Proved to be ]. Il. Coins, Cow
Boy, Who Lived at Tularosa.

Parties coming in from Tula-
rosa Monday reported the finding
of the body of J. Fl. Coins on
the trail between Engle and
Tularosa at point twenty EIGHT
miles west of Tularosa. From
the evidence of the coroner's
court it would seem that Coins
had been at work at Engle as a
COW boy aHd when he died was
on his way to Tularosa to visit
his family, and that death was
caused by heart failure. He
leaves wife. Their only child
died recently of scarlet fever.
Mrs. Coins is a daughter of Geo.
W. Maxwell of Tularosa. 1t
was also found that Coins had
stopped for camp, staked his
horse and built a fire, made down
his bed and fell dead. He was
lying partly in the fire and one
arm was about burned off the
body. Evidence showed that
the man had been dead about
four days, and the body was in a
bad state Of decomposition and

THAW MAY
Be CRAZY
No One Can Tell, Though
Keeper Of the Tombs Dies-Thaw
Sent Flowers.

New York, Feb. 15.-The fol-
lowing statement as to District
Attorney Jerome's position with
regard to the sanity or insanity
of Harry II. Thaw was made to-
day:
'Mr. Jerome does not know
whether or not Thaw is insane.
None of his assistants know.
None of the experts retained for
the prosecution know. These
experts have not had an oppor-
tunity to examine Thaw either
as to his physical condition or
his mental caliber. They are
present in court at the trial with
an open mind. They would like
to know. If any experts retain
ed for the defense, some of whom
have already testified, will say
authoritatively thatin their opin-
ion Thaw is now insane, the Dis
trict attorney will join with
them in a request to the court
for the appointment of a COM
mittee to decide upon the ques-
tion of Thaw's sanity"
Death has again invaded
Thaw's environment. Close on
the passing of the wife of Joseph
B. Bolton, one of the jurors,
came the announcement of the
death last night in a hospital of
Michael D. Downey, who for
months had been Thaw's night
keeper ON the second tier of
cells at the TOmbs, which is
known as ''murderer's row."
Downey had been a keeper in
the Tombs for mare than twenty
eight years. When Thaw first
came to the Tombs, Downey did
not look with favor on the new
prisoner. But during the long
watches of the night, when Thaw
paced up and down the narrow
confines of his cell, a warm
friendship sprang up between
the keeper and the prisoner.
When Downey is buried to-
morrow, a wreath bearing Thaw's
card will rest on the casket.
Thaw sent the order for the
flowers to Warden Flynn soon
after he heard Of the keepers
death.

This is Harry X. Thaw's own
story of the killing of Stanford
White. 1t was told by him to
DR.. BrittOn D. Evans the alien
ist, last August in the tombs.
DR.. Evans today repeated the
prisoners words to the jury that
is trying Thaw for his life.
District Attorney Jerome
fought hard last week against
the introduction of this evidence,
which the defense believes is
conclusive proof that Thaw did
not know his act was wrong.

had declared that in their opin-

She was used to such irony as that,
a three-season super girl might ex-
pect them. but that night as she stood
on the balcony just outside the third
tier of dressing rooms waiting for the
time when she must descend to the
stage to contribute her mite to the
finale. she wondered if she was good
for anything, anyhow. This is bet

cOmfOrted herself; but what do they

Just then there was a simmer and a
choke from the electric lamp erected on
a balcony behind the proscenium, and
the girls eyes caught sight of a spark
as it whirIed from vent in the side of
the reflector and struck the edge Of a
border a yard away.
Almost unCOnSciOusly the Super
eyes watched the spark, saw that it
was causing the cotton to smolder, saw
a dark, burned place grow larger, with
a waving edge of red at the outer rim.
Something seemed to tell her that il
might flash into a fame, and then
she gasped. She dare not call, there
was that packed house out front. 1t
was thirty feet to the stage and the
stairway was narrow. Anyway, they
would either have to lower the drop or
run up the stairway to the balcony
where she stood to reach it, and mean

which a tiny tongue of flame was now
spreading.
The cloth hung beyond her grasp.
She strained her body out, her limbs
trembling with the tension. till, with
final effort, her fingers closed upon 1t.
But that final effort was too much for
her. At the instant the burning cloth

thought OF the unconscious audience,
gasped silently and fell headlOng.
All attention was centered upon the
plays big scene" then in progress,
and only the ears of a couple of stage
hands caught the sound of a soft, dull
thump as her body landed on a big roll
of carpets and rugs. Hastily they
picked up her unconscious form, and
to get her out of sight as quickly as
possible, carried her into the nearest
dressing room-the stars.
The act YVES soon over and the throng
outside the waiting room door waited
in breathless expectancy till the hastily
summoned doctor came out

asked.
NO. Pretty well shaken up, but not

ply.
The crowd turned away disappoint-
ed. Since the affair was only an ordi-
nary mishap, there was no particular
interest in it, and angry remarks about

air.
The star strolled over and looked abb
sently at the pile of rugs on which the
girl had fallen. On the pile lay a yard
of torn cloth, its center showing a hole
burned in it as big as the palm of a
mans hand.
