Delnias blocked an attempt of Je

affidavit In which Evelyn Is alleged to
have sworn to alleged abuses by Thaw
while In Europe. Tha district attornsy
sprung a big surprise in hla argument
by declaring that he purposed to show
that the Huntmei affidavit, which Eve
lyn ealtl had been burned In her pres
ence. had not been destroyed, but was
at thla very moment In the possession
of the defense.
Jerome explained that he was thus
trying to lay the basis to get secondary
evidence as to the contents uf tha affi
davit. Thaw's lawyers showed surprise
at the sudden turn Jerome look. Jerome
asked Longfellow If any messages he
had received from Evelyn relatad ta
the famous affidavit. The witness aaPl
"No."

Mrs. Evelyn In November. IMS. had
handed him a paper which purported

that paper."
Answering s question, Longfellow
said he hail never before seen an affi
davit similar to the one which Jeromo
had hsntled him to Identify.
Thaw turned to one of the newspaper
reporters sitting near and said:
"I hail never heard of the existence

Hard Luck Story Told
by New Head of
S. A. L.
"The railroads have reached the
danger line." said W. A. Garrett, new
president of the Heaboard Air Line
system, who arrived In Atlanta Monday
morning with a number of operating
officials on a regular trip of Inspec
tion. "Excessive taxation, tines, penal
ties, adverse legislation, lowering nf
tariffs, have so cut down the earnings
of the railroads that the Interest on
the bonds cannot be paid."
The statement came In answer to a
question concerning a panic among the
railroad stocks because iof treatment
and legislation'throughout the coun
try. President Garrett, democratic In
every respect, had Just stepped from
his private car at the union depot.
He and his officials had started for
the Terminal Btatlon and Invited tha
reporters to walk snd talk with him.
"If we don’t earn any money." he.
he continued, "how can wa borrow any
and If we can't borrow money how
can we make any Improvements, ex
tend our lines, better our equipment
or secure better facilities? No one
will lend any money to a railroad that
