THAW CASE WITH
JURORS
THURSDAY
Little Further Delay Is Expect
ed in Famous Murder
Case.
ALIENIST AGAIN IN THE BOX
Jerome's Hands Tied by Decision of
Lunacy Commission, While De
fense. W1H Einisli Sur
rebuttal Speedily.
NEW YORK. April . That the long-Drawn-out
Thaw trial, now In its twelfth
week, will be finished this coming week
now seems almost certain. There Is no
sign of any more delays.
tr. Allen MeLane Hamilton, the alien
ist who was on the stand when the case
was suddenly interrupted by the District
Attorney's suggestions for the appoint
ment of a commission in lunacy, will
probably be recalled Monday. The lunacy
rommission having decided that Thaw
Is now sane, Mr. Jerome probably will
be prevented from asking Dr. Hamilton
regarding his opinion as to Thaw's pres
ent sanity. Therefore there is little that
he can cross-examine the alienist on.
Whether the defense will call more
witnesses Is problematical. It is stated
that Thaw's attorneys expect to require
no more than one hour to complete their
case. If this is true there Is no reason
why the case should not go to the Jury
Thursday.
District Attorney Jerome said tonight
that he had no, more witnesses. Under
legal procedure in New York the stir
rebuttal of the defense ends the case.
The only way in which the prosecution
cad get evidence before the Jury afte
the defense closes its sur-rebuttal is by
special permission of the court on the
ground that evidence Is newly discovered
or the witnesses were not within the
jurisdiction of the court when the prose
cution was putting in its direct case.
Day Each to Argue.
Some weeks ago, at one of the many
times when the case seemed nearing its
close. It was agreed between the attor
neys that each should have a full day
for summing up: in other words, that
neither should be forced to break his
address In the middle. Mr. Delmas stated
at that time that he would not require
more than one day for his argument.
It is said now, however, that he may
require two days. If this Is the case
he will probably begin Monday. He
should finish Tuesday.
Mr. Jerome says that he will not re
quire more than one day, and therefore
at the latest he should complete his ar
gument Wednesday.
Justice Fitzgerald's charge to the Jury
should not require more than three or
four hours, and It Is therefore very
possible that the case will be in the
Jury's hands Thursday.
Mr. Delmas will plead for absolute ac
quittal on the ground that Thaw's mind
was unhalanced at the time be com
mitted the crime, and that in view of
the fact that ho has since recovered his
mental balance he should be allowed to
go free. Mr. Jerome, on the other hand,
will argue that Thaw was sane within
the meaning of the law when he killed
Stanford White: that the crime was
planned and premeditated, and that he
should suffer the extreme penalty of the
law.
I do not expect that it will take us
more than an hour to close our case,"
said Clifford W. Hartridge. Thaw's at
torney of record. "Our evidence is all
In save for a few matters, purely formal,
and nothing remains but the summing
up. I am not sure whether Mr. Delmas
will be able to finish his address in one
day, but he may begin Monday."
In speaking of the action of the lunacy
commission and of the mental and physi
cal examination of Thaw, Mr. Hartridge
said:
Thaw Answers Everything.
"I want to give the inside history of
my appearing before the lunacy commis
sion. I waived all constitutional rights
and told the commission to ask any ques
tion It saw fit, except that I told him
not to answer any questions about the
trial and the ease.
"One member of the commission did
ask Thaw a question about the case,
and on my advice he declined to an
swer it.
"Then the commissioners sent for me
and asked me if I would not withdraw
my advice so as to allow Thaw to an
swer the question. I then told Thaw to
answer any question that the members
of the commission might ask. and I sup
posed that he did so. But I do not know
what he did, for I left the room and
was not present at the examination any
more than Mr. Jerome was. My attitude
in turning Thaw loose upon the com
mission showed my confidence in his
ability to meet all tests.
Believe Him Sane.
"Down deep in my heart I believe that
Thaw was insane when he did the shoot
ing. But I have always contended that
he ought to have a trial. When the
effort was made to have him railroaded
to Mntteawan he protested that he want
ed to be tried, and I upheld him in It.
I have known Thaw for a long time,
and I have the advantage of people who
have only come In contact with him
lately. In the Tombs he got back his
mental balance and his physical healfli."
JAPANESE MUST STAY OUT
Elrst Cases I'nder New Agreement
I'pht'ld by Straus.
WASHINGTON, April . Secretary
Htraus, of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, today denied admission to
this country to five Japanese immi
grants. These are the first Japanese
exclusion cases which have reached
the Secretary since the promulgation
of the executive order carrying into ef
fect the new immigration law.
Secretary Straus' action was based
upon an appeal taken by the Japanese
from a decision of the Inspector at
HI Paso, Tex., denying them the right
to enter on passports from Mexico. The
appeals first readied Commissioner of
Immigration Sargent. They were re
ferred by him to the Secretary, with
tho recommendation that they be dis
missed on the ground that no other
course was permissible under the
lresident's order carrying Into effect
the agreement of last Winter relative
to the exclusion of Japanese laborers.
The matter was presented op behalf
of the wou1d-be Immigrants, to the
.Tapaiiesn Minister, and lie advised them
that the course of the United Stales
authorities was in accord with the
agreement between the two countries,
and hence satisfactory to his govern
ment. When tneor ropreseutcd that
they had been compelled to come to
aha United States in search of food.
he advised them to apply to the Jap
anese Minister to Mexico for relief
Commissioner Sargent has been ad
vised that about 600 Japanese laborers
have recently left El Paso, Mex., go
ing both east and west, and it is ex
pected they will try to find admission
into the United States at unguarded
points along the international line.

ing Star Grange, on Section
Line Road.

Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, yester
day, it was decided to hold a general
agricultural fair the coming Fall in
the Grange Hall on the Section Line
road. Committees will be appointed at
the next meeting to begin the arrange
ments. J. J. Johnson, master, suggest
ed that all members of Granges anil
farmers who are not members begin at
once to prepare for the display and
take it Unto consideration when they
are planting their crops for the coming
season, so that a creditable display
should be made. Also tentative meas
ures were taken to enlarge the hall by
extending the south end to the line of
the lot, it being considered that more
room will bo required.
Announcement was made that State
Master Buxton had invited Evening
Star Grange to prepare a drill team for
competitive degree work at the session
of the State Grange at Hood River. F.
M. Gill, deputy state master, who was
present, said that this high honor had
been conferred on F,vening Star be
cause It was considered one of the
foremost Granges In the state. There
will also be a team from another
county.
It was announced that a meeting will
be held this afternoon in the Grange
Hall of all who will take part. Two

at Forest Grove.
During the lecturer's hour in the
afternoon. In charge of J. B. H. Gehr,
"Bret Harte" was considered. George
H. Himes gave recollections. Rev. H.
V. Vrooman spoke on "The Referen
dum, Its Object and Its Results."
Mrs. H. L. Vail spoke on "Men Who
Make the Best Husbands." She said
that men who kiss their wives when
ever they leave thom In the morning
and when they come home in the even
ing are not likely to stray or to seek
a divorce.
The referendum started by the Coun
cil of Linn County Granges invoked
against the State University appropria
tion, was discussed, but not generally
approved. Petitions were received for
circulation, but no one win undertake
the work. It is apparent that this
referendum will not be approved by
the Granges of Multnomah County.
