And Man on Pilot Climbed Into the
Engine Cab.

While moving ait the rate OF so
miles an hour Engineer Mike Kelley,
on the fast flyer, No. 1902, from
Memphis to Louisville, saw a head
protruding from the front of his en-
CINE. He next saw pair of arms
and half body of man was finally
dragged into view on the pilot. A
sickly, drunken grin spread over the
mans features as he saw the en-
gineer's frightened face. Shutting
of the power the engineer applied
the air and brought his train to a
stand still. The man had climbed un-
observed on the pilot at Fulton. He
was not discovered until several
miles out of Fulton when the speed
grew too great for him.

ADJOURN OVER UNTIL MONDAY.

New Work, Feb. 0.-AIost New

acquitaI of Harry Thaw. II is be-
lieved it will take all next week 20

Whites Perfidy.
For the first time an intimatiou
was given of the point, which if es-
tabished, will probably result In the
Iacquittal of Harry Thaw under the
unwritten law that Stanford White
was unwilling TO give up Evelyn even
after she had become the wife of
T'haw and that he sought-even after
after it had become evident that she
was trying to live down her pitiful
past-to drag her down again to the
depths from which she had been lift
ed by her genuine love for Thaw.
1t was only hint, but it caused
every juror to bend forward with in
tensffied eagerness. The little wife of
the prisoner had been on the grill all
morning, listening to much tiresome
wrangling over the admissibility OF
evidence, and it was not until near
the noon adjournment that she was
able to give any testimony of real
weight.
Aside from this little straw which
indicated the direction which a gale
may sweep down on the case of the
state. the most interesting testimony
of the morning session was the story
of the attempt by White assisted by
Lawyer Abe Hummel to denounce
Harry Thaw as blackmailer.
Mrs. Thaw testified that other girls
had been wronged by Stanford White.
the architect whom her husband slew
in Madison Square garden last June.
Mrs. Thaw testified that she had told
her husband, Harry Kendall Thaw,
the prisoner, that other girls had met
the fate that was meted out to her
by the architect in his studio when
she was 16 years old.
"Tattle of the TenderIoin."
District Attorney Jerome, who had
throughout silently listened to Mrs.
Thaw's statements, sent a thrill of
excitement through the court room
late in the day by jumping to his feet
and vigorously protesting against
this defamation of the dead"
In tone bitterly sarcastic, Jerome
spoke of "this tattle of the tender
loin' declared that the court had the
right to limit such testimony until
evidence has been adduc I'd
to show that this man is, or was, of
unsound mind We don't know
whether this defendant ever was in-
sane he concluded.
The question which called out
vehement protest from the district
attorney was addressed to Mrs. Thaw
by Delmas and its purport WAS
whether or not Thaw had at any
time told her about "other girls who

DESERTED WIFE
SENT TO FRIENDS
Mrs. Crenshaw Given Trans
pOrtatiOn to Deanfield While
Efforts are Being Made to
Find Husband
BELIEVED HE WILL RETURN.

Mrs. Sale Crenshaw and her sew
en-year-old son who came to Padu-
cab Monday from Carbonate, ILL.,,
and patiently awaited the arrival of
Mr.. Crenshaw, who promised on
sending them here to follow at once,
We're taken to the city hall yesterday
and given transportation to Dean
field, Ky, by the city.
AT the depot Mrs. Crenshaw talked
freely to attaches concerning her
case, and it Is the general opinion
that the missing husband has not in
tentionaliy deserted his family, but
is in jail somewhere.
"Mr. Crenshaw IS drinking
man." the wife admitted, land often
gets on a spree. He had not been
much OF late, and be-
lieved he would come TO us at once. "
This led the depot officials to believe
that he fell by the wayside enroute
here and was taken into custody.
A search is still being instituted
for the man, and he will be located II
anywhere within a radius of 100
miles Of Paducah. The wife has
relatives in Deanfield, which is a
small settlement near Owensboro.
She was grateful to the mayor for
her transportation, but it
required much persuasion to shake
her belief in the husband.

Tombstone Ground
 Gave Way

A remarkable cave-in occurred near the corner of Fifth and 1oughnut streets at o'clock this aftern on. and a horse and wagon belonging 90 the | Tombstone Improvement Co. were suddenly precipitsted some 75 feet from the surface and lost to view in the big cavern locate dire ctly be- meath the streets at that point.
 Manager Charles Gage of T. I. Co vas on the wagon, when tn" horse suddenly stumbled and fell. Mir Gage promptly jumped from the seat to go to the horses head. when he was mortified to see the ground give way with s crash and the vehi le and animal disappear. and h'mseif left standing on the very brink of the gaping forbidding apersture in the earth, thankful, however, that he had mirsculously escaped serious injury or possible death.
 This disturbance Of the ear.h's crus. is not A phenomena, but is the nat ural result that often follows mining operations when stoping has pro gressed near the surface and the sup ports, ii any, are too frail to bear the weight for which they were intended. In this instance where the horse and wagon went down the weakened DOT ton of the earth is evidently on the store, ard when the animal desce ded it's course was down an incline of about 45 degrees, the speed downward being hastened by s plentiful quan. tity of loose rock, dirt and debris.
 Although considerably bruised, tn. horse was found to have apparently suffered no serious injury. The an- ina was found pressed beneath the wagon and some timbcrs and was res. cued before the rapidly descending earth smothered him. The wagon was badly wrecked, both front wheels being broken. By means of ropes the vehicle was pulled out through the opening on the surface, while tn, horse was taEen through the drifts oi the old workings and brought to terra firma near the old Vizna shaft, some distance from where he made his went under.
 The scene of the cave in is what is known as the Good Enough" stope from ~hich one of the largest deposit. of ore in the camp was taken. Tine stope is some 300 long and 200 fee wide and at several points is nearly 100 feet high, reaching to within r few feet Of the surface. At the poin, Of the cav-iu the crust was scarcely 2 foot thick.
 Sometime since the Tomb tons Consolidated Mines company extend ed fence along what was regarded as the danger limits but the new treak ii located near the railroad track. It is thought the rumbling ot trains in such close proximity to the big stope has gradua ly loosened the dirt and weakened the overhead crust. Tn. matter will be investigated and snp- ports placed to avoid . repetition Of today accident and possible casualties.

Renders Decision
 Against Government

In the opinion of Oscar Lswlor. United States attorney of the Los Angeles district, the supreme court of the United Ssstes by i's action re- gently in the cases of five of the seven Toe Angeles men indicted in the Oregon land fraud investigation, has effectuslly tied the hands of every United States attorney in the country as far as the prosecution of big crimi- nsls is concerned.
 Lswler adds that prosecutions in volving e1trsdition will be farcical until congress adopts an entirely new law.
 "The holding of the supreme court of the United States that an indict- meBt alone is not sufficient cause for removal of A prisoner to the center of trial when his arrest is made outside the district. virtually sllows a de- fendsnt two trisls of his case," said Attorney Lasler recently in Los Angeles.
 "Uuder his ruling . man arrested in Arizona on an indictment found in California. may demand a hear ns and the prosecution is required to go to the expense of recalling and trans- porting it's grand jury witnesses ID addition to suffering the attendant de- lay.
 Also of course the United States attorney has to show his hsud, and the defendant has chance to find out the governments case without himself exposing q single card in the game.
 1t amounts 70 an absolute bar to prosecution of ths trusts, interstate commerce cases and big federal con. spiracy cases like ths, of the Louisi. ana lottery"

 Just what the purpose of the Ran dolph lines was in making this pur- chase could not be learned but it is rumored that shops for the Gila Val ley, Globe X Northern will be erected at Bowie
 The business of this road is in. cressing and it is necessary to put up shops somewhere along the line. There are hut two places open for the shops. One is Globe and the other is Bowie.
 Bowie is the junction point of the Globe road with the main line of the Southern Pacific and 1t is stated that for this purpose it is considered muct more advantageous.
 Should it be definitely decided 'c erect the shops at Bowie ;. worle mean that the desert town which i, now e decidedly small hamlet would become a village of considerable size The Tucson Citizen says it would co the railroad company at least s2OO. .0j to put up chops of any size. Shoul' the shops be built it is stated tha they would not interfere with tn Tucson shops which handle all tn work on the Tucson division.
