The Thaw Murder Case.

Harry Kendall Thaw was indicted Tor
murder in the first degree at New YORK last
week for the killing of Stanford White ON
the Madison Square roof garden June 20.
Thaw plead not guilty, his counsel asking
leave to amend the plea later. 1t is sara
that Mrs. Thaw will be the principal witness
in her husbands defense. The triai VIII
probably be held at the October term OF .ne
criminal courts. Many sensational stories
are circulated in connection with the MUIR
der. one being that Anthony Comstock has
been for some time investigating charges
against White and a coterie of prominent
New York men who were associated with
him in what, it is asserted, were the most
outrageous and revolving series OF orgies
ever brought to light in New York. Comstock
may bring testimony into the case for Thaw.

tolled. and an unsuccessful attempt
made to ring the Congregational church
bell.
Several accidents were reported but
none of them was of very serious ma
ture. Paul A. Whitaker had one side
of his face badly scorched by the ex-
plosion of giant cracker. Benjamin
Akley tore hole in the thumb of his
