the 1 O'Clock train, having in charge
a man named w. w. White who Is
wanted in Indian territory for EN-;

a small institution and White was

he took the treasury stock and sold
it, pocketing the proceeds. The Unit
ed States marshal's office received
tip that White was travelling about
with a stereopticon show and the ar
rest followed, being made last night
at Silyerton. Upon arrival here White
was taken before United States Com
missioner Solon w Pingrey and In
default of bail remanded to the Den
yer jail, and Mr.. Clark will leave for
that place with his maQ in the morn
ing. in the meantime turning him over
to the care of Sheriff Clark of this
county

THAW TRIAL

New York, Mar 23.-The defense
this afternoon pointed to the court
afiidavlts which they assume will
show that Thaw iss.now quite sane.
This evidence includes a letter OF
Thaw bidding Delmas to take charge
OF his case and follow such course as
he deems best In presenting 1t to the
jury. The defense considers this let
ter strong proof that Thaw is capable
of advising his lawyers. The circum-
stances under which the letter was
written are said 10 have been these:
The second day of the defense, which
was shortly after the trail began, 1t
almost broke down owing to District
Attorney Jerome's fierce onslaughts
upon its first medical witness, DIR.
Wiley.
Differences ensued among Thaw's
lawyers andNit was reported at the
time that Mr. Delmas told Thaw that
If the then confused state of his de-
tense lasted he would not be respon-
sible for the outcome OF the trial.
Upon this T'haw wrote to Mr.. Delmas
ing trial lawyer. Mr.. Delmas will ac-
company the letter today with affi-
davit by himself that his client is well
able to consult his counsel and that
he has done so daily since the trial
began. Nothing further will be done
in the case until next Wednesday.
New York, Mar. 22.-Judge Fitz-
gerald today excused the Thax jury
until next Wednesday. He will con-
slider affidavits presented as to wheth-
er a lunacy commission is desirable
in the Thaw case.
New York, Mar. 21.-Mr. Delmas an
nounces he has withdrawn from the
Thaw case. 1t seems Jerome's move
yesterday when he appealed to the
court for a lunacy commission, was
precipitated by Gleason who interrupt
ing Delmas, asked DR.. Hamilton a
question which enabled jerome by the
answer to plead for lunacy commits
sion which the defense so much dread
ed. The lawyers begin this afternoon
arguing for and against the PROPOSE
ton.
New York, Mar. 21.-That Justice
Fitzgerald will appoint a commission
In lunacy to inquire into the present
mental condition of Harry Thaw
seems foregone conclusion. This
afternoon he will hear arguments oi
counsel on both sides of the famous
case and he plainly intimates that
he would appoint a commission. Thai
this commission will find Thaw IL
now insane is the opinion OF most
Of those who have closely followed
the trial.
