The Thaw Trial.


New York, March l9.-Harry Thaw's
trial was resumed today with every pros
pect that the taking Of testimony would
be completed By night. The Last an
nonncement from the defense that only
four experts would be called before rest
ing, DTa. Charles Pilgrim and Minas
Gregory, new acquisitions, and Evans
and Wagner, the old stand-bys, bore out
this idea. It was expected only hypo-
thetical questions would be put to them.
When court convened today Dr.
Smith Ely Jellilie, who was on the stand
when tao court closed yesterday, vas re-
called and Jerome pursued his cross-ex-
animation.
jerome tried to make DR.. Jellifie say
that in making up his mind as to Thaw's
insanity, when he killed White, he bad
included facts not sustained in the by
pothetical question, and spsrring match
followed.
Dr.. JellifFe was elusive 10 evading Civ
ipgs definite classification Of the various
kinds Of insanity. Jellife admitted
other facts brought on in the testimony
not included in the hypothetical question
which he deemed of value. In sparring
with the prosecutor he proved as worthy
IS DIR. Evans, who set standard which
will be hard to excel.
Jerome finally gave up this line Of
examination aud asked If DR.. Jellife
subscribed to DR.. Evans's theory oil
'bfain storm" DR.. Jellife at once
came to the support of bis fellow expert.
DR.. Jellifle said be could subscribe TO
this description. DR.. Jelliffe went
further than any of the other experts BY
saying he could recall several cases Of
brain storms where the victim could re-
member their acts during the "brain
storms" after the recovery.
Jerome could not break down the Wit
ness and finally he and the doctor lost
their temper once.
Justice fitzgerald ordered a recess
with DR. Jelliffe still on the stand.
DR.. Jelife was excused when courl
reconvened in the afternoon and DR..
Charles W. Pilgrom president Of the New
York Lnnacy Commission was called ia
the stand.

TUESDAY EVENING. MARCH 10. 1907,

THE rINKEPINo with the immigration
law 10 order to help the administration
out Of the hole in which il needlessly in
yolyed itself in dealing with the Japan
ese question has led to a broader dis
cussion Of our restrictive legislation
There Is q growing doubt, says the Phiia'
delphia Record, "a 10 The wisdom oil
keepibg out assisted immigration at
time when the cry for more labor goes
no from all parts Of the country. There
il also question of the policy OF forbid
ding to individuals the right to import
the labor they need while at the same
time conceding the right to import to
the States. There is nothing the coun-
try stands in greater need OF at the
pregen. moment than healthy, able
bodied men and women willing to give
honest days work for honest days pay.
Ia regard to southern immigration, plans
which have been practically stopped by
a recent decision Of Attorney General
Bonaparie, the Baltimore News we'll says
The facts are out now. and it is plain
that the new immigration law has hit
hard the plans of southern immigration
bureaus, lust rs The News surmised. II
aDpears that the renewed activity OF the
South Carolina officials is based on as
snrauces to the elect that there will be
no change in the situation until July !,
and that methods now in use may be
safely employed until then. As to what
,he situation may be thereafter, 1t is nd
raiued that there Is no better assurance
than that meanwhile The government will
consider the matter and see what can be
done 10 facilitate the plans OF southern
States for inducing immigration to come
that way. Leading southern men freely
admit that the outlook is not favorable
10 relieving the stress Of labor conditions
that Is now Obstructing the industrial de-
velopment of the South. The Louisiana
Commissioner OF Agriculture and Imlni'
grafton says that the recent decision oil
the Attorney General has seriously in
ferCered With the plans Of his department.
4 bout coo italian farm laborers were
heiag arranged for, the State Govern
.aent to pay their expenses and The en-
ployefs 10 reimburse the State for the
outlay. By prompt action shipments
may be brought in during the period OF
grace but unless such soliciting and as
sisiing Of desirable immigrants sre per-
missible under the new law, little will
he accomplished to relieve the situation.
The old saying that perseverance con-
quers all difficulties spplies 10 the case
however. If one way is prohibited an
other may be tried, and by keeping ever
lastingly at it the southern States Will
eventually accomplish their purpose.
The considerations that prompted the
enactment of the COntract-labor law were
very different from those involved in
the present southern immigration move
inent, and The courts have held that
that is a highly penal statue which
must be siricklv construed. Some way
Of doing elective work without strik-
ING legal snags is likely to be discovered.
