of Philip Strother, one of the de
PENDANTS in Virginia's most cele-
brated homicide case, caused u post
pOnement of the trial this morning
1t is not thought he is seriously i'll.
When court convened at $3.50
o'clock and Judge Harrison settled
himself in his chair to deliver his in
structions to the jury, Attorney
John /. Jeffries arose and an
nounced that the younger of the de-
PENDANTS was too i'll to appear in
court. According to the COnstitu-
tion, every man placed on trial for
his life has an inalienable right to
hear all the evidence, argument and
instructions for and against him.
Doctor at His Bedside.
Mr.. Jeffries called DIR. H. T. Chelf
to the stand. DR.. Chelf, who at
tended Mrs. Viola Bywaters after
the operation, said he had spent
the greater part of the night by
Philips bedside. The physician de-
clared Philip complained of a violent
headache and pains all over his
body. The sick man did not sleep
any, but was nauseated for many
hours. DR.. Chelf said he thought it
was the grip. He wanted to come
TO court" saiG the physician, "but
/ advised him not to-"
do you think it would be danger
Gus for him TO come out?" asked
Prosecutor j. 4. c. Keith.
"Yes."
Judge Harrison suggested that
Philip be brought to court on a
couch and made comfortable on the
judges bencn stand.
There is still a probability of a
mistrial," said the court. "The
mother of one of the jurors is des-
perately i'll, and all possible prog
ress should be made"
Messrs. Lee, Jeffries, Keith, and
Woods suggested a postponement
until o'clock this afternoon. This
was finally agreed to.
Jury's Instructions.
The instructions 10 the jury are:
Homicides made punishable by the
laws of Virginia are divided into foul
classes. viz, murder in the first degree

manslaughter and Involuntary man

After defining each offense and telline
the jury the penalty that could under
the law be inflicted upon the defendant!
in the event Of conviction, the charg,
reads:

COMES
ON ADMISSION
Of TESTIMONY
District Attorney Scored
by DelmaS for Alleged
UnSeemly Remarks.

NEW YORK, March attorney
DeImas defeated District Attorney
Jerome in the first real duel Of coun-
sci in the trial of Harry X Thaw
at noon today.
Jerome had asked AGenist Wag-
ner tC repeat conversations between
him and Thaw in the Tombs. Del
mas objected on the previous ruling
of the court that such conversa-
tions could be admitted only when
ii had been shown that the defend
ant was insane at the time of the
conversation. Jerome argued that
it was an elementary rule of evi-
dence that a condition once shown
10 exist was assumed-to exist until
the contrary was shown.
Avoids Personal Opinion.
In his statement to the court he
said that under the evidence now in,
the only presumption was that the
IdefeDdan was then insane and is still
insane He carefully avoided, how
ever, saying whether or not this
was bis opinion.
The two attorneys argued back
and forth for half an hour, and at
the conclusion Judge Fitzgerald sus-
tanned DelmaS.
DR.. Charles G. Wagner, in his
testimony today, stated positively
that there was no evidence of epi-
Iepsr in Thaw- This apparently
closes the gate to one of Jerome's
roads to Matteawan. and was con-
sidered the most important point in
the days evidence.
DR.. Wagner's Testimony.
When Dr. Charles Wagner was re-
called to the witness chair Jerome read
| from the direct testimony of the witness
/ his description of a brain-storm and
cited from a book by Kraft -Ebing on
4 insanity the record of a woman who
! suffered from similar anliction.
/ Questioning the witness about the case
he had cited, Mr. jerome began
! Q-Well, you noticed a prompt recov-
/ cry within two days?
! A-Yes, the woman had not the Slight
! est knowledge of what had happened.
! Q.-Can you point TO any case in which
| the brainstorm came and went within
Item minutes?
/ A.-No. I don't think I can.
/ Q-Let US go back TO the Hypothetical
question. You believed the defendant
knew he was firing a loaded revolver,
and when his eyes turned toward Stan

to know the person he saw was Stan
ford White?

The alternative Mrs. EDDY has TO ac-
ceptiug service is to produce the certin-
cate c. a reputable physician setting

able to heed the court summons. This
would be a play into the hands of her

you think they are, let them hear

can to do the same thin g. The
large cities with their cry of local

no more right to debauch the bod
les and damn the souls of men
than the smaller towns have. No
body has a right to do wrong.
The very reason we need state
prohibition-the very fight we are
making-is to shut up the rum
shops in these counties who will
not do it for themselves. Its a
hideous, monstrous thing that the
law should protect this ''slum OF
all villainies." This is the only
thing that can save the day
