planned before this. The case Of my

stage wherein there are naturally a
great many things which would rot

faith i'm Harry's lawyers and no men,
Der OF the family has advised him con-
trary to what he and his lawyers have
planned
"Some features of the case are of
such vital Importance that Harry or
his lawyers have not even told me.
am in ignorance Of much that will be
material and Of the greatest importance
during the trial. My sister. the
Countess. viii remain with her mother
during her stay here. 1t is probable
that She may go to Pittsburg for a
short stay in connection with some
Of our family business affairs"
The Countess and Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw never met before. because the
former looked with disfavor upon her
brothers marriage to the actress.
UP to the time brother and sister
were enstranged-which was when she
became the wife OF the Ear OF Var
mouth-she had more influence over
Harry then than any other member Of
the family, and It is believed that II
anyone can be successful In causing
him to adopt the insanity plea It will be
she.
Three witnesses to the tragedy on
the Madison Square roof, who are
ready to testify that the young man
was mentally unbalanced when he shot
Stanford White, have been found. They
are Grace Garner Mason, an actress;
Paul Debes. "a policeman. and Paul
Broudi, a fireman. An hour before the
architect was slain Mrs Mason pointed
out Thaw to her husband, and said:
THAT man acts as IL he were crazy"
II watched him for an hour before
the tragedy" she said in her apart
ments at the Hotel Flanders. Il was
not aware at the time who he was but
I remarked to my husband, who was
with me, that he was mentally unbal-
anced."
Mrs. Mason, who is an actress, was
late in arriving at the Madison Square
Roof Garden ON the evening of the
memorable murder. She and her hus-
ban stood near one OF the elevators
watching the people as they came in.
II was porticularly impressed" she
said, ''by the appearance Of the young
man who afterwards proved to be
Harry Thaw. He was clad in an ex-
tremely long. unbecoming overcoat.
which was peculiarly noticeable con-
trast to the neat-fitting, stylishly-built
gown OF his wife"

the Countess wished TO be excused

He was asked whether or not II was
true that the Countess had come here

Harry to change his present plans and
TO plead insanity. He said that was
not true
"The Countess is her mothers daugh-
ter and she is Harwy's sister, and she
feels that her place is with them in
their hour Of trouble" he said.
Mr.. Thaw was remipSsd Of the fact
that IL has been often stated that the

Indiana ingenuity was never better
displayed than in the opening of the
choked overflow pipe at the Black
burn coal mines, says the Indianapolis
Star. 1t was impossible to get at the
pipe with the necessary tools, but a
neighboring fisherman, who had
caught a large sturgeon, saw mode.
Tying a strong cord to the fish's tail
he put it in the pipe. 1t at once swan
forward to escape, and when it but
ted into the obstruction with it's bony
nose he pulled it back and let it butt
again. Thus by the simple process of
drilling the obstruction was removed.
The possibilities of this system are
great. BY the aid of trained surgeons,
gar fish and shovel-nose catfish almost
any old pipe may be cleaned.
