THAW'S LAWYERS
ENGAGE ALIENTSTS

NEW YORK, July 9.-The lawyers fer
Harry Thaw have retained most of tbe
prominent alienists in the country to as
sist in Thaw's defense, and should the
court desire to appoint a commission of
its own 10 examine Thaw it was said that
it would be practically impossible to find
any alienists of sufficient reputation who
could serve, as they are already retained
by the defense.
In all trials where experI testimony IS
introduced it Is the custom for the court
to limit the number Of experts who can
testify to three or four. This rule un-
doubtedly will be followed at the trial Of
Thaw. For that reason II would seem as
though the rush on the part of Thaw's
counsel to retain every available alienist
on his side may have been planned so
that the District Attorney could not get
any Of them for the prosecution.
The defense is apparently working very
hard building up the insanity defense.
There is reason to believe that the law
yers have not been as successful as it
was thought they would be at first in
getting witnesses to tell Of scandalous
acts on the part Of Stanford White. II
was the nlan Of the defense at first TO
get oil this in as evidence and bring cut
all the scandal they could in order to
show what had been working on Thaw's
mind TO make him susceptible Of emo-
tional insanity.

incidentally, such evidence undoubtedly
would have had an effect on the jury. If
1t could have been introduced. Of arousing
sympathy for the prisoner. But from the
recent developments It appears as if the
scandal seekers had not been very for
tunate, although it is known that the
town has been raked over for scandal.
Without the aid Of such testimony the
case will largely depend upon the experts.
There was a report that the defense
eventually would abandon the emotional
insanity plea and go back to the plea as
originally planned-namely that Thaw
was. and IS now. an insane man. When
this was carried to Mr.. Olcott to-day. he
made his usual answer that the defense
had nothing TO say regarding its plans
Mr.. Olcott went to Philadelphia TO lool,
mp certain evidence. lie would not say
what this was, but he admitted that II
had come ina letter received by tho firm.
Thaw submitted TO third examination

hours with I'haw. DR.. Hamilton said that

a second cabin passenger on the steamer
Bluecher from Hamburg. jumped over
beard into New York harbor today while

FINLAND READY
To FIGHT WITH

ST. PctcrSburE. Feb. G. The Novoe

in regard to the importations OF arms into

dence that the radical organization I'm Fin

port OF the next outbreak OF tho Russian
rcvoutionists. Not only were well-amcd
infantry forces being drilled, but horses
were being trained for cavalry and ar
tilery service and shells for field artll-
lery We're being imported.
The statements OF tho Novoo Vremya
are undoubtedly correct 80 far as the
Finnish extremists are concerned. but the
Nationalists. and even the Social Demo
Gratis organization, disclaim any conncc-
ton or even sympathy with violent meas
ures.

mer commanded OF the Seminovisky regi-
ment. 10 be state secretary OF Finland,
the connecting link between the emperor
