ThaW Verdict.

Pittsburg, Feb. 3.-The declaring
of Harry Kendall Thaw to be legally
insane will create chaos in the finan-
cial affairs of the Thaw authorities.
The Thaw fortune is now estimat-
ed, at least s3o,0OO,OOO, though the
income has been impaired for several
years. Pittsburg lawyers familiar
with the affairs Of the estate, say
that il the question is raised as to
whether Thaw's mind was clouded
during the past two years, the result
will be an inextricable tangle. Con-
tracts and various legal agreements
for the raising of ready money with
out impairing the trust funds were
carried through by Thaw and his
mother. 1t is said. in opposition to

FIGURES SHOW
STARTLING FACTS
Show That Democrats Left
Less Than $250,000.
Amount Left In Treasury Just
0ne-Seventh the Sum
Claimed.

Frankfort, KY, Fish. 4.-The old
axiom that figures don't lie, and that
Democratic campaign claims are any
thing but accurate or veracious. was
demonstrated to-day by the report OF
State Auditor Frank P. James, show
ing the condition of the States fl
nances on January 81.
The report shows the receipts and
expenditures during the twenty-five
days in January under the Republic
can administration, and they convey
startling idea of Democratic juggle-
ry with figures in order to make a
showing" which however is not cal
culated to deceive people with ordi-
nary intelligence.
The boosted $1,500,00 which the re-
firing Democratic administration was
to turn over to the incoming Repub-
licans has dwindled to one-seventh of
that amount and after liquidating the
claims against the State which should
have been paid by the retiring admin
istration there remains but a bare
quarter of a million dollars in the
Treasury.
Claims against the State for school
purposes alone amounting to nearly
500, 900 were held up in order to make
the showing" These items were for
teachers salaries for the month of
December and while not due until
January were debit against the State
and should not by any means have
been included as cash on hand when
the former Auditor and Treasurer made
up their reports at the end of Decem-
Der.
To show the gross Inconsistency of
the methods employed by the Demo-
cratic administration to make finan-
cial showing before retiring from Of
flee a comparison of the Auditors re-
port for December and January are
interesting.
According to Auditor Hager's re-
port, the State paid out in December
$396.52S.S6.
Auditor James report shows that
the Treasury paid out in January ST.
173, 1928. an increase of $776.610.92.
Most of the expenditures shown in
Auditor James report was in settle
ment of claims for November and De-
cember services.

Thaws signature 10 all of these
contracts may now be questioned. In
fact,it is said one of the brothers is
already preparing TO have guardian
appointed for the young man. This
move will be vigorously opposed by
his mother, who has stood by him
and defended his extravaganza
throughout his meteoric career.
Court proceedings may be asked TO
establish the notification of many
contracts which the younger mem
bers of the family have opposed,
while it is considered certain that the
mother will approve an effort to de-
clare the young mans marriage void.
All in all, the future of the Thaw

lawyers here, holds out rosy prom

CHARGED With KILL
ing HIS BROTHER.
Sons of Harvey Stroud Engage
In a Fight and one Kills
The Other.

Bowling Green, KY, Feb. l.-Earl
ed his brother, Arthur c., by cutting
his throat. The iugular vein was
severed. Earl, eighteen, and his
brother,t wenty-one, are sons of Har-
vey Stroud, a prominent and wealthy
farmer of this county. The family
lives in town during the winter to
allow the young children to go to
school. The boys were hauling feed
to the boat landing when the fight
occurred.
After the cutting Earl went to DR..
Topmiller, a veterinarian, telling him
that three men in a buggy had run
into them and that In the fight which
followed Arthur had been cut. The
doctor told him to hurry to a surgeon.
Arthur was put in a wagon but died
before reaching home. At the cor
oner's inquest, an eye witness swOre
that Earl did the cutting, the jury
found a verdict that Earl killed
his brother. Earl was arrested and
held. Thee examining trial is set
for Tuesday. 4- ses.
The Stroud family are residents of
the Island neighborhood, in Mclean
county. They moved to Bowling
Green a few months ago in order
that The children might attend school.
Harvey Stroud owns a fine farm in
Mclean county and is well known
throughout the Green River country.
James Stroud, who studied law in
the office of Sweeney, Ellis and Sween
ey, and practiced in greensboro until
few months ago, is brother of
the boys who engaged in the fatal
difficulty in Bowling Green. He is
now in Mexico.
LATER.
The trial of Earl Stroud for the
killing of his brother a few days ago
at Bowling Green was to have taken
place at Bowling Green Tuesday but be
cause of the absence of Captain w.
T. Ellis, who has been employed
with Judge Simms Bowling Green to
defend the accused County Attorney
Thomas consented TO have the trial
continued until Friday. Mr.. Harvey
Stroud, who formerly lived in Mclean
county, is well known in greensboro
and is highly esteemed here. Attorney
James Stroud, who began his practice
here, is a brother of the young man
who is to be tried. He is now in the
southwest but has been sent for and
will be present at the trial.
The theory of the defense will be
that the killing was accidental and
there are many who believe it could
not have been otherwise and who will
hope that the truth of this theory will
be demonstrated.
