DEFENDANT GAINS POINT IN THAW CASE New York, July 17.—The defense in the Thaw-White tragedy placed the prosecution on the defensive in the supreme court this morning when upon the application of lbaw’a attor neys the court granted a writ of pro hibition, reetraining Di trlct Attor ney Jerome and the July grand jury from taking any evidence as to the killing of White or the responsibility of Thaw for his death. The writ of prohibition is regarded as a forerun- ner of a motion for a change of venue to another county. Ths- ’a wife visited the prisoner to day, and for the first time since the tragedy Evelyn appealed at the Tombs in a different costume. There are some very pretty numbers left in this department, and to close out the line we are making most liberal reductions and will work them over to fit anv form without extra charge. $10.00 Skirts reduced to $ 8.50 Skirts reduced to Kentucky Jury Declares Murderers or Prominent Attorney Not Guilty —Celebrated Feud Prosecution Ends in Discharge of Defend- PRICE Bov's’ heavy ribbed extra values at 15c Big Reduction on Ladies* White Lianen Skirts LEWIS MAY DEFEND.

That if the defendant, Mar tin G. Hoge, who alleges illness at Medford, is not present, his *4000 bail bond l>e declared forfeited. Dr. E. B. Pickell, of Medford, who was ordered to make an examination of Hoge by the United States district cour , finds that the latter, while ill, is uot dangerously so and has no iufiammation of the kidneys. The diagnosis of Dr. Pickell is couflrmed by au examination performed by Dr W. S. Jones, just completed, who says that Hoge can be taken to Port land without endangering bis life. Yesterday afternoon the case against Thaddeus S. Potter, indictmeut No. 2988, was dismissed, so far as he was personally concerned, it appearing that the same issues were involved in the one where be was couvieted, hence bis p ea of former jeopardy was allowed.

Mays was called, under indictment No. 2887, Judge W. D. Fenton filed a plea in abatement in the case, similar in many respects to that submitted before Judge Belliuger in the Mitch ell case, except that it does not at tack the legality of the appointment of Francis J.
