Opinion FaVOrS

NEW YORK. Feb. l6.-While there are

largely TO the successful efforts Of the
defeasa on Thursday In having admit

the dcfcnse's insanity experts.
As shown by the press comments. the

people the country over. sentiment is
lined up Oh Thaw's side. The expression
that the law is on Stanford White"
and that "Thaw did what any man
with red blood in his veins would nave
done" are heard not only in the Ten
derloin, but in ali parts Of the country
yes and even in Europe. Despite this
il was realized that some show Of a
technical defense under the statutes
was necessary to an acquittal. With
prop after prop knocked from under the
defense by the barring OF the defenses

for several days If the structure Of this
technical defense could be reared.
II developed today that new line Of
evidence tending 10 show Justification

HEAD OF KAISER

BERLIN, Feb. l6.-In a statement
made today. outlining the policy of the
German government following its vic
tory in the recent elections. Prince Won
Buelow, the chancellor. sets at rest the
fears which have been held in other
EurOpeaN countries that. flushed by this
success, N.aiser Wilhelm might be dis
posed 20 NEEDLE unpleasantly in world
politics.
Today's statement is the first an
nOuncement Of the chancellor since the
elections. and the official announcement
Of Germany's intention has been eagerly
awaited both by that nation and the
world at large. The chancellor makes
IL very plain that the election result has
not swollen the heads" Of Kaiser VII

ternatLonal menace and that the peace
OF the world IS not threatened by their

In his statement Prince Won Ruelow

imperial chancellor. During his whole
period in office he has shown By word

DR.. Mcclure also has watched Thaw
in his daily chats with his mother and

prisoner as shown by his words and
acts and a determination TO have his

While treating Thaw for various slight
ailments the doctor has had long talks
with him and IS prepared to state that
he spoke intelllgently and logically upon

a confusion Of ideas or decisions.
