Wife Of Prisoner Repeats for Hartridge
Story Of Her Life in New York.
Statement Like One Given Judge 0|cott After Ar
rest Decision Reserved on Writ Against Jerome.

New York. July 19.-Clifford w Hart
ridge. counsel for Harrk X. Thaw and
the prisoners wife. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw held a conference with Thaw in
the Tombs prison today. The appli-
cation of John d. Gleason of Thaw's
counsel for an absolute writ prohibiting
District Attorney Jerome from examin-
ing witnesses under subpoena in the
ThaW case came up for argument be-
fore Justice Mclean today. Counsel
for both sides declared they were ready
to proceed.
Argument on the writ of prohibition
was heard promptly. At the conclusion
Justice Mclean reserved his decision.
In his argument in support of the
writ, John ID. Gleason based his appli-
cation on the grounds that the grand
jury has no inquisitorial powers and
that under the state constitution Thaw
has the right to be present whenever
the testimony of any witness is sought
to be taken against him and to exam
inc the witness.
William II. Olcott. the lawyer who
was dismissed by Thaw and ordered
by the court to show cause why he
should not surrender the papers in the
Thaw case to Thaw's new counsel
Clifford w. Hartridge, said today that
the papers will be surrendered to Mr.
II2rtridge this afternoon. He added:
''Theie will Re no appearance in court
think. for the reason that there will
be no occasion for such a proceeding
do not wish to appear inimical to the
attorneys for Thaw because l do not
feel toward them in that way"
Thaw's wife, after visiting him in the
TombS today, drove to the office of her
husbands personal counsel, Mr.. Hart
ridge, for whom she dictated n long
statement, giving n history of her life
since she has been in New York. Mrs
ThaW gave such a statement to Mr..
OlcOtt, formerly of ThaW'S counsel,
shortly after Thaw was arrested.
Mr.. Olcott late today turned over
to a. r. Peabody, representing Mr..
Hartridge, Thaw's personal counsel,
all the papers he had bearing on the case
with the exception of letters written
to Judge OlcOtt by Lewis l.. Delafield
and reports of detectives made to Judge
OlCott since Architect White was killed.
His reason, he said for retaining the
detectives reports was that there is a
question in his mind as TO whom they
belong. Thaw or the person who paid
| for them.

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.--Important

workers. In New York city only mea-
ger details OF the persons killed

hibiting safety devices for dangerous

giene. and to set IN motion the move
ment to establish more accurate rec
ord Of Industrial fatalities and aoci-
dents in all parts OF the country.
DIR, Josiah Strong, president of the
American Institute OF Social Service,
in speaking of the number OF persons
killed each year in our industrial oc-
cupations. made some astonishing COM
parisons He said:
"we In the United States kill in
four years some 10000 persons, more
than fell In battle and died of wounds
during the four years OF the civil war.
We are killing more than twice as
many every year as perished by vio-
lence In both the French and English
armies during the three years Of the
Crimean war;
"There are more killed and wound
ed on our railroads every year than
the entire losses of the Boer war on
both sides in three years. We have
Industrial casualties enough every
year to keep one conflict like our war
with Spain going on 1900 years, or
IL such wars going on for 100 years,
Our peaceful vocations cost more lives
every two days than were lost in bat
tie during the entire Spanish war;
aFrom. the best statistics obtainable
may say there are today $4,000
persons In the United States under
sentence of death to be executed at
unknown moments during the next ten
years-~1, 100 next week and the same
number every week until the CHASTITY
work is complete,
