HARRY THAW
DECLARED SANE
LunaCy Board This Afternoon
Unanimously Declares Him
of Sound Mind
HIS FAMILY IN COURT
HEAR THE DECISION
BY our own wire. Publishers Press.

BY Our Own Wire. Publishers Press.
NBw YORK, April 4.-Harry X
Thaw is sane. A unanimous report
from the three members of the Thaw
lunacy commission. handed by Judge
Fitzgerald to the attorneys for the
state and the defence shortly before
2SO this afternoon held that Harry K.
Thaw is sane and capable Of directing
his own defence in his trial for the
murder OF Stanford White.
Neither Thaw, the jury, nor the in
sanity commissioners were in the court
at the time the announcement was
made.
The report, in written form, was
handed to the opposing attorneys. who
were told by the court that he would
hear them if they had any remarks to
make.
The report means that the Thaw trial
will be resumed at the point where it
was interrupted several days ago by
District Attorney Jerome's request for
the, commission to determine the pris-
Oner's present sanity.
All Of Thaws relatives excepting Mrs.
Carnegie were in the room at the time.
The report of the commission is un-
doubtedly the most important action of
the trial. While it frees Thaw from
AL danger Of being sent to Matteawan,
the calling Of the commission is believed
to have created the doubt that the de-
fence sought to build up as to Harry
Thaws mental strength at the time he
shot White
NEW YORK, April Alt was under
stood early this afternoon that the
Thaw lunacy commission is divided on
its report as to Thaw's sanity.
DR.. Putzel it was reported. had failed
to agree with the legal members in
considering Thaw sane. Justice Fitz-
gerald hoped to secure a unanimous
verdict The members Of the commits
sion evidently believed this was pos
sible II they were given a little longer
time for discussion. 1t was for this
purpose that recess until ? O'Clock
was taken.
Dr. Putzel Withdrew
shortly before noon DR.. Putzel with
drew from the council of the commits
sioners. He left the court house and
started towards his Office. The other
commissioners were still in session with
Justice Fitzgerald. DR.. Putzel, it was
reported has finally withdrawn from the
commission. He declined to discuss the
matter.
The Jury came in at 11.S0 O'Clock and
court convened. After filing into theil
places, the Thaw jury was excused
until 2 O'Clock this afternoon, owing &c
the fact that the insanity commission
has not yet completed its report.
The greatest excitement prevailed
about the court house this morning
when It became known that the lunacl
commission was closeted with Justice
Fitzgerald.
The commissioners were in session
until ? o'clock this morning This lee
10 a report that the members had beer
unable to reach a decision.
Hope was written in the faces OF Mrs
Thaw. Evelyn Thaw and the Countess
of Yarmouth when they came into th'
court room. All three looked well.

A Delightful Visit

a number of Tazewell young ladies
met at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Il.
II. Smoot, mt Tip Top one evening
last week, and from all accounts,
they had IA royal good time In the
party were the Misses Marie and
Lena Kelly, Jennie Witten, Eva
Cooley, Clara Litz, from this town,
Misses Tarter and Brown, from Wit
tens Mills. II must have been an
"Adamless Eden" rs no young men
seem TO have been present. There
was fine moon light drive and hay
ride, and other enjoyments for the
young ladies. The table groaned un-
der its weight of fine and dainty
dishes. The hOspitable host and host
ess spared no pains or expense TO sup
ply all that could be thought of OF
procured for the occasion. And what
was an unusual procedure and an
actual surprise come when the CON
ductor came around To collect fare,
the young ladies were Informed that
their fare had been paid TO Tazewell.
This topped the climax, and rounded
up completely what must have been
memorable visit.
This writer is thinking strongly OF
getting together few congenial
souls, and of making pilgrimage
/ To Tom Smoots.

Patching up the Street

The Council has been filling chug
holes in the streets this, and lastweek
from the corner down towards the de-
pot, trying TO get things i'm some
shape for the Fair. Enough rock has
been sunk in this piece of road with
i'm the last fifteen years TO make il "A
fine road, but, as IL has been done,
no road has been built worth any
thing. There Is talk of grading off
the street from the head of Main
street To the Presbyterian church. A
good amount of money was spent on
this street n few years ago TO raise il
"A thing that should never have
been done. Now, il seems necessary
to undo all this work. TO fill in
more VIII injure resident property
on that street, and probably result in
a suit or trouble. Street building, as
well rs road building, should be
petent engineer. This short piece of
street is one of the easiest i'm town TO
keep in good shape, and yet for a
year has been as bad rs any i'm town.
If properly graded the water would
drain naturally, and no such miser-
able otter slides and hog wal LOws. as
were there all this year, would be
seen. This street and the death trap
at the crossing this side the Presby-
terian church, should be overhauled.

benefit of the taxes which IL paws

thus only, can we have school

the town, and blessing To the people

towns which have not nearly so
much wealth, by the adoption OF

year may be obtained from the State
Funds for this purpose, and the
town will never feel the increase of
taxation.
