The house at 124 North Helena,
where Emery lives, Is a poor one,

house with his first pay. But what

ACCEPTS
INSANITY AS
DEFENSE

(Scripps News Association.)

(Scripps News Association.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-At the
close of the morning session but
IS of the last panel remained.
A glance today at the hands held
by lawyers for state and defense
shows the trial will become strug-
gle of alienists. The issue will be
whether Thaw was temporarily in
sane when he shot White. For the
first time the prisoner today ap-
peared reconciled to the plea of in
sanity.
DR.. Edward Street, of Montreal,
today offered himself as witness.
He Is an insanity expert and sat
near White when he was killed.
Street saw Thaw's eyes clearly as
he shot and believes Thaw insane
at the time. Street testified in a
similar case in Canada where the
defendant was acquitted.
The court ordered new panel
of 100 drawn for tomorrow.
Wildam L. Clark, reviewing edi-
tor of the Cyclopedia of Law and
Procedure, in discussing tho Thaw
case said:
"The jury must decide solely
upon the evidence presented in
court. 1t cannot convict unless
convinced of guilt beyond a reason
able doubt, and reasonable doubt
as to sanity at the time Of the kill
ing will require acquittal. If Thaw
was insane at the time of killing
White he not only cannot be pun
ished, but was guilty of no crime"
Harry c. Brearly, an advertising
agent, age 80, was chosen as the
tenth juror at 11:40, to take the
place of Fare.
At the opening Of court this
morning Justice Fitzgerald an
nounced he would no longer permit
the sketching of principals in the
court room and asked The artists
present to leave.

w. E. Emery, the unfortunate
widower, made another Intellectual
attempt last night to secure the re-
lease Of his three little children
now held by the Home Finding
and Industrial association establish
ment. He had found good private
homes for the little ones and want
ed to remove them as soon as pos
sible.
The reply he got was a bluff
threat from J. w. Williams, man.
ager of the home, that if he didn't
keep still about the case Williams
would make trouble for him.
The manager of the home, which
is supported partly by the county
and partly by contributions, seems
to have assumed authority, not only
to take a mans children awJy
from him, but also to dictate all
further relations between the par
ent and children, if that course
suits Mr.. Williams.
At least this Is the case in the
present instance, where a father,
distracted by poverty and sickness,
is further worried by the fact that
helpless members of his family are
held in a place which from previous
experience he believes Is not a fit
place for them.
Emery went to work today at
the Union Iron works, where job
was secured for him by Mrs. c. q.
Hubbell. One Of the little girls de-
tanned at the home, Eta, aged six,
is partly paralyzed. Her sister,
Ella, a few years older, and little
brother are with her. Mrs. Hubbell
is anxious to take the little girls
into her own home. The little Grip
pie has never before been separated
from her Is year old sister, who is
left at the Emery home and is suf-
fering under the separation. All
three of the children are anxious
to get away from the home.
The daughter, Minnie, has a sick
sister, aged 10, on her hands at
the house Emery lives in out on
North Helena, and brother, aged
eight, to care for. She is making
a heroic effort to keep the place in
shape and attend to the duties
placed on her young shoulders
while her father is at work. But
the task Is too heavy for her and
Emery admits that he would like
to have the little one taken care OF
if it can be arranged without Civ
ing her over to the Home Finding
people. He wants them where he
can keep track of them and bring
them home as soon as he is able.
Several ladies have eagerly offered
to furnish the homes desired, but
their offers all depend upon what
the county commissioners will do
with the children Friday. Since
Williams seems determined to ar
range the affairs of the unfortunate
family to suit his own notion it is
expected that he will make a fight
before the board to have his way
Neighbors and acquaintances of
Emery are preparing to be repre-.
scented before the board and see if
the man cannot be given show
to work out of his hard luck in the
