ney appears for Mr.. Mogginson, and

vier for the Trustees of the Commons.
The brief In the case is an interest
ing historical document It SITS forth
that tn commons, 1868 acres Of land,
on the outskirts of New Castle, was
decided by William Penn In 1901 TO the
people of New Castle for their use as
well as for the use of all inhabitants Of
the town who should come after them.

not a charity under the law that th&
are not public work or public cor
portion and that only the people Of
New Castle are benefited by the lands
The amount involved is $522.12. It
represents the taxation levied against
the trustees in 1903 For several years
previous the trustees paid taxes on the
property. but just why this was done

KILLS MANY MINERS
TERRIBLE EXPLOSION OCCURS
IN A COAL MINE IN WEST
VIRGINIA.

Elkins, W. Va, Feb. 5.-The third
mine explosion in West Virginia with
in two weeks occurred at the Davis
Coal and Coke company's mine No. rs
at Thomas, near here, and twenty-five
or thirty miners are said to have been
killed.
The disaster occurred shortly after
Z o'clock a. NJ Late in the day the
first rescue party entered the mine:
The bodies Of six foreigners and one
American were recovered at a dis
lance Of 100 feet from the shaft. Be-
fore further progress could be made a
deadly wave of poisonous fumes en-
veloped the rescuing party, which was
composed of General Manager OFT,
D. M. Boyd, Superintendent Henry
Mine, Daniel Jones, mine boss, Arthur
Steward and John Jenkins. Before
the rescuing party could reach the
surface, Jones, the mine boss, died
from suffocation.
There is no possible hope that the
men still in the mine are alive. While
,, the exact number of entombed men Is
;; not known at this time, the number is
estimated at about thirty, and it II
thought probable that there might be
more.

KILLED IN A WRECK
SEVEN MINERS MEET DEATH AND
A DOZEN OTHERS ARE HURT
At DEs MONIES.

Des Moines, a., Feb. Six men,
all miners, were killed and twelve or
more were injured in the wreck OF
coal train on the Northwestern rail-
way near the corporation limits of
Dos Moines coming into the city in
the evening. The dead are Peter
Pilsterum, Peter Exner, Olaf Ander-
son, Albert Olson, Carl Anderson and
Samuel Drew.
Ander LundQuist died on the way to
the hospital.
The accident was due to the car In
the middle of the train leaving the
track and ditching the cars behind It,
The train had on board about thirty
miners, scattered in groups on diner
ent cars, and several passengers were
in the caboose. The victims were all
buried under the wreckage and the
coal, which caught fire and made the
rescue work difficult. It is feared that
when the wreckage Is cleared away
other victims may be found.

WORK OF AVALANCHE
AT LEAST A DOZEN PERSONS ARE
KILLED By A SNOWSLIDE
IN COLORADO.

Salida, Colo, Feb. Sat least a
dozen lives are believed to have been
lost In a terrific snowslide that came
down Monarch mountain about 9
O'Clock at night, completely over
whelming three business houses and
burying their occupants under fifty
feet of snow and dirt.
The wrecked buildings are Steve
SINNERS saloon, Fred Mason's room
inghouse, and Fred Schrader's restau'
rant, the inmates of which had no
warning and no time to get out before
the crash came. Several of them
however, have been rescued.
Great confusion reigns at the scene
of the disaster and it is difficult to Sc
cure details. The snow is waist deep
on the level at Monarch and, although
help has been asked from Salida, eigh
teen miles east.

PROSECUTION Is Brief.
Presents States Side Of Thaw Case In
Two Hours.

Presents States Side Of Thaw Case In
Two Hours.
New York, Feb. 4.-The case Of the
people against Harry K. Thaw, charged
with the murder of Stanford White.
was presented to the jury in less than
two hours of the morning session of
the trial and at tho afternoon session
Attorney John B. Gleason made the
opening address for the defense.
Assistant District Attorney Garvan
outlined the case for the prosecution,
occupying less than ten minutes in
narrating in conversational tone the
events on the night of the tragedy.
He did not go beyond the immediate
events preceding the shooting on the
Madison Square Roof Garden. The
prosecution decided to let the evidence
of actual facts prove the motive.
Mr.. Garvan declared in his opening
address that Thaw's act was DELHI
crate, premeditated and Intentional
murder. He walked up to the archi-
tect when he had determined to kill,
wheeled and faced him and then fred
bullet into his brain.
Before the prosecution began the
Introduction of it's evidence District
Attorney Jerome secured from the
court and with consent of Thaw's
counsel an order that all witnesses
except experts should be excluded
from the room.
It became known then for the first
time that Mrs. William Thaw, the
prisoners mother, will take the stand
! in his behalf and will probably tell
some of the escapades of his youth.
Mother and Wife Excluded.
The woman hesitated for moment,
then arose and left. She was followed
by Mrs. Harry X. Thaw and May
Mackenzie. Thaw seemed depressed
as his mother and wife walked by
His wife is expected to be his most
important witness. The prisoner
thought an exception might be made
| in the case of his mother and WIFE
| but his lawyers advised them to leave
with the rest.
Thaw flushed a vivid red as Mr.
Garvan, in a loud voice, called thu
name. Of the first witness. He was
Lawrence White, the nineteen-year-olt
son of the dead architect.
As the youth stepped to the witness
chair Thaw cast his eyes upon thu
table before him and did not lift then
once during the brief examination o
the young man. Whites testimon!
was unimportant. He was with hi
father at dinner the night OF tn
tragedy, but left him before he wen
to the Madison Square Roof Garden.
The other witnesses for the prose
cution were called in rapid order
They were the eyewitnesses to tn
tragedy and added nothing new t
what has long been familiar readin
to the public They testified that TO
lowing the shooting Thaw declared q
White: "He ruined my wife,"
When his wife said to him: "Se
what a fix you are in,'' it is testifie
that 1'haw replied: "Dearie, I hav
probably saved your life

CONSPIRACY CHARGED.
Grand Jury lndiets Alleged Theatrical
Trust.

Trust.
has returned an indictment against
the so-called theatrical trust, charg-
ing conspiracy and restraint of trade.
The indictment is against Nixon &,
zimmerman, Klaw & Erlanger, Charles
Frohman and AL Hayman, who are
alleged to constitute the trust. 1t
was handed up to Judge Foster in the
court OF general sessions. Alfred Lau-
terbach, of counsel for the defend
ants, was in court and at once COM
mun1cated with several of his clients
instructing them to appear in court

Messrs. Frohman and Hayman are
now In Europe.
The Indictment sets forth in detail
the acts of the so-called trust and its
efforts to prevent certain theatrical
enterprises from playing in any other
than independent theaters. Some OF
the witnesses before the grand jury
testified that in certain cases the
trust compelled them to make con
tracts with the trust" to do the book
ing Of plays, charging 1913 per cent
Of the net receipts for the booking
The indictment alleges that the SO
called trust controls more than 500 Of
the prominent theaters in the country
It is charged that In these contracts
between the theaters and the mem
| bers of the trust" there was con
| spiracy In restraint of trade.

DEFENSE rs INSANITY
THAW ALLEGED TO HAVE Been
OUT OF HIS MIND WHEN
he KILLED WHITE.

Prosecution in Noted Case Occupies
>ss Than Two Hours in Laying Its
Evidence Before the Jury and coun.
sci for the Prisoner Then Outlines
tho Plea on Which the Defendant
Justifies His Act.
New York, Feb. 4.-Insanity is the
defense in the trial Of Harry K. Thaw,
slayer of Stanford White. In his
opening address to the jury Attorney
Gleason, for the defense, said Thaw
was suffering from insanity, hereditary
In nature, when he shot White.
Mr.. Gleason stated the defense
would be one Of insanity. He declared
that Thaw believed he was acting up
On the word of Providence when he
killed Stanford White; that he acted
without malice and did not know the
nature or quality of his act.
Mr.. Gleason declared further that 1t
| would be shown that Thaw acted In
| self-defense and without malice, be-
ueving threats had been made against
him by Stanford White.
Heredity and stress, the attorney
! said, are the two great causes OF In
sanity. The defendant suffered from
great stress of mind. Certain things
kept revolving over and over again in
his mind until his brain was in whirl
Of madness and he felt impelled by
! Providence to act in the way he did.
IAN insane man." continued Mr..
Gleason, may express the utmost alb
horrence of all crime and admit that
murder is wrong, yet when the insane
Impulse comes it separates the act
contemplated from the general idea OF
crime and the general consciousness
that murder is wrong does not enter
Into the act at all.
"Our law declares that killing Is
murder when the man who commits
the act is of sound mind-of SOUND
mind, remember-and when there is
malice aforethought, either expressed
Or implied"
Mr.. Gleason asserted that Evelyl
Nesbit Thaw, when first asked b!
Harry Thaw to be his wife, refused
because of IAN experience in her LII
connected with Stanford White"
