RESUME OF rHAw TRIAL.

With Attorney Delmas fighting
every inch of the way, District Attor-
ney Jerome secured from Abraham
Hummel his complete story as to the
affidavit which it is alleged Evelyn
Negbit Thaw made in the lawyer OIL
fee in 1903, charging Harry K. ina"
with beating her when she told him
that the statement that Stanford
White had drugged and ruined her
was not true.
That Harry X. Thaw stripped on
Evelyn Nesbits clothes and hoggeu
her cruelty before she was married 10
him because she would not tell les
about Stanford White" was argued
by District Attorney Jerome in court.
The prosecutor was telling, IN the
hearing of the jury, what ne lntenoeu
10 prove by the testimony or Abraham
Hummel, the disbarred and 1ndlcteu
lawyer, his arguments serving the
same purpose as would the testimony,
should Justice Fitzgerald overdue
Mr. Delmas' objections and permit II
TO be given.
District Attorney Jerome scored on
the defense in the Thaw trial by Sc
curing the admission of testimony py
James Clinch Smith, brother-in-law OF
Stanford White, who said he talked
with Thaw just before the killing ana
he seemed entirely sane. The attor-
neys made tentative plans for the clos
ing stages of the trial.

TELLS ABOUT RAID
IN BROWNSVILLE
AFFAIR coNFESsES.
BLOW STARTED TROUBLE
Vengeful Negro Soldier Was Helped
by Several Others in Shooting
Many Aided in Clean
ing Guns.

Galveston, Textile mystery sur
rounding the murderous midnight raid
Of the negro soldiers from the Twenty
fifth infantry upon the people OF
Brownsville, Tex, on August 13 last
year, has been cleared up. A full
statement. has been made by one OF
the discharged negroes to two repre-
sentatives of the Galveston News.
After seven months of investigation
by the authorities of the United
States, during which time the most
searching inquiry has failed to shake
the testimony of the negroes that they
did not commit the outrage, what ap-
pears to be the true version of the
crime has been secured from one of
the discharged soldiers, who admits
that he partially participated The
man has been living in Galveston a
large portion of the time since he was
discharged without honor from the
military service of the nation which
he swore to serve honorably, and is
still in the city.
According to the statement made to
the reporters, the outrage was not
premeditated, but was the result of an
alleged injury done one of the sol
diers by white man in Brownsville
about half hour before the raid was
made The negro was struck by the
white man at a resort in BROWNSVILLE
The negro, returning to the bar
racks, seized his rifle and announced
that he was going to kill the white
man. Several of the negroes promptly
volunteered to go along and see the
work we'll done and to wipe out old
scores which they had against the cit
liens on account of the injuries which
they claimed to have suffered.
The negroes returned to the bar
racks after committing the assault on
the town, and many soldiers assisted
in the hurried cleaning of the guns
for the inspection which followed soon
after the shooting in the town ceased.
Apparently the soldiers from only
one company participated in the raid,
although practically the entire bat
talon knew that soldiers had done
the shooting.
