though, last night. and she rapidly
became worse, and all hope was
abandoned.
Never has more universal sorrow
been manifested throughout the city
than during Mrs. Campbelps illness,
and even those who loved her best
have felt they had never realized ner
wide popularity. All the social func-
tions announced for the week we're

came known.
Belonging to one of the most
prominent families In Paducah, her
circle of kin is wide one and sne
had made her friendship circle even
more extended.
Beside her mother. Mrs. Laura
Saunders Fowler, she leaves a little
son. John P. Campbell, and broth
err, Mr. Saunders A. Fowler. Mrs.
Mamie S. Cobb and Mrs. Elizabeth
Austin are her aunts. She was a
grand daughter of the late DR.. Reu-

brief time made her home in that
place, but returning to Paducan has
lived here ever since.
While prominent in all the social

Another Recess Taken in the
Thaw Case Until Next
Monday
YOUNG NEsBIr is PROTESTING.
Not willing to Take Stand and Re
fute sisters Statement Unless
She Is Unmolested.
EVANS RESUMES TESTIMONY

New York, Feb. 14.-(2 o'clock)
Mrs. Joseph Bolton, wife of juror,
No. IL in the Thaw trial, is dead.
She passed away before her husband
reached home, after leaving the
court bui'ding. AS soon as the news
of her death reached the court house
Assistant District Attorney Garvan
announced when court convened at
2 O'Clock it would adjourn until next
Monday.
Howard Nesbit, brother of Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw, has had tilt with Dis
trict Attorney Jerome. He baiked
fatty ON the proposition of going on
the stand to defend the memory Of
stanford White and break down the
evidence of his sister. The refusal OF
Jerome to promise that Nesbit's SIS
ter will not be prosecuted for perjury
is said to be the cause of the break.
Yesterday Afternoon.
The Thaw trial yesterday was linz
tied to the afternoon session of less
than two hours duration, the morning
sitting of court having been abandon
ed because of the illness of the wife
of Juror Bolton. He was allowed to
visit his home in company with two
other jurors and two court officers.
He found his wife suffering from
double pneumonia and two physicians
certified to District Attorney Jerome
that her condition was serious. Boil
ton returned to the jury panel in
time for the afternoon session.
DR.. Britton d. Evans, superintend-
snt Of the state hospital for the in
sane at Morris Plains, N. j., was the
only witness of the afternoon. He
concluded his direct examination
and Jerome reserved the right to
cross-question him az a later stage
of the trial
DR.. John T. Deemar of Kittanning,
Pa, was recalled to the stand and
asked 10 state wnat ne knew OF the
mental condition of John Ross, first
cousin of Harry Thaw.
Jerome objected to the question on
the ground that the relationship was
too remote to permit the drawing of
deductions as to hereditary insanity.
Both questions and the witness were
withdrawn temporarily.
Evans detailed the results of his
various examinations and physical
tests in mis- visit to the defendant,
following the tragedy. He declared
there was depression in Thaw's head
of the most unusual character. but
was unable to state its significance
because he had never seen anything
like 1t before. Evans also cited other
peculiarities about Thaw.

Special to The Evening journal.

NEW CASTLE, April 27-Arrange-
ments have been completed for Me-
mortal Day celebration by Captain
Evan S. Watson Post No. 8, G. A. r.
The pI gram will be similar to that Of
former years. The veterans will march
from cemetery to cemetery and will
strew flowers on the graves Of their
dead comrades. A squad from Com
pany II, Organized Militia of Delaware.
will fire the salute in each cemetery.
A special request for flowers has been
sent out and a movement is on foot
by the women of the city to entertain
the old soldiers at luncheon.
The trouble between the National
Tube Company and $. S. Deemer over
the railroad tracks will be settled in

pires on May I, but Mr. Deemer claims

further says that the company did not
give him the required thirty days no.
tice, and that the company has also
failed to ktp the wharf in repair and
to keep the sluice and bitches in proper
order
1t is understood that the election for
the five commissioners will be held on
May IA. 1t has been suggested that
the Board Of Trade select five names
and City Council five others, so that
there may be some clear way to vote
The understanding now is that when
voter comes to the window he an
nounces his name and the clerks Of the
election board tells the inspector the
number Of votes to which the voter
is entitled. The number is placed en-
the back of the ballot. and then the ball
lot is placed in the ballot box. This
way practically destroys the secrecy Of
the ballot.
A man who has studied the whole
matter says that the new assessment
Will show an inTease Of nearly $4,000,
and that the tax rate viii be lowered
below 81 on the 500 assessment. The
interest on $4,000 would easily be mot
