some time subsequent to the killing of
White, and cannot be held responsible
for his acts. He has now recovered
his mental equilibrium and cannot be
confined in the mad house. AT the con,
clusion OF the testimony of Mrs. WI.
liam Thaw last evening, the defense
had virtually ended the first half OF
It's case. From this time forth the eff.
forts Of Thaw's attorneys will be along
lines directly opposite to those pursued
to date, tending to show that Thaw is
now sane. Through Drs. Hammond
and Joliffe Thaw's counsel are conf.
dent Of proving this.
The trial of Thaw for killing White
will be the longest in the history Of
the State. It Is now forty-fve days
since the trial began and the end Is
not yet in sight This is particularly
remarkable since the State took but
two and half hours to present its
case.
In the twenty.six and half actual
court days the official stenographers
have taken down more than eight han
dred thousand words OF evidence. Del
mas will read hypothetical question
tomorrow covering the entire case,
which Is expected to entirely fill one
of the booklets made up by the sten.

introduce many witnesses, in rebut-

story. Evelyn may be recalled In re-
rebuttal. When Thaw was informed of
the acquittaf OF the Strother brothers.
he exclaimed: I'm mighty glad to
hear it." his face Frightening up with

that the defense of the young Virgin

If would like to tell You Just how glad
I am and what think about It, but

tended that the government must

The many friends whom the members of the company have made since their arrival in Montgomery four weks ago were out in force, and the cosy theatre at the Park was well filled both at the matt nee and evening performances.
 Two of the operas which had been put on during the engagement Of the company and which pleased large au- diences at that time were the bills for the two closing performances. "rhe Chimes of Normandy" was presented to one of the largest matinee audi ences of the season, and ''The Mikado' was the bill last evening, again to large audience.
 Each of the old favorites was well received yesterday. Each was put on with the faithfulness that has marked the performances of the company since its arrival in Montgomery. and the efforts of the members of the com many to make the last performances in Montgomery oqual to best they gave while here were appreciated by the audiences.
