men say they are Carlo Giro, born In
Trieste, Austrli, and "John Smith
The latter speaks with German accent,
lie was the one wounded. He was op
erated upon and told that he might
not live and urged to tell the whole
truth. He admitted, the police say,
Hint it was a bullet from his pistol,
discharged In a struggle with .Mrs.
Staber's son George, that killed hor.
Giro was picked up first after the
burglary while trying to beg or buy a
pair of shoes, for the men had removed
theirs while entering the house. Smith
wart found under a bush, bleeding,
about a mile from the Staber house.
Mrs. Staber was shot dead at 2
o'clock in the morning while standing
in her bedroom door.
The burglar withdrew to the hall but
Ihe mother's cries had aroused her
son George, 20 years old. As he stepped
from his door, a man strurk at him In
the darkness, missed ma stumbled
down stairs. At the same Instant he
saw the second burglar, grappled with
him, and fought him Into the bath
room. In the struggle the burglar
mnnnged with his free hand to draw a
seven-shot automatic pistol. Then be
gan a fierce fight for the pistol.
In the meantime .Mrs. Staber was
standing in the doorway, screaming,
not heeding her husband's attempt to
pull her Into the room. Young Staber
succeeded in keeping the muzzle of
the burglar's gun away from him, but
It was nevertheless discharged. Two
shots went wild; the third cut the
drawstrings of his pajamas, Bet the
cloth on Are, and, though not wound
ing him. killed his mother. Just as
young Stqher finally got control of the
pistol, the burglar wrenched loose.
Staber chnsed him down the stairs,
firing as he ran. Two shots evidently
took effect but the la9t two cartridges
misfired. When he reached the ver
andah, the street was empty.

THAW'S DAYIN Cdl
Commission of Three Alienists
to Pass on His Sanity.
Justice Mills Favored Appointment ol
a Commission but Thought the 8tat
Should Name Two of the Three Ex
perts All of the Testimony So Fai
Is In Favor of Thaw'a Sanity Eve
lyn Nesblt Thaw to Appear For Hei
Husband.
White Plains, July 13. If counsel
can agree, n commission of three alien
tsts, mutually selected, will pass or.
the question of Harry K. Thaw's san
Ity. This was practically decided al
a continuation of the hearing before
Justice Mills, In which counsel fot
Stanford White's slayer Is trying to es
tabllFh his right, to release from tht
asylum for the criminal Insane at Mat
teawan.
With all of the testimony In favor ol
Thaw and with the Indication that hit
lfe, Evelyn Nesblt Thaw, will take
the stand In his behalf; with District
Attorney Wll'lam Travers Jeromf
eliminated. Thaw's chances for release
appear brighter than at any time slnc
his commitment.
After a string of witnesses testify
ing to Thaw's soundness of mind had
told their story, Roger Clarke, deputy
attorney general, who Is conducting
the people's case, informed the court
that he had been so much impressed
by Thaw's Intelligent Interest. In tht
case at stake, that he conceded Thaw'f
right to a full and Impartial examina
tion. He suggested that counsel foi
Thaw and counsel for the people agree
to a commission of three expert alien
ists whose decision should be accept
ed by both parties to the suit without
reservations or equivocation. Charles
Morschauser, for Thaw, was agreeable
and asked that Dr. Baker, superintend
ent of the state asylum, and Dr. Aus
tin Flint be named as two of the
three.
Justice Mills favored the suggestion
for a commission but was of the opin
Ion that the state ought to name two
of the three experts. With that ex
ception, he left the personnel of Jhe
commission to be determined k'?j
counsel for both sides. Jr
Mr. Morschnuser pressed for anoth
er advantage for his client by asking
the court, In event of selection of a
commission, that any one who had testl
fled in previous proceedings be barred
from the examination now In progress
Justice Mills left this point also tobe
decided by counsel.
Evelyn Nesblt Thaw, who has been
living quietly In retirement of late,
may take the Btand. She has abandon
ed vacation plans, It Is announced, In
order to appear for her husband. The
testimony heard from Jailers, real es
tate dealers, clergymen, a dentist and
a reporter all called by Thaw was
uniformly In his favor.
Witnesses related conversations
with him on music, dogs, cigars, liter
ature, electricity, geology, prison life,
sport, religion and the personality of
the late pope, Leo XIII. A watchman
had learned from Thaw that the stone
age was to be placed some 500 years
back. An Innkeeper thought Thaw
perfectly sane, except that on one oe
coslon he had refused the witness' in
vitation to take a drink with him. He
admitted under cross-examination that
he had known several persons to de
cline a drink.
