ONLY SEERS TO
E
So Declares Thaw's Counsel in
Asking Acquittal Qn
Insanity Plea.
JEROME ROUNDLY SCORED
IJUleton Declares Prosecutor Vio
lated Proprieties Toward Ie fond
ant's Wife Wliile Vouching tor
Testimony of Hummel.
NE"W YORK, Jan- 29. Martin W. Lit
tleton, chief counsel In the defense of
Harry K. Thaw, today asked for the
acquittal of his client upon the ground of
insanity, declaring he could not see how,
In the face of the evidence, the Jury
could render any other verdict. The
serious and sincere evidence of the de
fense tending to establish the ' insanity
of the defendant, Mr. Littleton declared,
has been answered only by the sneers
and the insinuations of District Attorney
Jerome.
These sneers and insinuations, the
ycmng Pittsburger's advocate asserted,
were not competent proof that the law
required the prosecuting authorities to
produce, once the insanity of the accused
person was made the issue. He repeat
edly urged upon the Jury to remember
that In a case of this kind the burden of
proof rests wholly upon the state to
prove the sanity of the defendant beyond
all reasonable doubt. . .
not Shots for Jerome.
Mr. Littleton warmly defended Evelyn
Kesbit Thaw against the attacks of Dis
trict Attorney Jerome. He said he could
not understand what she had done, what
great crime she had committed, consid
ered In the light of all she had confessed
herself to be, that the prosecutor should
transcend all the rules of propriety and
decency and attempt to destroy her, when
in the next breath he was ready to "cod
dle and hug and vouch for the testimony
of such a scoundrel as Abraham H. Hum
mel, the very vermin of the New York
bar.
The address of the defending attorney
took up all of the session, and Mr.
Jerome Is expected to reply tomorrow.
If he should finish at the morning ses
sion. Justice Dowling will charge the jury
during the afternoon. If Mr. Jerome's
a dress should extend well into the after
noon, however, the case will not go to
the Jury until Friday.
M r. Littleton urged today that there
should be no compromise. He asserted
that if any doubt exists In the minds of
the Jurors, they should dissolve It in fa
vor of the defendant and acquit him. He
begged them not to be misled by the Dis
trict Attorney into voting for a verdict
of conviction in some lesser degree than
that of primary murder.
Wants Xo Compromise.
Any verdict of not guilty in the case, it
Is said, will carry with it the assumption
ttiat (t was rendered on the ground of
the insanity of the defendant, whether or
not the insanity clause Is added.- The
pk-a of not guilty entered in the case car
ried with it the specification that the de
fendant was insane when the crime was
committed.
Mr. Littleton's argument was forceful
and impressive. He refrained from ap
pealing to the passions of the Jurors and
devoted himself to a logical consideration
of the facts as adduced in evidence. He
made no attempt to eulogize Thaw and
he asked for hlmno more consideration
than the average American boy had a
right to demand of an American Jury. The
peeoh was replete with epigrams and
the short sentences were filled with the
pith of logic and the quality of appeal.
The Jurymen followed it with Intense in
terest, and it was generally onceded that
Mr. Littleton had left Mr. Jerome a diffi
cult task. He said:
Nothing but Insinuations.
1 eonfou to you, gentlemen, that I do not
know what the District Attorney has meant
In thla cue, I cannot fathom how he feel.
He has urjwd the burden under the law and
I am waiting with much Impatience to hear
, what facts, what evidence, what clrcum
: stances h will suggest to you as having been
presented by him to show you that this de
fendant Is sane beyond all reasonable doubt.
Insinuation are all I have heard. He tried
to confuse some witnesses who said that
Thaw could remember some of the things
that had happened during bis periods of
mania. Can you, gentlemen, clearly remem
ber the details of your dreams at night when
you wake up In the morning, but can you
eay when you dreamed them?
"Where U the District Attorney's proof T
Where are the scientists, the books on in
sanity with which he has shown such thor
ough familiarity In the past? Where is the
gallant band of alienists nine of them who
appeared In the last trial and are still alive?
Where are they: why are they not here to
answer our case?
Mr. Littleton, In speaking of Evelyn
Jsesblt Thaw said:
Antipathy Toward Evelyn.
1 do not know what the Judgment of you
gentlemen as to her morals or a to any
reprehrnpiblUty t conduct either with Stan
ford White or Mr. Thaw, hut the District
Attorney's manner toward her in my judg
ment exceeded anything she deserved. It
s mounted to unofficial antinathy an an
tipathy which I believe exceeded by far
the necesnities or duties of his office. There
always were the notes of the savagery and
bitterness in his examination - or her and
In his comments upon hor before this jury,
which were not Justified by the facts of this
case.
I do not know how you gentlemen feel
about it. but It has been generally under
stood that a woman when he takes the
w ltness stand in this country is at least
entitled to have her testimony elicited with
es much gentility, care, tenderness and re
gard of the ordinary proprieties that ordi
narily governs the intercourse of men and
women.
Abuse Jerome's Object.
I do not say the the District Attorney
transcended the proprieties and decencies;
I leave It to ynu. l may he partisan. It
has seemed to me that Mr. Jerome was
nore intent on abusing this young woman
t'.ian on convicting Thaw. The trend of
lit- at tuck would lead you to believe that
M m. Thaw and not her husband was on
trial before you.
What was there about this young woman
or aguint her that Mr. Jerome should pace
up and down before you like a caged lion
when he was questioning her. and glare
and srlure at her and clinch his teeth at
hr not even sitting down when I was
comluctlng the examination what was
there about hor that could Justify uch
treatment from a man who could coddle
and hug and vouch for this loathsome little
Hummel ? I do not want to be unfair to
Mr. Jerome we arc very good friends. I
do not. 1 repeat, .k you to take my view
Of him. Judge for yourselves.

RIOT IN LISBON STREETS
Serious Political Clash Results In
Exchange of Shots.
LISBON, Portugal, Jan. 29. There was
an outbreak of political rioting on the
streets of this city this afternoon in
which shots were fired and some people
wounded. The disorders, however, were
of short duration. The police had re
ceived warning in advance and they
acted promptly. The crowd made use of
revolvers and for a few moments the
firing was heavy, but it rapidly gave way
and was dispersed before a show of force.
An official statement published after
the encounter says a number of persons
received mortal wounds. There has been
no further outbreak- and the city fs now
quiet.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29. (Special.)
That James L. Gallagher, who was chief
of the boodllng Schmltz-Ruef Board of
Supervisors in San Francisco, intends to
become a country gentleman of Alameda
was shown by deeds filed today covering
three lots In the fashionable Lake Shore
Park Heights district of Oakland. Galla
gher purchased the property from
Wlekham-Havens Company.
The fact that no mortgages or deeds
of trust have been recorded on any of
his acquisitions was taken by deputies
in the Recorder's office as indicating that
Gallagher had paid cash. No price was
made public today, but the documents
contained restrictions forbidding the
erection of dwellings costing less than
J3500 on the lots.

British Cabinet Programme

SESSION OPENS WITH POMP
Even Modified Legislative Pro
gramme Arouses Balfour Guard
Against Woman Suffragists
During Royal Progress.
LONDON, Jan. 29. Big as is the Liberal
programme of legislation for the session
of Parliament, which opened today, and
earnest as the government leaders have
shown -themselves to be in their endeavor
to meet the views of all factions, consti
tuting the radical majority in the House
of Commons, there s a well-definedi feel
ing of disappointment among the minis
terial supporters that the Cabinet has not
been one definitely radical in its pro
posals. The speeches of the Cabinet representa
tives since the last session of Parliament
have led to the expectation of more defi
nite proposals with regard to the govern
ment's Irish policy, old age pensions, ed
ucation, to mention only a few subjects,
references to which In the King's speech
did not satisfy the respective elements
especially interested therein.
King Checks Radicalism.
Rumors from Dublin had forecasted an
other Irish council bill, but there has been
substituted for this a measure which, if
it passese, will only deprive the landlords
of their grazing land in certain sections.
There is an Inclination the King used his
influence, as far as he was able without
overstepping the -constitutional bounds, to
modify the more sweeping proposals with
which the Cabinet is credited by those
usually in its confidence
Even the whittled programme, howevei,
strikes old parliamentarians with aston
ishment. "Stupendous" was the word
frequently heard in the lobby of Parlia
ment applied to this programme. Mr.
Balfour, leader of the opposition party,
in the course of the debate on the ad
dress In reply to the speech from the
throne, declared that it could not be car
ried through without an unprecedentedly
violent use of the guillotine, which prac
tically would stifle free debate.
The criticisms of Mr. Balfour In the
Commons and Lord Lansdowne, the op
position leader, in- the House of Lords,
on the government proposals apart from
the length of the programme, was di
rected against the peace conference at
The Hague and the Anglo-Russian con
vention. Compliment to Japan.
Lord Lansdowne took occasion to ex
press his gratification that the difficulty
with the United States regarding the
Newfoundland fisheries question was go
ing to arbitration and considered the
settlement of difficulties between Canada
and Japan "was most creditable, not only
to the Dominion, but the government of
our ally, who had exhibited not for the
first time self-restraint which had elicited
the admiration of all who had opportuni
ties of coming into close contact with its
diplomatic proceedings."
The very notable absence In the King's
speech of any reference to the relations
between the two houses of Parliament
was sarcastically referred to by Lord
Lansdowne. It is understood the Cabi
net has decided to postpone this light un
til next year;
It is expected the debate on the address
in reply to the speech from the throne
will last 10 days, and that the real work
of the session will begin about Feb
ruary 10.
EDWARD OPEXS PARLIAMENT
Special Guard Against Suffragettes.
Proposes Maritime Conference.
LONDON, Jan. 29. The rarest event
of a London Winter, a clear and sunny
day, favored the royal procession to
Westminster today, where King Edward
op'ened Parliament with the same cere
monies that have been observed for cen
turies. King Edward read the speech from
the throne. Queen Alexandra was seated
on a chair of state at his right; the
Prince and Princess of Wales were on
his left and he was surrounded by a
group of state officers.
The menace of an outbreak on the
part of the - women suffragists of
England, gave an unusual interest
to the formal proceedings of to
day.' Greater precautions could not have
been taken if anarchist uprisings had
been feared. The only ladies admitted
to the galleries of Parliament were those
for whom members vouched in writing as
their wives or relatives, and the police
who were on duty around Westminster
and throughout the House of Parliament
were Instructed to keep, especial watch
over all women.
His Majesty in his speech referred in
conventional words to the visit of the
German Emperor which, he said, could
not fail to confirm the friendly relations
existing between the two powers; to the
death of King Oscar of Sweden and the
conclusion of ' the Russian agreement.
Acting in the spirit of this agreement, in
spite of the complications In Persia, the
two governments had maintained a pol
icy of peace.
Guarantee Norway's Integrity.
Continuing, the King said:
"My government has Joined .with the
governments of France, Germany and
Russia in a treaty for the preservation
of the integrity of the Kingdom of "Nor
way." Referring to The Hague Peace Confer
ence, the King said:
"The various instruments annexed, to
the final act of that conference show the
progress that has been made, and they
are receiving the attentive consideration
of my government. One of the most im
portant of these- instruments establishes
the great principle or an international
court of appeal in prize cases. My gov
ernment is considering the question of

"The condition of the Christian and
Mussulman populations in the Macedon
ian vilayets shows no improvement. The
bands of different nationalities continue
to pursue a campaign of violence, and
the situation gives senous cause for
anxiety. The great powers of Europe
have agreed to present to the Turkish
government a scheme for the improve
ment of the judiciary in that region, and
my government has made further pro
posals to the Sultan and also to the great
powers for dealing effectually with the
principal causes of this disturbance."
Arbitrate Fishing Disputes.
"Negotiations are being conducted
with the Government of the United
States for an agreement to refer to the
