Laporte, Ind, May 14.-POrtions of
human jawbones and a piece of skull
on which traces of hair appear, and
which may prove to be part of hu-
man scalp, were found late today in
the cellar of the Guinness farm house.
With one accord the prosecuting Off
GERS of the county declared today that
these relics are the most valuable to
their case that have yet been discOv-
cred
The bones were found by the men
who have been sitting the ashes in the
cellar of the house.
I Discovered by Sitting.
When the sitting process began sew
eral large pieces of metal and a watch
came rafting down the screen. Sheriff
Shutter at once ordered one of the
men to sort over the larger pieces. and
late in the day two pieces of human
jawbones were found. The piece OF
skin was also found by this method,
the late discoveries coming after the
men had begun work on the portion of
the cellar where the bodies had been.
There was a hurried call for the ply
sicians who have been assisting the
coroner when the specimens were
brought TO town. The meeting was
held in the office of DR., J. H. William
Meyers.
Pieces of Jawbone.
THE pieces of bone are from the up
tper jaw of a human being" said DR..
Meyers this evening. One seems TO
have been from the right jaw and the
other from the left. although this point
has not yet been determined. 1t is i'm
possible to determine the nature of the
skin or hair. 1t may have come from
some animal OF it may have been a
portion Of someone's scalp"
The days findings also included sew
eral charred vertebrate, but their value
is doubtful

Contention of Thaw's Counsel.

As outlined in the Associated Press
dispatches last week, Thaw'S counsel
commended that Justice Bowling did not
conform to the legal requirements
when he committed Thaw to Mattea-
wan. They claim, therefore, that he is
being deprived of his liberty without
due process of law. They ask Justice
MOrschauser to grst pass upon this
question before examining witnesses to
determine Thaw's present mental con-
ditiOn.
ThaW was brought into court and
took seat between his attorneys, A.
Russell Peabody and James G. Graham.
Before him were his detectives, Roger
O'Mara and William Moore. All the
seats in the court room were filled,
there being about twenty women among
the 400 spectators

Motion for Discharge.

When the judge had assembled the
bench. MIR. Graham made a formal mo-
ton for the discharge of Thaw on the
ground that no testimony as to his
sanity or to show that it would endan-
ger public safety to have him at large
was taken at the time of his commit
ment; that his commitment does not
comply with the statutory require
ments, and that ThaW had no Oppor-
tunity to be heard or to offer evidence
as to his sanity. Mr.. Graham argued
that Thaw'S confinement is unconstitu-
tional.
This man was entitled to a presump-
ton of sanity at the time this commit
ment was made" said Mr.. Graham.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-05-15
Will Decide Both Together.

unwilling TO decide the constitutional
question apart from the sanity ques-
! ton, unless the relator would agree to
waive the question of sanity.
| After some discussion by the Oppos-
! ing attorneys it was arranged to pro-
coed with the trial of both the consti-
tutional and insanity questions, the
| judge reserVing his decision on the for
mer.
Mr.. Graham offered in evidence the
court order under which Thaw was ex-
amined by a commission during his
| first trial and adjudged sane.
Mr.. Jerome objected to admission OF
the order without the mind of the trial,
| but was overruled.
DR.. Frank H. Mcclure, physician at
| the TOmbs prison, was called as a wit
ness for Thaw. Mr.. Jerome said that
! if DR.. Mcclure was being qualified as
an expert, the state would admit that
he is an expert. Mr.. Graham said that
witness was not regarded as an expert.
In this hearing each side is limited to
five expert witnesses.
Says Thaw Is Rational.
DR. 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 Mr..
MCGUIRE, and that was my opinion
when he left the Tombs."
Mr.. Jerome, on ton,
asked Dr. Mcguire if Thaw did not say
there was a plot TO have him catch
pneumonia, and that he was afraid of
being shut in his cell. The doctor said
he did not hear Thaw say that but
heard Thaw quoted as having said it.
The court ruled that Mr.. Graham
had qualified DR.. Mcclure as an ex-
pert by the form of his questions ask
ing his opinion as to ThaW's mental
condition.
Burden of Proof on Thaw.
The court ruled that the burden of
proof was on the relater, Thaw, as he
was not on trial under a criminal
charge This ruling took Thaw's at
torneys by surprise, and Mr.. Graham
said that he had not anticipated such
an opinion from the court.
There was a report that if Thaw is
released he viii be arrested on ac-
count of making threats against a
New York woman. District Attorney
Jerome declines to discuss the report.
When the afternoon session opened
Mr. Graham called DR.. Charles E.
Lane, Poughkeepsie physician of
twenty years ScllSidi vi dCliCe, Nho
said that he had seen Thaw four times
since April "a. 1908.
"Thaw told me that he had no en-
nifty towards any one and intended no
harm to any one said the witness. Il
told him that I had seen in the papers
that MIR Jerome feared his getting
out, and he answered that he had no
designs on Mr.. Jerome, and he did not
believe Mr.. Jerome felt any fear of
him. He said that he thought Mr.. Je-
rome did what he deemed to be his
duty, although he was sometimes err
ratio.

Attorneys Trying to Get Harry
ThaW Out of MatteaWan
Insane Asylum.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, May 1.-THE
opening of the Thaw habeas corpus
hearing today after many delays, found
Thaw and his representatives and Dis
trict Attorney Jerome's forces equally
ready TO hasten the issue to a conclu-
sion. The elder Mrs. Thaw has been
here for several days. visiting her son
at the county jail and having extended
talks with him. She still maintains
confidence as to the final outcome.
Thaw's stay in the quarters of the sher-
iff in the county Jail has been much of
a relief from the hardships of life in the
Matteawan insane asylum and the
TOmbS. and his appearance today
showed marked improvement
Admission to the court was restricted
to persons holding passes issued by the
sheriff.

Riggs had financed the team prior to that time posted the guarantee money, bought the uniforms, and footed the other bills incident to the opening of a base ball season.
 Mr. Riggs made a statement, as did President Craighead Mr Jones and MT. Davis.
 Riggs Franchise Declared Legal.
 The contention was that Mir. Riggs had secured the franchise certificate by fraud, but president Craighead ad- mitted that he wrote in the name of Riggs himself
 On motion of MT. Colpton the Riggs franchise was declared legal, it ba- ing held that if his was not none of the others were. The vote was to q Hot Springs not voting
 The question of the posting of the guarantee money with National Secre- tary J. H. Farrell brought on anoth CT argument. All of the clubs sent in their s15 for protection money in- diyidually prior to October 15, the date it is required to be in. At the national association meeting in Chica- go in November President Craigheai paid $90 to Secretary Farrell. who sent him the original checks of the individual clubs, which had not bean cashed, doing this because MT. Far rell said that the money must be sen. through the league president.
 A motion prevailed that President Craighead should return the chec;ys to MT. Farrell to be indorsed so he could secure the return of his $90

 W. W. Hurst of Argenta. former vice president, as we'll as presiden, of the Argenta Baseball Association was elected president, secretary and treasurer, the three offices being con solidated to facilitate the carrying on of the business of, the league Ml Hurst last night resigned as presi- dent of the Argenta >elub and will dispose of his stock at once.
 With the vote declaring A. s. Riggs the owner of the Hot Springs fran chise, a question which has been up for the past four months was settled. It is believed that the Hot Springs people c haiming the franchise will buy the franchise from Riggs.
 The meeting was not all harmony by any means, and several times clashes were seemingly imminent, during the discussion over the Hot Springs franchise, but gentler words followed and there was no trouble.
 The meeting was the annual meet ing of the league and was held at the Hotel Marion. At the opening meet ing there were upward of 9 present, though there was only one vote for each city in the league.
 President T. J. Craighead of Hot Springs presided, with Charles H. Da- wis acting as secretary. The meet ing began at Il o'clock in the fore noon, and with short recess con tinued until 6 o'clock.
 The Directors Present.
 The roll call of members of the league showed the following repre- sentatives present, the first named in each instance being designated as the director to act for the city named:

The first hitch came over the adop- ton of the minutes of the last meet ing. Mir.
