TOLD DETECTIVES.
Bowman had also informed Detec-

seen and overheard Martin Green, a
newspaper reporter, was an eye wit
ness of the shooting and IL was he
whom the court finally permitted to
make the statement as to Thaw's ap-
pearance and conduct at the time of
the tragedy. Green had looked di-
rectly at Thaw while he was firing
the fatal shots, and Immediately

at the Cafe Martin, was told of by

approached the elevator to descend
from the roof, the pistol shots rang
out, and Mrs. Thaw cried, MY God;

joined them and, in response to his
wife's exclamation, "Oh, Harry, why
| did you do it?' had kissed her and
answered, IT have saved your life. ]"
Mr.. Delmas, during McCaleb's testi-
mony, made demand upon the dis
trict attorney for the note Mrs. Thaw
gave Harry, and when the district at
torney sat mute and unconcerned, in
formed the court that If the district
attorney refused to produce the bit
of evidence it would have to be prov
ed by the defense in some other way.
