WILSON IS
WITH 'EM

The presence of Hon. John l..
Wilson in Spokane avowedly to at
tend the Clark-Richard wedding,
has given rise to several kinds OF
political emotion.
Senator Wilson talked with
Blonde" Wood for an hour yes
terday afternoon. That looked sus-
picious.
Another friend Of the former
Spokaneite says that Wilson's visit
has no connection with politics. He
also says that the senator will re-
main in Spokane for about three
weeks.
Wilson is simply a newspaper
man." volunteered the friend.
1t was lucky that the Clark wed.
ding did not take place prior to
the Republican county convention
else the senator's presence here
would have caused more than
the usual commotion on Monroe
street and Riverside avenue.

INQUEST TODAY.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The
grand jury this afternoon filed with
Judge Cowan an indictment charg-
ing Harry Thaw with murder in
the first degree for killing Stephen
White.
Thaw will be arraigned tomorrow
to plead to the indictment.
At the inquest today it took the
coroner's jury just three minutes
to reach verdict, charging Thaw
with possibility for Whites
death. In conformity with this he
was held to the grand jury.
Thaw walked from the inquest
without a word. His wife was not
present. She wanted to attend and
sit beside her husband, but his at
torneys advised her to stay away.
Lionel Lawrence, manager of the
show at Madison square was the
most important witness. He testi-
fed that Immediately after the
shooting Thaw turned to the crowd
