Dr.. Austin Flint Says The Slayer
Of Stanford White Knew
Enormity Of Crime.
JEROME GAINS STRONG POINT
Caught DeImas Mapping and Secured
a Bit of Important Evidence Out
of HummeI Before Defense's Lead.
Ing Lawyer Could object-Lawyers
Had Many Clashes During Day.
(By Associate Press.)

NEW YORK, March 14.-Answer-
ing precisely the same hypothetical
question in response to which the
altenlsts of the defense declared that
Harry K. 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
called by District Attorney Jerome in
rebuttal, declared it 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 adjourned for today, Mr.. Del
mas had not begun his cross exami.
nation of Dr. Flint, who is the first
OF six alienists to be called by Mr.
Jerome.
After repeating to DR.. Flint, the
same question which 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, MIR. Jerome read the
hypothetical question which contain.
ed some $4,000 words and required
one hour and 10 minutes in the read.
ing DR.. Flint again said without
qualification that Thaw knew his act
was wrong and is therefore liable for
murder in the first degree under the
statutes of the State of New York.
MIR. Delmas indicated that he would
cross examine each expert searching.
ly. Mr.. Jerome's sanguine prophecy
that the taking of testimony would
be concluded by tomorrow night had
been abandoned and those concerned
in the case again look to April 1st
as the earliest possible moment of the
closing.
Jerome Scores Point.
Abraham Hummel was on the stand
again today and before Mr.. Delmas
could object to question put to him
by Mr.. Jerome, the prosecution had
got into the record the statement
that Evelyn Nesbit told him that she
told Harry Thaw in Paris in 1903
that Stanford White positively had
not drugged or betrayed her. Mr..
Delmas moved to have the uestion
and answer stricken from the record.
but as the District Attorney seemed
unwilling to consent to the plea, Mi.
Delmas consented to let the answer
stand. Hummel's further testimony
was halted until Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Ihaw again takes the stand to testi.
fy as to whether Hummel was act.

the statements to him which were
afterwards embodied in an affidavit.
Both Mr.. Jerome and Mr.. Delmas
were frascibie today and had frequent
clashes. 1t was reported tonight that

ed to the witness stand in surrebut-

was said, was to question Mr.. Je-
rome as to certain actions against
Abraham Hummel, who was witness
To-Day This move was taken as a
reason for the defense allowing much
OF the Hummel testimony to stand to-
day.

ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER COUNTRY
Northern Capitalist Is Amazed at
This Section.
Does Not Hesitate to Say that within
Five Years this Valley Wifi Produce
Wealth Equal to Entire PrOduc-
ton of CoIoradO's Mines.

G. R. Sims of New YORK was an
Interesting visitor at THE HERALD
Office this afternoon. Mr.. Sims IS
interested with E. H. Bracket,
who has been here for several
months. They represent extern
sive capital and will engage in
some important development enter
prises in the Brownsville country
this fab.
Mr.. Sims has been here several
days and has been surveying the
possibilities of this truly wonder
full country from the hurricane
deck of a Texas pony. To say that
he is enthusiastic about its posi-
biIities is putting it mildly
Il do not hesitate to say, he
remarked to a HERALD reporter,
that within the next FIVE years
this strip of the Rio Grande valley
from Brownsville to Hidalgo will
produce as much wealth as has
ever been dag out Of the mines of
Colorado. "
Mr.. Sims came here with E. <.
Palmer, the general eastern passen-
ger agent of the Rock Island Frisco
system, and they have been seeing
the country together, in company
with Mr.. Bracket.
Both of them had been reading
of the wonders of the Brownsville
country for months. and both had
come down in show me" spirit,
choosing the month of July that
they might see the country at its
worst" Like Mr.. Sims, Mr..
Palmer has also been simply amaz-
ed at what he has seen and learned,
and both are firmly convinced that
this section has magnificent pros
poets for the near future, Its posi-
bilities being simply immense.
Mr.. Sims will return to New
York in a few days, but expects to
return in the fall, when he, with
his associates, will do their part
towards helping this country to
realize some of the glowing pre-
dictions made for it.

THAT ANTEPASS Law.

The special committee OF the
Texas Press Association appointed
TO inquire into the new arti-pass
law in relation to the right of the
railroad companies and newspapers
TO exchange transportation for adj
vertising space, has advised the
press fraternity to observe the law
as if there were no question as to
its constitutionality. This does not,
however, imply that the committee
has decided that the provision of
the law prohibiting such exchange
is constitutional, but merely that
pending a final decision, that may
be made only by a test in the
courts, the newspapers should con-
form to the law.
There is a difference of opinion,
the committee states, as to the
power of the new law to set aside
contracts already made between
railroads and newspapers, or to
prevent the completion of such
contracts as are already partially
completed. THE HERALD doubts
the validity of a law which pre-
tends to invalidate bona fde con-
tracts entered into before the law
Was passed.
But, whether the new law is so
far-reaching as that, it does not
seem possible that anyone
could contend that the new law
would authorize a railroad to re-
call mileage already issued in pay
ment for advertising space, when
the publisher had carried out his
contract, but had not yet used the
transportation issued to him.

WHY SO WEAK?
Kidney Troubles May be Sapping
Your Life Away. Brownsville People
Have Learned This Fact


When a healthy man or woman
begins to run down without ap-
parent cause, becomes weak, Ian
guild, depressed, suffers backache,
headache, dizzy spells and urinary
disorders, look to the kidneys for
the cause of it all. Keep the kid
ueys well and they will keep you
well. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys and keep them well.
J-P. Anderson, carpenter, liv-
ing in the southern part of
Corpus Christi, Texas, says:
MY Kidneys have given me more
or less trouble for the past two
wears. A sharp twinge of pain at
times, darting through my back,
ioins and the secretions were too
frequent and caused much annoy
.zuce, especially in the winter. My
son saw Doan's Kidney Pills ad-
vertised and brought home box.
I used them and obtained great
benefit. The action of the kidneys
was corrected and my back has
given me no trouble since. I can
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
z;th pleasure. +"

Brownsville people. Call at J. L.

Bonds Soon Due.

About $113,000,000 United
States bonds mature July l and
there is much speculation as to
whether they will be paid off
with funds now in the treasury
or whether the government funds
now on deposit with banks
(about $15O,OOO, OOO) will be thus
used, or whether the payment
will be made in part each way
One other method is also sug-
gested: To refund all or part oil
these maturing bonds into two
per cent bonds. While there is
now large surplus in the treas
ury it would be helpful if strin-
gency arises, and large sum viii
be required to build the Panama
canal. The bonds of our govern
ment now bear a lower rate OF in
terest than those of any Other
country in the world. Consider
able interest attaches to the un
announced policy of George B
Cortelyou, now secretary of thu
treasury, in reference to these
maturing bonds.
