i: vans vllle. Ind., Feb. 2. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Oscar K. LuhrIng announced he would call the poiBoii case of Agnes Saulman, who died hew Sunday, Jan. 10, next Monday, but later be decided to begin the investigation before the grand Jury at once. One witness was called, a married woman who la said to have been jealous of the Saulman girl because she kept company with her husband secretly. The woman was closely examined and will probably be called again Friday. She "Wrote Threatening Letters. This woman is said to have written several letters to the girl saying that she would kill her. It is known that for three months before her death Agnes lived in constant fear she would be poisoned. It is also known that this woman visited the girl's room a short time before her death and left a mysterious letter. The letter was destroyed by Agnes, but it is said she told her sister before she died that the woman said she had at last "fixed her" and "put out her light." The enveloped in which the letter was sent is in the hands of the grand jury. Husband To lie Quizzed. The husband of the woman, who has all along refused to discuss his connection with the case, has been summoned to appear before the grandjury. One of the most important witnesses to be examined is a young man who kept steady company with Agnes for several months before she died and who wf.s in love with the girl. Told Her Lover the Secret. lie spent most of Ills timo with the giri several days before she died and it is understood she told him who administered the poison to her and how it "was done. This- young man's story has been kept from the public by the officials, who have cautioned him not to talk.

Not Effected by Sale. President Hanna, of the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend Railway com

pany, said Saturday, at LaPorte, that the sale of t." Northern Indiana Railway company's properties to the Mc-Gowan-Murdoek interests would have no effect on his road, and that his road would not be sold to those interests. The Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bond Railway company is building from Chicago to South Bend, through Kensington, Hammond, Gary, Valparaiso, Chesterton, Michigan City, and LaPorte, and, therefore, apparently will prove a rival of the new company in its project of building to Michigan City and Chicago. President Hanna said further that his road has arranged for its Chicago terminal, and that cars will be running betaween South Bend and Chicago next summer.

With forgery and alleged embezzlement, and misappropriation of funds cropping out of the Princeton elevator case, and with unsatisfactory evidence of the accidental drowning or suicide of Henry K.

It Is now asserted that, instead of having squandered tho funds of the elevator company In speculation on the board of trade, Agar pocketed many thousands of dollars and tied the country. A rumor that detectives are on his trail is current here. For this reason the search for his body in the Wabash river has been abandoned, and the searchers are waiting developments.

The selection of the twelfth Juror came as a complete surprise at the end of a long and tedious day the eighth of the trial and immediately after this last member of the trial panel had been sworn in Justice Fitzgerald ordered an adjournment of court until 10:30 a. m. Monday. Jerome Is Not Quite Satisfied. District Attorney Jerome, who has been contending for the removal of one of the men now in the jury box, but who failed to gain the consent of the defendant's counsel to a change, was still reluctant as court adjourned to begin the actual proceedings without a further opportunity to plead with Thaw's attorney. At this request, therefore, Justice Fitzgerald ordered

all talesmen who have not yet been examined to be in court Monday morning ready for jury service in case any are needed. Jerome then announced that If there should be no change in the situation In the meantime the stato would proceed to place all Its direct testimony before the jury at the Monday morning session. The defense was notified to be In readiness to proceed by Monday afternoon.

So it has sent a message to the New

York paper which published the item;.

urging that the name of the author of the item be supplied as well as the nau.es of any witness who could support the allegations of the article in question. The committee in Its message declares that local managers of the several telegraph companies deny that such a dispatch was carried over their wires.

Not Likely to Consent to Any Change Probable Plea of Thaw. "We are entirely satisfied with the jury," said Clifford W. Hartridge, Thaw's leading counsel, and he added the intimation that lie would not consent to any further alterations of the personnel. "The defense will be ready

to proceed the minute the prosecution has finished its case." declared John B. Gleason. another Thaw's attorneys. Assistant District Attorney Garvan will make the opening address for the prosecution. His remarks will be very brief, occupying perhaps not pore than twenty minutes. The state then will introduce only such witnesses as are

necessary to prove that Stanford White was shot and killed by Harry K. Thaw on the Madison Square Roof garden the night of June 2o last. A sensation was caused when a talesman under examination declared in reply to straight question that he had been spoken to about the case since coming into court. "Roger O'Mara, stand up," commanded Assistant District Attorney Garvan. Tin; Pittsburg detective (one of Thaw's sleuths) appeared for the first time in the case. The talesman said that O'Mraa was not the man. Then the defense called on a state deetctive to stand up. but the talesman said he wa not the man. Then he explained that he had simply conversed In a general way with those about him as to what was going on in the court room, and said that his final answer was an exact reply to the question put Everybody was laughing when the incident was closed. From the question which have so persistently been put to the talesmen by Thaw's attorneys as to any prejudice against a defense of insanity it Is at last generally conceded that a plea of emotional insanity will be the main reliance of the young defendant. This1 probably will lead to a cross questioning of the state's witnesses as to any peculiarity they may have noticed in Thaw's conduct the night of the tragedy, in which event the conclusion of the state's direct testimony may take longer than is now anticipated.

Man Supposed To Be Thomas A. Edison Taken to Atlanta City as an Invalid. Atlantic City, X. J., Feb. 2. A person supposed to bo Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, of Orange, N. J., was brought to this city by a special train and taken to a beach front hotel.

At the hotel the chief clerk said that he had orders not to disturb the patient, but that he believed that it was Edison. A trainman of the West Jersey and Seaboard railroad said ho was positive that the name given was Edison, but whether or not it is the inventor he could not say. It could not be learned the nature of his ailment.
