and SO the deal was arranged for Cam,

Mrs. Holman's physician would not allow
her TO take part In the conference on this

nerves. and a close friend of the family was
intrusted with the information and sent to

showing that the anguish the young woman
claims she suffered as a result of rough

1t was stated by a close friend OF the

Now that Mrs. Harry X. Thaw has chosen
to testify, Mrs. Holman, who tells her
friends she has suffered at the hands of
her daughter for years, has placed all she
knows at the disposal of Mr.. Jerome and
may go to New York herself to testify in

BoNAPARTE ON THAW CASE.
He Has Paid Little Attention to It,
He SAYS.

BALTIMORE, Md, February 14.-Speak-
ing of President Roosevelt's wish for q
censorship of the reports Of the Thaw trial.
Attorney General Bonaparte, to whose de-
partment the Presidents suggestion will
be referred, said yesterday:
Personally, take very little interest in
the Thaw trial and have read hardly any
thing beyond the headlines and but few OF
these in the newspapers since It began.
This is partly because I have been busy.
but mainly because all the attendant cir
cumstances of the tragedy are very repul
sive and disgusting. and see no reason to
trouble my mind with them.
'If 1t were my duty to listen to such re.
voting details l should discharge that duty
without complaint; but as 1t isn't I see nc
reason why I should occupy my thoughts
with nauseating pictures Of depravity
Somebody must clean out sinks and cess
pools to preserve the public health. and
such work is creditable and useful as
ton to take part in 1t as a matter of choice.
And the cleaning out of these moral sinks
and cesspools through the operation Of the
criminal law. although equally vital to the
welfare of the community, Is to my mind
even more unpleasant.
LAS for the newspapers which give these
details, think their course indicates what
kind Of people they wish and expect to have
as readers. They provide the wares their
customers want, or which they think their
customers want. and probably their judg-
ment as to the taste Of the latter may be
trusted"

Of the more than Ia. 600 officers and en-

about twenty-five were found, according to
the report, which covers thirty pages. to
have any interest in coal or other properties
situated along the company's lines. Most of
these owned stock in coal companies The
report states that several officers and en-
ployes obtained their stocks without actual
payment in cash. but that in the opinion of
the committee they were received legally

Recommendations made by the interstate

such reforms as are suggested.
AS soon as the report Is made public by
the management copies will be sent to the

other interests that might tend to interfere

that this done, but several men have

that something might develop whereby they
might be allowed to retain them.

continued. Thaw's lawyers are Of the
belief that their witnesses have made
strong impression on the jury, and they
do not care to lose the advantage they
think they have gained. The prisoner
has been reported as saying that he was
thoroughly satisfied with the progress
his trial has made.
1t was expected, If the trial had con-
tinued today, that Thaw's will would
have been admitted in evidence. One Of
the reasons given for the early adjourn
ment yesterday was that the will was
being typewriter so that it could be
read by the district attorney and Justice
Fitzgerald. When he spoke of this Mr..
Jerome intimated that he might allow
the will in evidence without any further
fight. If it Is admitted a way will prob

the names of several young women who
are said to be named. According to re-
port, Thaw set aside a sum to be devoted
to the care Of women who, he believed,
had suffered at the hands of Stanford
White. Another clause in the will sets
aside sum to be used in investigating
the testator's death should he die Of
