BURNING ASHES.

The Pennsylvania cobbler, who has dscov-
cred how to burn ashes, has acquired large
anount of notorety, but it is doubtful whether
h ; will ever make much money out of his
| chemical experiments. A little consideration
Of the chemistry of coal will show that there is
I little if any money to be got out of consuming
ashes in furnace. In the average anthracite
coal there is only about per cent of ash and
the difficulty and expense of reducing that
small quantity to gas and thereby generating
heat is likely to remain for the future, as in the
past far too great to leave any profit in tt
operation.
The chemistry of an ordinary coal fire is
SIMPLE for it is simply the application of heat
to the carbon in the coal until the carbon is
chemically united with the oxygen of the air
and more heat is produced. With burning ashes
it is different proposition. There is not mere
ly element to be united with oxygen but
great variety, for ashes consists OF many miner
ais in pulverized condition, in various com
binatons with various gases. The carbon is
all gone, hence the application of heat
will affect nothing. It will be necessary to add
other chemical elements and turn the furnace
into a laboratory. AS the ashes contain silica
aluminium and compounds thereof to numerous
TO mention it would probably be necessary to
apply a number of chemicals in order to start
anv combustion. The doubt at arises
whether the game is worth the candle.
1t is no new thing to mOisten anthracite
coal ashes with water and throw small guam
tity upon a hot fire A good part of the ashes
will be consumed. The reason is two-fold. In

rzyr ryu TcHMAN AND sOUTHRON, FEBRUARY Is, 1907

The defense had Mrs. Thaw to tell
of another incident which has been
cited in her life-her acquaintance
with JackBarrymore, the actor. Mr..
Barrymore was in the court room one
day during the early part Of the trial,
at the instance Of the district attor-
ney it was said. Mr.. Delmas asked
Mrs Thaw today 10 tell what she had
told Mr.. Thaw of her acquaintance
with the actor. She said she had first
met Barrymore at a party given by
Stanford White the year following
her Introduction to the architect. She
then told of an offer Of marriage
made to- her by Barrymore.
The Thaw Wills.
The defense endeavored to get into
evidence today the wills Of Harry
Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit Thaw exc
cuted the night Of their wedding in
Pittsburg. There were so many in
terlineations, additions and erasures
that Justice Fitzgerald held the docu-
rnents were not admissible until the
changes were proved. Mr.. Delmas
said he would later endeavor to do
this, as the wills and the interlinea-
tions and codicile by Harry Thaw
had to do with the proof tending to
show the insanity Of the defendant.
1t came out in the discussion Of the
wills that the name Of Stanford White
occurred in Thaw's testament.
Mr.. Hartridge Of Thaw's counsel
said after court adjourned today that
Mrs. Thaw would go on with her di-
rect examination Monday morning
Just what will be the nature of Dis
trict Attorney Jerome's cross -exami-
nation when he takes the witness is
mere conjecture. It is said he may
try in some way to attack her credi-
bility, pobably as to her ability to re-
member other things as well as she
has the stories she has declared she
told Harry Thaw from time to time.
New Trial Certain if Convicted.
Error of law in the Thaw trial in
the event of conviction will insure
him another trial. This is the opin-
ion of three justices Of the supreme

At the opening of court this morn
ing a frantic mob attempted to force
admittance to the Thaw trial 70 hear
EVELYN Ghaw resume her story Of the
events leading up to the killing.
Evelyn looked tired and worn as
she went up on the witness stand.
Attorney Delmas offered more letters
written by Thaw. In them Thaw re-
preached Evelyn for listening to the
"false friends who slandered him.
The letters were written in rambling,
incoherert STYLE hardly ineligible.
IN al the letters to Evelyn, however,
Harry recites his respect for her, and
comments that he always treated her
in respectable and trustworthy
manner. One place he says: They
say you are going to be in the gutter
in eight months morally, mentally
and dishonorably./ But you could not

She said on her return from Eu-
rope in 1903, she had told Harry OF

the park. Thaw said: ooh, Evelynn'
and looked surprised. The next day
White called her on the telephone
and insisted on calling on her at Ho-
tel Savoy. White told her that Thaw
was a morphine hend. After that
White called constantly. White took
her to Lawyer Abraham Hummeps
Office. She told him about her trip
to Europe and Hummel inquired
where she had been with Thaw. He
remarked that as she was minor
it would be hard for Tnaw. Hummel
called a stenographer and dictated
statement, saying she had been car
ried to Europe against her will, and
had been kept away from her moth
er and ill-treated, although this was
untrue. She tried to interrupt, but
Hummel would not listen. She gave
Hummel letters from Thaw and he
locked them in his safe, saying that
he would hold them over Thaw's
head She saw Hummel again and
he advised her to sue Thaw for
breach Of promise, as an advertising
scheme, but she declined.
Thaw questioned her later about
signing paper for Hummel, but she
denied doing it. Said she did sign a
paper in Whites studio, but didn't
know what it was.
Evelyn said she persisted in re-
fusing Thaw until April, 1905, be-
cause she loved him too dearly to
compromise his reputation.
Thaw's mother and sisters receiv-
ed her kindly.
Delmas brought out that after her
marriage White tried to make ad-
vances to her. White stopped her on
Fifth avenue once and later followed
her in a hanson cab She told Thaw,
who made her promise that she
would tell him if White tried to ap-
proach her again. She kept the
promise.

DelmaS Proves to BE Equal 10 0efoule
and Brings Out Much Evidence Fa-
yorable to Defense Strenuously OBJ
jected to BY the Attorney General.
New York, Feb. e.-The entire ses-
sion of Friday in the ThaW
trial was occupied by the
evidence of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
and when the usual weekend
adjournment was taken last night un-
til Monday morning, she was still
on the stand and will probably be the
first witness ct Mondays court.
Mrs. Thaw had taken up the story
at the time of her return from Eu-
rope in October, 1903, following her
refusal of Thaw's offer of marriage on
the grounds which she related yester-
day. On Monday she may be called
upon to finish the relation of the
events which, it is claimed by the de-
fense, brought on the explosive irl-
pulse in the diseased brain of the de-
fendant and caused the killing OF
Stanford White.
While the testimony was lack
ing in the personal quality which
made yesterdays recital so dramatic,
so impelling, enthralling and pa
thetic, it served to clear away some OF
the doubts and influences which re-
mained from the incomplete details as
to the full extent of the revelations
she claims to have made to her nus
band. There were repetitions, too, at
the suggestion Of counsel, and incl
dents which had not been gone over
in the first years of Mrs. Thaw's ac-
ouaintance with Stanford White were
brought out in completion of the lie
story.
