He McCormick In Yorkvllle prison as th murderer. On Its face the story was improbable The World reporters Investigated i carefully and discovered that Marren himself had attempted liberties with lit He girls similar to the assault which re suited in Mamie's murder. The mos thorough investigation failed to brln out a single fact Joe's stary. What it did bring out however, was a string of wltnesse whose testimony, when joined togther established a perfect alibi for McCor mluk.

Then Inspector Brooks hired an Italian bootblacl: and placed him in the sam room with young Marreno, who was'di: tamed, in the custody of the Gerry SocI as a witness.

Half an hour later there was a crowd of a score or more In- the little room, end to' his' friends and sympathizers who kept'coming in all the afternoon, McCormick told about his sufferings in prison under the awful accusation ana the mental torture which his fears for his wife had added to lliem. wouldn't have minded it so much If It hadn't been for poor Lizzie here. The only consolation I had, finally, was the knowledge that The World reporters were at work to find out the truth, aitl that tney had brought friends and food to my wife. I knew that when'-the truth was- brought out my Innocence would appear.

But I'm glad I didn't nave the police to depend on. From mv experience with them I think that if It hadn't been for The World I would be In my cell to-night, and that my chances on a trial wouldn't have been of the best after all their witnesses got through." McCormick has been out of work fot two or three months now. His wife, who used to do scrubbing, has been in bed nearly all that time. She is weak and wasted, and cannot raise her voice above a whisper. Consumption- has set Us dread seal upon her.

The approach on the New York end will take In the whole two blocks bounded by Clinton, Delnncey, Norfolk and Broome streets. The Commissioners were anxious to build a straight approach at both ends of the new bridge, but'to do this they up South Fifth this will require legislative action. Under the circumstances the committee decided to build the Brooklyn approach-with a slight deflection to Broadway, clearing fifth street, pending action by the Legislature to permit of the straight approach.

It has''-toot been without a hard struggle that Commissioners Salem H. Wales and F. B. Thurber, who favored the plan for a straight approach, have gained their point. Commissioner Richard and many property-owners were In favor an ap- jroach from Grand street; through Wilett street, and turning into Delancey down to the river.

It was held by the flrst two Commissioners that this approach was Inadvisable, as the street car tracks woulu lave to'turn at angles on a grade, and that the traffic of the bridge 18 feet wide, would be disgorged Into another highway seventy feet wide. Commissioner. Thurber said: "As re-1 jards the New York approach, I was Inclined to the blllef that the terminus at Grand, Fitt and Wlllett streets was the natural one.
