THE COMMON INTEREST.

Probably no court trial has ever so
invoked the intense interest of the
people as has the Thaw case. 1t has
made a tremendous impression on all
classes and conditions of men. Not
only those to whose attention such oc-
currences rarely come, but also those
individuals who are accustomed to
tales of sin and wrong, have been
deeply stirred by this most unusual
and yet all too frequent-story.
Here, for instance, is the way it
strikes a city minister, Rev. NJ. c. Pet
ers, a New York pastor:
For a quarter of a century" he
says, 81 have been pastor of fashion
able churches, most of which time has
been spent in this city and throughout
these years I have not walked blind
folded through the streets nor shut my
eyes when I mixed with so called So
ciety, nor have 1 closed my ears to
the awful tales of human sin and dis
grace which have been poured into
them by lips that were wronged, voic-
ing the promptings of broken hearts
and ruined souls.
81 have seen and heard and read
many chapters in the book of sin, and
so it was that the one relating to the
Thaw-White tragic comedy interested
me but little, for 1 considered it mere
ly a stereotyped edition of others
which had gone before.
81 looked on White then as I do
now. in the crimson light of a scoun-
drel. a menace to society. whose best
interests are built on the sacredness
and purity of our women, but at the
same time 1 viewed Thaw in the yell
low. sickening glare of an irrespon-
sible, money-cursed degenerate whom
the world could we'll spare and be
none the poorer for his loss.
MY general impression Of him was
CLEANED from the popular idea that he
was an unbalanced youth who squan-
dered in the widest designations and
sinful carousals money he never earn
ed, and 1 believed that on general
principles he should be locked up for
the good of society.
al have heard that testimony given
by a willing heart but reluctant lips
in a public court and after its soul
narrowing recital the preconceived
opinion 1 had of Harry Thaw fell like
a house OF cards and 1 stood ready to
absolve and acquit hi mon the spot.
Harry Thaw, instead of being be-
hind prison bars today, should be
free, holding the honor and respect of
all who stand up for moral manliness.
Before I heard the testimony I saw
and talked with Thaw in the Tombs.
He talked to me in most rational
manner and in every way showed that
he had no fear of ultimate results. a
