SWEAR 'THAWW ASSANG
States Expert Says He Knew Kill
of White Was Wrong.
QUESTION $4,000 WORDS LONG

Abe Hunmel Declares Evelyn Told
Him She Informed Thaw in Paris
That Stanford White Did Not Drug
and Betray Her.
Now York, March l5.-Answering
precisely the same hypothetical ques-
ton in response to which the alienists
OF the defense declared that Harry X
Thaw was suffering from an unsound
mind and did not know the nature or
quality OF his act when he shot and
killed Stanford White. DR.. Austin
Flint. the first expert .22lled by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome ~ rebuttal de-
clared ii to be his opinion that Thaw
positively did know the nature and
quality of his act and knew that the
act was wrong. When court adjourn
ed for the day Mr.. Delmas had not be-
gun his cross examination OF Or. Flint,
who is the first Of six alienists to be
called by Mr. Jerome.
Alter repeating to DR.. Flint the
same question as Mr.. Delmas put to
the experts for the defense and having
him declare that Thaw was sane on
the assumption OF the facts stated
therein Mr.. Jerome had read to the
witness the prosecutions hypothet-
ical question, which contained some
$4,000 words and which required one
hour and is minutes in the reading
DR.. Flint again said without Qualilica-
ton that Thaw knew his act was
wrong and is therefore liable for the
murder in the first degree under the
statutes of the state of New York.
Mr. Delmas indicated that he would
cross examine each expert searching
" Mr.. JCrome's sanguine prophecy
that the taking OF testimony would be
concluded soon has been abandoned
and those concerned in the Gaze again
look to April as the earliest moment
of closing the long drawn out trial.
Abraham Hummel was on the stand
again and before Mr. Delmas could
object to a question put TO him by Mr.
Jerome the witness had got into the
record the statement that Evelyn Mes
bit had told him that she had inform
ed fairy Thaw in Paris in 1908 that
Stanford White positively had not
drugged or betrayed her NJ. Delmas
at first moved 10 have the question and
answer stricken from the record. but
az the district attorney seemed about
to consent to this plea the counsel for
the defense insisted that the answer
stand
Hummers further testimony was
halted until Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
again takes the stand TO testify as to
whether or not Hummel was acting as
her attorney when she made the state
ments to him which were afterwards
embodied in an affidavit
Both Mr.. Jerome and Mr.. Deimas
were irritable and had frequent
clashes
II was reported that District Attor-
ney Jerome may be called to the wit
ness stand in sur-rebuttal by the de
tense. The purpose. 1t was said, was
to question Mr.. Jerome as to certain
actions against Abraham HummeL
This move was taken as a reason ior
the defense allowing much of the Hum
mel testimony TO stand.

There is apparently very little oppo-
sition to the resolution requesting
the supervisors to petition the Judge
To order an election, and as the meet
ing seems to have been representa-
t ve one we have no doubt that the
b nard will comply with the request
a ID that Judge Mason will just order
an election. What the result OF such
an eection would be we have no
means of telling, but Judging from
the road meeting and the vote taken
there. we are confident that the peo-
pie of Spotsylvania are aroused and
that once given a chance to vote
they will return IL splendid majority
in favor of showing the world that
the people OF old Spotsylvania are
not going to stand still any longer,
but on the contrary are going TO
take the longest step forward ever
before hazarded by county in this
section Of Virginia. A portion OF
Orange county, Madison district,
has acted and Mr.. Wilson stated
that FIVE or six counties in other
parts of the State had voted bond
issues. Spotsylvania will, we believe,
blaze the way for this section and
once she does so Others will follow.
We feel very hopeful about the situa-
ton and we look for success.

INCREASED LEVY DUE To STATE TAXES

BY action of the county court this
afternoon the tax levy for the year
1907 was placed at % mills, and the
same is made up as follows: state
and county. 13 2-5 mills; county
schools, 4 mills; roads and bridges,
u mills INDECENT soldiers, 1-SO mill;
school libraries, Ills mill.
The total levy for this year is two
mills higher than that of 1906. How
ever, the members of the court de-
clare the increased levy is due wholly
to the increased state taxes. This year
the amount due the state from UNA
tilla county will be $50,225, whereas
last year but 100000 was required.
In consequence Of this increase the
additional Two mills was necessary.
