PITAL SUPERINTENDENT.
DANGEROUS TO SET HIM FREE
First Witness For State Gives State
ment Of Noted Prisoners Con-
duct. Brought BonBons for
Other Inmates of Asylum.

Poughkeepsies, N. Y.-Dr. Amos 1
Baker, acting superintendent OF the
state hospital for the criminal In
sane at Matteawan testified in the
Thaw case that in his opinion Thaw
is insane. DIR. Baker said that in his
opinion it would be dangerous to
public safety to have Tbaw go at
large,
DR.. Baker was the first witness to
take the stand. He was called by
District Attorney jerome, to give
the court a statement of Thaw's
conduct during the three months he
was in the Matteawan institution be-
ginning February 1, 1908.
Thaw told DIR. Baker, the latter
said, that he used tobacco at Is, used
alcohol in moderation and denied ev.
er using drugs. The witness said
Thaw described his movements pre-
ceding the shooting of White-his re-
turn from Europe and marriage to
Miss Nesbitt. Thaw told the witness
that at his trial some Of the doctors
had greatly exaggerated their estl-
mates of his condition DR.. Baker
said that Thaw said to him: "If
was ever insane in my life, the at
tack began the minute before l shot
White and ended half minute af-
ter
tie said, said DIR. Baker, that llis
physicians and lawyers had advised
lin not to discuss what had occurred
IN the Madison Square roof that
night he shot White. He volun-
teered, however, this much: "He
compared his situation at that mo-
ment to that of man standing on
the brink of a precipice, seized with
an irresistible impulse to jump"
While Thaw had said he did not
want to be shown any favoritism,
yet he was peevis'h when not given
a stfmulant and the opportunity to
smoke. He solved a mental example
in arithmetic fairly well, but he was
mixed on many well known dates.
DIR. Baker said that physical exam
ination of Thaw showed him to be
generally normal. "On Feb. 25th
there arrived at the hospital 200
chocolates eclairs," said DR.. Baker.
~ found Thaw had ordered them
and wished them distributed among
the attendants, who were to have a
dance that night / told him that the
rules prohibited gifts to employees.
He said he could see no harm i'm
buying the eclairs.

Target Practice Orders.

Adjutant General Fridge has pre-
pared the general orders for the an
nual target practice by the National
Guard of the state at Camp William
son, near Vicksburg, to be held dur
ing June. The order specifies that
detachments of five men, in which
number officers may be included, will
be sent by all company commanders
to the rifle range, to reach there on
May 26, June 2, June 8 and June 16,
for whom transportation will be fur
nished on properly certified requests.
These transportation requests are to
be supplied the company commanders
on application, and the detachments
are to be held distinctly responsible
for their integrity. The transporta-
tion must read to Stout's Station,
which is on the line Of the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley Railroad and all
detachments arriving over that line
will be detained at that point. Those
arriving at Vicksburg over the Ala
bama and Vicksburg will proceed to
Stout's as soon as possible. The
men will be supplied with the new
army rifle, the 1903-model, with suf-
ficient ammunition to serve them For
all events in which they will be
listed. The camp will be under the
direction Of the Adjutant General.

Saved BY Technicality.

Among the state cases disposed of
at the sitting of the supreme court
last week, was that Of Allen Litford,
negro, appealed from Tunica county,
from conviction Of murder ana the
death sentence imposed in conse-
quence. Litford owes his respite
from the gallows to technical eva
sion of the letter Of the law in the
selection Of the jury which tried his
case, claiming that the jury had been
chosen without regard to the express
provision Of the law that the jurors
shall be selected from the several
beats in proportion to the registra-
ton therein. The defense made q
motion for new trial, which was
overruled, and the appeal followed.
Whether the remand for another trial
means simply postponement Of the
hangman' day for Litford, or that
it will save him from the gallows, or
even conviction, is to be developed.
Cases Of this nature have been re-
versed hitherto in Mississippi, on the
ground of an irregularly drawn grand
jury, but this seems to be the first
which has been reversed on the ex-
ceptions noted in the composition Of
the trial jury.

Kills in Self Defense.

A negro was killed on the Rector
Plantation, near Sherard, by the man
ager, H. C. Goutcher. The latter shot
the man only after he had struck the
manager either with piece of wood
or his hand, following an alteration
as to whether or not the negro should
return to work, which he had for
some reason refused to do. There was
great excitement among the planta-
tion negroes for "a time after the
killing, and message was received
at the sheriff's office at Clarksdale
asking that an officer be sent out
to make the arrest. At this juneture
however, Sheriff Baugh himself hap
pened to be passing the plantation,
when Goutcher voluntarily gave him.
self into the custody Of the sheriff,
and was brought to Jail.

Kincannon-Johnston Conference.

Chancellor A. A. Kincannon, Of the
University of Mississippi, was in
Jackson few days ago, and was in
conference with DR.. Sidney Johnston
surgeon in charge Of the Vicksburg
State Charity Hospital. All the de-
tails relative to the sending of the
third and fourth year men taking the
medical course at the University of
vicksburg to get the benefit of the
hospital practice have been arrangea,
and on Oct. the first season under
the new order will be begun. The
course of instruction and the prac-
teal demonstrations will be under
the direction of the Medical Depart
ment Of the University, of which DR..
Leathers is the illustrious and i.tle-
fatigable head.

Refused to Relicense Company.

Insurance Commissioner 7. NJ. Hen
ry stated that he had received a let
ter from I. A. O'Herin, of Vicks-
burg, who was appointed receiver Of
the Mississippi Hosne Insurance Com
pany, in which he states that he is
unable as yet to give out any state
ment as to the liabilities and assets
of the concern, but that he hopes to
do so at an carly date. In the mean
time, Mr.. O'Herin writes, he was
not re-insured any of the Misssissip-
pi Homes business, and will not do
so until he ascertains just how the
books and accounts stand. In this
connection it is of interest to note
that one of the principal causes that
led up to the receivership effect was
that Commissioner Henry had de-
clined to re-icense the company, for
reasons that seemed good to him, and
subsequent events seem to have justi-
fed that discretionary step. 1t has
been reported that the Mississippi
Home business that was being han
died through various agencies had
been reinsured, but this does not seem
to have been the case, according to
the officials in the Insurance Depart
ment.

Exodus From Restricted District.

There has been a general exodus
from the city of the women of the re-
stricted district since Saturday night,
when the police committee of the city
council got together and instructed
Chief Of Police Allen to rid the city
of these characters. 1t is estimated
that fifty or more of them have left
the city since the order was issued,
and others left even before the issu-
ance of the order, it having been
general known that such action
would be taken. Chief Allen has is
sued the following order, directing it
to all police officers Of the city:
"You are hereby instructed, as per
copy of instructions handed me by
the police committee on May 8, to
suppress all such houses on your re-
spective beats or in the city of Jack
son by having same vacated and ar
resting the guilty parties and bring
ing them before the police justice Of
the said city of jackson. Any police
officer failing to do his duty under
these. instructions will be suspended
and summoned before the police COM
mittee." The action of the police
committee and the subsequent action
Of the chief Of police is the culmi-
nation of the mass meeting held in
Duttoville, the southern suburb Of the
city, on Sunday, May 8, and which,
has been closely followed up by the
ministers of all denominations as
well as by the committee Of five ap-
pointed at the meeting, by their ap-
pearance before the city council, com
munications in the daily IIpers and
their appearance before the police
committee itself last Saturday night.
The exodus of white women, if it
continues for day or two, will solve
the problem so far as they are con-
cerned, but the real problem is yet
before the police. in the removal Of
the negroes engaged in the same busi-
ness. Mayor Wharton, Chief Of Po-
lice Allen and Chairman Chiles of
the police committee all assert that
there is to be no discrimination on
account of color, and that all must
go alike. This is also included in the
demands made by the mass meeting
committee, and is evidently to be
carried out. SO far as is known
none of the negroes have left the
city or siguified any intention of do
ing so.

Seriously Wounded.

j. B. Williams, head lineman for
the Postal Telegraph Company and a
resident Of Jackson, for several years
is at the Jackson Sanitarium suffer-
ing from the effects Of bullet woun ia
inflicted by J. H. Sheffield, bar
Der, and Sheffield is locked up in the
county Jail to await the result Of
Williams wounds. 1t appears that
Sheffield was tenant Of Williams,
renting cottage from him, and was
in arrears for payment of the rentals.
Williams had spoken to him about
the matter more than once and words
had followed between the two men.
Accor ling to the rather confused eye
witnesses as to what occurred at the
time of the shooting, it is gathered
that Williams was passing the house
occupied by Sheffield, when the lat
ter came to him, and as he approach
ed, his tenant produced a revolver
and began firing, emptying the weap-
on and inflicting two wounds. One
was a flesh wound and superficial,
but the other entered the region Of
the groin and seems to have inflicted
a dangerous wornd. Both men are
married and have families, Williams
having his wife and several children,
and has always been regarded as a
quiet, peacesble citizen. He returned
the fire Of his antagonist, but none
Of his shots proved effective.

To Eradicate Tick July /.

Chairman H. E. Blakeslee, Of tho
Mississippi livestock sanitary board,
expresses much qualification over the
news from Washington that congress
has passed the agricultural appropria-
ton bill carrying good allowance
for the bureau of animal husbandry.
The passage of this bill will render
1t possible for us to commence CIR
campaign for the eradication of the
cattle tick by the first Of july" said
Chairman BlaKeslee. "Our plans
have been formed for the work and
we have been assured Of the hearty
cooperation and assistance Of the
farmers in the northern part Of the
state, where operations will be COM
menced, but without government as
sistance it would be impossible for
us to accomplish much work during
the current year" Another allow
ance that will become available on
the first Of July will be the annual
budget For the Mississippi national
guard, amounting to about l25,000.
The companies composing the guard
will take part in the nansuvers at
Chickamauea during the summer.
