Oe|mas Says It Is Enough
Evidence Of Insanity
NEW TRIAL IF THaW NEEDS It
Error in Proceedings Gives Pris
oner Right to Second
Chance

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Evelyn called
on her husband this morning for two
hours. Gleason and Peabody called
and had a short conference. Charles
Owens under subpoena by the state
in the Thaw trial was arrested today,
reprimanded for intoxication and dis
missed. Owens is supposed to know
the whereabouts Of Nellie Leahy, for
merly Evelyn's maid, whom Jerome is
anxious to bring into court. Owens
said he didn't know.
Three justices of the supreme court
whose names are withheld express the
opinion that Thaw is certain to gain
a new trial even if convicted this
time on the grounds of a slight error
When Evelyn Whispered.
The error was made, they claim in
permitting Evelyn to lean forward in
the witness chair and whisper to the
prosecutor the names of the mems and
women she knew in the company. 1t
had been previously agreed between
the counsel that the names should not
be mentioned.
The will is to be Delmas' strong
point toward substantiating the de-
fendant's insanity. He hopes to Sc
cure Jerome's consent to it's introduc-
ton Monday. "The will of itself,
said Delmas this morning is sufficient

desist. ST. Clair then took up the
quarrel. When ST. Clair was asked
about the snowballing he said he

Many of the female members Of the

The company awoke early and
wrathy this morning. Some strong
language was used concerning the fall
ure of the railroad company to send
out train from Walla Walla so they
could come in by being transferred,
even if their baggage could not be
brought in until later.
Wheeler and Powers went to Lamar
again to see if they could get some
thing more to eat and came back laden
with crackers and more sardineS. They
disappeared with the rapidity of a
sphere of frozen rain in the inferno
and the company all resolved to march
upon Lamar again for more.

BOOZE WAS HIS NEMESIS.
Thomas Gray is Buried at Expense Of
His Sisters.

Love of liquor is said to have beer
the cause of the ruin of Thomas Gray
the convict who died at the peniten-
tiary Thursday and was buried yester-
dav from St. Patrick's church.
Word was received by E. S. Hennes-
sey from the sisters of the deceased ir
the east directing that their brother
be buried at their expense.
Gray belonged to fine family in the
east but liquor and fast life startec
him on the downward path. His con-

morse over the conduct that hae
brought so much sorrow to his family

Soda crackers, canned sardineS and
striped peppermint candy, composed
the bill of fare of the impromptu mid
night luncheon which the members of
the Red Feather opera troupe ate at
the Acme Mills store yesterday evening.
AS soon as the w. & c. r. train from

whole company, 60 strong, hiked back
four miles through the mud to get
something to eat.
1t was a hilarious, if ravenous crowd,

Candles furnished illumination Of the
most conventional sort. Chorus girls
ranged themselves along the counter

Trains are Held Up at Many
Points Outside The City
SITUATION YET LOOKS HOPELESS
ATHENA STREETS FULL OF WA
TER-NO COMMUNICATION
WITH PENDLLETON.

No train from any direction has ar
rived at Walla Walla since day before
yesterday.
The o. r. & N. is making herculean
exertiOns to repair the damage caused
by the floods between here and UNA
tilla.
The work train which left here yes
terday morning was able to reach the
big cut II miles this side of Waliuis
last night. 1t is expected that this
train will be able to work through to
that place by tonight.
There are 10 washouts between Wal
lula and Umatilla which must be fixed
up before communication with Pendle-
ton can be restored. A bridge must
also be rebuilt. This will take at least
two days.
Things between Walla Walla and
Pendleton on the direct line appera
more hopeless than ever today.
Water fills the streets of Athena
and conditions are so bad in that VI
cinity that it will probably be week
before trains will be able to run on
that division.
