Once Mrs. Inaw was excused for an
hour while Lawyer Frederick Longfel-
low was sworn to fix the date of GER
Thaw subsequent to the revelations
Miss Nesbt had made to him in Paris.
The letters. which eventually were
offered in evidence after much object
ing by Mr.. Jerome and food of ar
gument by opposing counsel, are re-
garded as corroborative of Mrs.
Thaw's testimony, which she often
declared, in response to objection Of
fered from time to time by the district
attorney, was Il repetition of the rea-
sons she had given Thaw for refusing
to become his wife. They also were
offered as tending to show the state
of mind of the defendant just after he
had heard from her own lips the story
of the girl he loved and her relations
with the man it is claimed he killed as
Il result Of insanity inherited in part
and induced by circumstances.
The letters were written by Thaw
to Mr.. Longfellow as his attorney.
They told of his coming marriage with
Miss Nesbit and the row they want
to raise Disconnected and jerky,
jumping from subject to subject, they
nevertheless breathe the love he bore
the girl, and he wanted among other
things that provision should be made
that in the event of his death all his
property should go to her. The letters
constantly refer to ''that blackguard
who. poisoned her as a girl and say
that her name was falsely connected
with two others besides that black
guard"
The girl paid many tributes to her
husband, to save whose life she braved
all.

Mrs. Thaw Continues Story
During her second days examination
Mrs. Thaw testified to the following
strong points for the defense:
That Stanford White had attempted
to resume his attentions to her after
her marriage TO Thaw
That she had repulsed him in every
way and had told her husband of the
situation
That Thaw acted like q madman
when informed Stanford White had
tried to address her.
That Thaw had told her that other
girls had been victims of Mr. White
Dolphin NJ Delmhs stated that there
was documentary evidence to show
that Thaw believed his allegation
against the architect to be true.
District Attorney Jerome sent thrill
of excitement through the courtroom
by vigorously protesting against this
defamation of the dead"
Mrs. Thaw on Stand Again.
In the third days examination of
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, District Attorney
Jerome cut short her story of the cir
cumstances that led her husband, Har-
ry Kendall Thaw, to kill Stanford
White
Directing successfully to nearly ev-
cry question asked the young wife by
Dolphin NJ Delmas, Mr.. Jerome finally
compelled the defense to withdraw the
witness for the time and fall back
upon its corps of insanity experts.
In beating a retreat Mr.. Delmas pro
tested vehemently at the exclusion of
the testimony he sought from Mrs.
Thaw and declared he would offer this
evidence again after showing Thaw
was insane at the time he shot White.
TO this end Mr. Delmas called DR..
Charles G. Wagner, superintendent of
the State Asylum For the Insane at
Binghamton, n. Y, DR. Wagner, quail
flying as an expert, said he visited
Thaw six times between August and

VIII wake use OF ANY OeTenSe.
Several witnesses have testified that
IN their opinion the prisoner was sir
rational at the time he took the life
of Stanford White, and one had de-
clared upon the stand that he had
heard Mr.. White threaten to kill.
'AlI the defenses which are proper
under the laws of this state to a plea
of not guilty we shall avail ourselves
OF, as counsel for the defense stated in
the opening address," declared Lawyer
Delmas in response to a demand by
the district attorney for a clear state
ment as to whether self defense would
be an issue.
Thomas McCaleb. California friend
of both Thaw and his wife, was an i'm
portant witness. McCaleb said that he
and Evelyn Thaw were standing near
the elevator on the Madison Square
Garden roof waiting for Thaw when
he shot White.
With positive assertion the witness
also said that Thaw said in reply to
his wife's cry, "Oh, Harry, why did
you do it?" the words. 81 saved your
life. dear" and kissed her.
This corroborated previous testimony
by other witnesses, tending to show
that Thaw was laboring under de
fusion that his wife's life was in dan
ger when he shot Mr. White
Hardly less interesting than Mr.. Nc
Caleb's graphic recital was the story
of Benjamin Bowman, who had told of
a visit on Christmas eve. 1908, of Mr.

New Law Against Gun Toting,


"Gun toiing" has been placed
for some time under the ban in
New Mexico and the law enacted
by the recent Territorial legisla-
ture will doubtless serve to make
it more unpopular than ever.
Section Is, Chapter SO. of The
Session Laws ofl907, which refers
to The carrying Of deadly weapons,
makes it an offense punishable by
both fine aud imprisonment. Tho
statute is as follows:
ANY person who will carry
deadly weapon, either concealed
or otherwise In or about the settle
ment OF this Territory, except 1t
be in his or her residence, or on
his or her landed estate, if intoxi-
eating liquois are mol sold on any
such premises, or in the lawful de-
fense OF his or her person, family
or property, the same being then
and there threatened with danger,
or except such carrying be done
with legal authority, upon convic-
tion thereof shall be punished by
a fine Of not less than fifty dollars
nor more than three hundred dol
lars or hy imprisonment for .
period of not less than sixty days
or more than six months, or both
such fine and imprisonment in the
discretion of the court; and any
person violating the provisions of
this section may be arrested with
out warrant by any peace officer,
and justice of the peace may try
offenses defined in this section,
and Gssess fines Of not more than
one hundred dollars or imprison-
ment of not more than three
months in the county Jail, or both,

DIVISION is CHANGED.
Fifty Miles Is Chopped Off West End
of Albuquerque Division.


Seligman, Ariz., Nov. 19.-The AL
buquerque division of the Santa Fe
coast lines which now extends from
Albuquerque, N. M, to Seligman. Ariz..
distance of 428.S miles, will be
shortened sos miles between Febru-
airy 28, 1908, and June 80, 1908, in
compliance with the federal law that
railroad shall not keep an employe
on duty more than sixteen hours a
day.
While the change will create a new
division between Williams and King
man, Ariz., and also lessen the Arizona
division, it will hit hard at the little
town of Seligman, which now has a
population of 500 people.
The change will mean a repetition of
the change some time ago when the
Albuquerque division which then ran
to Peach Springs was shortened 81
miles, leaving Peach Springs with only
siding, after it had secured nearly
400 people.
The change will mean a repetition
Peach Springs and Kingman Ariz
which will secure the division point
for the Arizona and the new DIVISION
which has to date not been named.
Already the property owners in Sc
l1gman are dfsposing of their holdings
and moving westward, settling in va
rious towns between Peach Springs
and kfngmanx5. hoping that the new
town which the Santa Fe is to build
will be located near their homes
Z The creation of the new division
will also materially lessen the juris-
diction of E. j. Gibson, superintendent
of the Albuquerque division, who now
also has the Grand Canyon railway to
