WADE TRIAL IS RESUMED TODAY Defense Pins Faith to ‘Brain Storm’ Plea. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Jan. 11.—Refreshed by three days rest in the county jail during the recess of court, Elwoou B. Wade, young milk dealer, who Is charged with the brutal slaying of George B Nott, betrayed no sign today when the trial was resumed that he feared either the hangman's noose, or confinement in a hospital for the criminally insane. Either one or the other of those verdicts was expected to be returned before the week ended by those who have closely followed the case. The defense has not combatted evidence that young Wade, though married and the father of two children, was madly in love with Mrs. Nott, that he crept upstairs in the Nott home and shot, beat and hacked bis paramour's husband to death, that Wade had lain in- wait with a hired “assassin” to "Bet" Nott previous to the murder, and that he mopped up the blood, put on one of Nott’s shirts and, with John 10, Johnston, his “good man Friday," dumped a trunk containing Nott's body In a swamp from where it was believed by Wade it would soon disappear. The defense has pinned its faith in s- virg Wade's neck from a hangman's rope by expert testimony that i excused youth has the "mind of a child,” has ever been subnormal, and with three of his grandparents insane, Inherited a streak of "brain storm" that made him utterly irresponsible. Mrs. Wade, wife of the prisoner, was again in court, her anxious attention to the proceedings betraying her hope that the father of her children would not be found guilty as a murderer and hanged.

‘Nonsense,’ Cries Mary Garden to Jealousy Charge CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—Mary Garden rose languidly from the divan upon which she had been reclining. Then with a sinuous gesture she smoothed out the long lines of her Thais-like morning robe. ‘‘Nonsense,’’ exclaimed Mary. "I don't eve.n know the woman. As for being jealous of her clothes or her singing—la la." Mary. Chicago's own opera diva, was inspired to these scornful restatements given out in New York marks by questions as to he.r opinion of statements' given out In New York by Dorothy Jardon soprano In the Chicago Opera Company’ two years ago. Miss Jardon said that Miss Garden was not only Jealous of the roles assigned to her, but even jealous of her clothes. Likewise, friends of Mme. Ganna Waiska, the Polish opera singer and wife of Alexander Smith Cochran, millionaire, declared that her sudden departure from the Chicago company was caused by the same jealousy. Some of Mary's langtiidness disappeared when Mme. Wulska's name was mentioned. "Nonsense,” she repeated. "These reports are silly. How could I be Jealous of the gowns of these women when I have-not even seen them?” ' There is a report also that you are going to succeed Gino Marlnuzz: as artistic director of the opera company," Mary was informed. "That,” she said, “is another report. I suppose there always will be reports and rumors and gossip.”
