Now York, Jan. 10. All hopo on
tho part of tho defonso In the Thaw
ense, if any such hope Is ontertninod,
of having tho proceedings Interrupt
ed by tho appointment of a commis
sion to inquiro into tho defendant'
mental condition hai vanished.
District Attorney Joromo an
nounced today that it is tho intention
of tho prosecution to lgMho caso go
to tho Jury. Ho declared that tho
defonso must show a closer connec
tion botween Harry Thaw and rela
tives who havo been inmates of asy
lums beforo it can bo taken advan
tage of by any constitutional privi
lege Involving tho plea of insanity.
It Is evident that Evelyn Thaw has
bocom'o a sourco of nnnoyanco to At
torney Martin L.tleton, chief counsel
for Thaw. Sho continues to insist
that sho shall bo called ahead of
other witnesses, so that sho can re
main in tho court room, but Little
ton is determined, It is said, to put
hor on tho stand as tho last lay wit
less. Augnist Weber, who was at one
tlmo Thaw's butlor, resumed tho
stand at 10 o'clock this morning ami
continued hi testimony, tondlng to
show that ho was impressed by
Thaw's irrationality. Weber was
cross-cxamlnod by Jeromo.
Belle Moorohouso .Lawrence, who.
as a governoBs omployod in tho Thaw
family, kept a "diary on Thaw's pe
culiar acts, will arrive from Califor
nia today, and will bo at once called
to tho stand by Littleton. Professor
Bock, of Pittsburg, who also hod
Thaw as a patient, will give evidence
along tho same lines. Justice Ver
non Davis, who presided in tho Nan
Patterson murdor trial, occupied a
seat bosldo Judgo Dowllng when the
hearing was resumed.
Raymond A. Browne, a music pub.
Usher, who wag in the roof gardon at ,
the time of tho shooting, said his
attention was callod to Thaw that
night because, In spite of tho fact
that the woathdr wai hot, ho woro an
ovorcoat with the collar turned up.
Browne said the defendant's face was
pale and his oyos had a wild appear
ance. Offering himiolf as a substituto to
meot any fate which the Judgo may
docldo upon, whether it b the oloo-
trio chair or Imprisonment in Matt
wan asylum, an Ohio man has writ
ten to Evelyn Thaw, agreeing to take
Harry Thaw's placo for a considera
tion of $3,000,000. The New York
Globe prints this story today. The
name of the man is being withhold.
Accompying tho letter Is a series
of photographs of himself, showing
that ho strongly resembles the de
fendant, so that ho could be easily
passed for Thaw.
There will be no afternoon bos
sion of the trial today, a reces suntll
tomorrow morning having been or
dered to allow important witnesses
tlmo to reach the city.

Tho ;tawB, when it roached Carson,
created consldornblo discussion, and
started a second nttempt on tho pnrt
of Sparks' friends to unsont Skaggs,
but without auccess. Skaggs brands
tho story as false. In n signed stato

The intorlor lumbormen, at a con

firmly stated their position to the
delogatos from tho coast, and in or
der to further impress it as muoh aa
possible on tho coast milltnen, they
will attend In force a convention to
hold In Vancouver on January 23.
Should tho coast mills make any cut
at present or during the coming sum
mer tho mountain mills will suffer a
heavy loss. Tho latter, therefore,
are bringing every influence to bear
to prevent any reduction In tho price
of lumber, and at prosent they have
tho support of every rnillman on the
