SWEEPING VICTORY FOR THAw
Commission Decides for Him on Ev-
cry Material Point.

The news of the commissions unani-
nous verdict as to his present sanity
was carried to Thaw in the prisoners
pen, he not having been present in
court. He expressed satisfaction. but
not surprise. There has never been a
time since the commission was APP
pointed that the defendant has not
been wholly confident of a favorable
decision. He declared that he felt es-
pecially lucky because yesterday was
the second anniversary of his marriage
The decision came during the after
noon session of the court, and was
unanimous, in spite of reports of a
split in the commission. Before the
storm of the district attorneys protest
broke Justice Fitzgerald had handed
to him and to Hartridge, of counsel
for the defense, carbon copies of the
commissions full report. 1t was from
the defendants counsel table that the
nature of the decision first became
known. Hartridge rushed over and
whispered to Mrs. Thaw and Mrs. Har
ry Thaw, and then sent a messenger
hurriedly to the defendant with the
! tidings.
When the report finally fell into the
| possession of the newspaper men it
was seen to be q most sweeping vic
| tory for Thaw. 1t confirmed the re-
! ports of the excellent showing he had
! made before the commission in both
| his mental and physical tests, and also
/ indicated that the only expert testi-
! mony which the commission had TAX
| en- into consideration was that of the
! physicians who had had an opportuni-
" to examine Thaw and talk with him
almost daily during tn trial. The tes-
timony of the other experts who an
swered from hypothetical bases was
declared by the commission to be IRE
concilable.
The most significant paragraph in
the report reads: ''The direct oral and
| physical examination of the defendant
by the commissioners themselves dis
closed no insanity in the defendant at
/ the present time" With reference to
the suggestions Thaw made to Delmas
for his summing up speech, which the

city and that San Francisco today rep
resented complete breakdown OF
American institutions.

so religiously neglected during the
past fifty years as we have" said he.
I'VE are reaping as we have sown."
DR.. Thomas asserted that the bad
conditions could not be laid entirely
at the door of San Francisco.
THE blame rests with Christian
America for neglecting her as a field
for home missionary work. While the
city increased in population 100000 in
a quarter of a century, the churches
did not increase a member"

DECIDE ANATOMICAL QUESTION.
A jury in Judge James E. Goodrich g
division of the circuit court, Kansas
City, Mo-, few days ago decided that
Mrs. Annie Kincaid's coccyx was worth
$50. She thought it worth $4,000, and
had brought suit for that amount
against Augustus Lafayeth, a con-
tractor, because she had fallen and
broken her coccyx on pair of stone
stairs which he had built in front Of
her house at 1927 Michigan avenue.
She said that defect in the construc-
ton of the steps caused her fall.
There has been a dispute among the
medical profession for many years as
to the value of the coccyx to the, hu
man frame. Many books on physiology
have taught that the coccyx, like the
vermiform appendix, is merely a sur
vival of the simiadaean period of hui
man development, and is, for practical
human purposes, worthless. So far as
is known no jury has ever before pass
ed upon the value of that portion of
the vertebrate.
This particular jury did not go about
the matter hastily. II sat and heard
evidence in the case for four days in
succession. Several attorneys were
employed to expound the law and the
value of the coccyx. The coecyx is
the last joint in the human vertebrae.
