The popular construction of this is that the receiver shall receive per cent, on every dollar taken in-and another 2V4 per cent, on ev ry dollar paid out, making a total of 5 per cent, of all the assets handled.

Then occurred a rather dramatic incident In connection with the second victory of the wife coming so hard upon the heels of tho annulment decision. Lawyer Nieman wanted to know whether there was any dispute as to whether the contents of the house were included with the transaction.

Then Colonel Stokes' lips shut with a snap and he followed his lawyer out Into the corridor. construction of the loop is not begun aired before Supreme Court Justice Mar-ean, who wouldn't free the colonel from the tie that binds him to his wife.

Box had known Mr. and Mrs. Hitchings for many years prior to the disappearance of Hitchings, in 189S, and, at the solicitation of Colonel Stokes, he said, he went West and saw Hitchings and got a deposition from him. This deposition was made part of the. evidence, although it was not disputed by Mrs.

Stokes. Colonel Stokes followed Mr. Box on the witness stand. Ho said he had mar. "If any one," he declared, "asserts that the magistrate acted harshly toward me Intend to hold a bond sale, some time next month and we will realize enough they are telling an absolute untruth.

But all tho other witnesses, with the exception of a telephone girl at the Grand Hotel, were either witnesses of tha tragedy or saw Thaw at tho coroner's Inquest that followed the tragedy, and each of them was asked tho same questions and each of tbem gave the same sort of responses. Mr. Jerome shattered some of this testimony very considerably on cross-examination, making two or three of the witnesses look foolish before he got through with them, but still a lai-gi amount of testimony tending to show Thaw's irrational condition, was placed before tho Jury. Once or twice a laugh was raised as a result of Jerome's questioning of witnesses, but otherwise the morning was an exceedingly dull one, aud when tho recess hour arrived practically everyone breathed a sigh of relief and the exit from the court room was a hurried one. Battle Over Legal Testimony Resumed.

The legal battle over tho admission of the testimony of physicians as to tho mental condition of uncles, aunts and cousins of the defendant was resumed with the calling of the day's first witness this morning. The witness was Dr. Horatius C. Wood of Philadelphia, who examined Harriet Alice Thaw, half-sister of William Thaw, In tho spring of 1904. He was finally permitted to state that shot was of unsound mind, but he was not allowed to go much further.

Her troubli was a form of dementia. Christopher Bnggan, an attendant at the New York Whist Club's rooms, a resident of Brooklyn, testified that Thaw was at the club a day or two before the nlgbt on which he killed Stanford White, in June, 1906, and was also thero on the day money, I anticipate, to continue with There, asserted the magistrate when By such a method tne tjonBiiiuiiouauam h. nnaitlon to appeal to the the subway construction work which has the names of all had been signed to the been planned by the old and new com up the fight until Dolson Is removed." Dol3on's lucrative contract with Hasbrouck stirred the wrath of the depositors whon they read of It yesterday afternoon. The contract Is an even richer plum for Dolson than was stated yesterday. Instead of getting $80,000 for eighteen months' work, Dolson Is guaranteed practically $120,000 under one construction of the contract.

How the Contract Takes Care of Dolson. Dolson received $4,000 a year as deputy attorney general. His contract with Hasbrouck may net him $80,000 a year, or just twenty times the salary he was receiving when he was appointed counsel to the receiver. Mr. Higgins figures that Dolson would get $80,000 for eighteen months work, but his figures aro based on a construction of the contract that doesn't harmonize with the Dolson-Has-brouck construction of the meaning of the term "2 per cent, on all moneys received and disbursed." The Dolson contract provides that Dolson shall be counsel for eighteen months and shall receive 2 per cent, on all moneys received and disbursed, and that he shall receive an additional 2 per cent, on all money recovered by him la litigation, through settlement or negotiation.

The usual construction of the receivership law would give Dolson 2 per cent, on all money coming In and 2 per cent, on all money going out, although the missions. affidavits.

When the action over the ownership the St. Mark's avenue house was reached this afternoon there was some little delay In getting started because of the temporary absence from the court house of Major Hamilton, Colonel Stokes' lawyer.

month he did get an order for the $1,000 and Charles A. Dolson got another $1,000 as an advance on counsel fees. Higgins Was Against Dolson From the Start. It developed to-day that the fight on Dolson is no new attack. When Mr.

Higgins assumed his duties as one of the receivers, one of his first acts was to request Dolson to retire from the counsel-ship. Dolson declined to give up his place. Mr. Higgins asked Mr. Hasbrouck to remove Dolson, but Hasbrouck I said he would do no such thing.

Mr. Higgins was anxious to get Dolson out of the way and procure tne appointment of Charles M. Stafford as counsel. He argued that Mr. Stafford should be appointed because of his knowledge of the bank's affairs, his high standing as a lawyer and because he was not a man who had already defied public sentiment by declaring he didn't give a damn for Brooklyn's public.
