awoke under n weight OF dis
couragement and desolation.
The past twenty-four hours with their
manifold experiences seemed distant
and unreal. At breakfast he was
ashamed TO tell Dextry Of the gam
bling debauch, for he had dealt treach-
erously with the old man I'm risking
half Of the mine, even though they
had checked the senseless, unreasoning
lust for play that possessed him later.
This lapse was the last stand OF his
old, untamed instincts. The embers Of
revolt in him were dead. He felt that
he would never again lose mastery of
himself that his passions would never
best him hereafter.

Two Pleasant Occasions.

The gloomy weather this morn ing caused a reminineScent mood to pervade the minds of most people who happened to have a minute spare time, and under this influence Judge Denman be gan talking about past campaigns.
 The talk finally drifted to the subject of eating, and the Judge remarked that on two oc- casiOnS he remembers especially the splendid meals he had en- jOyed-prObably the best of his life.
 The first was during his sec Ond campaign as clerk. It was just before the general election and o. $. Jones was his opponent. He had ridden hard one day and had missed his dinner. About supper time he drew reign at the home of Bob Martin, and was permitted to spend the night. The supper he ate was one of those memorable meals.
 And next, during his recent campaign as County Judge, just a few days before the primary, he had been busy for hours-in fact way into the night, urging his claims and had really forgot ten about supper, when suddenly, about Il o'clock D. m., he realized that most folks had retired. and making for Clint Hamilton's $ he aroused that gentleman from bed, and asked permission to spend the night. The request of course was granted, supper was pre- pared, aud the judge ate the sec ond of his two best meals.

Philadelphia, counsel for the young
woman, has this 10 say:
MY counsel left Wilmington when

He said, moreover, that by no stretch

ton in neglecting to pay the bill for

Tragedy
II On owr Wlre. pnbllahars, Press.

BY Our Own Wire. Publishers Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Harry Thaw
will take the witness stand 20 justify
his killing Of stanford White. Thaw
has every confidence in his acquittal by
the jury who are to determine whether
he must die in the electric chair or go
free.
"The jury is more than satisfactory
to me-" said Thaw to-day "and / am
certain to receive a fair trial l have
no fears for the outcome, as 1 am
condent that when I tell the jurors my
story they will feel that l was justi-
fed in my act"
Harry Thaw realizes that all his
past life will be raked up by the
prosecutor on cross examination and
that much of the career Of Evelyn Nes-
bit Thaw will be made known. Dis
trict Attorney Jerome has secured
Pittsburg for evidence Of Thaw's es-
capades Miss Ida Fitch, a young Pitts
burg girl for whom Thaw is alleged to
have conceived a wild attachment will
appear on the stand against him.
Miss Fitc, it is asserted, had Thaw
arrested in Pittsburg because of un-
welcome attentions. She was then only
Is years old and Thaw wrote her let

Robinson" was arrested and fined.
Looking Up Jurors Records.
Detectives are to-day investigating
the records of all the jurors and there
is a strong likelihood that one or more
may be dropped when the trial is re-
sumed on Monday.
District Attorney Jerome said to-day
that il the defence did not cross-ex
anime to any great length the whole
case of the people would be ended by
adjournment Of the morning session on
Monday. The State will simply prove
the bald fact that Harry Thaw shot
and killed Stanford White on Madison
Square Garden on the night Of June 25.
Only Four Witnesses.
The district attorney will probably
not call more than four witnesses at
the most. Policeman Debs, who made
the arrest, and the sergeant Of the Ten
derloin Police Station. who took
Thaw's pedigree. will be called. with
one or two actual witnesses Of tho
shooting. AS it Is, District Attorney
Garvan said to-day that it would moi
take him more than fifteen minutes tC
