members of the election board at
Mountain View had expressed a desire
to be questioned and this may be done

Following the taking of testimony,
Judge Welch and the attorneys made
a visit of inspection to the basement
of the courthouse and to the County
Clerks Office. Attorney Richards
placed in evidence one of the voting
booths. 1t was discovered that the
stands upon which the ballots were
placed while the voting took place
were but sixteen inches wide, consist
ing of two boards loosely put together,
The ballots were about two and half
feet wide. The most important dis
coyery was that a great many crosses
had been stamped upon the boards. 1t
was evident that voters had tested the
stamps before marking the ballots.
This explains the ink stains on the
backs of the ballots, the finding of
which had been regarded as of great

Thaw Hard Hit by New
Witness for State
Brother in Law Of White Relates
Conversation With Defendant

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE end OF
the Thaw trial at last seems to be in
sight. Tentative plans for the final
stages Of the trial We're agreed upon
today by opposing counsel. even TO the
detail OF slIotting the time for the sum-
ming up.
District Attorney Jerome has burned
behind him all bridges leading TO
lunacy commission and is irrevocably
pointing his course 20 proving that
Thsw was sane when he shot Stanford
White. and that. being sane, his crime
constituted murder in the first degree
within ten days or two weeks the case
should be in the jury's hands.
2 Jerome played probably the strong
4 est card he holds-evidence which came
10 his knowledge but a few days ago,
and which undoubtedly caused him to
abandon the idea of trying 10 send
Whites slayer TO a madhouse and 10 try
} for q stright-out conviction under the
! criminal statutes.
The evidence came from Mrs. Stan
ford Whites brother. James Clinch
Smith who told q remarkably clear,
suecinct story OF the events at Msdi-
son Square Garden the night White
was killed and of long conversation
he had with Thaw just before the
shooting
The Thaws sat for some time with
Smith during the first Of the perform
ance Of Nam 'selle Champagne" and
4 discussed with him a variety Of topics

iany sane man would talk. Smith gave
,the conversation in detail. emitting

who was so sooh to be a victim Of his
pistol Thaw discussed the play. Wall
street. common occurrences and bux-
ON brunette Thsw was anxious TO have
smith meet. Thaw said he and his
wife were going abroad later in the
summer There was nothing anywhere
in the repeated conversation OF Thaw's $
intent TO infiict bodily harm upon any
one.
smith did say. however. that Thaw.
not having a reserved seat. roamed
about the Garden and continually
looked i'm the direction OF the spot
where he subsequently, killed White.
DELMAs SHOWS FIGHT
Attorney Delmas. for the defense,
bitterly fought the introduction Of this
testimony for nearly two hours today
renewing his argument begun yester-
day afternoon. lie declared Smith was
properly q witness in chief and should
not be allowed to testify in rebuttal
Jerome replied that he had known
only for a few days the real value OF
Smiths testimOuy-the conversation
with ThaW-and he appealed to the
discretion of the court TO allow the
testimony TO go in.
Justice Fitzgerald held that in the
interest OF justice, the jury was en-
titled 10 all the facts. IL was one Of
the most serious blows the Judge has
dealt the defense since the trial began.
There was another policeman on the
stand today who saw Thaw the night
Of the tragedy. and who declared the
defendant at that time acted in a ra-
rional manner
Jerome also summoned 10 the stand
Dr. Carlton Flint. the physician to
whom Evelyn Nesbit is said to have
gone with Jack" Barrymore, the actor.
The San Francisco call., 1907-03-13

Delmas objected and DR.. Flint was not
allowed to testify.
IL was said later that Or. Flint had
been served with a new subpena-by
the defense-and that he will be called
In sur-rebuttal to answer the questions
he was not permitted TO answer today.
AS the last witness of the day the
District Attorney called Rudolph Eek
myer, the photographer who took the
pictures of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw which
have been introduced in evidence. The
photographer was employed by Stan
ford White. As soon as he was sworn
il developed that Eckmyer had also
been employed by White TO make the
Photographic copy of the affidavit
Evelyn Nesbit is said to have made in
Abraham Hummers office.
>Eckmyer identified the negatives
made from the affidavits. but they were
not offered in evidence. Jerome next
tried to get the photographer to fix
the dates OF certain pictures for which
Evelyn Nesbit posed. hoping thus to
establish that day she says she had
the experience with Stanford White in
the Twenty fourth street house.
Delmas objected on the ground that
the evidence tended to contradict Mrs
Thaw's story and was not permissible.
Jerome said he desired TO take ad-
vantage of the waiver Delmas had
made at the beginning of the trial in
regard TO rebutting Mrs. Thaws story
JEROME Is EXCITED
IF you will let me fix the date of
these pictures" he said, heatedly, II
VIII show that on the night following
the day they were taken when. Mrs
Thaw says, she was ruined by Stanford
White, she was not in the Twenty
fourth street house ar
Jerome fairly shouted the last words
and pounded the table before him. Del
mas said he must stand upon his OBJ
lection, and it was sustained. He then
moved that the District Attorneys
improper remarks, for which he had
given much emphasis of voice and ges-
ture," be stricken from the records.
Jerome retorted by asking the court
to instruct the jury that the alleged
ravishment or non -ravishment of
Evelyn Nesbit had nothing to do with
the case.
Justice Fitzgerald admonished the
jurors to pay no attention to the re-
marks addressed to the court and to
confine themselves strictly TO the evil
dence.
It was after this conflict that the
agreement as 10 the closing stages was
reached. Jerome said be would intro
duoe as witnesses tomorrow Abraham
Hummel and his stenographer. Then
he would conclude the States case with
the testimony Of three experts-Drs.
Austin Flint. Carroll Mcdonald and
William Macon.
il was agreed that after the defense
has put in its case in sur r-rebuttal each
side shall have one clear day for the
summing up.
Then viii follow the charge of the
court and the consideration of the evil
dence by the jury.

fore Thursday and. figuring upon the

trio will not be examined until Monday

PtoJemy's Bio Boat.

Ptolemy Philopator was fond of building big boats. One of these is said to have been 42O feet long, 57 feet broad and P feet deep from the high est point of the stern. This vessel had four rudders or what some would call steering oars, as they were not fasten- ed, each forty-five feet long. She car rled 4,OOO rowers, besides 5000 ma rlnes, large body of servants under her decks and stores and provisions Her oars were tiftyseven feet long and the handles were weighted with lead There were 1000 rowers on side, and it is supposel that these were divided into five banks. That this ex- traordinary vessel ever put to sea is doubted. but that she was launched and used at times, if only for display, several historians are agreed.

An Egyptian Custom.

More than 1000 years ago Herodotus observed q remarkable custom ill Egypt. At certain season of the year the Egyptians went into the des= ert, cut off branches from the wild palm and. bringing them back to their gardens, waved them over the flowers of the date palm. Why they performed this ceremony they did not know, but they knew that if they neglected it the date crop would be poor or wholly lost Herodotus offers the quaint explanation that along with these branches there came from the desert certain flies possessed of Ja '.viyifiv vir- tue," which somehow lent an exubcr- ant fertility to the dates. But the true rationale to the incantation Is now eS= plained. Palm trees, like human be- ings. are male and female. The garden plants, the date bearers, were females, the desert plants were males, and the waving of the branches over the fe males meant the transference of the fertilizing pollen from the one to the other.
