ThaW's Statement.

What effect the statement issued by
Harry Thaw Thursday afternoon will
have on his trial is the question now
calling for much speculation. 1t is said
that Thaw's lawyers did their best to
convince him that it was bad policy
to issue the statement and only con-
sented when he insisted that he be
allowed to do so. The statement fol

against her, after the catastrophe in
1901, it is wonderful that Mrs. II. X.
Thaw prevailed in the cross-examina-
ton, against the prosecution backed by
blacklegs.
Her testimony was absolute truth.
Our evidence was of conversations.
The cross-examination has proved the
exact facts under OATH
"Mr. Jerome, finding his informants
in certain lines falsifers, concluded by
mere usual methods. which is to his
credit.
However, from some of his ques-
tons and some of his unprofessional
remarks in court, it appeared clearly
that the nataral and real goodness of
the witness is above his comprehen-
sion.'
1t was just before adjournment was
taken for the day and after many
hours of expert testimony as to the
meaning of extracts from eight letters
written by the defendant, with their
relation TO the sanity or insanity of
the writer. that Thaw gave out his
statement in court.

ARRESTED
St. Louis Suspect Not
George Webb.
Did not Answer the Description Of
the Alleged Murderer OF
f. f. Zaspell.

A telegram was received by
Sheriff Shut last Sunday stating
that a man answering the descrip.
ton Of George Webb, the alleged
murderer of e. F. Zaspell had been
arrested and taken from the train
in St. Louis, Mo.
The man who was arrested had
ticket from Pendleton to Ten
nessee. The fact that Webb pur-
chased ticket in Pendleton for
Tennessee, was considered strong
evidence in addition to the fact
that the man arrested answered the
description Of Webb.
Later Developments have shown,
however, that the man arrested
was the wrong party and does not
answer the description of Webb.
Sheriff Shut is active in doing
every thing he can to capture the
supposed murd erer.
