on the part Of the prisoner in August
and September. when DR.. Evans made
his examination. they are equally as
strong evidences OF insanity today
Thaw il was reported. has given
the district attorney another means Of
presenting a strong case as 20 his in
sanity before a lunaoy commission. His
letters to Banker Lyon, Of Pittsburg,
written since his incarceration in the
Tombs. Il is said. VIII prove very vail
uab'e to Jerome IN the nnacy hearing.
Thaw IN these letters, according TO
common report, speaks repeatedly Of
conspiracy on the part of tho ncws-
papers Of this city to manufacture evil
dence against him He charges that a
certain reporter. known only to him
by name because he Is on duty con-
stantly at the Tombs, is chief Of this
conspiracy. and that he enrolled the
local press into an organization to in
jure his case.
DR.. Evans cited the fact that he im-
agined a conspiracy existed on the part
of his former lawyers Black, olcott
Gruber and Bonynge, together with the
district attorney and medical experts,
conclusive Of his insanity Jerome
thinks his de uslon as TO a newspaper
conspiracy must have as much weight.
There are many things in these let
ters 90 Banker Lyon which would be
inadmissible IN Thaw's present trial.
But they would an be evidence before
"a lunacy commission.
Defense Will FIGHT
II is within the discretion OF the
court to appoint a lunacy commission.
when a man goes to trial IL is pre-
.sumod that he is sane and able 40
advise with his counsel. on that
ground the lawyers for the defense VIII
make the. stand against the appoint
ment OF any commission. They will
contend that Thaw Is sane now and
that he is thoroughly able TO advise
with them and TO look after his I'M
terost. Thaws lawycrs-Hartridge
Delmas, Peabody and O'Reily--had
conference today at which plans were
formed 20 fight the appointment Of a
commission. After It was over Mr.
Hartridge said;
I'VE are not afraid OF any application
for a commission. We are ready 10
fight Il and we feel certain that
commission viii never be appointed.
We are perfectly satisfied with the de-
fense that has been made and we arc
confident Of the acquittal OF Thaw."
Fears Mothers Testimony.
Thaw has urged his lawyers not to
call his mother as a witness, saying
that he feared the result Of the search
ing oross-eXamination by jerome. The
attorneys told him that the defense
had already announced It's intention 20
call Mrs. Thaw to the stand. and that
to withdraw her now would have
bad effect on their case.
The prisoner was assured that his
counsel did not fear the testimony Of
Mrs. Thaw. Her revelations. II was
stated. would merely make plain that
the conditions for an outbreak Of tenn
porary insanity, such as Is alleged to
have developed when he killed stan
ford White, lay fallow in his brain.
Thaw expressed no confidence that
his mothers testimony would serve
merely the purpose Of the defense and
not aid the District Attorney.

THAW CURSES
Ills YOUNG WIFE
Refuses to Allow Her TO Sit
Beside Him While Den
fist is at Work

NEW YORK, March Awhile tenn
porarily occupying a cell IN which he
was being treated by his dentist, Harry
r. Thaw refused absolutely to permit
his young wife 10 pass the door, and.
after a perfunctory greeting ordered
her away with a half stiled OATH
Hurt and dismayed, the girl was too
surprised for words. One Of the at
tendants, thinking to straighten out
the matter, which he misunderstood,
said.
IT'S all right. Mr.. Thaw. / guess
it won't matter IL she comes in here"
II don't want her TO come in: that's
an there is about it," nc returned per-
emptorily. Then. turning toward the
young woman, he went on, almost
roughly:
Il tell you ] don't want you in here.
Go away. Take a drive around the
Park or do something else" and then
turned away again with an oath on his
tongue.
Evelyn Thaw stood irresolute for a
moment and then, murmuring his
name, walked slowly away. Those
present were at loss for an explanation
Of the affair and the dentist went on
with his work in silence.
It was a few minutes after this that
Thaw rebuked a messenger boy for
staring at him. Whats the matter
with your" he said savagely. shaking
him by the shoulder. "Stop staring
at me-"
It has been observed for the last
two or three days the prisoner has
been extremely nervous. but the atti-
tude he assumed toward his wife
startled even those who have becom.
accustomed TO his eccentricities. There
were several witnesses present. and
their stories are practically the same.

NEW YORK. March 4.-stanford
White wrote a denial and a reputation
OF the accusations against him which
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw says she told
Harry Thaw in Paris the night he urg-
ed her TO marry him.

confdant OF Harry Ihaw and his wife.

penned by himself and is as follows
February %. 1904.
Dear Miss Simonton: I daily received
your letter, but as the matter you
sepak about IS one 50 entirely between
Evelyn and yourself. and about which
/ know absolutely nothing and as
have hardly seen Evelyn for the past
two months. / do not see how / can
be OF any service.
Although you have a perfect right
to ask for your photographs as Eve
lyn could rot be held responsible here
for what she did abroad. / hardly think
il would be wise for you TO make this
a condition before returning the things
Evelyn and Mrs. Nesbit left with YOU.
AS for the other matter you mention,
the story you brought back from Paris
was too erotes1ue'v ahgnri TO have
other than a natural death. and when
Evelyn returned ] put the whole thing
out Of my mind. / trust. therefore.
that you win not trouble yourself to
come down and make an explanation
which has become wholly unnecessary.
Yours truly. S. W.

woman, a farmers daughter, Monday

Western Maryland railroad, near Oldtown
averting a wreck and probably saving
human life and the destruction of the
train.
A landslide occurred in cut just be-

covered by the young woman about the
time she heard the rumble of the ap-
preaching train from Cumberland. Plung-
ing down the steep bank, she ran up the
track and, frantically waved her sunbon-

train was rushing at full speed, and wheu
Engineer McKelvey saw the woman's
signals he applied the emergency brakes
and stopped the train. Baltimore News.
