Springs Surprise on Thaw's Lawyer
During Hearing.

Poughkeepsie, N. T., May i4.-1he
hearing on the habeas corpus writ IN
the Harry K. Thaw case, was begun
at II o'clock today. The prospects were
that arguments on the question OF the
legality Of Justice Dowiing's commits
ment Of Thaw to Mattewan, would oc-.
cupy the entire day, and that examine
alton Of witnesses as to Thaw's meu-
tai condition would be deferred until
the constitutional question was dis-
posed Of.
Dr. Frank H. Mcclure, physician at
the Tombs prison, was called as .
witness for Thaw. Jerome said that
If Mcguire was being qualified as an
expert the state would admit that he
Is an expert. Graham said the wlt-
ness was not to be regarded as an .ex-
pert. In this hearing each side is linz
tied to five expert witnesses.
Mcclure said that he saw ThaW
nearly every day while he was In the
Tombs and that he seemed perfectly
receptive and perfectly responsible. In
my opinion he was rational" said Nc
Guire "and that was my opinion when
he left the Tombs.
The only time, Mcclure said, he ever
saw any emotional excitability IN
Thaw's conduct was in the fall OF 1905.

The court ruled that Graham had

form OF his question in asking his opin!.
lion as to Thaw's mental condition!
This ruling took Thaw's attorneys III
surprise.
| Graham said he had not anticipated
such an opinion from the court. There

So said Senator Aldrich. In addition
to this statement of the Rhode Island
senator, Senator Crane of Massachu-

says Taft will be named on the first
ballot. This is the first time the lead
ers of the opposition to Taft have pub
licly surrendered.
Mr.. Crane has been looked upon as
a sort of major domo for all the op-
position candidates His adherence to
the Taft cause means that the bottom
has dropped out from under the OPP
position.
1t is no secret that such men as AID
rich, Crane and Hale, who were orig

out for him with this one objection in
view-the prevention of a Roosevelt

st. Paul, May 14.-Previous to the
assembling Of the state democratic
convention here today Johnson men,
who will control the convention, de-
cided to insert the name Of Bryan In
the platform by declaring that while
the Minnesota democrats have affec-
ton for him, and possess confidence
In his integrity and ability. they favor
johnson as a man who Is equally wor-
thy and who gives promise of q sue
cessful candidacy for the presidential
nomination. 1t Is certain the resolu-
ton will produce a warm fight on the
floor Of the convention and may be
stricken out. The threat of the Bryan
men to bolt and hold q rump conven-
tion has lost much Of It's force. 1t is
believed that If they can secure the
adoption of a resolution making Bry-
an the second choice they will be sat
isfied.

just pulled off one of the prettiest
scraps in recent political history, and
want to say for the majority that
there has been nothing said that we
need to recall-no deprecatory express
sion concerning w. J. Bryan"
Loud cheers greeted the mention OF
Bryan's name. but this was utterly
/ dwarfed an instant later when he de-
clared that prominent democrat in
Minnesota had in Washington given
out thru the Associated Press, q
statement calculated to injure John
A. Johnson. A terrific yell followed

the uproar continued for some time.

mentioned James Manahan, of st
