THAW'S PLEA INSANITY
Martin w. Littleton, Counsel,
Determined on Course.
IN CONFERENCE WITH JEROME
LAWYER for Defense and District At
torney Agree to Ask Court to
Open Lunasy Testimony.

New York, Nov. l4.--Martin W. Lat
tAeton, counsel for Harry x. Thaw,
mad long talk yesterday afternoon
With District Attorney Jerome about
Thaw's second trial. Mr.. littleton
said after the conference which lasted
an hour, that they had "gossiped
most OF the time.
The defense at the second trial Will
be insanity, and one Of the things dis
cussed was the ways and means OF
procuring the testimony taken by the
lunacv commission at the first trial.
which Justice Fitzgerald ordered seal
ed Mr.. Littleton wants to see the
testimony and Mr.. Jerome would IKE
to see It. They agreed that they
would make joint application 70 the
supreme court for it.
One thing practically settled was
that the second trial, which has oeeh
SCI for December :. before Justice
bowling. IN the supreme court, rim
Sual branch, would be postponed, prob
ably for a month or more.
Mr.. Littleton is determined to make
a straight insanity defense for Inaw.
There has been some talk that the
Thaw family was not ayerse TO nav
ing commission appointed that
would hear evidence regarding Thaw's
mental condition.
Franc of Mind Changed.
Mr.. Litt,eton said he knew nothing
about such proposition. but there Is
good ground for the belief that Tnaw,
his family, and his lawyers are not
in the same frame of mind that they
were in at che first trial.
The news from Pittsburg that MISS
Ida Vera Simonton, who went ABROAD
To bring Mrs. J. C. Holman back to
this country, would come here to tes-
tify against Harry Thaw does not
seem TO perturb the defense.
Miss Simonton's Story.
Mr.. Litt.eton said that Miss simon
TONS testimony, as reported to him,
appeared 70 be nothing more than
collection of stories current about the
doing Of Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit
abroad, and would not have much
bearing on the case. With. insanity
as the defense. il is said that the
womans testimony concerning Thaw's
!. actions and eccentricities will De OF
about as much value to the defense as
TO the prosecution.

wish. She would pay more attention to what you,
as an enlightened American, would tell her than
anything could say. Viii you do it,?
"Of course anything. that could do for her
should be only too glad to-"
'Chrysanthy holds new ideas, madame went on
hurriedly, she a group of people coming
near her - She believes in the emancipation of
classes. She thinks that we are narrow and provn-
cial-and heaven knows that is true! But what
can do here? We can't overturn things as you
have done. If Chrysanthy follows out her ideas,
she will become the victim of them; and l do not
wish to see her unhappy. Do you know" she whis-
pered with horror, she wishes to marry out of her
class! Can't you tell her that even though in Amer
lea anybody marries anybody, here it would only
lead to misery?"
The other guests were too near for more, and
Madame Mavrocorthato rose and joined their talk
Chrysanthy was in the group, and Weir eagerly
turned to her.
Isn't it time for my dance YETI he asked.
DO you wish to dance with me for my own saAe!"
she asked, with touch of coquetry.
The American laughed, having no response ready
that would be both plausible and gallant
A servant who had been lowering around VEN
tured at last to speak to Chrysanthy. Mile. Xeny
will not go to sleep till she has spoken to you" she
said. Miss Katy has tried everything.
Poor little Xeny! Will you excuse me for few
minutes, Mr.. Weir, till l go to see what is the
matter? l shall be back in a minute
Chrysanthy ran away to her y'oungest sister, and
Weir waited. The minutes passed, and then
a half hour, and still Chrysanthy did not return.

He began to be restless, and walked
all over the garden to see if she might
not have come back and be in some
other part of the grounds. At length,
just as he was about to ask Mada. ne
Mavrocorthato what could have be-
come of her daughter, the maid who
had brought Xeny's message to
Chrysanthy came to him and gave
him a scrap of paper, which was
folded small.
"Mademoiselle Chrysanthy told
me to give you this" she said.
Weir walked to a solitary Chinese
lantern and rnfolded the paper.
1t read:
1 cannot see you again tonight.
Please do not ask anyone about me.
Tomorrow morning wait in your hotel
Until you see a little boat pass. with
two little flags at the PROV. 1t is her
boat. Walk along the quay by it until
it stops and a slave woman gets out.
Go in front of her and drop your letter.
She will pick it up and return it to yor-
only she will give you hers and keep
yours.
Disappointed as Weir was not
to learn more this night, he smiled
at the thought that no country
ever devised a perfect system of
guarding its women without also
developing methods for outwitting
the perfect system. He went away
soon afterward, and roamed about
the town, wondering which of the
white marble palaces contained his
hanum. Of sleep he had no desire
this night.

easy to concoct love letter of etravagant protesta
tons Yet now he feared almost more to say too much
than to say too little. Not for the world would he
have affrighted her. She had asked for his help;
she had not asked him to make love to her humility
develops quickly in a true lover) Of he
would make love to her, would make her love him:
yet that should not be when he was lost in mist
of white paper, but when he could guide his
by the stars of her eyes.
What a saphead must be to propose by
letterl' he reflected, while he scrubbed amless
"dears" and dearests" on the paper his
and Mrs. " before it. Its just inviting girl to
throw you down. if she doesn't particularly care; and
if she does-wel1-thnk what you miss!" he apostro-
phized the moon, which we'll knew what he had missed
Weir did not go to bed at all, and in the
morning, hours before there was any chance of the
boats coming he took his place at of the little
tables the waters edge in front of the cafe. He
ate his breakfast with both eyes roaming over the
Bosporus and then 1ounged in his seat, apparently
unable to tear himself away from the view. Not
until eleven o'clock, however, did he the little
ka7ck. He rose and walked along the road, keeping
nearly abreast of the boat. After awhile it stopped
of the places where the steps, cut in the rock
descend to the waters edge. Weir was there nearly
at the same time, and strobe ahead of the slave
woman. He dropped his letter; she stopped for it,
and dropped one herself She picked them both
up and hurrying after Weir handed one to him.
He thanked her, walked to the next landing place,
signaled an empty ka7ek and jumped in. He would
not wait longer before reading the letter.
He tore open the unaddressed envelop and stared

of success IN winning this girl. At times before,
although he was not of nature that bored itself
easily, he had longed for the struggles that men
encounter who have their way to make in the
world To-day he blessed the bank account, and
the speedy yacht and the ability to provide for the
happiness of his bride, when she should be his.
Thus dreaming and wandering amlessy about
till the time should arrive for another dance with
Chrysanthy, he passed near Madame Mavrocorthato,
and she called to him.
Mr.. Stephen Weir, are you having such
pleasant time the smile your face indicates"
Il don't believe can look so happy as feel"
he answered, with grin that he himself felt to be
wide to yacuity.
Come and sit down here beside me- l am little
tired, and l know you well enough not to have to
pretend How do you like Chrysanthy?"
Miss Chrysanthy is simply great!" he answered
with enthusiasm.
The mother was not entirely pleased with the
answer; it too frankly enthusiastic. She sighed,
and then impulse to confde in this big American
who looked at the world from his fresh, new world
point of view, took possession of her.
"Chrysanthy looks very frail and girlish, does
she not? But Monsieur Weir, she has will
and determination that giving great deal
of trouble. She has been out whole season now,
and is not even engaged. l did not have the
slightest trouble in marrying the two first girls.
1t is not that they have very large dot; but
they are all very pretty, she ended with pardon
able pride
Like mother, like daughter Weir murmured.
But you can help me with Chrysanthy if you

CHAPTER VIII.
The Little Boat With the
Two Flags

TT was morning before Weir fin
ished the letter he was to let fall
- in front of the slave. The full
moon sank in the west and the dawn
came up in the east while he sat
and thought for words to write to
her. He had become metamor-
phosed enough by the life about him
to be eager to marry a girl he had
seen once, whose voice he had never
heard, and whose name he did not
know; but when it came to writing
to her he became suddenly the re-
strained Anglo-Saxon again.
You asked for my help. If there is any,
thing in my power, will do it. If be-
yond my power, will try it. If / fail
you in any way, may my punishment
be nothing less than never to see you
again!
This was what he wrote at last,
and it seemed to him pitifully in
adequate. If he had not been so
much IN earnest If would have been

how l am to meet herI You surely
did not bring me here only to tan
talize me? You must know about
our meeting-or rather the few Sec
onds during which our carriages
stood side by side"
All the time that he was speaking

the more densely populated part OF
the garden. nv.
Monsieur Weir. do you not hear
the music starting up? No, of
course, you don't know tina; there
is any music in the world-only
paintings. But have had to listen
to it; for my next dance is promised
TO Monsieur DuFonds--and there he
comes looking for me"
She deserted the American for the
Frenchman with exasperating COM
n1onplaceness of manner, as if this
was merely the ordinary changing of
partners. AS she went away she
gave a friendly little nod over
her shoulder to Weir. Il should
be delighted to dance with you
again after awhile" she said, as if
answering him.
Weir wandered about the grounds
n kind of trance. He had to
assure himself time after time that
he had not fallen asleep in his room
in the Hotel Petala and was not
dreaming that he had gone to the
garden party of the Mavrocorthatos',
instead of actually being there. Now
he was surely on the direct road to
meeting this Turkish girl who had
become the paramount object in life
to him. Chrysanthy might tease a
little, and she herself would have
to be wooed; but what lover would
think of such wooing except with
eagerness? He cast mental glance
at the ordinary wooings of ordinary
girls whom one could meet any day,
and pitied the lovers that were re-
stricted to such love making. For
the first time in his life he was really
and hurnbly grateful for his great
wealth, which would enable him to
commend all the material clements
