Jury In Thaw Trial Negro to Get Plum In Ohio Job For Ex-President Cleveland Several Sage Gifts Con ference on Japanese Question Da vis' Action Approved. " ' , Judge Walter Evans, in the federal court at Louisville, Ky., has overruled the demurrer of the Louisville & Nash ville Rallrond company to the equity petition filed by Erasmus L. and Annie M. Motley, in which the latter sought 10 eu force a contract by which the railroad compaiiy agreed to Issue an nun! passes to each of the plaintiffs during their lifetime. The court says that the act of June 29. 190G, known as the railroad rate bill, under which the railroad company declined to lusue the passes agreed, in January, 1907, should be considered precisely as If, In Its general language, there was an express exception ex cluding from Its operation the com plainants' contract. In no other way can the vested contract rights of the complainants be preserved. The general tenor of the opinion is to the effect that congress did not In tend to annul any previously made contract founded upon good consider ation. The court says, further, that the passes Issued the Motleys, while called "free passes," were not so any more than a ticket bought and paid for. The demurrer of the railroad com pany, which was argued by Colonel Henry L. Stone, was bnsed on the re bate law, which prohibits the Issuing of passes, the railroad taking the posi tion that this law ended Its contract with the Motleys. Jury Completed In Eight Days. The Thaw trial Jury was completed late on Friday. The selection of the 12th juror, Bernard Gerstnian, came as a complete surprise at the end of a long und tedious day the eighth of the trial und immediately after he had been sworn Justice Fitzgerald or dered an adjournment of court until 10:30 o'clock Monday morning.

The man selected Is Ralph Tyler of Col umbus, and he probably will be given the place of surveyor of customs at Cincinnati, the home of Senator For aker, who has been fighting the ad ministration In the Brownsville mat ter, taking the side of the discharged colored soldiers. ' The president has been impressed by the professed friendship of Sena tors Foraker and Dick for the colored" race and believes that they should have opportunity to show this. Is a concrete way. It is understood that, appreciating the strength of the pres ident's position, the Ohio senators will not oppose Tyler's confirmation. At present New York Is ,the only Northern state in which negroes hold federal office. On numerous Occasions In the past the president has desired to appoint 'negroes in othr Northern states; but has been deterred by the opposition of Republican senators and representatives from those states. .

Injunction Against Letting Contract. Bids for building a new Chautauqua county court house at Mayvllle, at a cost of $135,000, were opened at May vllle. As the committee wag about to let the contract, Its members were served with a complaint In a suit for a permanent Injunction brought by taxpayors of Jamestown and vicinity. The authority of the committee to let the contract is attacked on legal grounds, but the protest which led to the suit is based on current charges that the passage of the resolution of the board of supervisors under which the committee Is acting was procured by bribery. The Week In Congress. The time of both the senate and the house this week will be taken up with the consideration of appropriation bills, in the senate the Indian bill Is now under consideration, while the house has the river and harbor bill under way.

Mayor McClellan to set aside the service of summons and com plaint in the quo warranto proceed ings brought by the attorney general In the matter of the recount of the ballots cast at the last city election.

Defense Replied With a Plea il Hereditary Insanity. Story ' of Man's Insanity Promised From His Mother, His Wife, Hll Relatives and Physicians Thaw'i Demeanor During Testimony of Hll Victim's Son Eyewitnesses Called. New York, Feb. 5. The state laid bare Its case against Harry K. Thaw yesterday a bald, unemotional story of the shooting In the Madison .Square Roof Garden, leaving the motive to be biferred from the act and the de fense replied with a plea of hereditary insanity. It was asserted that Thaw in slaying Stanford White believed he was acting as an 'agent of Providence that real or fancied wrongs committed against him by the architect and form- er friend of his wife seethed in his brain until at. last there came the ex plosive Impulse to kill. When the act was accomplished, Thaw made no move to escape Its consequences, but holding the fatal revolver aloft, he stood am if mutely proclaiming to the world: "The deed Is done; It was right; it was not wrong." ' Thus Thaw's counsel outlined his case to the jury, after the prosecution had occupied less than two Hours of the morning sitting of tne court In re lating through eyewitnesses the nar rative of the tragedy. When the de fense had Interposed its plea and out lined Its case an adjournment was taken. "You will hear the story of this mans Insanity," Attorney John B, Gleason for the defense promised the Jury, "from his mother, from his wife, from his relatives and from his physl clans. You will Judge him by his acts, by the heredity and stress which en tered Into his madness, and when you come to Judge him you will say to yourself that his act may have been one of insanity, but it was not one of crime. Mother and Wife Excluded. That Thaw's wife was to be one of his most ImiKji'tant witnesses has long been known; that his mother, Mrs, William Thaw, of Pittsburg, was to take the stand only became known positively when the court excluded from the court room all witnesses save experts. Thaw's mother at the com mand left the room after a moment's hesitation. She seemed unwilling to be parted from her son In the hour of his need. His wife, too, reluctantly left the room, bestowing a last radiant smile of courage and hope upon her prisoner husband. May Mackenzie was the third of the women who have been dally la the Thaw party to leave the court room. Thaw seemed dejected. Many times last week during the dull days of selecting a jury he turned to his wife for comfort and found her ever ready with a quick responsive smile. Now that the serious work of the trial was to begin he was to be denied her presence. During the opening address by Mr. Glenson In which he entered the de fense of insanity Thaw sat with Hushed cheeks, which at times he covered with his hands, and with downcast eyes. He seldom looked up, Just a fleeting glance now and then at the man who was making the first plea for his life and freedom. Never once did his eyes wander to the jury box where the 12 men, with grave faces, listened Intently to every word of Mr. Gleason's somewhat lengthy speech. There was another period during the morning sessiou when Thaw again looked only at his hands, clasped before him on the table. .This was when Lawrence White, the 19 year old son of Stanford White, was on tho stand as the first witness for the pro secution. Young White, who Is a Harvard stu dent, was hot a material witness. He was with his father at dinner the evening pf the tragedy but left hira be fore he went to Madison Square Gar den. White was alone, It was testi fied, when Thaw approached Blowly from behind, wheeled, faced him and sent three bullets Into his brain and body. Thaw's counsel told the story of the riloner's love for the girl he made his wife. He met Evelyn Nesblt in 1901 and then and there began In htm an honorable regard and love for the girl. He Jold her mother of that lovo. The girl was In a precarloiiB condition following a serious opera tion In a sanitarium and Thaw sug gested to her mother that she take Evelyn abroad to recuperate. It was arranged that Thaw should accompany the two as the avowed suitor of Miss Nesblt.. In 1903 he asked her to marry him and she re fused. "The reason for this refusal you will hear from her Hps," announced Mr. Gleason. "Suffice It to say the reason had to do with an Incident In her life with reference to Stanford White." Foundation For Insanity Plea. Thus laying the foundation for the plea of Insanity, the defendant's law yer declared brain disease laid hold of Thaw some three or four years ago. He said that there have been many Instances of a person .being Insane upon one subject and that alone. Mr. Gleason cited Instances of temporary Insanity evidenced by a single act. "We will not base our plea, however, upon a single act," he went on. "It will be shown that therewaa Insanity on both sides of this defendant's fain-, lly. ' Heredity has made us what we are, heredity has made the living world. Our case is far removed from the much discussed defense of emo tional Insanity. You must disabuse your minds of all you have read in the newspapers and especially of the Idea that has gone abroad that we are to rely upon some higher or unwritten law. "We rely upon the constitution and laws of the imperial state of New York and upon them alone. You will under stand this man's insanity. It will not require experts to tell you of It It Is within you to Judge him and you will say from the evidence that when he killed StanTord White he was an In sane man." He declared that Thaw labored un der the delusion that his life was al ways In danger when he was In New York city and that he believed threats had been made to kill him. This ac counted for the fact that arter Jan uary, 1901, he always carried a pistol He had placed It In his overcoat pock et the night he went to the Madison Square Roof Garden. There he turned suddenly and saw what he thought was a demon 'glowering at him. The to pulse came. He felt that to kill White would be an act of Providence and bo believing he set deliberately at his task. It was the work of an Insane man, Mr. Gleason said the delusion of a disordered brain. Mr. Gleason Twice Interrupted. Counsel told the story of Thaw's de fense In a conversational, way as if he were taking every Juror Into his con fidence. They listened intently. Mr, Gleason was twice interrupted by Dls- trict Attorney Jerome on the ground that he was arguing the case from the evidence Instead of plainly stating what the evidence was to be. The interrupt Ions caused Mr. Gleason to repeat In some Instances, but his re marks did not seem thereby to lose weight. . In adopting a calm dispassionate manner In addressing the Jury, Thaw'e attorney followed the example set by Assistant District Attorney Garvan, who opened for the prosecution at the beginning of the session. The rumor that there were to be further changes in the Jury box were tot down until Mr. Garvan actually be gan speaking. It was said that Dis trict Attorney Jerome had brought all the pressure and persuasion at hU command to gain consent for the re moval of one or, two of the men, but Thaw's counsel resolutely and suc cessfully resisted all pleading for a further revision of the trial panel. Mr. Garvan in telling the story of the alleged murder occupied less than 10 minutes and the prosecution's en tire side was kept within two hours. Except young White and the coro ner's physicians who performed the autopsy and described the wounds In White's body the only persons called to the stand by the state were five eyewitnesses. They were cross-examined briefly by Attorney Delphin Delmas of the defense, who for the first time participated actively in the proceedings. Witnesses told nothing that has not been known to the read ing public ever since the night of the tragedy. They related the deliberate way in which Thaw approached White, faced him and fired. They repated Thaw's assertion "He ruined my wife," and Mrs. Thaw's remark to her hus band, "Yes, but look what a fix you are In now." To this Inst remark Thaw replied: "Dearie I have probably saved your life." It was brought out that Thaw looked hack at his victim as he walked away "with a staring look In his eyes." Garvan's Outline of State's Side. Mr. Garvan's outline of the state's side was of the briefest. He told of Mr. White dining at the Cafe Martin with his son and a college mate of the latter the evening of the tragedy. He related how White went to the roof garden on Madison Square Garden to see the initial performance of a sum mer" musical comedy called "Mam zelle Champagne" and then related in simple unemlielllshed language how he was killed. "The people claim," he continued, "that It was a cruel, deliberate, mal icious, premeditated taking of a hu man life. After proving that fact to you we will ask you to find the defend ant guilty of the crime of murder in the first degree." It was not until after Mr. Garvan had spoken that the prisoner's wife. and mother were barred from the room under the rule excluding wit nesses. t Mr. Garvan spok so low that his remarks could not be distinguish ed from the Jury box. Mrs. William Thaw and her daughter-in-law both fteard distinctly, however, from where they sat. They evidently were .pre pared for a much longer ordeal and seemed surprised when the young as sistant to Mr. Jerome finished. - It Wa.o't Filled. .
