New York. Feb. S.-One of the
most interesting developments in The
trial of Harry X. Thaw. Of Pittsburg
for the Killing of Stanford White last
IN has been the international
importance impaired to the case bN
the sources from which witnesses and
friends Of the accused have beer
drawn. In addition to ThaW's oWn
family and two or three medical ex-
perts. the number Of Pittsburgers In
Town exceeds all previous records
They overflow every hotel in the city,
apnarpntly. as well as the boarding
houses ON West FOrty-fourth and
West Forty-fifth streets. which seem
10 be a popular stamping ground for
those unwilling to go to more expcn-
sive quarters. The Hotel Aston, in
Longacre Square. has five times as
many guests from the smoky City AS
mt any other time since its opening,
and the same thing is true of mann
other leading hotels. san Francisco.

niShed one or more Of the principal
characters in the trial: ThaW's per-
SOnal counsel comes from New Or

mouth, has arrived from ENGLAND
while his mother. Mrs. William ThaW.
has hurried home from Paris to be
present as the trial which involves
the life or. at the very least. the lib
erty of her son. An army Of several
hundred artists. reporters me spp-
cial correspondents drafted from the
ranks Of lady noVelists and sensa-
tional writer's generally. and repre-
ScntinG the newspaper press of tho
entire country, have crowded the court
