The Thaws.

The real reason for Harry X. Thaw's
desire TO be admitted to bail immedi-
ately pending his retrial aside from
mis- natural craving for freedom, is
that he fears his wife may utterly
collapse unless he can get her away
from New York at once.
Evelyn looks wreck. The greatest
worry of the whole Thaw family is for
Evelyn's health.
"Since last July" said a friend,
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw has wasted away
so per cent. She is only a shadow Of
herself. If she should catch cold ana
it settled on her lungs, in her present
condition, it would mean almost GER
tain death"
His wife's condition furnishes the
real motive for the demand Thaw will
make for his release under $250,000
bail. Evelyn refuses to leave New
York without her husband.
Persons who do not look kindly on
Thaw's defense are inclined to find
in his anxiety regarding his WIFE and
especially interest suddenly being
shown in her by his relatives, selfish
motive. They point out that the only
thing which gave Thaw the ghost oe
u chance in his recent trial was
Evelyns appearance on the stand. If
she should die or should fail so that
she would be unable to go on the
stand and repeat her story opinions
generally agree that it would take far
less than AZ hours for a jury to agree
and that it would probably be the
death chair for Harry.
Although Evelyn Thaw will not
leave New York without her husband,
his other relatives are not so devoted.
Already they are planning trips for
themselves to various resorts. All of
them feel the need of a rest, and will
recuperate in some quiet place.

KIDNAPPED BOY
IS STRANGLED
HEADLESS BODY OF ITALIAN BOY
FOUND IN SWAMP NEAR
NEW ORLEANS.
THREATS OF VIOLENCE MADE
HELD FOR RANSOM, ABDUCTORS
GET SCARED AND STRAIN
GLE CHILD.

New Orleans, June 24.-Two miles
in the interior of a big swamp near
this city the headless body of Walter
Lamana, an Italian child between
and years old, who was kidnapped
and held for $4,000 ransom two weeks
ago was found by the police just before
daybreak yesterday. He had been
strangled to death, according to the
ians held by the police.
The boys neck is supposed to have
been broken when he was strangled
causing the head to become separated
from the body when decomposition
set in. The head was found short
distance from the body.
Violence Is Feared.
Five Italians, two of them women
are under arrest charged with being
accomplices to the murder and extra
details of police and deputies are
maintaining order in the excited Ital.
ian quarter of the city. All day small
crowds have been dispersed by the
police.
Seldom since the Malta lynchings,
sixteen years ago, has New Orleans
been so stirred with threats of VIC
lence as yesterday.
The murdered boy was found near
st. Rose, about twenty miles from
New Orleans. A sweating process
wrung a confession from one of the
Italian suspects, who was taken from
his home in st. Rose about midnight
Saturday night and carried into the
woods by the force of officials and Wig
ilantes who had the search in charge.
Tells About Murder.
This man, Ignazio Campigciano, was
kept in the woods an hour, when he
confessed, charging four Italians with
the crime He said that about the
time of a mass meeting in New Or
leans, more than a week ago, these
men, who we're in a vacant house in
ST. Rose, became frightened and con
suited about what to do with the
child. The boy was crying, begging
to be taken to his parents, said Cam
'pigciano, and one of the quartette OF
kidnappers grabbed the child and
strangled him to death. Later two of
the kidnappers, he said, came to him,
carrying the body in a blanket, and
after threatening him with death If he
told, took the body into swamp
Campigciano after relating this
story led the police through two miles
of swamp to where the body was
found

HOT AFTER TIMBER THIEVES.
Seventy Indictments Are Found
AGAINST Prominent Men.


Denver. June 25.-As a result of the
work of the special grand jury, which
closed it's session Saturday afternoon
and reported to Judge Lewis, about
seventy indictments against men
prominent in Colorado, Wyoming, Ne
braska, New Mexico, Nevada and
Eastern states. including Wisconsin
and Missouri, were returned, princi-
pally for coal and timber frauds, al
though a few alleged mining fakirs
and a couple of cases of postOffice rob
berries were also included in the list.
Judge Lewis absolutely refuses to
give out any of the names Of those in
dicted until arrests are made, but it is
known that several lumber companies,
men high in social, political and tinan-
ciaI affairs of Denver, have been in
dicted for alleged thefts of timber
lands, while their Intermediates, some
of whom are scarcely less prominent,
are also in the dragnet.
AS a result of the Routt county coal
frauds a coal mining company of Wis
consin will have to answer for alleged
thefts on a wholesale basis, and a St.
Louis corporation is said to be lndict-
ed for coal operations in Colorado.
Other states also are represented in
the list of indictments.
