the hypothetical question framed py
the district attorney and undertook TO
supply some of the details.
Mr.. Jerome objected to the additions
to his question, especially the reference
to the monk" Eastman gang, and said
there was not a fact correctly stated
by Mr.. Hartridge which Is not contain
ed in one or the other of the two nypo-
thetical questions put to the witness.
Mr. Jerome objected to Mr.. Hartr1dge'
Concluding clause in the question as to
whether the defendant was sufferlng
from any form of insanity the night OF
June 25, last.
The district attorney declared the law
is explicit as to the form of insanity
which constitutes an excuse for crime
that the person must be suffering from
such a defect of reason as not to know
the nature or quality of his act or to
know that the act was wrong.
The luncheon recess was ordered with
the matter pending.
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw Recalled.
When court reconvened after the
luncheon recess Mr.. Hartridge said he
would withdraw the question asked DR..
Mabon.
''Then there is no cross examina-
ton p" queried Mr. Jerome.
None" said Mr.. Hartridge.
I'm that case your honor" said Mr..
Jerome to Justice Fitzgerald, I'VE come
back to the question as to whether or
not Abraham Hummel was acting as
attorney for Evelyn Nesbit at the time
he was testifying about yesterday.
Call Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,' COM
mented Mr.. Delmas.
Mrs Thaw soon appeared from the
witness room and took her place in the
chair.
Mr.. Delmas called Mrs. Thaw's atten-
ton to the fact that she had already
testified as to visiting Mr.. Hummels s
office with Stanford White.
did you, he said, "then and there
call upon him in a professional ca
pacity with a view to having his legal
advice as counsellor at law?"
District Attorney jerome promptly
objected on the ground that the wit
ness had already been fully examined
on the subject. Justice Fitzgerald
overrulcd the objection and Mrs. Thaw
said:
Il did," referring to her call upon
Hummef in his professional capacity
Mrs Thaw thereupon left the stand.
Justice Fitzgerald further ruled that
the defense could not now plead the
professional privilege in bar of Hum
mels testimony for the privilege was
involuntarily waived when young Mrs
Thaw herself took the stand and told
of the occurrences in Hummers office

FEE FOR THE LAWYER.
Jury Had Reason for Adding Money
 to Damages Claimed.

During a term of the superior court in an Eastern county the jury award ed one cent damages in several suits to the winning party. One morning when the jury rendered it's verdict in one of these cases, Dennis A. Maher one of the best known jury lawyers in the city, said it recalled a verdict he got in case several years ago. He had sued man for claim of $1.25 The judge in the municipal court decided against his client, and Den his appealed to the superior court When it was tried, the jury, the fore man of which was a great friend of Attorney Maher, reversed the decision of the lower court, and brought in a verdict for $6.
 The court called the foreman up to him and said: MT. Foreman, is there not some mistake; the plaintiff only sued for s1-25, but you have given a verdict for $6."
 No, your honor, there is no mis- take" replied the foreman. we thought Lawyer Maher should be al lowed something for his services"

Timber for Wine Casks.

"The growing scarcity of timber suitable for the manufacture of slaves is problem that confronts two conti- nents and in which all the wine drink ing world, and therefore the civilized world is concerned" said I. B. Gold man, stave grower and shipper of Hope, Ark.
 Timber best suited for manufacture into slaves comes from Arkansas and small portions of Louisiana, Texas, Alabama and Tennessee. The timber has been cut in larger amounts every year to meet the growing demand Prices have advanced, of course, but the demand still advances, for no oth- CT wood can take the place of that produced in our section.
 Most of the slaves are shipped to Barcelona, Spain, where they are used in the manufacture of wine casks. Both Europeans and Ameri cans have tried to invent something to take the place of the stave, but so far without success. Glass and earth en casks have been tried, but wine does not age the same in these recep tacles and 1t has quite a different davor."

Professed politicians who have re, duced public office to an exact science find the independent voter a sad stum- bling block-a fact which is amusing ly disclosed by story found in the recent life of the late George Monro Grant, the eminent Canadian educator and and clergyman, says the Youth S Companion.
 Toward the end of Sir John Macdon- aids life he and Principal Grant, then the head of Queens college, met at dinner at the house of the premier s brother-in-law, Prof. Williamson
 How I wish," the premier said to the principal, "that you would be a steady friend of mine."

Varnish Secret Lost.

The Cremona varnish disappeared
abJst 1850, and so far the recipe has
aot been rediscovered. Whether it
was gum or an oil or distillation
from some plant or chemical is not
known, nor how it was mixed. Many
theories regarding it have been ad-
vanced from time to time, and bod,
who died in 1880, claimed to have
rediscovered it. He employed others
to make his violins, but always var
nished them himself. His varnish is
very superior, and his violins COM
mand high prices. The vanishing
and polishing of a violin are done
usually by woman. 1t requires time
and practice, for the finest instruments
are gone over as often as 80 times
