Drunk at the Time He
Killed White.
tBy Associated Press. ]


NEW YORK. March 6-The way
was cleared this morning for taking
the testimony of Mrs. William Thaw.
District Attorney Jerome continu-
ed the cross-examination of DIR. Wag-
ner. The expert was excused Just
before luncheon and recess was or
dered.
Thaw's counsel then stated the
defendants mother would be calico
at the afternoon session.
Jerome today took new tack in
the cross-examination of DR.. Wagner.
He asked IL in the acts surrounding
the killing of White. there was any
thing to enable the witness to differ
entiate between insanity and intoxi-
cation.
Wagner declared there was moth
ing whatever to indicate intoxica-
ton, but much to indicate insanity.
Wagner further testified that Thaw
was OF unsound mind when he mar
ried. but had sufficient intelligence
to know what he was doing.
Mrs. William Thaw took the stand
after the luncheon recess.

There was somewhat OF a skiddos
of the street walkers iewd women
tuesday night, after the exposure Of
Mayor Harmers administration.
They heard about the exposure by
the Telegram OF the compact they
seem 10 have with the present adj

Some wonder where they went
Most ans one who happened to be at
the traction and railroad depots
could tell You. The Telegram Is told
interurban traffic toward Fairmont
was increased after supper-not
exactly the sort of trafiic revealed in
the Telegram that day. but the
source of the traffic. Other soiled
doves and red wrapper females wend-
ed their way By limited st. Louis
trains from Baltimore. Their des-
tiny was that very wicked rural
place.. known on the map as Park
ersburg, where the only federal Of
fee in the future is to be the post
office.
Immune Against Arrest.
The street walkers certainly did
take tumble. They dumped them
selves into the street cars for Fair
mont and the coaches for Parkera-.
burg and even more distant points.
Their terror was without foundation,
however. as they would have known
on second thought that the head OF
the present administration pays no
attention to the contention OF the
Telegram for decency and the keep
ing of his pledges because that head
is bigoted enough to think that It
ought to subsldize every thing and
every body. forgetful. indeed. that It
is not the whole cheese. and that
others have cheese knives.

Would Make colorado Famous.

AS the result of the temperance agi-
tation in the East and South, Colorado
may become the Mecca for ostracized
distilleries for people whose over
whelming thirst finds no relief in
other states. Within the last few
days the office of the United States
revenue collector has been swamped
with letters from liquor firms in
Georgia, Kentucky, Kansas and Indi-
ana, where the courts and legislatures
are busy dealing body blows to all
drinks stronger than lemonade. They
anxiously inquire if Chief Deputy In
spector Myers believes there is fer
tile field for the business in Colorado.
They lay particular stress on the ques-
tions as to whether the water is good
for distilling and whether the temper
ance laws of the state are strict. One
Indignant Kentuckian asks If Colorado
is also degenerating. and if the people
are fond of the good old Kentucky
brand of whisky.
All alike promise to make Denver
and its sister cities famous for the
goods manufactured within their boun-
daries Mr. Myers has replied in each
case that the water here is good fcr
everything, that the citizens, in legs
lation, at least, are not prohibitionally
inclined, and that there do not seem
to be any present prospects for the
temperance wave to strike Colorado.
