considered the first step towards the
conviction of the leaders of the Yves

charged with the assassination of form

Idaho. Crime charged against Adams
is murder of Fred Tyler, settler, who
disappeared in August 1904 and whose

Adams and otner federation men in
the murder of the Governor, it was
declared that Adams and Jack Simp-

fed in the order, and even though
considerable of the lumber brought

cal lumbermen would be unable to

1t will be seen from these express

70 great that they finally employed

Since the Record is in the business
of publishing the news, it endeavored
to print the facts regarding this suit,
with truth and fairness. The facts,
however, are not to the credit of the
railroad company, and hence the
charge of unfairness. The Record has
endeavored to be fair, and we believe
has succeeded We have endorsed the
case against the railroad because the
success of the appeal to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission is vital
to the best interests of the people of
the Pecos Valley. With fair freight
rates, the growth and upbuilding of
the towns of the valley would receive

ARIZONA PASSES AN

The Arizona legislature has adopt

bling a grave offense.
El Paso's heartiest congratulations
go out to the legislature, the governor
and all of the people of Arizona A
dark stain has been removed from the
territory's fair countenance, and the
self respect of the people will rise

a west wind.
Three cities. Tucson. Phoenix. and
Douglas. had already voted to abolish
public gambling by local ordinance;
Tucson two years ago took this step.
But now without warrant under the
law of the territory, the gamblers will
have hard time OF it in every town
OF the commonwealth. The people
are thoroughly aroused to the waste
fulness and criminality of the gamb-
ling system, and the new law will
help many a long and suffering com
munity to purge itself of this moral
and economic ga7grenOus disease.

New York, Feb. 12.-Counsel for
Thaw unexpectedly announced last
night that it would take about two
days more to put in the direct case
for the defense. This of course does
not take into consideration the cross
examination of Thaw's witnesses by
Jerome, but indicates plainly that
Thaw will not go on the stand.
What is regarded as an important
document in connection with the
trial, it is understood, was obtained
yesterday by Jerome from Abe Hum,
mel 1t is a Photographic copy of
the statement which Evelyn testified
and Hummel dictated when she went
to his Office with White. 1t is under
stood that it charges that Thaw i'll
treated her, and even beat her. Je-
rome and Hummel met in a restaurant
yesterday and a brief conference fol
lowed, during which Jerome made a
number of notes. Although today is
Lincoln's birthday, it was decided to
nOIQ COURT 1t 10 dlSO AdW OlA
day. He is SO years old.
The first witness in the Tnaw trial
today was DR.. Britton d. Evans, SUI
perintendent of the State Insane nue
he said contained an average of 1900
patients. He first saw Thaw August
4, 1906, in the Tombs, and had visit
ed him eight times.
Dr. Evans testified that on his first
visit ''Thaw's restlessness of eye
suspicion of his surroundings and OF
me, his nervous agitation and rest
lessless were sucn as comes from a
severe brain strain, common to those
who have recently gone through an
explosive or Illuminating condition OF
mental unsou1dness. He exhibited de
lusions of a personal character, exag
gerated ego, and along with them de
Iusions of persecutory nature He
thought himself of exaggerated i'm
portance and believed himself perse
cuted by a number of persons" These
symptoms the doctor said, were
characteristic of several mental dis
! eases.
One of the mental conditions indi
Gated by Thaw's actions, Evans de
clared, was adolescent insanity. III

hibits no marked symptoms, bu

took on a declamatory voice., ''tht
man does not break down as an or
