THAW CASE GOES OVER
TILL WEDNESDAY
FOR TRIAL
Unfinished Case Causes judge
to Postpone the ThaW
Arrdignment.
COUNTESS OF YARMOUTH
is FAILING IN HEALTH

New York, Jan. 21.-Harry K.
Thaw will go through the formality
of arrangement before Justice Fitz-
gerald in the criminal branch of the
supreme court today for the murder
of Stanford White on June 25, 1906,
upon the Madison Square roof gar
den. Delay in finishing another case
will cause the postponement of the
Thaw trial until Wednesday.
For a period of many weeks sue
ceeding the commission of the crime,
and even up to the present, news
papers reeked with unsavory stories
of the lives of the persons directly
or indirectly connected with the case,
the influence of which ON the pub
lie mind was bad. All these stories
were the product of the imagination
and more of the same may be ex-
pected at the trial so the sooner the
case Is over the better for the pub
lie. Two hundred special talesmen
have been summoned and from
these the jury will be selected. Dis
trict Attorney Jerome will prosecute
In person and the prisoner will have
an array Of legal talent to defend
him. 1t is being freely stated that
the prisoner will not have the OPP
portunity to face a jury, as 1t is the
general opinion that the same course
will be followed as I'm the trial of
Josephine Terrenova, which was sud-
denly stopped by Justice Scott, who
appointed a commission of experts to
inquire into the girls sanity. If this
Is done, those informed say Thaw
will be judged insane and sent to
Matteawan asylum for insane crimi-
mails, there to be kept until cured.
Mrs. Thaw. the prisoners mother.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, his wife, and
his sister, the Countess of Yarmouth,
are present. The latter arrived from
England a few days ago to be pres
ent at the trial of her brother and
give him encouragement, but it is
said that the trouble has preyed so
much on her mind that her health
is failing. The first witness to be
examined is Mrs. Stanford White,
who will give evidence of indent-
ficatlon.

Stricken City When Requested
by the Governor of jana
lea and Both
GREAT BRITAIN AND THE
UNITED STATES WONDER
English Papers Think the Cover
nor Under Nervous Strdin---
Information is Awaited.

New York, Jan. 21.-The feature of
the news from Kingston today is the
declination of Sir James Alexander
Swettenham, governor of Jamaica, TO
accept American aid, and his request
that Rear Admiral Davis, in COM
mand of the American warships, re-
embark his marines, was followed by
the withdrawal of the American
ships
A dispatch from Santiago today
stated that the cruiser Marietta,
which arrived last night at Santiago
from Guantanamo, had sighted the
Davis ships making for Guantanamo
Sunday afternoon They probably
arrived there Sunday night
Swettenham's action appears not to
have met with the views of the people
of the city of Kingston. 1t is re-
ported that the city council met after
the incident became known. They
said they were disappointed at the
action of the English governor. and
that they disapproved of the same.
They not only sent letters of regret to
Admiral Davis, but asked him to re-
main with the American ships, 2s
every aid was urgently needed. The
admiral replied that he had no alter
native but to go, in accordance with
the desire of the constituted author
ity.
The comment of the English papers
is that of unanimously regretting the
occurrence and they express hope
that the good relations between the
United States, and Great Britain will
not be endangered thereby.
Governor Swettenham's explanation
of his course, and the outcome of the
incident, are awaited everywhere
with keen interest.

N. J. MURPHY
KILLED BY
TRAIN
Former Albuquerque Railroad
Man Loses His Life In Acct
dent at Dillon Station.

NJ. j, Murphy for the past twelve
years an employe of the Santa Fe
Railroad company in New Mexico,
and who formerly had a run out of
this city, lost his life last Friday in
an accident at Dillon station.
At the time Mr.. Murphy was in
charge of the Blossburg coal run.
While at Dillon station he was stand
ing on the footboard of the tender
with Brakeman VIII Matt at his side.
when in some way he managed to
get his knee caught between the
tender and the first car in such a
manner as to have 1t crushed to a
pulp. He was later taken on a spe-
cial train to the hospital at La Junta,
where he died shortly afterward.
Mr.. Murphy was a brother of Mrs,
l.. Franier of Las Vegas and is also
survived by a wife and seven chill
dren. The fact that they were all
dependent upon him for support lends
additional sadness to the event,

nalillo county. to recover monies the
district attorney claimed were IL
legally paid out by the treasurer, the
funds of one year paying the indebt
edness of the previous year, contrary
to the provisions of the so-called
Bateman act. The county, however
received the benefits of all these pay
ments.
Acting on legal advice, Mr.. Hub
bell, having secured list of those
who received warrants from him in
payment of general indebtedness
against the county and being the
same warrants for which the district
attorney brought suit, he has sent
out the subjoined circular letter,

payments that, in the event that he
has to pay this money back to the
county, he will hold all those so no.

and dollars
1 also as such treasurer and ex-
officio collector paid warrants drawn
by the school superintendent upon
the school fund, which payments
were afterwards approved as a part
of my accounts by the then board of
county commissioners. Suits have
also been brought against me, in
which the legality of these payments
are challenged and for which recov-
cry is sought against me and the sure
ties on my bonds.
In making these payments L fol-
lowed only the customary method of
conducting the office which had pre-
vailed for many years previous to the
time that these accounts were ques-
toned.
You were paid on these warrants
by warrants drawn upon the
fund the sum of -, l am ad-
vised by my attorney that II 1 am

ceived to and for my use. And this
letter is sent to you in order to give

posed of i'm the courts, will be under
the necessity of demanding repay
ment TO me of the sum so paid, and

Washington. Jan. 21.-Senator
Tfllman took the floor in the senate

ness, to reply to the recent criticism
of himself by Senator Spooner As
prelude he paid compliments to the
senators who had spoken on the
Brownsville incident.
He said the press had denominated
him as the burnt cork artist of the
senate, and added that IL he was en-
titled to this appellation or that of
"Pitchfork Ben" at one end of the
minstrel line, certainly Fire Alarm
Joe" (Foraker) ought not TO be ig-
nored at the other. We both do
