Evans, the cele brated alienist, of New Tork city, is called, facetiously, since he termed Thaw's Insanity a "brain storm," la the chief star In the Bradley drama to day, and It 18 expected that he will furnish much of the entertainment for the morbid crowd of spectators. It was whispered last night that the defense had a big card up Its sleeve. If it was necessary to play It, In a new witness that will be subpenaed from Salt Lake City If It appears that an adverse decision will be rendered. How ever, Mr. Wells, chief counsel for the defense, said last night that they were perfectly satlsfled with the progress made, and that It would not be nec essary to call In this new witness. It is now expected that the court may sit In the Thanksgiving recess. The prosecution Is baffled. Its last and most secret card was forced out of Its hands yesterday by Judge Pow ers when he asked that the tom letter found at the Hotel Raleigh written to a friend, saying letters from Mrs. Adams should be preserved and offered In evidence In case she (Mrs. Bradley) did anything rash, be Introduced. One Question for Evans. The surprise of the morning was the failure of District Attorney Baker to cross-examine Dr. Baker D. Evans, the second and tlnal Insanity expert placed on the stand for the defense today. Mr. Baker, however, released Evans with the one question « whether since his arrival In the city he had examined Mrs. Bradley. Dr. Isaac Rich, of New York, on the day of the tragedy was at the Raleigh In the capacity of a contract represen tatlve of a New York firm, not then be.

He was put upon the stand flrst In order that an additional par agraph might be Included In the hypo thetical question aaked thta morning’s experts as to Mrs. Bradley's condition a few hours before she fired the fatal shot. Wild and 8taring Eyes. He had seen Mrs. Bradley twice pre vious to the shooting, once In the la dles' writing room and twice In the lobby. Once she brushed by him, mut tering and talking to herself. She walked from window to window, pacing the floor, very much agitated. Her hair was disarranged and her hat all awry. Her face, he described as first drawn, then relaxed, her eyes wild and staring and at times dilated, and hsr general appearance denoted that she .was men tally tired out. He had noted simitar conduct on the two other occasions. Both Dra. Evans and Hill mads ex cellent witnesses for the defense and stated unequlvocably that they believed ■Mrs. Bradley Insane when she shot for mer Senator Brown.

"Now assuming all thsse facts as set forth In the hypothetical question to be true, and assuming also to be true the facts set forth this morning by the wltneaa who has testified that the per son appeared wild, agitated, muttering to herself and wandering aimlessly about In the Raleigh on the day of the ■hooting and doing the other things as described by the witness, would you ‘ay that the person was sane or insane “t the time the fatal shot was fired T “I am of the opinion that she was In- •ane,’’ replied Dr. Evans.

"The president, within the limitation* of hls constlutlonal power, will not as sume to more than recommend to con gress a general plan of amending our currency laws, not desiring to usurp the powers of congress as a co-ordinate and law-making branch of the govern ment. "The president, however, Is firmly convinced that what the country needs Is not only additional currency, but a more elastic currency—elastic In the sense that It will contract aa well aa expand—according to tho emergency needs of the country. During the crop- moving season several hundreds of mil lions of additional currency Is needed to move the same for three or four months, and then In the spring money becomes redundant: and should the additional currency remain In the bonks, the banks to find Interest on such surplus would be tempted to al low such overplus to find Its way Into purely speculative channels to the det riment of trade and commerce. 8hould Tax Currency. "The president therefore believes that a sufficient tax shou|d be placed upon this additional currency to Insure Its redemption or retirement by the banka when not required by the business needs of the country.

Although all the entries have not arrived, many of them having been de layed by late trains and other Insur mountable difficulties, the show as I was Tuesdny morning was pronounced by those who are In position to Judge, as the most magnificent display of poultry and pigeons ever seen In the South. Beyond alt shadow of doubt the entries surpass anything ever seen In Atlanta, and when It la completed Tuesday afternoon the exhibition will compare favorably with the shows seen at Madison Square. "I can't see why It shouldn't be classed along with the shows they have In the Northern and Eastern cities, anyhow,” • said a visitor to the show Tuesday. "All It takes to make a fine ■how Is fine birds, and though they may go about It on a little larger scale up there, it's an open and shut propo sition that they don't have any finer birds than are placed on exhibition right here In Atlanta.” The entries Include many breeds of poultry and pigeons that have carried off silver cups ami other valuable pre miums at many different shows, and It Is a rare treat to lovers of poultry to visit the warehouse and see the. choice collection that Is on exhibition there. Superintendent Alf Bertllng and Secretary George Wade were both kept busy iuesaay morning putting on the finishing touches and arranging pens, coops and kennels. Express wagons and drays were still making frequent trips to the warehouse with new en tries, and lo find places for them was a proposition which kept the minds of, both these gentlemen actively at work throughout the morning. The Judges, George Ewald, of Cln rlnnatl, and N. R. Hutchinson, of Crys. tal Springs. Miss., two well known poultry and pet stock fanciers, have ar. rived and the Judging began Tuesday at noon. Mr. Ewald Is judge of the bantams, pigeons and pet stock, while Mr. Hutchinson Is In charge of the Itoultry. "We are well pleased wtlh the open ing,’' said Secretary Wade Tuesday, "and the prospects are that the people of Atlanta and the surrounding country will give us a splendid patronage. It may not be exactly In form for me to boast, hut I think 1 may say that they have never seen a finer %how In this section of the country.” In default of a bond of 1500, pretty little Mrs. Eva McGlnty, accused of the theft of 2210 worth of diamonds, Is now locked In the Tower. The young woman, who la but 17 years of age and a bride of only a few months, appeared before Recordor Broyles Monday afternoon stylishly at tired In red, wearing a big picture hat. and with her girlish, doll-like face half hidden In a black doited veil. She stood stolidly before the court and the great crowd of spectators, which thronged the court room, and frequent ly smiled os the story of her alleged theft was laid hare. Her expression never once changed as the recorder or. dered her held for trial In the state courts, and she walked lightly back to the prisoners' room. Little Mrs. McGlnty Is accused of mond rings which had been loaned her to wear by different persons. The dia monds are said lo hnve been pawned, after which the girt took a trip to Ma con, Savannnh and Jacksonville.

The rings were never returned. J. F. Jenkins, of 381 Luckle street, ■aid he had loaned the girl a diamond ring valued at 250. Sergeant Lanford said he had learned this ring was pawned in Savannah. It was also shown that IV. T. Minor, of 185 Courtland street, had encoun- terld a similar experience with the girl. Although‘Minor wns not In rourt.
