conspiracy in the Sheilpot election district
is set for Monday next before the Court

Sometimes these stones are
fetched by his wife; a business
man; a learned scientist, but they
are brought endlessly and laid
down before the jury.
Always the picture grows; the

THE one surprise Of the case has
been Harry Thaw The world has
known him as the chief exemplar
OF how a reckless young millionaire
can sow Wild oats; hut in this trial
il has been shown that he was a
man who could be loyal and faith
ful. chivalrous, and very tender
and nitful TO the weak.
Il do not believe there is a NOR,
miserable man on earth than Harry
Thaw but remorse for his crime

His sorrow Is for himself and
his wife. II his blood could wash

"No one looking at Thaw tod day
can doubt that he WAS mentally
