that no member of his family was
I present when ho entered. Delmas ac
companied Evelyn to court and left
her In tho clerk's office. Sho greeted
her husband when brought In. J. D.
Lyons, president of tho Union Na
tional Bank, of Pittsburg, was tho
first witness called by tho defenso to
Identify Thaw's will. Joromo ob
jected to Lyons as n witness, and
raised a contention that tho will bo
temporarily bnrred, becauso no evl
donco was Introduced to lay a foun
dation of proof of Thaw's insanity.
Jerome Insisted on further proof of
mental weakness. This brought from
Dclmaa tho first word upholding Dr.
Wiley. DolmnB declared it as his
intention In tho defenso to show
Thaw's eccentricities, and then
clinch tho caso by introduction of
export testimony, of which ho de
clared ho has plonty.

as much as possible was made be
tween Joromo nnd tho attorneys for
tho defenso beforo trial, to admit as
littlo of n character of blackening
testimony and inuendocs as possible.
It now scorns thnt the agreement
must bo brokon, that Jorome, too off
sot Evelyn's testimony, will bring In
to tho spotlight reputations of many
Now York millionaires. Evelyn will
attack tho Thaws who advertised
that ho lived only for his wife. This
introduces testimony that after tho
mnrrlago Bho frequently responded
to tho call of tho groat whlto way.
They will almost seek to show that
Thaw's crusndo against vlco, In
which ho enlisted the support of An
thony Comstock was carried on for
selfish motives, nnd that the crusado
was undor a soiled bnnner. Such
tactics will result in only ono thing
Tho dofenso will resort to tho Bamo
method, and tho trial will becomo a
delving into tho muck, holding up to
vlow of tho virtuous In tho darkest
orglos of tho half-world.
Toddy Takes Hand.
Washington, Feb. 11. Tho Pres
ident has askod tho postmaster-general
to tako stops to bar from the
malls nowspnpers printing Bnllclous
details of tho Thaw trial, If ho enn
do so undor tho law. Tho following
ofllcinl announcement was mado this
morning at tho Whlto House:
Thu President has communicated
with Postmastcr-fSeiicral Cortolyou
to learn If ho Is favorable to plan to
bar from tho malls paivers Riving
full and disgusting particulars of the
Thaw case. Ho does not know wheth
er It Is feasible, but if It is he wishes
it done."
Dohnas Wins Point.
After a long wrangle Lyons was
allowed to tostlfy that ho had received
prior to April 1005 from defendant
the will over which controversy wns
mado. Lyons declared tho onvolopo
containing the will was unbrokeu from
tho tlmo ho received it until he Bourron
dered It, tho lnttcr part of November
1900. Attorney Qlcnson then took the
stand nnd testified onvclopo enmo into
his possession with seal unbroken No
vember 11. 1000.
Evelyn Resumes Stand.
At this point Dolmns again offered
the will In ovidonco, but Jerome's ob
jeetton, on ground of passing of will
from Lyons to Qleason without .being
opened, was sustained, nnd tho will
wbb temporarily laid 'aside. Evelyn
was then recalled and instantly tho
court room aroused from drowsy dlsln
terestness to excitement. Thaw's wlfo
was clad in tho simplo costume 4hat
has characterized her throughout the
trial. As sho entered the shuffling f
feet ceased, and necks were cranod
and nil eyes followed her down tho
nislo to tbfl stand.
The Famous Kate Read.
Delmas asked Jeromo to prodaco the
noto Evelyn wrote to her husband nt
't tho Cafe Martin on tho night of the
tragedy. Several minutes elapsed be.
. fore it was produced. In the interim the
' eyes of all in tho court room were cast
upon witness soarcbingly. She was
composed and smiled several times at
her husband. Tho girl identified tho
. note and said she wrote it. Delmas
read the note to the court. It read:
! "Tho b. was here a moment ogo,
nut went out again."
Jerease Oalss a Point.
"To whom did B refer!" asked Del
mas. "To Standford White."
"Now, I'll ask you," said Delmas
fyery gently, "If you ever heard Thaw
speak of sny threat being mado
against his life by .Whiter
Jerome objected and court sustained
him. The question was reinstated but
Jerome again objected on ground that
question didn't bear on insanity of
defendant but had to do with a plea
ot BeiMierea, which bad not yet been
established by Thaw's 'attorneys.
Insanity Bxyerta te Cte Oa.
Thaw's attorneys went Jnto confer
ence, press stably concerning the new
line of testimony, and "change of pro
gram xoreeu upoa taera by ruling one
of much of tkeir testimony this more
tng oa technical objection by prosecu
tion. It is said. DelMM will put Insan
ity experts on this afternoon.
Jerome's objection, was sustained
The court also sustained his objec
tion to the question, about malefac
tors Thaw is alleged to have said
White set ne his trail. Evelyn said
she knew Thaw carried a pistol at
one tlsse la IMS, In New York, bat
bollpveJ ho nover cnrrled n weapon
when not In New York.
"Did you ovor Bay anything to
your hiiBbnnd about tho visit you
mado to May McKlnzlo nt tho hospi
tal when sho was HI, at which moot
ing Whlto wns present?' 'asked Dol
mnB. "Yes," answered tho witness.
Jeromo nnd Dolmns again hnd a
spirited contest as to tho nmlssnblll
ty of tho evidence along solf-defense
lines. Tho nnswor was ruled out.
Tho question' ns to tho effect of Boo
ing White, upon her husband wna
nlso ruled out. Questions ns to
tho statement Thaw mndo to
hor rognrdlng relations of Whlto
with other girls regarding asking n
repotltton of her husband's prepoBnl
was ruled out. Court adjourned up
on rcquost of Dolmns, so thoy might
hnvo time to prepnro tho export tes
timony, for lack of which moBt of
his questions wore ruled out.

For many years past tho South

FIGHT ON
RAILROAD
COMMISSION
Speaker Davey Defends Him
self Against Accusations
Thoro will bo nil kinds of fireworks.
In the houso thlH afternoon when.
ChHpIn's , railroad cnmmlmlon bill is
reported buck, by botji a majority of
tho joint committee and the majority
of tho houso committee, for. cpHstder
ntloti. Thu majority of tho joint (join
nilttuo still insists thht tho commission
shall ho appointed by the govornor,,
one to hold ofllco until 11)08, when tho
nlllco becomes electivu nnd tho othor
two to hold until 1010, while tho ma
jority of tho house committee, headed
by Jones of Polk, and Lincoln, demand
that tho commission be appointed by
tho stuto board nnd they claim thnt;
thoro is enough Itepubllcan votes in
thu house to miHtuln thorn in their con
tcntlon.
There is plenty of ovMenco that tho
hand of tho uhlof executive is taking n
prominent part in tho gamo- of politics
involved, either directly or Indirectly,
but tho Jones, Holt, King opposition
to his making tho appointment think
they will win out and then pass it up
to the governor and lot him veto tho
(blll if ha sees fit. Tho joint com
mittee held a conference at 1 o clock
this afternoon and tho matter will
conio up at tho appointed hour, 3
o'rlock, on special order for final de
cision, Thoro was a rumor ufloat this
morning thnt It had been agreed to lot
tho Chapin hill puss over today nnd
await tho action of tho sonata upon
tho IHnghum bill, which Is a copy of
tho riinpln hill, tomorrow morning.
This report, however, Is denied by
Chairman Coffey of tho houso commit
tee, who says tho Clinpln bill will bo
given full and duo consideration today.
When tho house resolves itself into
a committee of tho whole Sneaker
Dnvcy will take tho floor and will
stand out for his contention that tho
commission should bo created by Ite
publlcan votes und brains, but that,
if ho Is defeated in his contentions,
ho will bow gracefully to the will of
tho majority and stand by tho bill In
whatever form it is agreed upon. Jones
of Polk and Lincoln also takes thht
stand and Buys ho will stand for tho
bill even if bo Is heatttn. The three
bolting members of the house com
mittee were indirectly accused of be
ing in leaguo with the Jfairlwan sys
tem in one of tho commltteo meet
ings, or words to that effect, when ono
of tho members of tho committee re
marked that "we aro up against the
Ilnrriman system," but tho remark was
explained nway afterwards. The bot
tle on tho floor this afternoon, if mat
ters do not tako nn entirely different
form than whut Is now presented,
Cromlscs to be a royal one and will
e fought out bitterly,
Thoro Was a meeting of tho Joint
railroads committees this afUrnoou,
all being present except Jones, King
and holt, and It was agreed to report
tho railroad commission bill, giv
ing tho governor power to appoint,
naming ono member for two years
and two for four years. The moot
Jug was harinoiftotifl, and, so far n
thoso present are concerned, all were
unanimous for tho roport.
