SUSPECTS STILL HELD.
Police DiseredIt statement of Accused
 Murderer COleman.


 John Reese. Will Reese and Jerry Ross, negroes. are still being held at police headquarters suspected of complicity with Colvin Coleman, ac- cused murderer of J A. Finley.
 The police while holding the three negroes, still cling to the theory that Coleman alone slew the dead man, and their convictions were materially strengthened yesterday by tho fact that almost perfect alibis, SO they say, have been established. The state ment of .Coleman's father. giving the confession of his son, duplicating the three negroes. is discredited, and 1t is still believed Coleman told his sto- ry of the crime in order to gain a new lease on life, thinking that his execution might be stayed for him to tetstify against his alleged accom- plices.
 The day was an uneventful one for Coleman. The sheriff still has him confined in strong rear cell. to- gether with two grand larceny ne- groes. He will be tried for his life. Friday, March i.

would be guided entirely by the court on
the subject. Sympathy OF any KIND ne
said, would not influence his judgment: He
said he understood that a reasonable doubt
must spring from the evidence, and If ne
was satisfied beyond all reasonable doubt
that the defendant was guilty he would not
hesitate to render a verdict of guilty. There
was a discussion at this point between
LAWYER Gleason and Mr.. Jerome as to the

a few minutes with Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,

Justice Fitzgerald settled 1t by asking the
talesman If he would take his ruling on the
subject at the proper time. He said he
would. Mr.. Jerome drew some hair-split-

reasonable doubt, but the talesman came
through it unscathed and Mr.. Hartridge

Mr. Newton said he had discussed the

PITTSBURG, Pa, January 2S.-Dr. Henry
A. Hutchinson, superintendent Of the Dix
mont Asylum for the Insane, who was sub
jected to a severe examination by the leg
islative investigating committee a week ago
on account of the escape from Dixmont Of
Bertha Beilstein, has been summond to
New York to appear at the Thaw trial.
DR.. Hutchinson will go there early this
week with Roger O'Mara, the Pittsburg de-
tective who is looking after the interests
OF the Thaw family here.
While DR.. Hutchinson has no personal
knowledge of Thaw, he may prove val
liable witness for the defense if the emo
tional insanity plea Is advanced. Thaw
then could be compared to the Beilstein
woman. The girl. who at the time was
about eighteen years old, appeared per-
fectly rational one night nine years ago
when she retired, although she had been
laboring under a great nervous strain for
some time.
In the night she entered her mothers
room and killed her, then tried to COM
NIT suicide. She was tried for murder and
acquitted on the ground of insanity She
escaped from DixmOnt about six months
ago.
Before the legislative committee DR..
Hutchinson declared that the girl was in
her normal condition at the time Of her
escape and could have been released had
it not been for the fear of her relatives
that her mind might again break down at
any moment.
At the Presbyterian church which the
Thaws attend the pastor, the Rev. DR.. Nc
Even, offered prayer for the members Of
the congregation who are In such great
trouble at the present time. No names
were mentioned, but every one understood
that the pastor referred to the Thaw fam
lily.
Sporting men of Pittsburg have formed a
pool and are taking the :short end that
Thaw will be acquitted. A large sum of
money has been placed in the pool. The
bets are being placed at three to one on
acquittal

ITALY cR1T1c1sEs TRIAL.
Compares Slowness With That Of Its
Own Courts.

ROME, January 2s.-The case Of Harry
Thaw, slayer Of Stanford White is at
tracing widespread attention in Italy, and
many papers are comparing the slow pro-
ceedings of the courts with the much
criticised process Of justice in this country.
La Vita declares that the roof garden
shooting in New York is Enthusiastically
Italian in its origin and evolution" and
says that this Is the reason that the case
is being watched SO closely by the Italian
public. 1t continues:
"The United States now offers humanity
a spectacle which proves justice to be the
same wretched fraud in every continent.
While Anglo Saxons rail at Italian judi
cial procedure, its pomp and pOnderous-
ness, here we have the most democratic Of
countries wasting months compiling q
charge sheet, when the free confessions
Of the accused demanded only a few days
thus spent.
Other papers make similar comment and
several have representatives in New York
to report the trial.
