New York, Feb 27.-Alienists now
have their inning in the Thaw trial.
the cross-eXamipation OF Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw having been completed.
The redirect and re.cross eXamina-
tions of Evelyn We're OF the briefest
character.
District Attorney Jerome began
his cross examination of DR.. Britton
ID. Evans, one of the alienists for the
defense He will follow this up by
cross-examining DR.. Charles G.. Wag-
ner. and then Doctors Deemar and
Bingaman will be called in rapid or
der. The trial at last seems to be
entering upon its final stage.
Just before Harry Thaw was taken
out OF the courtroom he handed the
reporters the following note; MRS
Thaw and Lady Ashburton, formerly
Frances Belmont, were not friends
They were simply acquaintances when
both We're playing at the same the
ater."
The completion OF Mrs Thaw's ex-
animation followed the unsuccessful
effort OF the prosecution to draw from
Abraham Hummel certain facts reat'
ing TO the affidavit which Mrs. Thaw
is said To have made In Hummels law
Office. In this affidavit. 1t is declared,
there was an allegation that Thaw
had beaten the girl abroad In 1908,
when she told him there was no truth
in the story about her relations with
Stanford White. Mr.. DelInas blocked
practically every question put to
Hummel. The witness got no further
than To say he knew Mrs, Thaw that
she came to his office Oct, 81. 1908.
while she was there. Justice Fit2ger-
aid held that under the rules of evil
denee covering Mrs. Thaw's testimony
the Introduction of collateral facts
was not permissible, The district at
tOrney is not allowed TO eontroyert
her testimony in any way, but may
test her credlbility. Mr.. Jerome said
In open court that he realized that

becomes what the name implies
and looks after the running of the
train and his train orders.
While no statement is forth
coming, it is thought in railroad
circles that the change in train
operation is due to the number of
recent wrecks of serious ma
ture. The new move will make
the conductor responsible only for
the conduct of his train and will
give him no excuse for MT giving
his entire time and thought to
that subject.

Governor Harris was profoundly
affected by the findings of the
Athens county grand jury which
indicted five attendants of the
Athens State hospital for the In
sane, and declared cruel punish
ment of inmates had been in vogue
there for years.
Should this condition of affairs
be proven to exist, in the criminal
trials which will follow the ipdict-
ments for murder and assault, it
is safe to predict the governor
will come down on the institution
and everybody connected with it
with heavy hand, and will not
leave yestige of the loose and ir-
responsible system under which

LARGE sum
OF MONEY
Government Office in Chi
cago Misses $4,000.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-Hundreds of
pairs of eyes Monday centered up
on 30 men, in a vain effort to dis
cover which of the 30 had stolen
$178, 900 from the United States
sub-treasury at Chicago.
The 30 worked on. The limo.
cent faltered not under the terrific
strain; the guilty never hickered
for moment.
From every quarter of the mar
BILE and broonze quarters in which
the governments money is hept
there came a glance that directed
itself to every individual in the
house, asking, care you the
thiefp"
The cold, chilly inquiry, colder
than the words, was met and
answered.
The morning opened with the
inquiry.
The day ended with the answer.
The Pinkertons, retained an.
nually by the associated banks of
the country, and versed in bank
affairs, lent their expert aid.
Eyes, piercing, searching, never
sleeping eyes-eyes that have long
been trained to search face for
sentence and line for declara-
tion, scanned the faces of the men
who bent at their tasks.
They scanned in vain. When
Captain Porter, skilled leader of
the secret service, climbed to the
heights of his Office after the day
of investigation, he carried with
him nothing save theory.
While he looked over his specta-
cles as one wrapped in deep
thought, scores of his men were
trailing employees of the sub
treasury. They were working both
from the office out and to the Of
fee from remote leads.
Two men stood out prominently
among the Offices employees as
men who might be found to have
the guilty. knowledge.
No mention of their names came
from the officials. But about
these two there clung the hope
that the government would even
tually fasten its coils.
But the money had disappeared
as though touched by the hand of
some geri. 1t was traced to the
cage of Che asserting teller, There
it had been left.
1t YVES only known that last
Wednesday afternoon this teller
had called his chief and told him
that the accounts were short $l73,
900. A hurried search had been
made. The men remained in the
office until late that night Isearch-
ing for clerical error. There
was no error.
The teller who had reported the
loss and to whose cage the sum
had been traced, was George w
Fitzgerald.
He is apparently 40 years of age
be is a trife bald. His face is
smooth-shaven and marked with
firm lines. The jaw is the jaw of
a fighter. The eye is small and
closely set and the eye is as cold
gray as chisel. The nose is a
trifle broad and surmounts a
mouth that is firm and we'll round
