THAW'S PLEA IS
INSANITY WHEN
He SLEW WHITE
Wife to Be Impor-
tant Witness
Defendants Counsel AlIeee That Their
Client Was In a Fit Of Emotional
Madness When the Killing
Was Done
BY Associated Press.


Its case against Harry K. Thaw today
- plain, Unconditional story Of the
shooting on the Madison Square Gar
den roof. The defense replied with a
plea of hereditary insanity.
1t was asserted that Thaw in Staying
Stanford White, believed he was acting
as an agent of Providence; that real or
fancied wrongs committed against him
by the architect and former friend of
his wife had caused the impulse to kill.
When the deed was done Thaw made
no movement to escape it's conse-
aloft he stood as If mutely proclaiming
to the world: "The deed is done; it
was right, it was not wrong"
Thus Thaw's counsel outlined his
case to the jury this afternoon after
the prosecution had occupied less than
two hours of the morning session of the
court in relating through eye witnesses
the narrative of the tragedy. Tomor-
row morning the first witnesses in
Thaw's behalf will be heard.
Will Prove Insanity
you will hear the story of this mans
insanity" Attorney John B. Gleason for
the defense promised the jury, from
his mother, from his wife, from his rel
atives and from his physicians.
"You will judge him by his acts, by
the heredity and stress which entered
into his madness, and when you come
to judge him you will say to yourself
that his act may have been one of in
humanity, but it was not one of
crime"
That Thaw's wife, Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, was to be one of his most impor-
tant witnesses, and that his mother,
Mrs. William Thaw of Pittsburg, was
to take the stand, only became known
today when the court announced the
rule excluding from the court room all
witnesses save experts. His mother,
his wife and May Mackenzie left at the
word of command,
Thaw seemed detected at this. Many
times last week during the dull days
of Jury selection he turned to his wife
for comfort and found her ever ready
with a quick, responsive smile. Now
that the serious work of the trial was
to begin he was to be denied her pres
ence.
During the opening address by Mr..
Gleason Thaw seldom looked up, just
a f1eeting glance now and then at the
man who was making the initial plea
for his life and freedom.
At one other time during the session
ThaW did not look up. This was when
Lawrence White, the 19-year-old son
of Stanford White, occupied the stand
as the first witness for the prosecu-
ton.
Young White, who is a Harvard stu
dent, said he was with his father at
dinner the evening of the tragedy, but
left him before he went to Madison
Square garden.
Thaw's counsel told the story of the
prisoners love for the girl he was to
make his wife He met Evelyn Nesbit
in 1901 and there and then began in
him an honorable love and regard for
the girl. He told her mother of his
love.
The girl was in a precarious condi-
ton following a serious operation in
sanitarium and Thaw suggested to the
mother that she take Evelyn abroad to
recuperate 1t was arranged that Thaw
should accompany the two, as the open
and aVowed suitor of the daughter. In
1902 he asked her to marry him and
she refused.

with the regulations. Charges arr
made per head, and while the permit
prescribes with more or less definite
ness the territory to be grazed over
the absolute control of territory is no

Legislation which was proposed.
M~eddIesome Interference.
1t is claimed that government contro
of the range would be in the interes
of settlement and development; tina
the present use of the range is ex
ceedingly wasteful and a largely de
creased its carrying capacity. and tina
this would be increased under govern
ment control. Undoubtedly there ar
some who honestly hold these view
but it will be exceedingly difficult tt
convince the average western man tina
the meddling interference of an arm!
of range officers with every ones US
of the grass on the public lands, with
strong probability of fayoritism, will
aid and encourage settlement and de
velopment, and the oft repeated stats
ment that the carrying capacity Of tn
range has been lessened one-half, o
to any perceptible extent, is strenuous
ly denied by a majority OF those VIII
have had the widest experience. M.
own experience is that the public
ranges with which l am familiar ar
better grassed and are carrying NOR
stock than they did twenty years age
Division Of the Range.
The claim that the division of tn
range by local custom and agreement il
haphazard and wasteful and must b.
replaced by police control of fedora
officers is a challenge to the American
system of local control and a plea TO
bureaucracy and GENERALIZATION.

Such an organization should
exist in every community in the
county. Farmers can protect and
promote their interests through
an organization more effectively
and more satisfactorily than they
can do as individuals. In com.
munity that is thoroughly organi'
zed, and farmers become interest
ed in The. welfare of each other
there will be no enticing of labor
from one farm to another, or bid
ding for labor in way that total
| ly demoralizes the laboring class
In the work of the Log Greek
Club, the social feature will be
made prominent, which will also
be helpful to the community.

The program of the centennial
session of the Edgefeld Associa-

on September the 3rd appears in
this ISSUE. The Edgefeld Baptist
church held a very enthusiastic
conference on Sunday morning
last laying plans fer the enter

Our town has entertained royalty
on many former occasions but

self with new glory on this occa-
sion. All of the churches should
send full delegations, for those of
the present day and generation
will never again have the privi-
lege of attending a centennial ses-
sion Of the association.
