"DID YOU MURDER MY WIFE?"
Warden Allen's Test of Honor System
in Penitentiary.
JOLIET, m., June 2t. Warden Edmund
M. Allen, of Jollet Penitentiary, planned
today to iput his advanced honor system
to the supremo test. Ho will personally
ask each of the 11 Buspected trustya "Did
you murder my -wife?"
The question Is to be put to each man
separately. The very opposite of third
degree methods will bo adopted. Allen
will point out to the men suspected that
a system meant to benefit their kind Is at
stake; that so long na the murder of Mrs.
Allen, killed Sunday morning; remains a
mystery, opponents of honor systems In
jails and penitentiaries -will have, an ar
gument on the side of re-establishing the
hated prison systems of old.
Tho beet" way for us to got him Is
(o snap htm up and rush him across tho
line.' "
Nothing developed from Hwlng'H testi
mony that showed how Thaw's "attorneys
hope to strengthen his pica of sanity ny
testimony concerning the supposed kid
napping plot. None of tho Thaw lawyers
would make any explanatory statement.
Ewlng followed Henry llousseau, tho
Coatlcook hotel proprietor, who went on
William Travors Jerome's bond of J1000
when Thaw's "nomensls" was arrested for
gambling In Coatlcook. He furnished
Thaw's meals whllo White's slayer was
In the Coatlcook Jail.
"Thaw expressed profound regrot at
Jcromo's arrest," Housnonu eald. "Ho
seemed glad that I would go on Jerome's
bond. Thaw's actions Impressed ma as
rational."
Sevorat other wltnosscs from Canada
and Kew England, connected with tho
cose In his Might from Matteawan, testi
fied they thought him sano.
Thaw said that ho did not fear his
coming examination at the hands of At
torney Cook, and rather welcomed tho
mental teit that ho would have to un
dergo. Mrs. Mary Coploy Thaw, tho aged
mother of the "relator," nB Thaw Is
known In tho case, may bo unwillingly a
factor In keeping her son from gaining
his liberty.
Deputy Attorney General Cook today
announced ho would read to tho Jury the
testimony or Mrs. Thaw, given at tho
second trial. In which she admitted that
Thaw and members of his family before
him had suffered from mental disorders.
Cook plans to uio this testimony as a
boomerang showing thnt Thaw Is af
fected by hereditary Insanity. If this
court will not allow this to bo read Into
the rocord Cook said he would bo forced
to call Mrs. Thaw to tho stand, as ho
considered her testimony vital to the
State.
Tho first witness who faced Judgo Hen
drlck and the Jury In tho Supreme Court
waa austave noeder, n newspaper re
porter, recalled for cross-examination by
Doputy Attorney General Coolc When
John B. Stanchfleld, of Thaw's counsel,
examined Itocdor yesterday about an
Interview with Thaw, Cook requested
that the cross-examination be put off.
Iloeder had said that Thaw Impressed
mm ns oeing rational.
Itocder testified he Interviewed Thaw
the day after he was sent to the Tombs
In 1300.
"How did ho Impress you then?" nsked
Cook.
"At that time," replied Iloeder, "Thaw
Impreffied mo as being not quite him
self." On redirect examination Boeder said
ho had Interviewed Thaw many tlmos
over a period of nine years, and that the
Thaw of today "Is vastly different from
the Thaw of 1306."
William L. Shurtlcff, a King's Counsel
of Quebec, who was retalnod by Thaw
when he was arrested at Coatlcook, then
took tho stand. Ho said that Thaw's ac
tions nnd conversations Impressed him
as being rational.
From tho early events In the trial to
day It became evident thnt Cook Is re
serving his heaviest attack on the Thaw
defense that he Is now legally sane until
the State calls the prisoner as its own
witness. When ho puts Thaw on tho
wltneaa stand he plans to make him tell
the Jury all the facts of his life, "from
the day of his birth until tho present
time."

ho announces his Intention of going to
Aguas Cifllentcs, which ho will make his
permanent neauquartcrs and provisional
capital."
It was admitted by Villa officers In
Juare today that their leader hod met a
reverse, but thsy declined to discuss the
Carranza reports. According in thr. tni-
ter, Obrogon's victory was tho result of
a brilliant flanking movement Strong
detnehmentfl of Villa urtlllery had been
stationed at Encarnaclon, south of Agua
scnllentes, but whtlo Obregon made a feint
against Villa's front ho sent largo cavalry
forces around the revolutionary leader's
right flank.
Villa discovered this movo too late to
stop tho cavalry, which cut into tho rear
of his positions. Tho Vllllstas, outflanked
