GOOD GOVERNMENT
LEAGUE TO BE ORGANIZED

| cided to take Time by the Forelock
and instead of waiting until next week

ing is called to be held Thursday night

Zen minute talks will be allowed. The
league is to be non-political, non-re-
ligious and non-sectarian. All good
citizens of whatever belief or party
are invited to come out and partici-
pate. 1t is hoped that the better citi-
zenship of Roswell will come out on
this occasion and show their stand on
the good government proposition.
AS it known to Record readers, one
of the indirect purposes of the league
will be to lend moral support to Gov
ernor Hagerman in his splendid and
impartial work in reforming politics
and political conditions generally in
New Mexico. Especially since he is

When they told her the hotel was

right" She was new hand and is
thought to have misunderstood the
purpose of telling her the place OF
the fire.
Chief Charles Whiteman, of the fire
department, called at the Record Of
fee this morning, and states that the
reason the department was not called
out for the fire was that the girl at
the central telephone Office did not
send in an alarm. The fire department

til it was all over.
1t was lucky that the building was
not totally destroyed. The damage is
estimated at about $3.50, fully cover

New York, Feb. 5.-The first wit
ness called by the defense in the
Thaw case this morning was DIR. c.
C. Wiley, of Pittsburg, Thaw's family
physician, connected with Dixmo1t
insane asylum. Wiley said that in
1905 he witnessed an incident from
which he drew the conclusion that
said that in the summer of 1905 he
was a passenger on a street car in
Pittsburg, when Thaw entered, and
without apparent reason, Thaw rush
ed to the blind of one of the windows
drew it up and slammed it down, then
threw it up again. He had quarrel
with the conductor over the action.
A hypothetical question in which was
outlined the killing of Stanford White
coupled with an Interrogation as TO
whether the witness could express an
opinion of such an act committed by
the person he saw in the Pittsburg
street car was propounded. Wiley ex-
pressed the opinion that such person
was suffering from insanity. Later the
hypothetical question and answer was
stricken out on the ground that the
doctor did not base his opinion en-
tirely upon the hypothetical question.
Justice Fitzgerald ruled that the mat
ter would have to be gone over again.
Attorney Gleason then reformed his
question by the statutes of the state
of New York, and DR.. Wiley declared
that the act was that of an insane
man.
District Attorney Jerome put the
through the most severe
cross examination ever heard in the
court room. The prosecuting attorney
seemed to have every medical auth
ority at his finger tips. The care with
which he had prepared to meet Thaw's
plea of insanity was evident in his
every question, and at times the wit
ness hesitated in his answers as if
completely baffled. DIR. Wiley was
still un-ler fire when luncheon was
ordered. Are you nearly through"
asked Justice Fitzgerald of the dis
trict attorney.
