EUROPEAN
DOCTORS
(Continued from pge 1)
toward the conclusion of the case.
Comstock's testimony while new had
been discounted by the1 known facts
of Thaw's appeal to hint to assist in
closing up houses where Stanford
White was alleged to have main
tained elaborately furnished apart
ments and where young girls are said
to have been mistreated. A dozen
letters which Thaw wrote to Corn
stock regarding this matter, giving
a detailed description of the 24th
street house were admitted in evid
ence and read to the jury. Jerome
seemed as pleased as the defense with
the letters and later in the day he
himself read into the record most of
Comstock's replies to, Thaw. Wit
ness indicated in his testimony that
nothing ever came of complaint legal
evidence being lacking.
Mrs. William Thaw was not long
on the stand. She told of Thaw's
early life and of the mental unsound
ness of two of her brothers. She was
nnt cross-examined. Jerome content
ed himself with reading to the judge
an affidavit made by her last year
when she declared there had been no
insanity in Thaw's direct line of de-
unt for four srenerations. As to the
two cases in collateral lines Mrs.
Thaw said these could easily be ac
counted Jor. Examination may con-

Found
steamer Amsterdam, belongng to the
Great Eastern Railway Company, and
the British steamer Axminster, from
New York, December 20, for Rotter
dam, collided last night near Nieuwe
Waterweg. There was no less of life.
The Amsterdam was badly damaged,
and proceeded to Massluts, where she
was beached.
The Amsterdam was commg from
Harwich and had. 56 passengers on
board. A dense fog prevailed, and
the two steamers came together be
fore either had time to sheer off.
The Amsterdam had a great hole
stove in her bow and the water began
coming in so fast that the captain de
cided to lower his boats and transfer
her passengers to the Axminster.
This was done without mishap. The
stem of the Abminster was damaged.
It is learned that in the transfer of
passengers and crew from the Am
sterdam today, - after her collision
with the British steamer Axminster
near Nieuwe Waterweg, one boat,
loaded with passengers to the number
of a dozen or a score, was not pick
ed up and is still missing. There is
great anxiety regarding their safety
although the officials of the steamship
company are confident a passing ves
sel picked up the missing boat. The
fog which was the cause of the col
lision still prevails and renders a
search useless.
