c THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAN, SATUKDAT, JULY 31, 1909. JUDGE POINTS OUT THAW'S WEAKNESS Jerome Fails to Accomplish Much in Long Quizzing of . Slayer of White. GETS MANY SHARP REPLIES Afttr Ending Third Day of Triumph- nt Parrying, Thaw Meets His " Match In Queries ol Justice Mill. (Continued From Flrwt PgO h might still have (or the relator proved to be a Iocs' suing. The District Attorney started his exam ination along the lines that thus far have yielded his aide the best results. He probed Into Thaws own Ideas of his mental condition, and contrasted his answers with those of the 14 alienists who at various times pronounced him in sane. Thaw clung to his oft-repeated phrase that he was not "medically" in sane, although he might have been "le gally" so when he killed White. Jerome was primed with the various opinions of the experts, but Thaw seemed to have them Just as accurately fixed In his mind and once or twice corrected the prosecu tor. He admitted that some of the phy sicians might have been right, others, he said, were "mistaken." One. he declared, wilfully presented a distorted verdict. The courtroom was even warmer than yesterday, and Thaw had worked with his counsel until 10:30 last night exam ining a bundle of Jerome's documentary evidence which he expected to have ex plained today. Nevertheless he pre sented the air of a man whose task is over a calm confidence that showed he was satisfied with his previous showing and assurance that he was a match for the District Attorney. Thaw Criticises Experts. Thaw asked for the reports of sev eral experts and pointed out several alleged inconsistencies in their testi mony. "Well." began Jerome, "here were all these trained specialists who thought you were insane." "Not all of them," interrupted Thaw. "I don't think Dr. Hamilton and Dr. White did." Thaw said the alienists thought he suffered from "defective reason." and Jerome jumped at his chance. "What did they mean by 'defective reason V "I think the term explains itself." "Explain it." insisted Jerome. "What do you think it means?" Thaw looked down and was unable to find words, to frame his reply. He seemed relieved when Jerome branched to the decision of Judge Morschauser, before whom Thaw made his first ef fort for liberty from Matteawan. "Didn't Judge Morschauser declare you were hopelessly insane?" demand ed the cross-examiner. "No." said Thaw. "He held that I had not proved myself sane." Mr. Morschauser asked a word with his client, and Jerome protested. "This kind of thing has- gone on from the first." he said. "This man gets up In the air and his counsel In terrupts to give him a chance to re cover himself. "Whatever Judge Morschauser may have said in his decision." asserted Thaw, "I know that he thinks now I am perfectly sane, for I talked with him two weeks ago and he said so." "Explain what you mean when you say you are legally sane.' " exclaimed Jerome. "X sm of the same opinion as I told the Jury, and as all the medical men who have examined me in the last three years are. and I know Judge Morschauser is that X am now sane and there is no danger of the recur rence of my trouble." "Do you think you were legally in sane when you killed white?" 'That Is my best opinion, but I don't know." "What do you mean by being in sane?" "Defective reason." replied Thaw, and found too late that he had brought the discussion right back to its former troublesome question. What is 'defective reason?-" flashed Jerome. Thaw pondered and finally answered: "Not being responsible for my acts." Speaking of the alienists. Thaw re marked: "You can't blame them for do ing their best to make out a good case for me. They were being well paid for it." The District Attorney suddenly switched to the testimony of Clifford W. Hart rtdee and Susan Merrill. Thaw denied that he had ever rented rooms at the lat ter's houses. "Do you think you were Innocent or guilty when you killed White?" "asked Jerome, nimbly juir.pina back again. Justice Mills put the question this way: "Do you think you are now an inno cent man In the eyes of the law?'" "As the law is laid down for a jury." answered Thaw. "I think I am innocent." "Why?" Thaw murmured something about 'brainstorm." Jerome asked about the story that he onre scalded a girl In a hot bathtub and that he had taken a girl named Ruth Imlwrt automohtling In Taris and brought her back naked with welts from a beating. Calls Charges Lies. "Craiy lies," said Thaw, contemptu ously. Refreshing, his memory from a manu script In his hand, the District Attorney recalled other scandalous stories about the witness that came out during his trials. Thaw's comment was the same: "Lies." The witness was again at his ease. Tales of cruelty In early youth in beat ing a boy and driving a horse to death, the former told the Sanity Commission by a cousin named Lyons, the latter by his brother, Jos;ah Thaw the witness likewise denied. His explanation was that his relatives in their seal to save him on the Insanity plea miht have used or exaggerated "mere rumors." "Wasn't it true that you were known as 'Mad Harry?" ' questioned Jerome. "Yes, I might have been called that; but the same thing may be true of almost anybody. For instance. I've heard you called 'Crazy Jerome." but for that rea son I don't think you are Insane." "Why did you think you and your wife might take Pittsburg by storm and that you might be Senator from Pennsylva nia?" went on Jerome, referring to a let ter in which the witness made this re mark. ""I don't know. We would have settled down comfortably and got alorut. In my case, money would not have been as much of a handicap to a political career as In most cases." "My father." explained Thaw, "made Ms money mainly in railroad building and in starting steamship lines. In other words, he mads ten collars for his coun try for every one for himself, and he gave twice as much to charity as he gave to me and my brothers and sisters." "And did you think." said Jerome, con temptuously, "that a man who couldn't spell and who couldn't use the English language correctly could ever be Senator from Pennsylvania?" The question passed unanswered. Thaw explained his father's discrimi nations against him In his will by the fact that his father was ill when he wrote this codicil and might have been angered by his (Harry's) failure to come and see him. Later Thaw pleaded with Jerome not to push his examinations regarding one of the unfortunate girls mentioned in his own will. '' "I have heard that she is trying to lead a better life." he explained, "and you would pull her down." Jerome dropped this line of interro gation. Then Justice Mills went to the heart of i the case wnn a series ui nuomwu ! "Do you thoroughly believe what you told Dr. Evans as to your Denei renam ing White? Were your beliefs honest?" "Distinctly yes." "You say Evans was given to under stand by outside sources that your be liefs were unfounded, and that mis lea him to report you as Insane? "Yes." "At the present time do you hold the same belief as to White s practices i" "I have found I was mistaken in some things." "But in substance do you believe that White committed these offenses against young girls?" "Yes." "Do you hold that you have ample evi dence? Have you more evidence on that subject than the statements of various women who said they had lost their vir tue?" "Yes, sir: Mr. Comstock." "But Mr. Comstock told you he could not corroborate this and make certain proof?" "No. Mr. Comstock told me he had un mistakable proof, and I thought his judgment better than mine. "Did you consider the statements o, abandoned women to be trustworthy evi dence?" "By no means." "How long before White's death did you have these fixed Ideas as to his acts?" "As early as June, 1903." 'These papers and exhibits ' Indicate that your mental attitude then was that your act In killing White was praiseworthy, to be compared with the act of David in killing Goliath. Did you make this suggestion to Mr. Del mas, .believing that it was right to make such an appeal to the Jury T' Thaw hesitated and began to stammer. "You need not excuse yourself," said the Justice, "for anything you did . in fighting for your life. Under such cir cumstances a man is expected to take every chance." "Now," went on Justice Mills, "they are going to argue to me that all th way through you have exhibited an ex agerated ego.' I have been observing you. You have had the assistance of one of the ablest lawyers In the country. I have observed you' constantly interrupt ing him and making suggestions. You have constantly changed your counsel be fore this. Why don't you trust Mr. Mors chauser?" "I do," said Thaw hastily. "Why didn't you trust your other lawyers, you. a man unlearned in the law. Haven't you felt all the way through that you were better able to conduct this case?" "No sir." answered Thaw, "although I might have in the case of Mr. Hart ridge." Court adjoudned at 4:16 P. M.. until Monday, at 10 A. M. Jerome was read ing old evidence when court adjourned aird he said he had "pages more. THUGS ADMIT GUILT Two Caught in Tacoma Con fess to Four Hold-ups Here. BOTH HAVE SERVED TIME INLAND TOWNS JOIN HANDS Walla Walla Will Assist Spokane in Rate Caae Fight. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. July 30. (Special.) Papers for a suit in interven tion In the Spokane rate case have been drawn up and signed by members of the transportation committee of the local Commercial Club, and It is understood have been forwarded to Washington for filing. Attorney H. M. Stevens, who has been conducting the Spokane case, has charge of the local suit and will bring It before the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Prisoners, While Being Returned to Portland, Account tor All Re cent Highway Robberies Committed Here. Andrew F. Morck and Harry Mitchell, ex-convicts who were arrested In Tacoma a few days ago on suspicion, and who proved to be highwaymen who had com mitted four holdups In Portland, were brought back to this city last night in the custody of Detectives Snow and Day. The Portland detectives will have no trouble In securing a conviction of the two robbers, as Morck confessed to Snow and Mitchell confessed to Day while en route to this city. Morck and Mitchell were locked up In separate cells last night at the City JalL The capture of these men clears up all of the holdups reported recently to the local police. Two of their victims are known to the police, but they admitted two holdups of which the local authori ties have no record. One of their vic tims is C. B. Voos. the steward of the Hotel Richards. Park and Alder streets. They intercepted him on his way home and at the point of a revolver relieved him of ,315. Another victim was . A. Kahn, whom they stopped on East Six teenth street, but from whom they se cured nothing. They also robbed an unknown man on the Llnnton road near the Cliff Inn. He had lust alighted from a car when con fronted by the masked robbers and lost 316. Their fourth victim was robbed on the East Side. They got 311.50 from him. This case was also not reported to the police. The robbers said that this man told them to keep the money, but askea them for the return of a pocket-knife which lu valued on account of its asso ciations. Credit for the capture of the men is due Captain of Detectives Fitzgerald, and City Detectives Milone and Miller of the Tacoma Police Department. ine two detectives first saw Morck on the street and recognized him from his criminal record In Tacoma. They followed him to a lodging-house and reported their sus picions to Captain Fitzgerald. upon learning that Morck had been in the city but a short time they determined to take him into custody. As they were entering the room Mitchell came in and was also placed under arrest. Morck has served three terms In the penitentiary and Mitchell had been in prison once. Under a severe cross-examination K was learned that the men had been in Portland and this information was tele phoned to the Portland detectives. The suspects made admissions which after wards led to their complete confessions. Besides the holdups Morck Is accused of burglarizing the Gilwan Hotel. He was wearing a . suit of clothes stolen irom a room there when arrested. Morck was released from Walla Walla only two months ago after serving a sentence for holding up F. H. Marvin, a Tacoma steamship man some years ago. Morck Is 28 years old and has Dome a naa repu tation, on the Pacific Coast for years. He has two brothers who were both sent to the penitentiary from Tacoma. Mitchell Is but a lad of 18. He served an indeterminate term of from 1 to 14 years for a burglary committed In Chehalls two years ago and was recently given his liberty. His parents are said to reside In British Columbia and he also has an uncle, a traveling salesman. In Portland.

IT may afford those elephants, tigers, lions, rhlnoceri. hippopotami, chee tahs, gnus, hartebeestes. giraffes, gazelles, lmpalks. buffaloes and the rest of the African Jungle beasts ex Presldent Koosevelt Is mowing down at present some bit of consolation and it will certainly be news to a great many people that the rifle with which the former President Is shooting big game Is the only gun equipped with pink sights In the world. It Is one of nine other models taken by Roosevelt, exact replicas of which Portlanders who are Interested In the subject may see today at the Portland Hotel. The exhibit is one sent out by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, and Is In charge of Captain A. F. Lau densack. who. besides designing the ex President's arms especially for heavy use In the Jungle, is the champion rapid-fire shooter of the world. Cap tain Laudensack, who holds a commis sion in the Connecticut National Guard, won his records at Camp Perry and Sea girt last year. The bead on the front sight of the "pink-sighted" rifle, which is of .405 caliber, is of pink enamel. It was made In this way because Roosevelt is a bit short-sighted, and wanted a gun he could depend upon absolutely at all times in the dim light often encoun tered In the Jungle. Three of his ten guns are of the .405 caliber, three are .30 rimless, two are .32 automatics, and two are 12-gauge pump shotguns. After selecting, sighting and designing these guns, captain Laudensack was complimented by the ex-President, who gave him an autographed card. Another peculiarity of the Roosevelt guns is the fact that their rear sights are made U-shaped Instead of V-shaped, as in the ordinary gun. The stocks of these rifles are handsomely carved and have a bulge on the rlghthand side 1f rest Jn the hollow of1- the cheek, thus giving quicker and surer aim and eliminating the disagreeable "kick" when firing. It Is also Interesting to note that Roosevelt is the first African hunter who has ever gone into the Jungles with American rifles, the common belief having been that only English guns were heavy enough to Insure deadly accuracy against big Fame. The strenuous ex-President de clared that he would show the world that ..MM-.. . I 'J( I i i v. V K 1 j r c viz - i ff Declares Mrs. John Reimers Failed to Secure Divorce Before Her Latest Wedding. Alleging that he was deceived into marrying Laura Reimers by the belief that she had secured a divorce from John Reimers, Frank Ervin has brought divorce suit In the Circuit Court. The woman told him, he says, that she had secured a divorce from Reimers more than six months before, so Ervin married her at San Mateo, Cal.. November 6, 1907. The Reimers wedding had taken place in October. 1899. Ervin has found that Mrs. Reimers brought suit against her former husband, but that it was dis missed on motion of her attorney. John F.

The suffrage doctrine was ex pounded with a vim at Corbln Park at an open-air meeting of the Spokane suffragists. Mrs. Z. W. Comerford and Mrs. Lariene Baker were speakers. "Equality" was the subject of Mrs. Ba ker's discourse. "True men cannot endure women who pretend to superiority," said Mrs. Ba ker. The true woman looks with scorn upon the effeminate man. If we could all be honest and sincere, there might be universal happiness, but women as well as men seem compelled to be hypocrites. "When a young woman Is longing for loving glance from her sweetheart and the slight pressure of his hand sends a thrill of emotion through her whole body, she is taught to speak with great calmness which is meant to seem to him the expression of cold In difference. "Let us go back a few years. This same wee girlie now grown to woman hood was told stories by her mother of Jack the Giant-Klller. Cinderella's fairy glass slipper, and the wonderful bean stalk: she went to school and learned about frogs and fishes; about pigs and potatoes, but her education was sadly neglected in regard to tne great im portance of the human being. 'I hold that the greatest curse now afflicting this world Is that our person ality is crammed down our throats un der captious pretexts of moral and so cial necessity. 'I see no reason why the political franchise has proved a broken reed. Men are only a small part of the world. The woman's business, the woman's work, has simply been neglected, be cause the women have not been here to do it." MUSIC IN HOLLADAY PARK Rosebrook and His Band Give Good Programme in Irvington. Rosebrook and his band had a good audience at Holladay Park last night for the regular concert there. The pro gramme, with the exception of the last two numbers, was made up of the better class of music. Two of the best num bers were from Wagner, the overture to "Rlenzl" and selections from "Lohen grin." Rosebrook had a chance to show his ability as a conductor in these. Driscoll, the solo cornettist, was warmly applauded after his solo, which consisted of airs from various of Verdi's operas.
