Attorneys for Defense
.'Force Case Along Insanity
Plea.
JT.0 USE EXPERT WITNESSES
Purpose of Accepting an Insane
Asylum In Preference to Prison
Is Plainly Kvident.
(By Associated xJress.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 8. The defense
in the case of Harry Thaw sprung
their first surprise in the second
trial today by announcing that they
had issued subpoenas for several of
the expert witnesses who testified for
the prosecution in the first trial a
year ago when District Attorney
Jerome applied for a lunacy commis
sion and who made affidavit at that
time that their opinion Thaw at tho
time of the inauiry was suffering
from an incurable form of insanity..
These samo doctors, however, had
prev ous.y tesunea on u. witness
B-Bim in r"Pponseio Jerome Biaimiua
hypothetical question, that they bo-
lieVed Thaw knew wuat he was about
when he killed White. This move Is
intended by the defense as a block to
tho prosecution putting these samo
doctors on the stand, and is taken by
some as showing a determination
that Thaw Bhall not be convicted even
when the danger of a stay in the
asylum for the criminal insane at
Mawettan as tho alternative. If suc
cessful in this defense it would force
the trial case strictly on Thaws ment
al condition in the summer of 190G,
and this would force Jerome to ap -
ply tor a lunacy commission anu
TMinw'a lnuvora nvn nnnflrlAnt of Its

aunity to maice goou ins ciaim oi
present sanity before such a board.
Only two tentative jurors were se

THE LIGHT THAT FAILS
IS ON CANAL STREET
Editor Bennett Joins In the Protest
Against Present Electric Light
ing Service.
While the light holds out to burn,
the vilest sinner may return home
at night, with less danger of slipping
and falling into a mud hole. But
that blooming light at the head of
Canal street Is not built that way.
On the darkest and stormiest. nights
it generally refuses to perform the
duty demanded of it, and for which
duty it is paid In the coin of the
realm, collected from the tax pay
ers of the municipality of Marshfleld.
We are informed that other lights
ini different parts of town are more or
less In the same fix. Some day the
people will wake up to the fact that
they are paying for what they don't
get in light and telephone service,
and then there will bo something
doing. Marshfleld News.
