LITTLETON'S FINAL
PLEA FOR THAW
Lawyer Asks His Acquittal on
Grounds Of Insanity.
WARMLY DEPENDED EVELYN

New York, Jan. 30 Martin W. Lit
Teton. chief counsel in the defense OF
Harry K. Thaw. asked for the acquittal
Of his client upon the ground OF in
sanity. declaring he could not conceive
how, In the face Of the evidence, the
jury could render any other verdict.
The serious and sincere evidence OF the
defense. tending to establish the insan-
ity OF the defendant. MIR. Littleton de-
clared. has been answered only by the
sneers and insinuations of District At
torney Jerome These sneers. and in
situations. the young Pittsburger's ad-
vocate asserted, were not the compe-
tent proof that the law required the
prosecuting authorities to produce
once the insanity Of the accused person
was made the issue. He repeatedly
urged upon the jury 10 remember that
in case OF this kind the burden of
proof rests wholly upon the state TO
prove the sanity OF the defendant be-
yond all reasonable doubt
Mr.. Littleton warmly defended Eve-
Ign Nesbit Thaw against the attacks
of District Attorney jerome. He said
he could not understand what she had
done. what great crime she had COM
mitted. considered in the light OF all
she had confessed herself TO be. that
the prosecutor should transcend all
the rules of propriety and decency and
attempt to destroy her when in the
next breath he--was ready to "coddle
and hug and vouch for the testimony Of
such scoundrel as Abraham II. Hum
mel-the very vermin OF the New York
bar"
Mr.. Littleton said that II any doubt
exists in the minds OF the jurors they
should dissolve Il in favor of the de-
PENDANT and acquit him. He begged
them not to be misled by the district
attorney into voting for a verdict OF
conviction in some lesser degree than
nat OF primary murder.
Any verdict OF not guilty in the case.
II is said, will carry with 1t the as
sumption that II was rendered on the
ground of the insanity of the defend
ant. whether or not the insanity clause
is added The plea of not guilty en-
tered in the case carried with It the
specification that the defendant was in
sane at the time the crime was COM
mitted
Mr.. Littleton's argument was force
fol and impressive. He refrained from
appealing to the passions OF the jury
men and devoted himself to a logical
consideration of the facts as adduced
in evidence. He made no attempt TO
eulogize Harry Thaw and he said that
he asked for him no more consideration
than the average American boy had
a right to demand OF the average Amer
lean jury.

SECRETARY TAFT
ON PHILIPPINES
Says Great Changes Have Occurred
In the Islands.
FUTURE OUTLOOK Is BRIGHT

Washington. Jan. q. Nine years
tary Taft records the results OF the
American occupation OF the archipelago
and forecasts the future of the Fill
pinos. In an exhaustive report trans.
mittcd TO congress by the president.
with a letter written by the chief en-
ecutivc. commencing in the highest
terms the secretarys conclusions. The
president declares that ruin would have
followed the adoption of any other
policy towards the Philippines than
that outlined by William Mckinley and
carried forward through these nine
years. and asserts triumphantly that
there is no brighter PAGE In history
than that dealing with the relations
between the strong and weak In those
islands. He adds that the Filipnos
have yet long way to travel before
they will be ut for complete self gov
ernment."
Secretary Taft's report records his
observations on his recent visit to the
islands TO the extent OF nearly eighty
printed pages Generally speaking the
secretary Is optimistic In high degree
IN treating OF this subject even though
he cannot fix a time for declaring the
independence OF the island In answer
to the critics. who have made the
most astounding aud unfair statements
In respect To the cost to the United
States Of the Philippines" he figures
ont total annual expenditure OF So
O00.000 and he vigorously denies the
failure OF the Philippines policy. He
says that great changes have occurred
In the islands The people are now
anxious to have the American soldiers
retained. There is a high standard OF
administration of justice Nothing is
more popular than the constabulary.
There are no questions between the
governn IT and the Roman Catholic
church. unless the Aglipayan schism
can be said to be involved. Peace pre-
walls in greater degree than ever
before in the history Of the islands
The magnificent Benguc' road IS now
justified by the results obtained.
The secretary is willing to limit the
amount OF sugar and tobacco that can
be exported to the United States. He
predicts a development Of business
within twenty-five years that will make
the Filipinos themselves stand high in
the worlds industrial populations. His
recommendations are that Philippine
products be admitted into the United
States free OF duty under reasonable
limitations that present restrictions
be removed on the acquisition OF min
Ing properties that the Philippine gov
eminent be authorized to conduct an
agricultural bank and finally that the
islands be exempted from the opera
