Apart frcpn the strict legal view. let US
look at the matter in its larger aspects.
This can best be done by reversing the
case. Suppose that We were TO learn by
frequent cable messages that the Ameri-
can Ambassador TO Great Britain was in
the habit Of disregarding London traffic
regulations. driving TO right or left as he
preferred. and AZ any speed that suited
his pleasure and that when his carriage
was subjected TO momentary detention
he threatened the police and complained
TO the British foreign office Of the viola
ton Of his diplomatic privilege. Such
news, | take il, would be received here,
not with resentment. but with chagrin.
The feeling would be that our Minister
was frittering away his influence. which
should be devoted to the maintenance of
the interests Of this country on great in
ternational questions. by raising frivolous
and fruitless personal controversies. in
which even a victory would amount to
nothing but a petty personal triumph in
an attempt 10 commit disorder. The feel
ing of most people would be that our in
terests had better be committed to a
representative who would uphold the
standard Of his nation by respect for the
municipal regulations of the country to
which he is accredited, and would thus
reserve his energies for the larger duties
of his mission
Would ii not be possible for our accom-
plished Secretary of state. with that
combination of force and courtesy which
he possesses in so eminent a degree. to
hint TO the offended diplomats that the
Surest way to protect themselves from
/ inconvenience is by a strict observance
OF the regulations Of the municipalities
In which they happen to be? This will
surely be better course than a fruitlesg
, prosecution against public officials who
| appear to have done nothing but perform
their hntv
The Washington herald., 1907-06-04

The remarkable thing in the whole con-
troversy is that not once has it been
denied in any of the accounts Of the af-
fair that the regulations were being
violated. A claim of a right to violate
such regulations has no legal justification
for diplomats any more than for any.

1t is generally believed in our State
that Gov. Little will never be able to

Wilmington. reputable lawyer Of Hot
Springs. Ark. at the Ebbitt House.
1T is the common understanding that
the governor is physical wreck, ana
also that his mind is Clouded 20 a de-
gree that precludes his exercising the
functions Of his Office. His physicians,
however, are extremely reticent, and
give out very little information about
their patient. In the meantime Hon. y.
O. Pendall. who was elected president Of
the senate, is acting governor He is
quite young man, hardly above thirty,
but seems to be doing very well. Should
the governor die shortly. or his case be
pronounced hopeless. there viii be a
special gubernatorial election ordered.

In 1908, after Evelyn Nesbit had told

Mrs. Thaw half rose, hesitated and
was about to sit down again when the

the stand.
Twice during her recital of the
events which had caused her to fear
that all was not right. with her son,
Mrs. Thaw broke down and was un-
able to proceed.
She said that when Harry came
home in 1903 he seemed depressed
and apparently had lost all interest
in life. He passed sleepless nights,
would often leave the table at meals
and go into the parlor- to play upon

1t was not until some time after he
had offered this explanation of the
change in him that she learned the
story of the young woman who was to
become her daughter-in-law.
While the elder Mrs. Thaw was on
the stand the district attorney en-
gagged in wordy war with Mr.. Del

RESUME OF TAAW TRIAL.
: What promised to be a very dull
session of the Thaw trial was made
notable in the court annals OF New
York city by District Attorney Jerome
placing himself in the position OF
openly defying the presiding Judge.
He declined point blank to submit GER
tain authorities to Justice Fitzgerald
on the ground that the question OF law
involved was so elemental and the aa-
thorities so abundant that he must as
sumo the court to have knowledge OF
them. Dr. Wagner was on the stand
NIL day, Mrs William Thaw waiting in
the witness room.
Mrs William Thaw took the witness
stand in behalf of her son Harry and
told of the change in his mental state
after he had heard Evelyn Nesblts
story. She broke down twice, and
was treated with great consideration
by Mr. Jerome In a dispute with
Mr.. Delmas, the district attorney
made his first public threat of asking
for commission in lunacy.
The insanity of adolescence, para
nOia and the characteristics of brain
storms" occupied another day Of the
Thaw trial and when adjournment
was ordered Dr., Britton D. Evans, one
of the aienists for the defense was
still under cross-examination. Mr..
Jerome was still laying. the basis for
asking for commission in lunacy.
District Attorney jerome completed
his cross-examination Of DR.. Britton
D. Evans, alienist, in the Thaw trial
and began cross-questioning DR.. Wag=
ner, another insanity expert. Both
witnesses admitted that Thaw had an
insane knowledge" of what he Was
doing when he killed White. 49,
