ON WITNESS STAND
Prospects are bright for Company
A, of this city, to receive the highest
marking of any company in the state
in the showing made at theoannual
inspection and muster, Last night
the company had an attendance of
100 per cent, every man responding
when his name was called. Several
of the members came over a hundred
miles for the express purpose of be­
ing present. This is the third suc­
cessive year that this record has been
made by the company, and the mem­
bers are determined to keep it up as
long as they can.
A very large crowd witnessed the
ceremony of inspection and muster
last night. The company was put
through a hard drill in every detail
of the tactics, and the maneuvres
were executed without a single error.
General Jackson was highly pleased
with the showing made, and after
inspection told Captain Hammond
that hlH company did much better
than last year, when it stood well up
among the top notchers in the per
centage marking. Company K, of
Portland, at present holds the high­
est record, but it is hoped by the
members of Company A and their
hundreds of friends that the Port-
land company's colors may be low-
ered this year.
New York, March 6.-—Mrs. Wil­
liam Thaw was the first witness call­
ed after the noon lecess. She stated
that she noticed a change in her son
when he first came to Pittsburg in
1903.
He was absent-minded and
apparently had lost interest in life.
Mrs. Thaw broke down and cried
while narrating the change in her
son following his trip to Europe with
Evelyn in 1901. In explanation of
his changed condition Mrs.Thaw said
I Harry told her “the wicked man in
New York had ruined his life.”
Jllrs. Thaw seemed about to break
down and could not proceed, and Jus­
tice Fitzgerald relieved the situation
Uy ordering her testimony read to the
jury. It was given in a voice too low
for the jury to hear.
Mrs. Thaw said she had laid down
I one condition as to her son’s mar­
riage—that Evelyn’s past life should
be as a closed book, never to be re­
ferred to.
