The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1906-06-28

The various episodes in the life OF Stan
ford White, quoted yesterday, indicate
that defense OF justitiabe homicide will
be entered, and Thaw may be able to
prove the shooting justifable. Also that
it is understood the famous case OF
Major General D. f. Sickles, who shot
Barton S. Key at Washington, will be
held up as a precedent. Sickles was ac'
quilted without the jury leaving the box.
The Tribune says the statement which is
puzzling the police is that White, his
daughter, and Corporation Counsel De-
laney, and friend were booked to sail
for Europe today, and on the same
steamer that Thaw and his wife also
would be passengers. Owing to state
ments, the paper says, of Thaw and his
wife against White, the fact that they
ween all to be passengers on the same
boat puzzles the police.

Thaw's Mother Ignorant.

Mrs. Thaw's relatives fear that read
ing public notice of her sons crime
might seriously affect her, and they are
anxious to send her a message before she
arrives in London. The position of the
Minneapolis, on which she is a passen-
ger is such that no message can be re-
layed as the vessel had covered about
one third of the distance to London
when the shooting occurred. The Min
neapolis was probably out of the range
of wireless communication from Sable
Island yesterday. The only hope of get
ting word of the killing to Mrs. Thaw /;
by cable to London. thence by wireless;
transmission from the White Star Liner
Majestic, which leaves Liverpool at
p. m. today. The Majestic should be
within communicating distance of the
Minneapolis on Friday.
A cable message might also be sent
to Southampton and put aboard the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, which leave:
that port today. If these steamers fail
to pick up the Minneapolis a cable mes
sage will be sent probably to the Mar
conf station at Poldhu, reaching Mrs
Thaw about l5 or 20 hours before she
arrives at London. The Minneapolis will
be in communication with the Lizards
about l / p m. on Saturday and is expect
ed TO arrive in London the next day.

and White had met on Sunday night in
Burns restaurant, in Sixth Avenue, and
had talked alone together until nearly 4
o'clock Monday morning.
Among the witnesses questioned yes
terday by the police was the waiter who
served the dinner to the Thaw's at the
cafe Martin, Monday evening. He de-
clared Mrs. Thaw was very quiet during
the meal, that Thaw did not meet White
at the restaurant and that Whites en-
trance did not cause any particular ex'
citement, except ha Mrs. Thaw was very
pale As to Thaw's conduct after the
dinner the waiter said:
when l handed him his hat he liter
ally jerked it out of my hand, and in
putting it on he crushed it down over his
forehead and eyes with a crashing sound
which indicated that it had been broken
by the violence of his treatment"

Thaw Acted Queer.

II have known Mr. Thaw since boy
hood and | have noticed that in the last
few years he has been erratic in his
behavior. | have not the slightest
doubt that he was insane when he com
mitted the deed. Mr.. Thaw was jealous
of his wife. He was in love with her
and she seemed to be in love with MIN.
Within the last few months he seemed
to be possessed with a mania that every
body was making love to her.
my interview with Mr.. Thaw in the
prison of the West Thirtieth street sta
ton was very brief. l warned him not
to discuss his case until he had seen a
lawyer and consequently | did not seek
to learn anything from him concerning
it. His first question was, 'How's
Evelyn?"
The only statement secured from Mrs
Thaw was one made while she was on
her way to the offices of her attorney
yesterday. She said:
"The incident of last night is too pain
| full to discuss. / am not fugitive from
Justice. / am here with my lawyer ant
| shall not try to get away.
IT hope poor Harry will soon get out
of his trouble. did not think he would
do it." ,.. -
In the course of today's investigation
it was learned that Shaw made a brie
visit to Europe last April after stormy
interview with his wife, with the avow'
ed purpose of never returning to her
The authorities are now trying to fine
out where Mrs. Thaw spent the tint
between her husbands departure fo
England and his return. Her friends say
she did not leave New York City. Th'
Tribune after commenting on the alien
| lists decision that Thaw is sane will sa.
tomorrow that this fact it is now be
lieved, will change the defense, and caus
Thaw to eventually be brought to tria

has an excellent chance of acquittal

quite recently th"re has hnar more
or less discussion as to the origin OF
the postage stamp.
Perhaps the most authentic story is
that which comes from the post Office
department at Washington.
II appears that about 80 years ago
Rowland Hin was travelling through
one OF the northern districts of Eng
land and for time was soiuurning at
an inn where the postman came with
a letter for young miss. who turned
u over and over In her hand and after
examining the envelope minutely in.
CURED the price of the postage, which
was "A shilling. She sighed sadly and
returned the letter to the postman
saying thar it was from her brother
but that she had no money
Mr. Hin was an onlooker and was
touched with pity. lie paid the
postage and his action seemed to EN-
barrass the girl. When the postman
had gone she told Mr.. hin that some
signs marked ON the envelope con
reNed to her all she wanted to know
ana tllat as Il fact there was no writ,

that she and her brother had con
