THAW'S FATE HANGS
I'm THE BALANCE
Jury Has Been Unable to Reach An Agreement.
Majority Said to Be For AcquttaI-Are
Reading the testimony

the prosecutor took his place, while
the attorneys for the defense were sent
for. The jury then requested six eA-
hibits introduced in the trial. namely;
The plan of Madison Square Roof Car
den, the Longfellow .etters, Thaw's
will and codicil, the Comstock letters
and Jerome and eDlmas' hypothetical
question.
The jury then retired and had read
to them the testimony OF Meyer Cohen.
a witness for the state. who testified
to seeing the shooting, ard as to Thaw
changing his course while leaving the
roof garden so as to walk past stan
ford White.
The testimony Of Paul Brody fire.
man at the Madison Square Roof
Garden. was also read to the jury.
Brody is the man who took the revolver
away from Thaw.
While the exhibits were being read
Thaw handed this note out to the re-
porters:
'I wish they had sixty-four other
original letters Of the deceas
From the fact that most of the evi-
dence read bore directly on the killing
the belief was strengthened that the
Jury was dead locked over the matter
of whether the shooting was premedl-
tated.
Jurors Tagged Out
The Jurors were haggard and a for
lorn- looking lot as they sat in the boA
listening to the reading OF the court
clerk when they entered for instruc-
tions. Most of their faces were pinch
ed, and their eyes were hollow, while
every man of the twelve betrayed the
intense nervous strain under which he
was laboring. Most OF the men sat
with their eyes downcast as the read
ing was going on apparently oblivious
to the throng which packed the the
courtroom. JUROR Wilbur steele. tht

the most. He once interrupted the

Thaw chastly Pale
Thaw appeared in quite as bad fl,
as the jurors. HIS eyes were red ans
his face ghastly pale. and the nervous.
i ness so frequently manifest during th'
progress of the trial, was greatly in
tensified. As he came into the court
room from the prison pen he turned

A Denial.

Editor LEADER Two weeks ago
letter was copied in your paper
from an Albany paper, the same
being a letter from Judge w. S.
McFadden, the present Prosecuting
Attorney, relative to the prosecution
of DR.. Carter at Newport last sum-
mer for the violation of the local
option law. In this letter Judge
McFadden refers to the crew of the
boat Ella May in a manner not
complimentary, and intimates that
the said crew had been buying
booze" of DR.. Carter.
The crew of the Ella May con-
sists of Mr.. Henry Howell, Mr..
Elmer Sawdon and myself, and /
want to say that individually or
collectively we have never bought
booze" of DR.. Carter, or any
other person in Lincoln county,
illegally. 1t was an unwarranted
and unjustified allusion to lawabid-
ing citizens, and one that we resent.
/ have requested Judge McFadden
to correct his statement but he has
failed or refused to do so, and l
make this statement to set the mat
ter right before our people. The
Judges star witness, Capt. Nost,"
is not and has not been a member
of the crew of the Ella May.
In passing will you permit me to
say that, in common with a great
many citizens of this county, l do
not see the motive of the Prosecut-
ing Attorney in trying Lincoln
county cases in Albany newspapers.
If he has all the evidence he speaks
of in his letters why don't he pros
ecute. The courts are as wide open
to him as the columns of the news
papers. If he is so vain to see his
name in print why don't he hire a
column or two in some newspaper
and have it kept standing in big
letters. o. r. ALTREE.

TOLEDO WON!
Toledo 6, Elk City 5.

A very exciting game of football
was played at Elk City last Satur-
day between the Toledo High
School team and a youthful aggre-
cation of Elk City most of them
being pupils of the public school of
that place. The teams were very
evenly matched as the score, which
was 6 to in favor of Toledo, in
dicates. Toledo kicked off to Elk
City who began march for their
opponents goal line. By line bucks
and end runs they got to Toledo's
30-yard line, when John Ramsdal,
Elk City's huskey, fleet-footed full
back, got around Toledo's left end
and ran the remainder of the field
for a touch down. No goal was
kicked, thus giving Elk City 5 points.
The remainder of the half was
spent in line bucking by both sides,
neither goal being in danger.
In the second half Toledo dupli-
Gated Elk City's work of the first
half. Sturdevant, Toledo's full
back, recovered one of Ofstedahl's
punts and without Stacking his
speed, lodged the opponents be-
tween him and the goal line and
tore off 80 yards for touchdown,
ending the score, 5 to 5. Ofstedahl
kicked pretty goal, the one point
made thereby saving the day for
Toledo, as no further score was
made. Time was called with the
ball in Elk City's possession on
Toledo's 25-yard line.
Both teams played exceptionally
good ball for beginners. Many of
the plays would have done credit to
older and more experienced players.
Toledo had the lighter team, which
was evident in their failure to make
yardage by bucking Elk City's
heavier line. Toledo's ends, Glider
sleeve and Grenache, played the
game in the right way. Grenache,
especially, was there with the goods.
Time after time he broke up the
interference and got his man. His
ability to land on the fumbles was
evident. Ofstedahl's kicking was a
feature of the game-not failing to
boost the ball down the field we'll
into the enemies territory at any
time.
Reeves, Toledo's gritty little
quarter played good game and has
the kind of stuff in him football
players are made from. Although
far lighter than any of his oppon-
ents, he was in the thickest of it.
Sturdevant made good at full.
Horning, left half, although light
for the position, played with the
right spirit.
Elk City's back field was heavier
and speedier than Toledo's. L. H.
jacobson was whirlwind. When
he got in action it took some good
tackling to bring him to earth. r.
H. Ramsdal and F. B.. Ramsdal
both played good ball. Quarter
back Simpson ran the team like
general and deserves much credit
for his skill and good judgment as
well as playing ability.
1t was a good, clean game, there
being no penalizing at all. No one
was injured. The lineup is as fol-
lows:

Those River DISTINCTIONS.

Representative B. F. Jones, who
is making fight against the OBJ
structing of the navigable waters of
this Bay, recently received the fol-
lowing:
The Washington herald., 1907-06-04
Civilization and Asininity.

Somewhere in New York City there ex-
lists person-we hesitate 10 go so far as
TO call him a man-whose name is Ed
ward White. Edward has opinions. Some
Of these he outlines in the following
communication 10 the sun
"Y0u say that the South still maintains an IN
dcfled Anglo-saxon civilization but on what you
base your assertion God only knows Prom personal
observation can say that in part Of the United
States is murder Of both black and white more fire.
aueut and fragrant; free speech is practically un-
known while the white men nave about the lowest
standard If morality; in fact a majority have none
at all where a black woman is concerned. As
genuine Anglo-Saxon myself I resent your hbel."
We have no doubt that several millions
Of people who live below Mason and
Dixons line will find much TO interest
them in this unequivocal statement. For
many years they have been worrying
along under the delusiOn that they were
fairly decent In every way. There has
been so much talk about their chivalry
20 women. indeed. that the whole world
has accepted the existence Of that quail
ity as an established fact They have per-
sisted in the opinion that murder and crime
in general were no more prevalent among
them. in proportion to their population.
than in New York for example. They
have been foolish enough TO think that IN
no other part Of the universe is the right Of
free speech held more sacred or enjoyed
more literally. In short. they have inn
agined that their standard of civilization
compared rather favorably with that of
other sections of the United States, and
Of foreign nations, and. strange as It may
seem. men and women who reside even
as far North as New York have been
led into the same error.
But now Edward White has shed his
great white light and we see the hideous
South as It really is, With all its hei-
nousness. however. We doubt seriously II
the section ever produced an individual
possessed Of such a rarely asinine nature
and mind As Edward White. That cIrcum-
stance is our only excuse for wasting so
much space on him.
