M ust Testify Ir. Sills Says
Thaw Still Gives Her CKer
$5 00 a Month.
WHITE PLAINS. N. V.. July 14. (Spe
cial.) Mrs. EJvelyn Thaw will take the
witness stand tomorrow and will be per
mitted to testify as to a threat to kill
her made. It Is alleged, hy her husband
during one of her earliest visits to him In
Matteawan Asylum.
She stated today to acquaintances and
to officials who are seeking to keep her
husband in restraint that, though she
may he called to the stand and directed
by the court to testify, she will not utter
one word about her husband until he has
been searched for weapons in her pres
ence. She said she had long been con
vinced that It is Harry Thaw's intention
to take her life if he ever regains his
liberty.
rcputy Attorney -General Clarke, who is
conducting the state's case in the pro
ceedings brought by Thaw against Dr.
Amos T. Baker, superintendent of Mat
teawan Hospital and" Thaw's custodian
there, was sufficiently impressed with
Mrs. Thaw's representations to cause one
of his representatives at the close of to
day's session to make sure, unknown to
Thaw, that the latter had no weapon con
cealed, about him.
LIPS SEALED FXTIL, TODAY
Conrt Will Thn Teell Evelyn Thaw
to Repeat Thaw's Threat.
WHITE PLAINS. N. Y.. July 14. Eve
lyn Thaw'a lips were still closed by legal
technicalities today and she did not re
sume the stand, as expected, to testify
for the state In opposing Harry K.
Thaw's attempt to prove himself sane.
The state's attorney announced at ad
journment yesterday that they would
show today that the much disputed con
versation between Thaw and his wife at
the asylum, in which Thaw Is supposed
to have threatened to kill her when he
got out, was not privileged, and therefore
Evelyn Thaw would be recalled and her
testimony ' on this point would be ad
mitted. This was not done, however.
Again tomorrow the state will attempt
to show that this conversation should be
admitted. At adjournment tonight Jus
tice Mills intimated to Thaw's counsel
that he was inclined to admit It.
Evelyn's Attitude Pnzzle.
A great crowd packed the courtroom to
day. The testimony was enlivened at
times by bits of humor and Thaw often
laughed heartily at some remark at his
expense. Attendants at Matteawan testl
fied that he always appeared rational in
speech and action, and several physicians
testified along the same line
Evelyn Thaw's attitude toward her hus
band Is puzzling.' ' It is not generally
Known whether she would rather see hi
Tree or confined as a lunatic While1 she
has often been quoted as repeating In
effect her famous declaration, "I'll stand
by you, Harry," it is reported that. In the
event that heftesUmony ultimately goes
against Thaw, his attorney will call
witnesses to show that she remarked that
she was glad to see him in Matteawan.
The former chorus girl has not Joined the
Thaw family during the hearing. When
she left White Plains today she traveled
to New York alone.
Thaw Still Supports He.
During her testimony yesterday Mrs.
Thaw said that her husband was not
supporting her properly, but it was
brought out on the stand today that
he is paying her $500 a month.
Dr. Valdimir Sillo, a New York prac
titioner, testified that he had seen Thaw
about 25 times In all. and that Thaw
always appeared rational. Dr. Sillo
related a conversation with Thaw at
Matteawan. In which Thaw referred to
an Incident at the Hotel Knickerbocker
in New York, in which Evelyn Thaw
figured. I
" 'I regret very much she persists in
keeping herself so much in the public
eye." Thaw said, 'but what can I do? I
have done everything I can for her.' "
said the witness.
Dr. Sillo testified that for the last
three months Harry Thaw had been
sending him $70 a week and $200 at
the end of each month and that he had
been turning the money over to Thaw's
' wife, as he had been Instructed to do.
Miss Anna G. W. Payley. a lawyer, of
Poughkeepsie, testified today that she
had attended to some small legal mat
ters for Thaw when he was in the
Poughkeepsie Jail and had frequently
seen and talked with him during that
time. He always impressed her as ra
tional, she said.
Miss Mary Murane, matron of the
Poughkeepsie Jail, testified that "Thaw
always appeared rational."'

R. F. Brackett Says He
Was Thugs' Victim.
HIS STORY DOUBTED BY POLICE
Well-Dressed Men Seen Run
ning from Scene of Crime.
MAY BE WOMAN IN CASE
Many Facts Conflict with Story of
Member of Engineering Firm,
Whose Wound May Be
Fatal, Say Doctors.
Under clrcumrtances which are to a
large degree surrounded by mystery, R.
F. Brackett. 39 years old, member of the
firm of Brackett & Myers, electrical con
tractors and engineers, at 27 Second
street, was shot and perhaps fatally
wounded on the sidewalk a few minutes
after midnight this morning on Yamhill
street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth.
He Is now in the Good Samaritan Hospl
tal with a pistol wound in the left abdom
inal region, which he may not survive.
Surgeons operated on him, and several
hours later they were uncertain as to his
ultimate recovery.
There were not witnesses to the shoot
lng. but three people saw incidents . im
mediately after the pistol shot which
tend to show that the shooting was the
result of some private affair of Brack
ett s, and not an attempt to hold him
up. as he stated to the police and others
immediately afterwards. His assailants
were two well-dressed men, according to
all witnesses, but their identity Is not
known. A woman who might also have
some relation to the case is also un
known. The witnesses to the affair are
Mrs. Ward, of 175 Fourteenth street; "R.
E. Dent, an employe of the O. JR. C. sta
bles. Fourteenth and Yamhill streets, and
S. Twarowskl, a mailcarrler, who has a
bam on Fifteenth street.' between Yam
hill and Taylor streets.
Significant. Remark Heard.
Mrs. Ward heard a pistol shot a few
minutes after 13 o'clock. She rushed out
her back door and saw two men running
south on Fifteenth . street. Just before
that she had heard some one say; "Well,
I guess you've got me this time." This
remark came fiom the same direction
from where a. few seconds later the pistol
shot sounded. Mr. Twarowskl was un-
nucning nis r.orse wn-en the shot was
fired. He looked out in time to see the
same two men running south on Fif
teenth street. Later Mrs. Ward saw the
two men standing in. the shadow of
tree when the police patrol wagon drove
up, and then heard one of them say:
"This is no place for us now. We had
better get away." This was the last seen
of them. They headed west on Fifteenth
street.
After Brackett was shot he staggered to
the O. R. C. stables and asked Dent to
g?t him assistance. "Two men stepped
out from behind a tree on Yamhill, be
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth," sa!d
Brackett, "and they held me up with a
gun. One of them said, 'Throw up your
hands,' and the other one said 'Shoot."

9:41 P. M., His Elapsed Time
Being 105 Days, 5:41
SAN FRANCISCO, July 14. Vigorous as
a man of half 70 years and stridine out
like a soldier on parade despite the 40
miles he tramped during the day, Edward
Payson Weston set foot in San Francisco
at 10:40 tonight with his 4000-mile Journey
from New York completed.
The actual distance covered by the
white-haired athlete was 3925 miles by
mile-posts, but figuring the thousands of
times he has swung from side to side of
the way. he has tramped nearly 4200
miles. The time consumed on the Jour
ney was 105 days 5 hours and 41 minutes.
He has maintained a gait of nearly 40
miles a day all the way across the con
tinent.
Weston's long road actually ended at
Oakland Mole, where he arrived at 9:41
o'clock tonight, attended by a crowd of
admirers who had waited hours for his
arrival. To offset the ferry trip the pe
destrian doubled on his trail before reach
ing Oakland, covering six additional
miles. With this accomplished the iour-
ney ended when he walked into the dis
patcher's office on the Mole.

been laid by Mr. Weston, but it is stated
that he is contemplating a tramp to
Seattle during the Alaska-Yukon-PaciHc

CONVENTION RATES OPEN
All Westerners May Travel at Fare
and Half to East.
CHICAGO, July 14. (Special.) Re
duced passenger fares to Chicago, St.
Louis, Kansas City. Omaha and St. Jo
seph will be available this Summer from
ail states west of the Missouri River, as
a result of a decision Just announced by
a number of leading Western railroads,
which competitive conditions will make
applicable .to all roads.
It has been decided to open to the gen
eral public rates of a fare and a half for
the rounds trip from points west of the
river which were granted on account of
Fall and Summer merchants' meetings at
these cities, provided there is a minimum
attendance at each meeting of 100 or more
persons holding certificates from organi
zations under whose auspices excursions
are held.
The reasoa for .iiioning these rates to
the public generally is ascribed to an
opinion rendered by the legal department
of one of the roads that to confine re
duced fares to a specified class of persons
constituted discrimination against the
general public In violation of rulings of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
