PRESSED NECRO SOLDIER T00 HARD
Winter Washington Said That Mex-
ican Greasers and Texas Cowbays
Shot Up Town te Make Troa-
bie For Negro Troops.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Many wit
hesse< were examined in the Browns
ville shouting affray Inquiry before the
senate commiltés on wilitary affairs
All were members of Company D of
the discharged battalion of negro sok
diers except the last ou the stand, for
mer Sergeant Luther T. Thornton of
Company B.
He testified that when aroused by
the firing on the night of Aug. 13 be
was under the impression that the bar
racks were being fired upon by people
of the town and that a similar opislon
Was expressed by woni¢ other mewbers
of his company. He said the reports
of firearms sounded to him like revoly-
ers and shotguns,
He told of the call to arms and of the
Inspections, of hearing that Company
Cs gum racks had been broken and
of his understanding that these had
been broken open upon orders of Lieu-
tenant Greer of Company C, because
the noucommissioned officer baving the
keys could pot be found
He was cross examined sbarply
about the possibility of a soldier get-
ting out of the reservation in the night
without being detected and sald this
could be doue, but he did not think the
map could get his arms and get out.
It was pointed out that the men al-
ready had ammunition, and the witness
replied that this ammunition bad to be
accounted for at Inspections, and if
Any were used the loss would be dis-
covered. He sald be had not heard
that bullets from army ammunition
had been found In the town until after
the arrival of Major Blocksom to make
an fnspection for the war department
Sergeant Fraser was recalled and
corrected his previous testimony by
saying that be had surrendered his am-
munition at Fort Reno instead of at
Fort Brown. He sald he had noticed
bis error lu a newspaper report of the
proceedings. Senator Warner pressed
the witnéss closely as to the paper
which carried the report, and Senator
Scott, acting chairman, declared that
Senator Warner was unfair. Senator
Warner replied that he was not pre
pared to take a lecture, especisily an
unjust lecture, and there followed a
general discussion as to the manver of
examining witnesses. It was general
Iy agreed that the senators should pro-
ceed as they pleased,
The next witness called for by Sen-
ator Foraker was Winter Washington,
and Senator Overman asked If he had
said Booker Washington. “No,” said
Mr. Foraker. “Booker Washington is
too busy attending to his senatorial
duties to come here” He referred to
the Interest of Booker T. Washington
In the question of having a negro ap-
pointed to a federal position In Ohio,
patronage which had been regarded as
belonging to the senators from Ohlo.
Winter Washington was a member of
Company D, and his story was not un-
like those told by Lis former com-
rmdes. His idea of the Brownsville
affray, however, was that “Mexican
greasers” and “Texasx cowhoys” had
done the shooting In order to make
trouble for the negro soldlers.

NEW YORK, Feb, “—Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, the beautiful young wife of
Harry K. Thaw, laid bare ip the crim:
inal branch of the supreme court here
the story of Ler life, the recital of
which is expected Ly the defense to
convince the jury that her husband
was justified when be shot down Stan
ford White, the famous architect and
the man who, she declared, first drug-
ged and then ruined ber and for whose
murder young Thaw Is on trial,
As the former chorus girl answered
readily the guestions put to her by
Delphin M. Delmas, chief counsel for
the prisoner, every one in the court
room leaned eagerly forward, so as not
to miss 8 wond that dmpped from her
lips. The pitiful story she told moved
every one In the mom. Men wiped
the tears from their eyes, while the
morbid women who had come to hear
the revolting testimony sobbed aloud
It was ove of the wost dramatic re
citslx ever heard in any court.
The girlish wife of the prisoner was
in the witness chair practically all
day.
To save the life of her husband she
bared to the world the innermost se-
crets of her soul, for the portraval of
which a sanctuary was a more fitting
place than the crowded, gaping court-
room. It was the same story she told
Harry Thaw in Paris in 1903 when he
had asked her to become his wife—the
confession of one who felt there was
an lusurmountable barrier to ber ever
becoming the bride of the man she
loved
In the big witness chalr she appear-
ed but a slip of a girl, und she told
the pitiful story of her eventful young
life jo a frank, girlish way When
tears came unbidden to ber big brown
eyes and slowly (trickled thelr way
down scarlet cheeks she strove In vain
to keep thew back, Though emotion
at times seemed about to smother ber,
she forced the words from trembling
lips, and by a marvelous display of
courage which took ber willingly to
her staggering ordeal she shook off a
depression which ouce threatened to
become an absolute collapse
As the young wife unfolded the nar-
rative of her girlhood and told the
early struggles of herself and ber
mother to Keep body and soul together,
of how gaunt poverty stood ever at
the door and how she finally was able
to earn a livelihood by posiug for pho-
tograpbers and artists, she won the
murmured sympathy of the throug
which filled every avallable space in
the big courtroom
Then came the relation of the wreck
of that girlhood at sixteen years of
1ge. It was the story of her meeting
with Stanford White, the story of the
sumptuous studio apartment whose
dingy exterior gave no hint of the
luxurious furnishings within, of a vel-
vet covered swing In which one could
swing until slippered toes crashed
through the paper of a Japanese para-
sol swung from the celling, the story
of a glass of champagne, of black,
whirling sensation and of mirrored
bedroom walls, In short, she told all
the story.
“Don’t scream so
is nll right.”
“And this was Stanford White?"
The question came from Delphin M
Delinas, now conducting the defense
of Harry Thaw,

Then came thelr advent in New
