The Young Defendant Has
Promised to Submit to Such
A Plea as He Wishes to Be-
come a Free Man.
NO BREACH between
HUSBAND AND WIFE.
1t Was Reported That the De-
fendant and His Young Wife
Were Estranged, But Both
Deny This.

New York, Jan. 3.-Dr. Britton D.
Evans. inventor and patentee of the
"brainstorm" as applied to criminal in
sanity, and the other alienists who tes
titled in favor of Harry Kendall Thaw
in his first trial for the murder of
Stanford White held long conference
today with Martin Littleton, Daniel
O'Reilly and Russell Peabody. in the
formers office, preparatory to the sec
on Thaw trial, which will begin on
Monday.
1t was learned that a straight plea of
insanity will be urged in behalf of
Thaw in the forthcoming trial, and on
this mainly the de1ense will rest it's
chances.
The insanity plea does not offer
such an easy escape TO the defendant as
has been generally supposed. 1t is
known that District Attorney Jerome
will not consent to Thaw's liberation
on any plea of insanity without max
ing a fight. His plan of campaign in
this trial, as in the first. so far as the
sanity of the prisoner is concerned,
will be to establish clearly the form
of insanity from which it is cleaimed
the defendant is suffering, or was suf-
fering at the time the act was commit
ted. In either case, if the form of in
sanity is one which medical science
say is incurable. the District Attorney
will insist upon the defendant being
sent to Mattewan.
1t was planned in the last trial to
call Anthony Comstock also. but the
Thaw family objected. and now Mr..
Comstock is to take the stand and
tell of the peculiar actions of Thaw
when the latter was engaged in his eff
fort TO have Stanford White and stu
diO revelers" put under arrest.
Both Thaw and his family are said
uow to have waived all objections to
the insanity plea and they are prepar-
ed to make this final sacrifice to save
the young millionaire's life.
II is practically certain that Florence
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will again take
the stand in her husbands defensa.
She is fully prepared for the ordeal
and this time is fortified by a much
better condition of health than upon
the previous trial.
The story that she and her hus,
band have become estranged and that
Thaw and his lawyers were also at
odds was today flatly denied by all
concerned. The young woman paid
her established visit in the Tombs
prison today and remained with Thaw
for an hour.
O'Reilly and Peabody also spent
some time with the prisoner, and
among the other details which crop.
ped ont in advance of the trial was the
statement that Abe Hummel. who a
few weeks ago Gas dying on Black.
wells island, had recovered sufficiently
TO be able to go on the witness stand
when wanted and give against Thaw
the same damaging testimony that he
swore to in the last trial

Unwittingly the Palladium commit

Strikers Are Now Soaping the
Tracks That 1t Will Be I'M
possible for Cars to Oper-
ate in the City.
MINISTER'S TAKE A HAND.
BEFORE TRACTION OF
FICiALS IN ANDERSON INTER
CEDING IN BEHALF OF THE HUN
DREDS OF STRIKING MEN.

Muncie. Ind. Jan. 3.-The first vio-
lence in the strike among traction en-
plOyes here today was when crowd OF
sympathizerS hurled bricks, stones and
clubs, breaking every window in car
being operated, compelling the strike
breakers TO flee An attempt was made
to operate three city cars but this fail
ed. Strikers are sOaping the tracks.
The outlook is very grave.
The Muncie Ministerial association
took an active hand in the Indiana I'm
last night, when it sent a committee of
three members to Anderson to present
the officials of the traction company Il
proposition submitted by the strikers
under the conditions of which they
agree to return to work. The commit
tee was composed of Rev. Benjamin
Nj. Nyce, of the First Presbyterian
church. the Rev. c. Z. Watkins of the
Seventh street Baptist church, and the
Rev. w. H. Allen of the Jackson street
Christian church.
Strikers Proposition.
full is that they return to work as us
ual and continue to run the cars until
the strike question is arbttrated, pro
viding the company first agrees TO
submit the matter to arbitration. If
the arbitratinG committee finds the
strikers are in the wrong, the ANAL
gamated association will send its men
,,-l, l,l,Z tt-
representatives say.
The agreement to put the PROPOSE
ton up to the company in this manner
WAS reached at a conference between
representatives of the strikers, Of the
ministers, of the the Muncie trades
council and Mayor Guthrie. The strik.
ers, however. contend this is only
their original proposition to the com
pany. repeated that the company has
refused even to submit the question tC
arbitration before this time.
Arbitration of the differences be
tween employers and the striking en-
ployes. practically was demanded by
the better citizens of Muncie in the
hope they could do something to bring
about a peaceable settlement of the
difficulties between emplOye and EN-
ployer, G. w. Purcell and c. F. Woer-
ncr. state labor commissioner, came &c
Muncie and investigated the situation
They conferred with the strikers and
learned their side of the question and
were to have gone to Anderson to get
the company's version, but postponed
the trip.
