Four men were given sleeping quar-
ters at the police station last night,

fortunates seeking work. Two were
young fellows trying to get as many
miles as they could between themselves
and the metropolis of Chicago. and

testimony, In the form of opinions as
10 Thaw's mental condition at the
time of the shooting. so important
was this subject, that the counsel on
both sides spent the noon hour in
searching the authorities in order to
give their advice to Justice Fitzgerald
as to the admissability Of the evi-
dence. Mr.. Delmas succeeded in con-
vincing the court that the most recent
decisions of the New York state court
of appeals justified the introduction of
evidence by laymen not as to the san
lty or insanity of the defendant, but as
to the character of his conduct and on
this theory witnesses who saw the
shooting were permitted to express
the opinion that Thaw's demeanor was
irrational. Thaw's mood all day re-
flected the brighter hue which his case
assumed.
VULGAR TESTIMONY.
He chatted with his counsel and
smiled frequently. In court we're his
sisters, the Countess of Yarmouth and
Mrs. George l.. Carnegie, When the
testimony of Benjamin Bowman, tele-
graph operator who was stage door
keeper at the Madison Square theatre
in 1903 was admitted to the effect that

said the words II will kill that - of
- before daylight" these two wo-
men together with several others in
the court room, though not ALL with
drew at Justice Fitzgerald's warning
that some of the testimony about to
be introduced naight be of vulgar
character. Bowman's testimony, which
was excluded yesterday through mis-
cue on the part of the defendants
lawyers in attempting to introduce it.,
was most sensational. His story was
unshaken by District Attorney Jerome,
despite protracted cross alton
extending even into trivialities in Mr..
Jerome's attempt to cast some dis
credit on Bowman's evidence.
BowMAN'S STORY.
Bowman told of Stanford Whites
coming to the stage entrance of the
theatre where Evelyn Nesbit was then
playing in the Girl from Dixie" to
inquire for Miss Nesbit. Bowman
told the architect that Miss Nesbit
had left the theatre 3. few minutes be-
fore with Mr.. Thaw. White had call
ed him liar. and Bowman had
told him to go into the theatre and
look for Miss Nesbit if he did not be-
believe she had gone. White had en-
tered the theatre, according to Bow
man and a few minutes later had
passed out Of the stage entrance, ig-
noring Bowman, but the latter had
overheard him make his profane de-
claration as if talking to himself, and
had seen him draw from his coat pock-
ct a revolver. This statement of fact
alone might not have had such telling
Importance for Thaw had Bowman not
added that he informed the Pittsburg
