New York, Feb. 1.-For a second
time the fate of Harry K Thaw, slayer
of Stanford White, passed into the
hands of jury of his peers. The
twelve jurors retired after listening
to a charge from Justice Victor J..
Bowling, who. sought to impress upon
them that the burden to prove the
sanity of the defendant rested upon
the prosecution throughout the trial
and declared that if from all the evil
dence in the case the jurors enter
sanity the defendant was entitled to
the benefit of that doubt. At the same
time he pointed out the provisions OF
the statute which. provide that the
only persons excused from criminal
responsibility are those who suffer
from such a defect of reason as either
not to know the nature or quality of
their act or not to know that the act
is wrong
"Some may hold that this is too
d lCSl. COmuculSu lJ1c COUII,
''but it is the law. 1t is clear, explicit
and reasonable. Mark you that the
law says defect of reason and /
must instruct you that defect of
reason is not an opinion a man may
hold as to the justice OR, correctness
of his own acts, or an opinion that the
laws of the land are wrong. Hatred
and revenge are not insanity. Most
crimes are committed from just such
motives as these"

ling read his charge From the mo.
ment the first words came from the
bench until the jury had filed out to
begin its deliberations the courtroom
doors were locked and no one was
allowed to pass in or out.
AS the jury was about to leave the
box Justice Bowling asked if they de-
sired any of the exhibits in the case.
Foreman Gremmels replied that the
jury would like to have them all.
Thaw was compelled to stand and nod
his formal assent to this action.
The defendant listened intently to
the judges charge, the reading of
which occupied just forty minutes.
The fact that the jury desired to ex-
anime the exhibits was taken to indi-
cate that they will be some time at
their deliberations. 81
While on the subject of reasonable
doubt Justice Bowling said the doc
trine applied as well to the grade of
crime as to the question of in
nocence or responsibility or irrespon-
sibility. knowledge of the nature or
quality of a defendants action in
cluded the issue as to whether or not
he knew he was firing a loaded pistol
The defendant had right to expect
the benefit of the doubt as to this as
well as to other material issues.
The trace of insanity in collateral
branches of the prisoners family, JUS
tice Bowling said, had a proper place
in the testimony and was worthy of
consideration.
Justice Bowling defined the various
degrees of murder and mans1aughter
recognized under the laws and then
added that the jury in its delibera-
lions was not bound by the terms of
the Indictment.

LETTERS, and the wounded member
was this time taken off just above
the ankle. The other operation was
more successful and the wound is
healing nicely, while it seems the
amputation of the foot at the instep
left a few splintered bones and they
would not unite, hence a second
operation. Franks many friends at
this place are hopeful for the best and
wish for him speedy recovery from
the effects of the operation, that he
may be able to be about and with us
once again.-Red Lake Falls Gazette.
Mr.. LETTERS was seriously injured
