Fatal Furnace Explosion.
Bingham. Ala., March 20. Fire
negroes and one-white man were
killed by a boiler explosion In an
Iron furnace this morning.
Now York, March 20. Dr. Allen
McLnno Hamilton wns tho first wit
ness called by Delmas In tho Thaw
trial this morning.
Tho Thaw cuso was lato in opoulng
this morning. Tho Judgo wns not ns
punctual as usual. Kvolyn, May Mc-
Konzlo nnd Mrs. Cnlno arrlvod onrly
at tho courthouse. Lator Mrs. Wil
liam Thaw arrived. Dolmus sur
prised nil by withdrawing tho lottor
offered Inst night, nnd called Ham
ilton. Fight Over Hamilton.
Hamilton mndo first examination
of Thaw Juno 27. Dolmns nskod tho
wltnosB to describe tho examination
Jerome wns on his foot with an ob
jection. In tho argument of Delmns
and Jerome thoro was much hitter
talk, each showing considerable fool
ing. It wns frequently stated that
Hamilton wns discharged fronutho
employment of tho dofonso because
ho maintained a belief that Thaw was
still Insane. This morning Joromo
tried to mako Dolmas say that ho
would oxaralho tho witness on all
points on which ho waj prepared to
testify. This would have forced Dol
mas to ask Hamilton what he
thought of Thaw's condition today.
Ho will refuse to bo bound by any
restriction made by tho district at
torney, said Delmas In his smooth
est tone. "No," retorted tho attor
noy for tho defense. He dooi not
want to go completely into this mat
tor. The argument was turned to
tho effort of Jeromo to havo a ruling
that Hamilton tell everything or
nothing.
Jerome interrupted tho trial to
day to requeu that tho- court insti
tute Inquiry Into Thaw's mental con
dition. This Inquiry will bo for tho
court's own guidance Jeromo of
fered Fitzgerald all tho information
he believes likely to help tho trial of
Thaw's sanity. The result will bo a
commission to inquiro into his men
tal status,
Hamilton Mutt Talk.
Tho court sustained Jerome's ob
jection to the limited questions of
Dolmas' attempts to get specific
opinions from Hamilton were met by
Jerome's objections repeatedly. Each
time Delmas succeeded in making
tho court go on record. Ho reserved
exceptions, thus making second basis
for appeal for a new trial. At this
point Delmas asked a recess, to per
mit hlra to confer with the othor at-
torney8 of tho defom-o. Thoy ad
journed to nu nnto-ohnmbor to do
clAo whether to nccopt Jerome's prop
osttlon to allow Hamilton to testify
a to tho opinion ho hold or now
holds ub to tho sanity of Thaw. Af
ter tho conferenco Dolmas agreed to
lot Hamilton tell all ho obsorved
about Thaw, Ho asked him to Btnto
all tho facts ho learned at each vIhII
to Thaw, taking them In tholr order.
