LAWSON TO RIDE IN BICYCLE RACE.
Kramer's Rival to Take Part in Six-Day
Grind at the Garden.

liver Lawson is to ride in the sx-day bicycle
race which starts at Madison Square Garden next
Sunday at midnight The entry of Frank Kramer's
keenest rival for the sprnting championship OF
America will be big surprise to the cycle racing
world For the last couple OF years efforts have
been made to get Lawson to take part in the race
as he is not only a phenomenal sprlnter, but is
q strong sturdy rider, with exceptional staying
powers. He is to team up with Urban Mcdonald
who in the last in Salt Lake City rode in
splendid form. This team promises to be of
the most formidable in the big contest, and will
undoubtedly give the other star teams a hard fight
for first honOrs.
Lawson has been training for long time with
the idea of entering the sx-day grind.
Work will start the big track In the
Garden tomorrow night. One hundred detectives
will police the Garden day and night.

the crime. This applies with equal

Harry X. Thaw from the death chair
Strait murdered his wife in Oil City
on September 10. 1907, having twice
shot his wife on one OF the principal
streets in daylight. and having fred
the second shot as she, with hands up
raised implored him not to shoot
again.
Besides having some features OF the
Harry X Thaw trial. the case was
remarkable in that the defense was
willing that the accused should be
convicted OF second degree murder,
his attorneys seeking only to save
his life. Straits defense was that he
yielded to drink when he learned from
his sister that his wife had been UNI
faithful during his absence.
The court would not permit the
prosecution to attempt to show that
these accusations were true, holding
that It made no difference whether
they were true or untrue. as long as
Strait believed them. After getting
drunk Strait met his wife on the
street and shot her twice, killing her.
On the stand he said the impulse TO
shoot was uncomfortable; he lost his
reason entirely and did not recover II
until he saw his wife fall to the side
walk.
