COMSTOCK ON STAND.
Anti-Vice Leader TeStifies at the
Trial Of Harry Thaw.
LETTERS FROM LATTER READ

DefeNudHt IN "uTuCT SdsC TAU Soh'-
planned on Several Occasions of the
Vicious Practices of Stanford White
and His Friends.
New York, Jan 23.-Anthony Com
stock, vice president of the Society
for the Suppression of Vice, was the
principal witness at the trial of Harry
X. Thaw. He testified that late In
1904 Thaw came to him and CON-
planned of vicious practices by Stan
ford White and several of Whites
friends. During the year that fol-
lowed Thaw wrote to him several
times and was frequent visitor at
the vice society's headquarters.
The letters were read In evidence.
They gave the names of the alleged
victims of White in the famous Twen-
ty.fourth street house and referred to
White as 'the blackguard." The house,
Thaw declared, was "consecrated to
orgies and controlled by six or seven
criminal scoundreIs."
The letters were new evidence in
the case. but were mentioned at the
last trial when DIR. Evans was telling
what Thaw had said to him of his
efforts to have Stanford White sent
to the penitentiary.
'I did not want to kill the beast,
said Thaw at that time, "but l did
want to have him brought to court
and have his acts known. Providence
interviewed, however; 1t was an act oi
Providence"
In cross-examining Mr.. Comstocb
District Attorney Jerome devoted
much of his time to calling attention
to the fact that the statements in the
letters were coherent, derstandable
and rational in their reference to his
toric events. The communications
the witness said, came In the usua
way, through the mails, with postage
fully paid and addressed according tx
directions given to Thaw.

Thaw's Mother Recalled.

When Mr.. Comstock was excused
Mrs. William Thaw, the mother, was
recalled to conclude her testimony be-
gun last week.
Mrs. Thaw told of waking up one
night shortly before Harry's birth and
finding that her eldest child, an in
fant, was dead in her bed. The nerv-
GUS shock was so severe, she de-
clared, that for more than seven
months she scarcely slept at all. AS
an infant Harry Thaw suffered the
most remarkable sleeplessness she
had ever known in a child He was
nervous and instead of sleeping at
night would insist upon being propped
up to sitting posture in bed, his
eyes having a wide awake expression.
The mother went into the details of
the defendants early life, telling of
his various ills and never ending at
tacks of nervousness. Mrs. Thaw also
testified as to the unsound mental
condition of her brothers, Josiah Cop
ley and Henry w. Copley, and stated
that her husbands sister, Mrs. Hirsch,
was an epileptic.
District Attorney Jerome waived
cross-examination of Mrs. Thaw under
agreement of the defense to admit
into evidence the affidavit the mother
made last year before the lunacy
commission which was inquiring into
her sons condition of mind.

HEALING THE RESULT OF
SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING

TX is proper TO say in this connection
that the double practice Of preaching
and healing was due 10 the fact that il
was impossible 10 benefit an individual
spiritually without improving his bod
tly condition. II would be quite as i'm
possible for one to understand and live
and talk according 10 the Gospel OF
Truth without benefting oneself and
others as il would be for the sun to
shine without dispelling the darkness.
Thus We note that healing the sick in
Tie Christian Science Church is not an
ad5unct 10 its religious practice, but q
natural. Inevitable consequence Of the
new and more definite. comprehensive
and ChristIfke understanding Of God
and his creation which is taught by
Mrs. EDDY. This constitutes the foun-
dation Of the entire system Of Christian
Science and its practice. and it de-
stroys both sin and sickness It is the
truth which illumines the conscious
ness OF the patient and destroys his
sense Of disease
The Rev. i. c. Baker OF Fairhayen,
Mass, in referring 10 Recent develop
ments in the field OF religious ethics, +"
declares. 1T is. perhaps. the latest
phase Of that more than general awak-
ening 10 the fact that the Church of
Christ has a mission TO the whole man,
body and soul" May we add here that
fl-4 healing movements which are be-
ing instituted in the churches are, TO
say the least, prompted by an acknowl-
edgment Of the Scriptural teaching,
that healing the sick is an essential
feature of Christian practice This
point having been settled, it remains
10 discover the Christ method We
think al win agree that real Christian
results can be had only by the means
which our Lord employed. viz. by an
unreserved reliance upon God. II we
may assume that human psychology
stall furnish the way Of Christian heal
ing on the supposition that God made
psych0logy. we may consistently go to
The length Of assuming that every man
Mould be liberal drinker OF whiskey

fact that both psychology and whiskey.

in the smallest degree.
1t is averred by critics that mental
suggestion has been employed in some
form or other during all the ages of
the world and that long before Mrs.
Eddy Launched Christian Science
mental suggestion had been practiced.
and yet they say, IF the doctors and
practitioners had done their full duty
Christian Science would never have
f1ourished." VIII some one of its
critics stand up and tell US why this
ridiculous" Christian Science has
"fiourished" TO such an extent while
this assertedly rational" scientific, "
mind over natter work together
with medicine" remedy adopted by the
Emmanuel Movement attracted no spe-
cial attention until the growth and in
f1uence of Christian Science made it
seem important to do something" by
the way of competition and as means
Of buttressing the old way?
