during the afternoon session. The others
probably will be presented tomorrow when
Mrs. Thaw is again called to the stand.

OF the adjournment over Saturday and
Sunday to recover from her fatigue and be

While most of the afternoon was given
over to the argument as to admisslbllitY
OF letters written by Thaw TO Mr.. Long

narration of her story. She told OF how
she came back from Europe a month ahead
of Thaw. During that month friends OF
Stanford White had told her many stories
about the young Pittsburg millionaire and
when ne returned to America she refused
to see him except in the presence OF
third person.
''He looked very sad" she said. 'and
told me they had been making fool of me.

The Correct Game Law.

The last session of the Legisla-
ture made some changes in the
game .aw. Various incorrect re-
ports of the law have been pub
lished in some papers and as a re-
suit there are very few people who
really know what the law is.
The bill to prohibit the killing of
quail for three years failed of pas
sage and the law on these birds is
therefore unchanged.
The open season for Killing game
is as follows:
Plover, number unlimited, July
l5 to December 1.
Doves, blackbirds and shore
birds, number unlimited, Septem-
ber l to January l..
Wild waterfowl, number unlim-
tied, September ! to April 10,
without intermission.
Snipe, number unlimited, Sep
teinber to May /.
Pheasants, five in one day, TWEEN
ty in one week, fifty in one season,
October l to December 1.
Woodcock, ten in one day, TWEEN
ty in one week, fifty in one season,
October l to December /.
Squirrels, six in one day, Octo.
ber l to December /.
Bears, unlimited, October 1 to
March L.
Wild turkeys, one in a day, -four
in a season, October 15 to Decem
ber /.
Rabbits, unlimited, October Il
to December l. The penalty fol
taking rabbit out of a hole hai
been removed and it is now Lawful
to take them in any manner during
the season.
Quail Or partridge, ten in on

Without making an autopsy,
the jury returned n verdict that
the young man came to his death
from worry caused by being shot
at by some unknown person with
intent to kill.
AS has been stated, District At
torney Lynch went down with DR..
Sappington to Hollcnhead's Mon
day, when careful post mortem
examination was made, which
showed that the path of the bullet
across the young mans skull left
brown streak across the cranl-
um, the Uranium, itself, was not
fractured, and outside of the fact
that there was scattered blood
under the skin, there was no evi
dence that the brain had been in
iured by the shot. A further eX-
animation showed that the heart
was in bad condition, and that the
liver was much congested; hence,
there was no reason to believe that
death did not result from natural
causes, aside from the shooting.
