Thaw May Not Be Tried.
Prvol ol tntanily of Stafford While's Slayer
Expected to Keep Hit Caie From the Jury.
It would not be surprising If
Harry KenJall Thaw will never be
calk ti I upon to face a jury for the
murder of Stanford White in New
York, last 'uminer. Based upon
the belief that the only defence
that wilt be urged iu Thaw's be
half is insanity, the District Attor
ney's oSlce has been and is now
waking preparation to meet this is
ue squarely.
Drs. Allen McLane Hamilton
nnd Charles Dana, He alienists
who examined Thaw shortly after
ihe shooting arcd publicly declared
the prisoner insine, before, at the
time of and since the shooting, re
tired from the case -when Tl.aw in
arrger dismissed his lawyers, but
Dr. Clinton 13. Evans, of the Mor
ris Plains, N. J. Asylum, and Dr.
Charles T. Wagner, superintendent
ofthe State Asylum at Binghatnton,
N. Y., -succeeded in examining
Thaw upon the suggestion of bis
mother tfiat the doctors desired to
fond proof in support of his sanity.
Thee alienists were enabled to
subject Thaw to a thorough physi
cal and mental examination. It is
understood in the District Attorn
ey's cilice Drs. Kvans and Wagner
confirm the original diagnosis of
Drs. Hamilton and Dana, and that
the report given to Cliffton W.
HaTtridge is that Thaw was not
only insane when he shot White
but is insane now.
Another Teport which lias reach
ed the District Attorney's office
comes from Dr. Frank P. McGuire,
the regular Tombs physician, who
has often given expert testimony
at trials. Dr. McGuire, who has
seen Thaw daily since June 25, and
has examined him closely without
the prisoner's knowledge, declares
him unquestionably insane.
Based upon these and special re
ports, Mr. Jerome, who is to appear
m person at the trial, will raise the
question as to Thaw's sanity. It
is an unusual proceeding, as in
most cases defendants arc willing
10 adopt a plea of insanity, if they
are competent to understand it, to
get out of trouble.
It is btlieved in the District At
torney's office Thaw is not compe
tent to go on trial, and with the
appointment of a lunacy cotnmiss
:on. Drs. Flint, MacDonald and
Mab'n, alienists for the prosecu
tion, will be given, under an order
-f the court, the right to examine
Thaw and give testimony as to
heir conclusions before the com
mission, which is legally made up
Ja lawyer, doctor and layman.
Thaw, it is said by some of the
lienists who have examined him,
s suffering from a progressive and
ncurable form of insanity, and the
ncarceration in the Matteawan
.Asylum would be a life sentence, j
Though special attention has
een given in the District Attor-
ey's office to Thaw's mental state,
-very aspect of the case has been
boroughly investigated and the
istrict Attorney is prepared to
rove, in case he should be declar
'1 sane, tbst Thaw premeditated
be killing of White and expressed
us intention of killing him during
t period of fifteen months prior to
th tragedy.
The real fight in Thaw's behalf
y his counsel will be made to keep
haw out ol the madhouse, if it
.nould come to pass that he is ac
quitted after a trial on the ground
ie was insane when he killed
Vbite.

To Protect From Bogus Stocks
Bill to Be Introduced In Coming Seulon ol
Legislature to Protect People'a
Inlereiti.
An act will be introduced at the
coming session ofthe Pennsylvania
legislature that will be of interest
and concern to all holders of turn
ing stocks.
It is asserted by the legislators
who will father the bills that in
nearly every section of this State
there has been a lot of mining stock
sold that is worth scarcely the pa
per it is printed on. These stocks
have been sold at such low figures
that when the purchasers find they
have been duped they hesitate to
prosecute under the laws providing
for punishment of those who obtain
moneys by false pretense.
Under the proposed law any per
sons who advertise or in any way
ciiculate false or misleading state
ments about the mines on which the
stock is issued, or tell any untruths
in connection with their efforts to
find purchasers for their stock, will
be guilty of fraud and liable to be
punished by a fine not exceeding
$10,000, or imprisonment not ex
ceeding ten years, or either or both,
at the discretion of the court.
The victims of worthless mining
stock in very many cases are poor
people who are caught by the offers
to become "mine owners" at an ex
pense of two or three cents a share
the inducement being held out that
the stock will be worth much more
in a very short time. In many
cases the purchasers can never dis
pose of the stock and are out of
their savings.
A bill similar to the one that will
be presented at Hanisburg will be
introduced in every State in the
union and there are good chances
of the law "iecoming a general cne.

An Unwelcome Customer.
Called on an Underlakar't Asiitlant, and
Had the Man Aimott Ready lor
Principal.
A murderous assault, mysterious
in its character, inasmuch as no mo
tive is known, was committed Mon
day upon John P. Sutton, by nn un
known man, who after clubbing his
victim over the head with the butt
of a revolver, fired three shots at
him, two of them taking effect.
Sutton is employed by undertak
er Morris Lynch and lives in a tene
ment, over the undertaking rooms
at 603 Broadway, Olneyville.
That morning a stranger called
and said that a man on Amherst
street was dead and asked Sutton
to attend to the case. Sutton in
vited the stranger into the ho'use
where the latter suddenly struck
the undertaker over the head with
the butt of a revolver.
Sutton attempted to grapple with
his assailant, but the stranger elud
ed him and rapidly fired three shots,
one entering Sutton's right eye,
another his neck, while the third
went wild. Then rushing from the
house, the man made his escape.
Although bleeding profusely, 1
Sutton did not lose consciousness
and had strength enough left to
reach the telephone and call for an
ambulance. The injured man was
removed to the Rhode Island hospi
tal, where it was stated that his
wounds may not prove fatal.

For people, who are rnn-down
and jiervous, who suffer from in
digestion or dyspepsia, headache,
billiousness or torpid liver, coated
tongue with bitter taste in the

comes necessary to turn to some
tonic or strengthener which will as
sist Nature and help them to get on
their feet and put the body into
its proper condition. It is becom
ing more and more apparent that
Nature's most valuable health-giving
agents are to be found in forest
plauts and roots.
Nearly forty years ago, Dr. R.
V. Pierce, now consulting physi
cian to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y.
discovered that by scientifically ex
tracting and combining certain
medicinal principles frcm native
roots, taken from our American
forests, he could produce a medi
cine which was marvelously ef
ficient in curing cases of blood dis
order and liver and stomach trouble
as well as many other chronic, or
lingering ailments. This concen
trated extract of Nature's vitality
he named "Golden Medical Discov
ery." It purifies the blood by put
ting the stomach and liver into
healthy condition, thereby helping
the digestion and assimilation of
food which feeds the blood. There
by it cures weak stomach, indigest
ion, torpid liver or biliousness, and
kindred derangements.
