Days Dependant ON Charity the
While.
SENT To DEANFIELD TO LIVE.

Joe Crenshaw, husband of Mrs.
Sallie Crenshaw, who patiently watt
ed for him five days at the Union
passenger station without funds, ar
rived in Paducah yesterday exactly
one week after his wife and seven
lyear-old son arrived. A few inquiries
at the depot concerning his family
served to identify him, and Crenshaw
was a greatly Inundated man when
he eft.
Crenshaw Is about As years old.
He claims to have been working near
Carbondale, H., on section of the
Illinois Central as foreman, and Mon
day. January 4, he sent his wife and
child here, promising to follow the
next day. He partook of a few drinks,
he explained and got into trouble
with negro. For his part of the
disturbance he was confined in the
Carbondale jail until Sunday. and
on being released came to Paducah-
He struck here broke as did his fam
lily.
Crenshaw talked a great deal to
Harry Milstead. fireman at the Union
station. He said that he intended
coming here the next day after his
family left Carbonate but got into
the trouble. He did not succeed in
shipping his goods until Sunday and
had the bin of lading to show for it.
Milstead asked him if he was going
to work here. crenshaw replied
that he thought he might but again
might go TO Deanfeld, where the city
sent his wife and child.
Crenshaw was given a sound lect-
ure al. the depot by several persons
acquainted with his case. He failed
to even write or send word in any
way to his family or make any at
tempt to provide for them while he
was in jail. He left the depot yester-
day afternoon very much humili-
ated and declared he would get a
job. Nothing further was said Of his
family. His household effects are
expected tomorrow.
Mrs. Sallie Crenshaw and her seven
year-old son came to Paducah Mon
day, February 4, without funds or a
place to stay. She explained that her
husband would follow. The days
dragged by and still no tidings came
from the husband. Bud Quarles and
w. NJ. Taylor, manager of the Eng"
lish Kitchen, gave the mother and
son room in the Illinois Central ho-
tel, operated by Mr.. Quarles, and Mr..
Taylor furnished them meals. They
lived this way until hope was given
up, and Mayor Yeiser gave Mrs
Crenshaw pass to Deanfield, where

cussed- doctors Notified of
Duties
WILL ENFORCE ALL THE LAWS.

Slaughter houses, tuberculosis,
diaries and the city dump we're be-
fore the board of health in the regu-
lar meeting last night Several butch
ers were present to protest against
the enforcement of the boards or
der directing the removal of slaugh-
ter houses to the county. One of the
butchers in the city announced that
ne was installing a reducing plant to
take care of the offal and refuse
from the slaughtering house. 1t will
be made into fertilizer. The board
thought it a good way to eliminate
some of the Objectionable features Of
a city slaughter house, but no action
was taken toward having all the
butchers take similar action. The
disposition of the board now is to
allow the Slaughter houses to remain
In the city provided suitable santa
ry facilities are employed.
The health officer was instructed
to send a copy Of the city ordinance
regulating tuberculosis cases to ev-
cry physician in the city. The ordi-
nance requires the posting of tu-
berculosis sign as in cases of other
infectious diseases, on the mouse con-
tanning the case. AS tuberculosis Is
long drawn out disease, much OPP
position from citizens to having their
houses placarded for months at a
time, IS met 5y the nealtn officer. At
present only one or two physicians
in the city are complying with the
ordinance in reporting to the health
officer, their cases of tuberculosis.
More rigid inspection of diaries by
the~milk and meat Inspector was or
dered by the board. In the question
of the city dump. nothing was done
other than to order contractors to
carry out the provisions of their con-
tract, in taking the refuse out into
the current of the river.

over the admission of his testimony,
Jerome's objections being sustained.
Expert Testihes.
| Answering a hypothetical ques-
ton covering every detail of testimo-
ny up to this time in the Thaw trial,
including Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's
narration of her life history to the
defendant. DR.. Charles G. Wagner,
superintendent of the state hospital
for the insane at Binghamton, N. Y,
declared on the witness stand today
that in his opinion Harry X. Thaw
did not know the act was wrong
when he shot and killed Stanford
White.
Wagner stepped aside for later
cross examination by Jerome and as
court adjourned for the day it was
announced that the defense would
proceed with the testimony of other
alienists tomorrow
the taking of Wagner's opinion of
the hypothetical question, the man
under consideration being author of
letters which have been introduced
as emanating from Thaw during the
period of his arrangement with Eve
Ign Nesbit, after their return from
Europe in 1908, followed a day Of
almost continuous legal sparring be-
tween Delmas, for the defense, and
Jerome, for prosecution.
Jerome Forces Insanity Issue.
Jerome effectually blocked the
completion, for the time being of the
direct testimony of Mrs Tnaw by in
sisting that before she should go
further. competent testimony as to
Thaw's unsoundness of mind should
be placed before the jury. Delmas
tried to carry forward the wife's
story but the district attorney was on
his feet with an objection to every
question asked.
After compelling the defense to
go into the taking of expert testimo-
my. Jerome next proceeded to block
the testimony of DR.. Wagner as toI
the results of his six visits to the de-
PENDANT in the Tombs and his tests
as to the latter's mental condition.
Wagner was not allowed to go into
the conversations he had with the
defendant nor the conclusions he
had reached from these converse
lions.
