that he had told a press reporter that for 3000 deposited la a local bopk ho would produce the living body of Myrtle Hawkins sow generally supposed to be dead On tbe stand however when naked by tbe cross-examining attorney if he being willing to gee justice done at that price would produce the girl Shelnutt said he he could" An unexpected wltnese appeared In the person of John Denver of Transylvania county who having stopped over In Hendersonville to change trains voluntarily eateied the court and Informed attorneys for the defense that he had met and talked with Shelnutt last January at Orlando Fla and that he (Shelnutt) had told him then that Myrtle Hawkins waa not dead aa he (Shelnutt) had talked ta her a few days previously at Jackaon-vllla Mr Denver was immediately

three weeks met National Committeeman Alvah MaTtin and other leading Republicans from Virginia and discussed te situation with them A call from Secretary Hllles at the White House to Mr Slemp notifying him that a visit there might not be out of place at this time with the assurance of the President that the Old Dominion Republicans will stand firm for him was one of the Incidents of tha day Mr Martin and the other leaders got here this morning and met Mr Slemp at the Willard Hotel where bevdral hours were spent behind closed doors going over the situation Including the Chicago convention the question of how far the Virginia delegates should go In backing up Taft future patronage should Roosevelt be elected etc There seems to bo little doubt that Virginia delegates to Chicago wi'J vote for 8enator Root for temporary chairman and that they will stand loyal for Taft until they eee toe fight slipping away although something unexpected may happen at an moment At thla time Slemp and Martin have the organisation forces excellent shape and with the patronage machine running smoothly there is little reason to believe they will desert Taft unless they think he will be defeated In that case mere may le a quick face-about movement and probably a hurry-up call for tha Roosevelt band wagon Believes Wa Nearly Over London June In an interview with the Boole correspondent
