ThaW'S Lawyers Fight to
Keep Their Client Out of
The Insane Hospital.
PRISONERS Statement.
DECLARES THAT HIS FRIENDS
ALL KNOW HIM TO HAVE RIGHT
MIND HIS WIFE GREATLY
PERTURBED.

New York, March 21-With Jerome
fighting to have Thaw declared in
sane, and the lawyers for the defense
busy preparing affidavits to prove the
prisoner has his right mind and gener-
ally speaking has had, the greatest
battle in the trial is impending.
All further proceedings in Thaw's
trial wait now upon the action of
Justice Fitzgerald the general opinion
is that a commission will be appoint
ed Jerome will bring in support of
his contention the affidavit of every
expert on the side of the state that
Thaw is suffering from an incurable
form of insanity. And he will supple
ment this with a transcript from the
record of Dr. Hamilton's sworn decla-
ration.
The defense is opposing the commits
sion, but against such an array of
facts it is not believed that they will
be able to stay the threatened blow.
Attire that all is in doubt. The COM
mission may declare Thaw sane. In
that event his acquittal is as certain
as the appointment of the commits
sion now seems to be. No jury will
convict after the insanity of defen-
dant has been SO strongly called in
question by the prosecuting attorney
himself.
May be the Finish.
If he be declared insane the end of
the Thaw-White tragedy will have
been reached. Matteawan will claim
the young millionaire and "finis'' will
be written upon the record of the
most remarkable criminal trial that
has occupied the attention of our
courts for a generation.
Thaw makes statement in which
he welcomed the appointment of a
commission.
Il am perfectly sane said he "and
everybody who knows me knows that
am sane. In fact, on second con-
sideration of the matter, I am rather
glad on the whole, that the case has
taken this turn, because | am salts
fled the commission in lunacy is 60
ing to declare that | am sane at pre-
sent, and after that you can guess for
yourself what will happen
Though measurably excited at the
sudden turn the case had taken and
paling before the prospect of being
sent to a madhouse, the defendant
carrie. himself well throughout the
ordeal. and was much less perturbed
than his young wife.

Pastor Is Accused of Furnish
ing His House From a
Mail Order Concern.
MOVE WAS UNPOPULAR ONE
FAYETTE COUNTY PUBLICATION
TAKES THE DIVINE TO TASK
AN INCIDENT OF MUCH LOCAL
INTEREST.

"They say that pastor of certain
church in Connersville recently fur
nished his house by buying his goods
of a big Chicago mail order house,
says the Connersville Examiner. ''The
Examiner does not know to a certain
ty whether or not this is true, nor
does il know whether the size of the
bill of goods amounted to little or
much, but we would like to know how
much the mail order houses give each
year toward this preachers salary
how much they give TO build new
churches in Connersville and sustain
them.
1.-The last man on earth to patroniZe
a mail order house is a preacher who
depends on local men and concerns
for his bread and butter. 1t is the
greatest ingratitude that minister
should accept and expect cut rates on
many things he does buy of local con-
Germs, and then go out of town to
buy a considerable bill of household
furnishings"

DEMAND THE USE OF
TWENTY-TR|RD ST.
East End Residents Favor
This as Route for Trac-
ton Freight. Line.
ACTION BEING RESENTED.
SENTIMENT is THAT COUNCIL
SHOULD HAVE STOOD BY THE
CITY ATTORNEY AND BOARD OF
WORKS.

Residents in the east end of the city
are practically unanimous in the de-
mand that the interurban freight car
route be run down North Twenty-third
street, which is the street that di-
vides the old east end cemetery from
Glen Miller park. East end property
owners state tlat the line can be built
down this road as conveniently as 1t
could be built on Twentieth, Twenty
first or Twenty streets, and
they argue that by placing the line on
Twenty third street, on which there
are no residences located there would
be no damage to property.
At the public meeting tonight in the
council chamber, east end people will
be represented in large numbers and
thought that the city officials will ia
vor changing the proposed route from
Twenty-second street to Twenty third
street, but it is probable the traction
company will balk on the plan.
Action Is Resented.
Councils interference with the board
of public works and the city attorney
in their efforts to make a satisfactory
adjustment with the traction company
is resented by nearly all the residents
of the city and at the public meeting
some of the citizens probably will tell
the city fathers a few things that will
make them sit up and take notice.
At the meeting it is probable that a
remonstrance will be presented by a
few business men and residents of FIT.
Wayne avenue, against running of the
freight route over that street. This
is being circulated by a
prominent retailer on Ft. Wayne ave-
nue. who claims that If a traction line
is run on the avenue his business will
be injured by the loss of his country
trade.

BIDS MOTHER FAREWELL
Mrs. John Locke Goes to Join
Her Husband.
IS NOW IN SOUTHWEST.

Hagerstown, Ind, March 21-Mrs.
Milton Locke, mother of John Locke.
was in Richmond Wednesday to visit
them farewell before their departure
to join him in the southwest. Both
these women. mother and wife have
been devoted to John Locke through
out all his troubles. They have never
wavered in their support and their
love and attachment have excited
comment on all sides. 1t now looks
as if John Locke would be allowed
TO depart in peace and pursue what
ever lawful occupation he desires at
any place. He has been forced TO
tions by the officers of the law, who
traced him all over the country. In
the prosecutions which followed the
officers were unable to secure his con-
viction. which gave rise to the belief
that he was being used TO carry the
blame of the wrong doing of others.
a grand jury indictment hangs over
John Locke in this county, chargin g
him with stealing hogs from John
Macy Fear of prosecution and posi-
bic further pursuit will probably serve
TO keep him from returning to his old
home here for some time. His wife
and two children will join him in his
new location at once and assist him

wife and two very bright children. a
boy and girl, aged five and seven
years.

Plans Are Being Prepared for
Crusade at the First
Christian Church.
OPENING ON MARCH 81.
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING WILL
BE RESORTED TO AND NOON
DAY FACTORY MEETINGS WILL
BE HELD.

Members of the Christian church of
this city are making preparations for
one of the greatest series of evan
gelistic meetings ever held here. Ow-
ing to the fact that Evangelists VIII
son and Lint, are now at the highest
point of interest in their meetings at
New Castle, it is hardly probable the
famous team will come to Richmond
before Sunday, March 81. They are
meeting with the greatest success
there and it is probable the number
of accessions will go over the two
hundred mark before next Sunday,
166 have already taken a stand for the
right.
Believes in Advertising.
According to the arrangements be-
ing made here and the plans which
will be carried out, the newspapers
will carry large display advertise
ments in order that the people may
know the subjects of the sermons each
evening and the progress of the work.
The Rev. Wilson is great believer
in printers ink and says that the ad-
vertising of religious meetings is nee
essary in this advanced age and that
there is no reason why churches
should not advertise their meetings,
as merchants advertise their wares.
To Hold MONDAY Meetings.
Large signs will be placed on the
street cars and floating banners along
Main street. Everywhere posters adj
vertising the meeting will occupy con-
spicuous places. All the factories Of
the city will be visited and permis-
sion secured of the proprietors to
hold MONDAY revival meetings. Such
meetings have always proven highly
successful everywhere the evangeI-
lists have been. and are not expected
to be less so. in this city

JURY DRAGGED IN;
CASE is DISMISSED
Unusual Turn Taken in the AC-
ton Brought Against
John Hagener.
TWO MEN FRIENDS AGAIN
HAGENER AND WETTiG COME TO
UNDERSTANDING AND THERE
WAS NO DESIRE TO CARRY ON
PROSECUTION

Three policemen hustled about town
this morning to secure jury to hear
an assault and battery case in the city
court Business men were dragged in
twelve secured taken their seats in the
jurors chairs than Prosecutor Jessup
moved that the case be dismissed and
the court sustained the motion The
jurors left the court room with beam
ing faces.
Police Officers Scramble.
Attorney w. II. Kelley representing
John Hagener who is charged with as
sault and battery on Howard Wettig,
when the case was called. entered a
plea of not guilty for the defendant
and then asked that the case be heard
before a jury. Immediately there was
much scrambling on the part of police
officers for jurors. 1t was the first
time in the city court that jury trial
had been asked for since the celebrat-
ed Hazard case. in which the late Abe
Moss. confidential agent for the form
er board of police commissioners. was
prosecuting witness.
Two Men Made Up.
Hagener and Wettig met in the pri-
vate office of the superintendent while
the search for jurors was in progress.
There the two men made up their diff
ferences and Wettig stated that he
would not prosecute the case. 1t
seems that Wettig came by his black
ious intent on the part of Hagener. In
a playful scuffle Hagener accidentally
stuck his finger in Wettigs eye, which
Immediately caused that member to
assume abnormal proportions.

KNOWN MEN IN THE COUN.
TRY SECRETARY WILL BE
CHOSEN.

Col James Shaw arrived in the city
program committee and directors of
the Chautauqua tonight, in the Com
mercial club rooms in the Masonic tenn
pie. The arrangements for one of the
best Chautauqua programs in the his
tory of Richmond will be partially
completed. and this can be said with
out fear of contradiction, as a large
number of the best speakers on the
American platform are now under con-
sideration and many of them have ex-
pressed their willingness to come to
this city, providing the proper dates
can be arranged.
The program committee feels that
matters can be arranged so that none
of the most desired talent will be de-
prived of a place on the program. The
local committee has been engaged in
corresponding with the speakers who
make recommendations for other tai
ent, such as readers and musicians.
His recommendations will be followed
closely. as in the past years Richmond
has received a rare treat along these
lines, Mr.. Shaw being thoroughly ac-
quainted with the best concert compa-
nies and quartets in the country. 1t
is understood that none of the talent

Wa odtTdS OToNS, TIC SiodHSus onslaught with the sundered leg upon the villain, who at first grinned scorn. fully, but soon found it necessary to defend himself. Macgregor caught him nice thwack over the knuckles, causing him to drop the barrow; but a moment later the valiant one was in the others clutches and being cruelty cuffed.
 Katie could bear no more. With cry of childish wrath, she fell upon the bully from behind, and put in some really effective work with her hands and feet. Still, the battle might have been to the strong had not Willie Thomson appeared on the scene. Willie was not muscular, but he had an idea. Signing to Katie to keep clear, he suddenly grabbed the bully's right leg, and brought him to the ground with Macgregor on top. The latter shook himself free, and stood up a sorry picture.
 The bully rose with a roar, and made for Willie Thomson, who dashed off, and did not reach his own door a second too soon. There he had the good fortune to meet his elder brother, who administered to the bully troun- cing which would have been longer but for the arrival of policeman, but which could not have been stronger while it lasted
 l And, left to themselves, Katie and Macgregor dissolved in tears. She was the first to see clearly, and To! Macgregor, with his broken barrow, his bruised. tear-stained countenance, and his gusty sobs of pain and wrath -Macgregor was still her hero.
 "Dinna greet. |. Never heed" she said, over and over again, in her anxiety to comfort him.
 Ma barra's broke" he groaned.
 "Ay, but it's easy mendit. Wull ye no gang hame to yer maw noo?"
 He shook his head and grieved afresh, though he hated to weep in anybody's, especially in a girls, pres ence.
 Katie choked, and recovered her self. Come" she said, gently. "In help ye up the stair wi yer barra, an I'll tell yer nav how thon muckle sumph set on ye, an hoo ye lickit him."
 "But-but I-I didna lick him."
 "Aweel. ye vera near did it. Ye wisna feart, onywey. ken ye wisna feart."
 Her words were balm to his sore spirit. But he was feeling weak and shaky, and it was a while ere the tears ceased.
 Wipe yer cen on ma pinny," said Katie. at last; and somehow he bowed and obeyed her.
 Then together they slowly climbed the stairs, bearing the damaged bar row; and, waiting for the door to open, Katie spoke softly and encouragingly, while MacgregOr sniffed violently to keep the tears from flowing afresh. She would fain have kissed her hero, but something forbade her.
