1t is said that the recent order pro-
Ihibiting employees Of the Norfolk and
western railroad from smoking ciga-
I%rettes will be opposed by the Brother
hood Of Engineers and Firemen on the
ground that it affects their personal

its employees from drinking infringe
personal liberty, and yet nobody will

THAW'S DEFENSE
Emotional Insanity to be the Plea-IO
be Disappointed if He Expects His
Family's Millions to save Him From
the Results OF His Fearful Deed.

It is settled that the defense Of Har-
~ Kendall Thaw to the charge Of
having murdered Stanford White. the
noted New York architect, will be emo
tional insanity, and it is practically
certain that the limelight will be
thrown upon the underworld Of New
York city. When asked, at the time
of the arraignment of ThaW h there
was IN the case. Assistant District At
torney Mott said: 1t is simply a Ques-
ton Of whether New York has gOn
down to the level of a mining camp or
whether a man has got q chance for
his life here" The answer indicates
that no effort will be spared to convict
the defendant, and that the district at
torney doesn't put any faith in many
Of the stories that have appeared in
print respecting the social life of
Thaw's victim and of his attentions to
ThaW's wife.
Alienists have expressed the opinion
that ThaW isn't insane. and it is prob
able that it would be impossible to con-
vince a jury that he is or eve was
Therefore emotional insanity-that is,
that the sight of White made Thaw
temporarily insane-is to be resOrIed
TO to ave him from the consequences
OF HIS crime. II Will require aDllltJ OF
the highest order to get a verdict Of
acQuittal from an intelligent jury by a
defense of that sort.
In order to support UGH a defense
It Will be necessary to go pretty thor
OUghly into the lives of both the de-
PENDANT and his victim. Hence. the
trial is certain to be sensational in the
highest degree. The public Will be
given an opportunity TO learn some
thing from men and Women under oath
OF that phase OF immoral lie in the
metropolis which j. lived after the
shadows of night have fallen and Of
which glimpses are given every once in
awhile in the newspapers.
If Thaw thinks the millions which
his family is able TO command will get
him out of the unhappy plight in
which he finds himself he IS likely 10 be
greatly disappointed. The tragedy has
aroused a public sentiment against
Old-olOOded murder OF the sort with
which he is charged, and il will be a
courageous jury that will acQult the
defendant in the face of it.
1t is possible that the defense will
be able TO show that Mrs. Thaw was
wronged by White before she became
Mrs. Thaw, and, perhaps, that she was
prosecuted by him after she was mar
ried. but that will not satisfy the
written law. AND it is the written law
that the state and the public are going
to insist upon. Even if h Thaw trial
is put Off until October interest in the
case isn't likely to abate a great deal
until il has been finally disposed Of

Guilford and Durham Republicans
HAYS High Old Times.

AS a climax to the most bitter and
turbulent meeting w witnessed in
Guilford county, the republican county
convention held in this city yesterday,
instructed the delegates 10 the state
convention 10 asst their votes for Con-
gresham E. Spencer Blackburn for
chairman.
In the precinct meetings held on fri
day for the purpose OF ~eiecting dele
gates 10 this convention, the Black
burn forces appeared in all possible
strength augmented by such democrats
as they could induce TO take part. The
bitterness that reached its highest pciRc
in the county convention began IN the
precinct meetings. and in several h
stances Il free fight was narrowly
ayerted.
The Adams men complained bitterly

GOldsborO. N. c.. July 9.-The union
passenger depot question that recently
was one of the most popular subjects
that could have been mentioned in
GOldsborO will begin to take on new
life again soon. The question has
been dropped for some time while the
parties who are opposed to the lOca-
ton selected by the railroads and the
corporation have been seeking redress
in the courts by procuring injunC-
tions. The application for the injunc-
ton has delayed the erection Of the
depot and VIII probably continue to
delay it for some time. Judge W. r.
Allen refused to hear the Ease because
he was a resident Of the city. Then
the hearing was postponed until the
Goth of this month ana up to the pres
ent time a Judge has not been selected
to hear il. In the meantime counsel
on both sides Of the question are busy
preparing their case. The hope has
been often expressed that the case be
heard in GoldsbOro, but it is not by
any means certain tina. it will, as the
lawyers may have to go to the judge
who consents TO hear the case.

Alleging that the Pennsylvania Rail-

a recommendation upon the matter Com
missioner Biddle said:
As TO the occupation Of the parking
by the walls, by the terms of the acts
providing for the elimination of grade
crossings. the structures of the railroad
companies are required to be built above
or below the street proper, and il is
necessary that access be had to them by
the public doing business with the rail-
road company Such access is granted
by the Commissioners in the case Of pri-
vate property by the use of driyeways
and walks, and this is all that is being
done by allowing the railroad company
to construct walls sufficient 10 permit
roadways 10 reach the level Of their
freight stations and other buildings
1T is not considered by the Commits
sioners that the public is in any Way in
convenienced by allowing such access.
