Air Line road between Wilmington and Hamlet. The rails are such as were-Jn use: twenty 'years or more ago and are worn so badly that it is considered, wenderful that wrecks do. not occur every, few days; That more wrecks do not occur is perhaps because the road is very level and one of the' stralghtest In the whole country. Promises have been made by the Seaboard, officials time and -again in regard to making Improvements on the line, but the months and the years pass , without the Improvements being made. The distance between the. two points Is about 100 males. It now looks like the company will be compelled to make the desired improvements, for the following order was made today by tho corporation commission: Whereas numerous complaints were made to the . corporation commission during the year 1806 as tp the" unsafe and dangerous-condition of the Sea board Air Line Railroad from Hamlet to Wilmington; and, " "Whereas when said complaints were called to the attention of the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company, they promised to drain and surface in thor oughly good condition early In Jhe year M07t and, Whereas said promise has pot been Ktrf ."Whereas, H appears to the corpora tion commission that this IS necessary to secure the facility, convenience,' bom fort and na.tetv.ttt the nubile; :.'. .; , "It Js, therefore; ordered, under and PJM virtue of powers conferred by an act of ths geneal assembly of 1907, that the Seaboard Air Line .

Apparently his task f was to keep the keenest kind -of watch on Thaw himself, his actions and his oddities. If any, on giving his replioa. There was little delay. . Chairman McClure at once ,. plunged into the consideration of whether or not Thaw had any knowledge of the proceed ings themselves. Then the text step was to take up the Jotters and notes of Thaw to Delmas nd others of his counsel, written during the progress oft the trial. These, had been em bodied in tho affidavits submitted by tho defense. ? '. - - Some of the OBest ions Asked. Thaw had to explain these letters and notes in the minutest detail.
