Philadelphia q Reading, and New
Jersey Central railroad stock had
passed under the Hartman control,
which gained a wide circulation this

turn in Reading stock.
According to the report, the big

ceruing Thaw's will and codicil.
DR.. Wagner believed that when

life his mind was clouded, and he
did not have as clear an idea of such
matters as a man who is wholly sane,

ciate that the taking of human life
was crime.
