PLENTY OF AMMUNITION

Quartermaster General Says No Close
Check Is Kept on Shells Fur

Washington, March 14.--When the
2Gth infantry was transferred from
Brownsville, Tex, to make room for
the negro soldiers of the 25th infantry
the white soldiers left behind many
suits of cast-off khaki uniform and
Shells, cartridges and bandoliers ly-

This important testimony, was CIV

mittee on military affairs by Row.
land Osborne, the white post quarter
master general at Fort Brown dur
ing the occupation of the fort by both
the 26th ard 25th infantry. Osborne
did nothing concerning the loose am
munition and clothing except to take
40 rounds of Krag-Jorgensen car
tridges which he still has at Fort Sam
Houston, Texas. His recollection was
that all of the ammunition which he
saw at Fort Brown after the depart
ure of the Goth was Krag-Jorgensen
ammunition, but he could not state
positively that there were no Spring
field cartridges left behind.
On cross-examination he said it was
very simple matter for soldiers to
get extra ammunition as when they
were on the range for preliminary
proctice or target shooting other than
competition shooting close check was
not made of the actual number of
shots fired by soldiers. The soldiers
were expected to turn back the shells
not used, but there was no way to be
sure that they had done So Osborne
was still on the stand when the noon
recess was taken.
Captain B. j. Edgar, Jr., who was as
sistant surgeon at Fort Brown, with
the 26th infantry until July 5, 1906,
told of the hostility of the people OF
of Brownsville to the coming of me-
gro troops and of attending injured
soldiers who had been attacked by
people of the town. He cOrrObOrated
other white officers in their state
ments that the citizens, with few ex-
ceptons, were of character not de-
sired as associates for refined people.

know the nature and quality of his
act and knew that the act was wrong.
When court adjourned Mr.. Delmas had
not begun his cross'examination OF
DR.. Flint, who is the first of six
alienists to be called by Mr.. Jerome,
After receiving DR.. Flint's answer
to the Delmas hypothetical question
Mr.. Jerome had read to the witness
the prosecutions hypothetical question
which contained $4,000 words and
which required one hour and Is min
utes in the reading. DR.. Flint again
said without qualification that Thaw
knew his act was wrong and is there;
fore liable for the murder in the first
degree under the statutes of the state

Abraham Hummel was on the stand
again Thursday and before Mr.. Del
mas could object to question put by
Mr.. Jerome the witness had got into
the record the statement that Evelyn
Nesbit had told him that she had in
formed Harry Thaw in Paris, in 1908
that Stanford White positively had
not drugged or betrayed her. - Mr..
Delmas at first moved to have the
question and answer stricken from
the record, but as the district attor-
ney seemed about to consent to this
plea, he insisted that the answer
stand.

SAID THAW KNEW
First Expert for State Declares
Him Sane When He Shot
Stanford White.
STRONG POINT FOR JEROME
Judge Fitzgerald Admits the Testi-
mony of Whites 6rother-in-law
Who Describes ThaW's Acts
On Night of Tragedy.

New York, March 13.-The end Of
the Thaw trial at last seems to be
in sight. Tentative plans for the
final stages of the trial were agreed
upon Tuesday by opposing counsel,
even to the detail of alloting the time
for the summing up.
Mr.. Jerome played Tuesday prob
ably the strongest card he holds
evidence which came to his know
ledge but few days ago and which
undoubtedly caused him to abandon
the idea of trying to send Whites
slayer to a madhouse and to try for
a straight out conviction under the
criminal statutes. The evidence came
from Mrs. Stanford Whites brother,
James Clinch Smith, who told a re-
markedly clear, succinct story of the
events of Madison Square Garden,
the night White was killed and of a
long conversation he had with Thaw
Just before the shooting.
Attorney Delmas for the defense
bitterly fought the introduction Of the
testimony for nearly two hours, re-
newing his argument begun Monday
afternoon. He declared Mr.. Smith
was properly a witness in chief and
should not be allowed to testify in
rebuttal. Mr.. Jerome replied that he
had known only for few days the
real value of Mr.. Smiths testimony
tha conVarcatiOnc 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 to all the facts. 1t was one of
the most serious blows the judge has
dealt the defense since his trial be-
gan.

New York, March 16.-With Attor-
ney Delmas fighting him every inch
of the way, District Attorney jerome
Friday secured from Abraham Hum
mel his complete story as to the affi-
davit which 1t is alleged Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw made in the lawyers office
in 1903, charging Harry X. Thaw
with beating her when she had told
him that the statement that Stanford
White had drugged and ruined her
was not true. Mr.. Delmas, first OBJ
jecting broadly to all of HummePs
testimony, offered specific objec-
ton to each question put by the
prosecutor. Justice Fitzgerald over
ruled every objection and Mr.. Del
mas had exceptions.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was called to
the stand in the effort OF the defense
to keep Hummel silent She declared
she had called upon Hummel in his
professional capacity, and to seek his
advice as a lawyer. STANFORD White
had taken her to the lawyers Office
with that end in view.
Justice Fitzgerald declared that ad-
hitting the proposition of counsel and
client, Mrs. Thaw herself had waived
the professional privilege by taking
the stand early in the case and CIV
ing her version of what transpired at
II IF
once removed could not be re-estab-
lished
Unsuccessful in blocking Hummel's
testimony Attorney Delmas in cross
examining the witness brought from
his own lips the fact that he had been
convicted in December 1905 on a
charge of conspiracy in the same
courtroom in which rnaw is being
tried. He further admitted that two
indictments for suborantlon of per-
jury are pending against him and that
one of the indictments charges him
with having caused false affidavit
to be made.
Hummel first said he had himself
arranged for photographing the affi-
davit and that the photographer came
to his office. A few moments later,
however, he completely contradicted
himself on this point, saying he did
not make the arrangements; that the
photographer did not come to his Of
tice; and that he had not so testified.
District Attorney Jerome complet-
ed his medical testimony in the morn
ing, Attorney Delmas for the defense
declining to cross examine any of the
experts. DR.. Flint, who testified
Thursday was excused and then five
other alienists were called one after
another. Each said ne was familiar
with the hypothetical questions franz
ed by the defense and by the prosecu-
ton. Basing their opinions on these
questions, they all declared that Thaw
on the night he shot and killed Stan
ford White knew the nature and quail
ity of his act, and knew that the act
was wrong.

New York, March H.-After fore
noon session occupied almost entire
ly by District Attorney Jerome in a
bitter denunciation of the defendant
and his wife, the trial of Harry X,
Thaw for the murder of Stanford
White was adjourned shortly after
~ s'clock- Wednesday until Thursday
morning.
Abraham Hummel again took the
stand. He had testified before the
arrival of Mr.. Smith that he saw
Evelyn Nesbit at his office October
81. 1908, after her return from
Europe
did you. after a conversation with
Evelyn Nesbit on october 81 dictate
something to a stenographer?" asked
Mr.. Jerome.
Mr. Delmas promptly objected on
the ground that this was not in re-
buttal of any testimony offered by
the defense.
Mr.. Jerome proceeded to argue the
points of law involved.
Mr.. Jeromes contention was that
If it could be shown that under oath
Miss Nesbit denied that she told
Thaw the stories about Stanford
White which in this trial she testi-
fled to have narrated to Thaw in
Paris, that fact must have weight
with the jury in deciding whether she
had in truth made that statement, re-
lated in her testimony and which has
been the basis Of theory that the de-
PENDANT is insane.

MY little son, when about a year

come on his arms, then on other parts

from scratching the sores and tearing
