ONE MORE FOOL
At BUZZ SAW
Perry Belmont Sneers al
President R00Seve|pS

WASHINGTON, April TO- Perry
Belmont touched the buzz saw this
morning to see if it is running. He
said in an authorized interview:
IN parts of the United States, re-
mote from the capital, the impression
prevails there is in Washington an in
teectual giant commanding the arm
les and navies, presiding over the ad-
ministration of justice, giving advice,
reproving judges, threatening and con-
trolling railroads, in his leisure mo-
ments becoming the arbiter of peace
or war. and determining the destinies
If nations.
In reality the big stick is an or
binary weapon long used by every
president with any skill as a politi-
can. Never has the patronage, which
IS the big stick. for home use been
used so seltishly or applied more vim
dlctiVely than at present.
1T Is necessary now for the people
to get a true estimate of Roosevelt as

the killing is justified.
This does not mean "dementia

He appealed to the jury not to allow
sympathy to affect the verdict and
took a slap at Delmas for injecting his
plea for sympathy and said:
why should not your sympathy be
aroused? On the one hand you have
this aged mother and young wife, but
on the other hand you have noble
son. You saw him on the witness
stand and saw the widow who loved
the man who is dead. l say this to
show sympathy can be enlisted on both
sides. You cannot help having your
sympathies aroused but you can keep
them from influencing your verdict"
He repeated Delmas' definition of
questionable doubt and went into the
question of insanity saying:

NEW YORK, April 10.-Interest was
at fever heat when the Thaw trial was
resumed this morning. greater
crowd was present than ever. Even
Delmas didn't draw as Jerome did
The Thaw family was present. each
with serious demeanor, each lnclud-
ing Thaw's mother, and the Countess
of Yarmouth, frequently speaking en-
couragingly to Evelyn.
At l1:4O o'clock Jerome began:
1--WE have been wandering through
the field of romance for two days. NO
matter how fine the orator we must
not be swayed by what we desire, but
must remember that safety OF the
satte and the safety of us all demand
state and the safety of us all demands
Justice. The important issue of a
mans life must not be determined by
Biblical quotations.
He warned the jurors that neither
the personality of Thaw's pleaders nor
himself was at issue. Continuing, he
said.

whether White assaulted Evelyn Nes-
bit 1t is an issue between the state
of New York and Harry Thaw. 1t is
an issue to uphold the safety and the
right of the state. You must decide
the case upon the evidence. Upon the
evidence given, upon the sanctity of
your oath you must render verdict.
I will endeavor to show what the de-
fendant did was not justifiable: that
in what he did the defendant dis
opeyed the law. He must answer to
the law for it. Let me direct your
attention to the elements entering into
the case. First, there is the indict-
ment of the grand jury; the accusa-
ton of the grand jury on just what
the law says: that premeditated and
unjustifiable killing is murder. de-

JEROME TRIES TO DESTROY SYMPATHY

that no higher law should enter into
this case AS to "dementia Americana
which prevails from the Canadian line
to the gulf of Mexico, it is mostly on
the Gulf of Mexico. Does it wait three
years to glare at an enemy and then
kill? Does it flaunt at women it kills
for two long years through the capl-
tails of Europe then kill? 'Dementia
Americana never hides behind the
skirts of woman. 1t never puts
woman on the stand to lay bare her
mount the stand in category when de-
menia Americana prevails"
Then Jerome turned to the table,
took up small book containing the
records of states case in chief and
said:
"All these weeks were spent in a
vain attempt to prove the facts herein
contained"
He outlined in brief testimony of
how Whites son and sons of his friend
dined unobserved by Thaw. How
White took his son to the theater then
went to the roof garden.
There was an entertainment where
you and I. our wives and daughters
might have been, reasonably expecting
the protection of the law. Then ThaW
gets up. his wife says he is gone about
10 minutes. He walked about. stood
and talked to Smith. Whites brother
inlaw, always looking at the place
where White sat all unconscious of the
presence of Thaw. He then walked
between Madison avenue aisle looking
over to the place where White sat,
returned and the party rose to leave

direct as we'll as indirect benefit from
having good place for the CONNER
cial club as the rental will make the
investment for the extra story good
one, besides providing a ready means
of expansion for the city Offices when
the growth of Walla Walla demands
it.
The objection which has been raised
that the site is not good one will be
combatted by the showing this is the
only possible location for the fire de-
partment and the advantage of having
all departments convenient to the
business portion of the city.
The letter will also show the big
saving to the city in Office rental
which is now paid and will close with
an appeal to the voter to get out and
vote and not allow a meritorious meas
ure to be killed by staying away from
the polls.

termed "oneriness on the part of Mil

ler.'
He said the mules had done but little
damage and the holes they made in
the parking could be filed up with
three or four gallons of dirt and that
he had offered to have the damage re-
paired. He declared Maud" had
stepped only five times on the Miller
lawn and that Miller had boasted at
the time he had offered to settle for
the damage that he would get $2.20
witness fees out Of the case anyway.
Attorney Blandford said Mr.. Miller
was striving to keep up nice place
on the outskirts of the city and he
ought to be protected against the
of people who drove sock.
He said he did no wish to be severe
on Mr.. Keithly but thought people
should be given to understand the ordi-
name would be enforced.
Keithly was fined $40 ana costs
to $6 and Casey was dis
charged. This is the minimum hne
provided by the statute for this Of
fense. He was much displeased with
the decision and attempted to reason
the judge out of it and finally declared
he would appeal the case as he thought
it bit of "oneriness'' on part of Mil
Ter. His bond was fixed at e$50-which
he said he would gladly furnish.

MARTYR" NOT so STUBBORN
Mrs. Thompson Willing to Testify
Against Negro

Mrs. E. n. Thompson, whose open
defiance Of Judge BrentS last Saturday
was the sensational feature Of the
term of court just closed, will probab-
ly be allowed to appear before the
court tomorrow morning and make 4
showing as to the reason of her action
1t is said Mrs. Thompson is now
willing to testify in regard to what She
knows of the Ford case, but is not so
willing to tell all she knows about the
conduct of the DelmOnico lodging
house. The latter information the
prosecuting attorney is anxious to get
so he can make out his case against
the proprietor of that house as ordered
by the court.

NEGRO GOES ON TRIAL AGAIN
Ford 10 Defend Himself Against
Burglary Charge

William Ford will probably be ar
raigned on the charge of burglary to-
morrow morning.
Ford is the negro who was accused
of assaulting George Argobast at the
DelmOnicO lodging house and was ac-
quilted on the sodomy charge because
of a technicality in the law. He will
probably plead not guilty" to the new
charge which the prosecuting attorney
is to bring against him under the di-
rectiOn of Judge Brents.
The new case against Ford brings ltp
a unique feature of the burglary stat
ute. Although burglary is usually
thought of as implying the breaking
into a house for the purpose of steal
ing and Ford is not accused of at
tempting to steal anything. yet he can
be tried under the burglary statute
because it provides that the entrance
of room for the purpose of commit
ting any felony is burglary.

Taking these circumstances togeth-

attempt to give it credibilify by
branding it as the dispatch OF a re-
liable dispenser of news. causes the
opinion to be freely expressed among
the local friends of the senator that
the story was concocted by his enc
mics in this city.
They deny there has been any such
conference of the friends of the SEN

base fabrication or something
shorter and stronger.
