CHOOSING THAW JURY.
Nine Talesmen Selected In Young
Mans Trial For Murder.

Nine Talesmen Selected In Young
Mans Trial For Murder.
New York, Jan. 29.-The curtain was
rung up in the criminal court here for
another act in the tragedy of real life
known as the Thaw-White case.
The story of the tragedy was brought
down to the grim courtroom scene
where twelve me1 are to sit and render
judgment which may mean either
the taking of another life, this time
by the state, or determination that
Harry X. Thaw was justified in the
claim that he shot the man who had
ruined his Wife There may be a
third decision, that Thaw was insane
at the time he committed the crime
emotional insanity it is called.
Nine jurors were chosen out of a
long list of talesmen examined to well
and truly weigh the evidence that will
be presented to them and render a
verdict with even handed justice.
Plans for the defense of Thaw have
become known. They are surprisingly
at variance with all the rumored lines
of procedure that have been published.
The ''unwritten law" will not be in
voked at all in any manner
Temporary insanity at the time of
the shooting of Stanford White will be
the only plea made.
Thaw's counsel issued the following
authoritative statements;
Harry X. Thaw will be freed on the
strict application of the laws on She
statute books of the state of New
York There Yill be no intervention
of any 'unwritten or higher law as
has been surmised. We do not need to
20 beyond the statute books to con
vince the jury that he should be &C
quilted.

THE CIVIC LEAGUE
Waging War Upon Illegal Post Cards
And Sunday Club Opening.

War upon obscene postal cards, now
being put out by some Of the
dealers of this city, is the action now
being taken by Rev. II. \. Primgle of
this city. representing the Christian
Civic League of Maine. Mr.. Pringle
recently visited several of the stores
and other places. where cards Of this
nature are obtainable and purchased
several. which are being used as evil
dencc.
a meeting was held last evening at
the vestry of the Baptist church which
was attended by large number Of the
members of the league from this city.
These members were representatives Of
the various churches and also Colby
College. The meeting was called by
Mr. Prir gle and the matter was clearly
discussed.
For a long time and in fact since the
origin Of the souvenir postal cards, such
cards that are unfit for sale have been
sold and circulated through the mail,
until action was taken by the United
States mail authorities prohibiting their
use through the mail. But some stores
continue to sell then2 and somehow
they continue to 80 through the mail
until Mir. PrinGlc took the aforesaid
action.
At the meeting action was taken but
the members declined to make any
statement regarding the same until the
next NEE ting, which will probably be
held next week. During the meantime
the members Of the league will again
be on the warpath obtaining such evil
dencc as they wish and ut the next
meeting the blow may fall.
Another move on the part OF this
society. it is understood, is to be the
closing Of the club rooms on Sundays.
This is something that has been tried
for sometime, but Without result. All
are awaiting with interest the outcome
of the next meeting of the League.
