and Ht. Louis railroad of-
flclal said thnt the condition complained
of Is the natural result of the hew line
which has been opened up by the
Louisville road.: "Up to two years
ago." said he. "the Louisville and
Nashville railroad routed Its Cltuin-
natt-Atlnnta freight Into Nashville, and
then turned It over to the Nashville j HjhmIaI t<
road to Chattanooga and then ove“
the Western und Atlantic railroad t.
Atlanta. Hut since the road bus se
cured a line of its own direct to At
lanta this freight Is routed over its own
line."

So well arranged has been the revo-

In lsrndon It Is (Irmly believed .that
the exar will attempt to thwart thq
establishment of a constitutional gov-
eminent either by disbanding the body
ns he did with the last douma, or by
imprisoning Its members for defying
his autocratic power. In either event

stronger than the last douma.

While quentlonlng the wltnenn, Je

"These unseemly retnurkn by the
learned district attorney have gone too
fur. He ha* repeatedly Indulged In
them toward the wltnenn, and now he
Indulge^ In them toward couneel."
Jerome jirgued that the court In the
beginning had nuntalned hi* objection
to the ndmlenlon of conversations of
the defendant with the experts until
after the experts for the defense had
expressed an opinion an to hln mental
condition.
"When the experts did express their
opinion." added Jerome, "counsel for the
defense carefully refrained from ask
ing anything about those conversations.
The legal presumption Is thft he Is now
Innune. If the evidence submitted Is
true, there Is nothing else but to as
sume he was and still Is Insane."
"Will you admit he was Insane on
the night of the shooting?" asked I>et-
mai.
Wouldn't Admit It.
•*! will not admit It," said Jerome.
"Do you mean that there Is legal
presumption that he Is now Insane?"
asked Fltxgerald.
“That he was Insane* the night of the
shooting?" asked !>elmus.
Justice Fltxgerald told the district
attorney to produce authorities on the
subject.
T shall not submit any authorities
to the court on a proposition which Is
so elementary and Is supported by so
many authorities that 1 will assume
that the court must take my knowledge
of them for granted.”
Kvldently realizing that he might
have gone too far, Jerome added:

court not to assume that It Is familiar
with the authorities."
Fitzgerald Got Angry.

What Thaw Told Him.
l>r.. Wagner said;
"I asked Mr. Thaw to tell me some
thing of the circumstances of the case
