ARE TAKEN
BY THIEF
Steals Rings, Watches and
Pins at Home In
Stone Street.

A thief entered Nicholas Mathis home
at 10 Stone street yesterday and stole
twenty gold rings, diamond ring, two
gold watches and chains, two earrings,
two gold bracelets and four scarf pins.
Mr.. MatiIl did not report the rob-
berry to the Second Precinct police until
last night. He said all of the jewelry
taken had been wedding presents. They
were married several months ago.
Mr.. Matill says that the thief must
have used a skeleton key because, as
he lives on the fourth floor there was
no other way for any person to get into
his home.
Second Precinct station and police
headquarters detectives are working on
the case.

TRENTON. Jan. S.--one of the in
teresting bits of gossip at the State
House yesterday was the report of
friction between David Baird, the
South Jersey leader, and j. Willard
Morgan. State Comptroller who alsd
halls from Camden County. The elec-
tion for Comptroller by the Legislature
will take place early in February.
Mr. Morgan is candidate for re-
election, but up to this time the men,
bers from his own county have not
declared for him. In fact, his forces
have not been brought into line, and
1t was reported late this afternoon that
Camden would present another name
at the proper time for the Comptroller
ship.
When this matter was presented to
Mr.. Morgan he declared that it was
news to him, that he expected to be
the choice of the Camden members,
and he was at a loss to understand
where the gossip detrimental TO him
self originated. 1t was understood last
week that opposition had been with
drawn to the Comptroller and that a
meeting would be held this week at
which all differences would be adj
justed
Instead of peace the trouble has evil
dently become aggravated. David Baird
stopped at the State House yesterday
for an hour. He then proceeded to New
York. As soon as he had departed the
stories of opposition to Morgan were
circulated. coupled with the remark at
tributed to Baird that Camden would

Through prompt action on the part
of Motorman Frederick Hansen, of the

so suddenly that several passengers
who were aboard were thrown to the
floor from the seats. Fire-alarm box
No. Ala is located in front of the build

alarm and began to hammer on the
door and shout fire" to awaken the
residents and to bring help
John w. Jaegers, the proprietor of
the saloon, was asleep upstairs with his
wife, and a cook slept in an adjoining
room. The latter heard the shouts of
the motorman and she added her cries
of Help! Help! 1 am choking to
death"
Mr.. Jaegers was awakened by the
noise, and, although the house was
filling with smoke, he piloted his wife
and the cook down a back stairway
into the street with little clothing on
any Of them.
Jaegers went back and gathered up
several wraps in a room in the rear
of the saloon. AS he was CARRYING
them out he ran into a member of En-
gine Company No. 10, which had ar
rived in response to the alarm, Both
men went sprawling on the floor, and
were lost for several minutes in the

Mrs. Jaegers began to fear he had been
suffocated, and asked the firemen to
help look for him. AS they did Jaegers

For almost an hour the firemen had
a hard fight with the flames, which had

no evidence that the place had been SGT

Defense to Subpoena Ex-
pertS Prosecution Called
at Last Trial.
ANOTHER PANEL OF 200
Summoned for Tomorrow and
Friday :. Man Accepted Today
Had Opinion, but Could
Chan ge It..Accept
Another Temporarily.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.--The defense in
the case of Harry K. Thaw sprung the
first surprise of the second trial today
by announcing that it had issued sub
poenaes for several of the expert wit
nesses who testified for the prosecution
at the first hearing year ago, and who,
when District Attorney Jerome applied
for a lunaey commission, made affidavit
that in their opinion Thaw at the time
Of the inquiry was suffering from an
incurable form of insanity.
These same doctors, however, lad
previously testified on the witness
stand, in response to Mr.. Jerome's ia
nous hypothetical question, that they
believed Thaw knew what he was about
when he shot and killed Stanford White
on the Madison Square Roof Garden.
This move is intended by the defense
as block to the prosecution in putting
these same doctors on the stand and
is taken by some as showing a deter
mination that Thaw shall not be con-
victed, even with the danger of stay
in the asylum for the criminal insane
at Matteawan as the alternative.
The alienists, who were the main stay
of the prosecution at the first trial. were
Drs. William Mabon, Carlos Mcdonald
and Austin Flint. They were present
at the former hearing from the very
first day and their absence this year
has been commonly noted.
Excepting the tentatively accepted
talesmen there were but three sworn
jurors in the box when court convened
at 10:4h a. m, and they represented the
net proceeds of the first two panels CT
100 talesmen.
The architects slayer today when he
appeared in court plainly showed his
fmpatience at the delay in filing the
jury box. Thaw is taking his present
trial far more seriously than he did the
other There is q business-like air
about him that was lacking before. He
does not write as many letters, nor take
notes of the proceedings, but remains
quietly, earnestly attentive, except
when some incident unexpectedly
arouses his impatience.
The third and last panel of the 300
originally summoned reported today
and there was no thought that it would
furnish all of the material needed 70
complete the trial twelve.
As a result the court ordered that 200
additional talesmen be summoned to re-
port tomorrow and Friday. At the first
trial some $40 talesmen were examined
before satisfactory jury was empan-
elled.
The first batch of talesmen called to
the witness chair We're quickly disposed

ion to serve as fair juror, until John
II. Holbert. an elderly man, and presi-
dent of a spring water company, was
Mr.. Holbert said he had
formed something of an opinion, but he
was sure he could lay it aside. He
was closely questioned by District At
torney Jerome and Mr.. Littleton, and
was finally accepted.
John Entwistle, a builder, born in
was accepted as a temporary
Juror. Mr.. Entwistle said he had no
prejudice against insanity as a defense.

WIRED DECOY
BRINGS HIM
TO POLICE
"TeSS Is Dying" Message
Read and O'COnnOr Hur-
ried Back to Newark.

While collecting souvenirs of histori-
cal places in the South and enjoying
himself generally, Edward O'connor, 36
years old, was interrupted in the midst
of his pleasures in Richmond Wednes-
day by the receipt of the following tele-
gram;
Edward O'Connor care ]. A. Thompson

Tess is dying come at once.
"BRIDGE."
O'Connor left all his enjoyment be-
hind him and, packing a few souvenirs
from the Gettysburg battlefield in his
grip, started to reach the bedside of his
dying wife. He arrived at the Fifth
Precinct station this morning and when
asked where he lived said he thought it
was 81 South Seventh street.
O'Connor said that he had few
souvenirs from Gettysburg, and the po-
lice of the Fifth Precinct station told
him he had better save them for am
munition, as there was a war. or at
least battle ahead of him when his
wife and family met him.
They were about to break the news
gently to him when in walked Court
officer John EclIerlein, of the First Pre-
cinct station, with a warrant Cor the
mans arrest. charging him with neg
lecting to provide for his wife and two
children.
O'Connor then discovered that the
telegram he received interrupting his
pleasure trip was a fake in order to
get him to Newark so that he could
be arrested. o'Connor was ordered to
furnish $500 bonds for trial Friday.
