LITILETON IS MAKING
Strong CASE FOR THAW
Produces Lot Of Witnesses Who Testify to Ira
f0nd| Conduct Of Defendant in Youth and
Just Prior to Shooting Of Stanford White

New York, JAN 15-Adhering strict
ly to their promise to interpose no
other defense than that of insanity in
behalf of their client, the attorneys
representing Harry X. Thaw at his
trial today continued the examination
of witnesses who swore that young
Thaw at various times in his life ap-
peared to them as mentally unsound.
Practically all the testimony was
entirely new to the case and had to
do with acts down to the day of the
tragedy itself Then came the decla-
ration of the ten men who sat on the
coroner's jury during the inquiry into
Stanford Whites death, all Of whom
declared that the defendant the day
following the shooting acted irration-
ally.

Some Of Thaw's alleged eccentrici-
ties, revealed for the first time, were
related today by Christopher Baggan,
steward of the New York Whist club,
by Miss Matilda Stein, telephone op-
orator, and by August Weber, former
butler in the Thaw household.
Thaw spent a portion of the after
noon of June Is, 1906, at the Whist
club, and at that time, a few hours
before the tragedy, was pictured by
the steward as being highly nervous
and as frequently exclaiming ,"This
is awful" He asked the steward to
have valuable package put into the
safe. After the shooting the package
was opened and found to contain three
cigarettes wrapped in tinfoil. The dis.

to Congressman

Washington, D. c., Jan. Is. - So
persistent have been the efforts made
in the house of representatives to
amend the bill codifying the penal
laws of the United States that the
committee on revision of the laws
today consented to let down the bars
and as result the measure was
changed in some important particu-
lars.
The pacific attitude of the COM
mittee in this regard served to molify
opposition members and in conse-
quence the proceedings today were
devoid of the heated arguments
which have characterized previous
debates.
When the house at 1850 p. m ad-
journed there were pending a num-
Der of other important amendments
which seemed to meet with no par
ticular opposition by the committee,
but which were passed over until
tomorrow in order that members
might have time to consider them
carefully.
The portions of the bill which at
tracted the most attention were those
covering the giving and accepting
of bribes by senators and members
and the sale of Endorsements or sup
port for appointive public offices. 1t
is to the amendments touching these
questions that the house tomorrow

Separate incidents of the alleged ir-

by Mr.. Littleton as a foundation for
