Foreman States Requests

Foreman Smith of the jury stated
that the jury desired not only the type
written copies of the Thaw letters, will
and codicil, but the originals as well.
The papers were gathered together by
Clerk Perry and made into bundle.
The reading of the testimony of Of
ficer Dennis Wright, John Anthony and
Peter Barrett dOormen of the Ninteenth
precinct police station, followed.
Finally the jury asked to hear again
the testimony of the doormen on duty
at the police station the night of Thaws
arrest and who gave testimony as to
the defendants claiming to hear the
voices of young girls.
When the Jurors requests had pro-
gressed thus far it seemed that there
could be no longer any doubt that the
rational or irrational conduct of Thaw
the night of the homicide was play
ing a leading part in the deliberation
of the jurors.
The jury finally asked to have cer-
tain points of Evelyn Thaw's testimony
as to the shooting read to them
Juror Pink, who evidently was in
very bad shape, delayed the reading of
testimony for a few minute by asking
permission to retire for moment. He
tottered from the room, accompanied
by an officer, and seemed near a col
lapse. After an absence of five min
utes he resumed his place in the jury
box, looking very pale.

ONE CHILD DEAD;

OVERFL0WS
Leave Body of Baby at Railroad sta

Little One Is Struck
by Car

While Mr.. and Mrs. A. ]. Fisken of
Seattle were going from the Arcade
depot, where they had left the body of
beck hotel, their 4-year-old baby girl,
who was accompanying them, was
knocked down and narrowly escaped
death beneath the wheels of a Holly
wood car yesterday morning at the
corner of Second and Spring streets.
The couple went east for a pleasure
trip, but they had only been nere u
short time when their happiness was
cut short by the sudden death of one of
the two children. They Immediately
started west with the body of the child
in order that the body might be laid
in the cemetery in Seattle, near their
home.
When they arrived here yesterday
morning they discovered that they
would have to stop over until night,
When they reached Second and Spring
streets Mr.. Fisken left his wife and lit
tie girl on the east side of the street
while he crossed over with their suit
cases, intending to return for the child
as soon as he had deposited his load.
When the little one saw her father at
the opposite side of the street she broke
away from her mother, and with a
laugh she ran toward him.
Rolled Under Fender
She gave no thought to the cars until
her course was arrested by Hollywood
car, which pumped into her, lifted her
off her feet, played with her for a
minute and rolled her beneath the
fender. The motorman saw the child
just in time to save her life.
A woman on the car tainted, the
child's mother rushed toward her,
screaming, and pulled her out from un-
der the fender. The pedestrians who
were spectators stood horror stricken.
E. B. McDuffie of New York, who is
a guest of the Hollenbeck, was stand
imp on the corner at the time, and when
he saw the car bearing down on the
child he tried to run for her, but lie
was so shocked by the horror of what
appeared to be certain death that
he could not move a muscle.
The mother carried the baby into the
hotel and a physician was summoned.
1t was found that the worst bruises
were about the head, and these We're
bandaged and the party was able to
continue the trip to Seattle last night
The shock coming to the mother on
top of the death of the child in the
east, and the long trip across the con-
tinent left her in a serious nervous
condition, and it was thought at one
time that she would not be able to
complete the journey.
