MANY NEW WITNESSES
Stories Of Harry Thaw's Eccen.
tricitieS Told on the Stand.
ALWAYS SEEMED IRRATIONAL
Actions Of Defendant in Murder Trial
at Different Times and Places De-
scribed by Numerous Persons Tes-
tifying for the Defense.

New York, Jan. 16.-Many wit
nesses entirely new to the case testi-
fed at the trial of Harry X. Thaw
and told stories of his eccentricities
during years Immediately preceding
the killing of Stanford White. They
all declared he impressed them as
being irrational. The most interest
ing testimony was that of Christopher
Baggan, steward of the New York
Whist club, who told of Thaw's do
ings the day of the tragedy, and who,
under cross-examination by District
Attorney Jerome, gave amusing de-
tails of whist games in which Thaw
and several men of prominence par
ticipated.
DR.. Horatius w. Wood of Philadel-
phia was the first witness. DR.. Wood
some years ago made an examination
of Harriet Alice Thaw, a relative of
the defendant. District Attorney
Jerome objected to the physicians
testimony, but was overruled by the
court, as the relations between physi-
clan and patient did not exist In this
case. DR.. Wood said that Miss Thaw
was of unsound mind.
The next witness to be heard told
of new eccentricities of Thaw just
before the killing of Stanford White.
He was Christopher Baggan, a stew
ard of the New York Whist club.
Thaw was In the club on June 20,
1906, just five days before the roof
garden tragedy. Although the day
was hot Thaw insisted on taking a
screen with him wherever he went
about the rooms. He was highly nerv-
Gus, excitable and irritable and once
as he passed the witness was mutter-
ing This is awful"
Puts Cigarettes in the Safe.
Baggan said Thaw finally came up
to him and asked him to have a
package put in the safe.
What was in the package?" asked
Mr.. Littleton.
Three cigarettes, wrapped in tin
foil"
Thaw's eyes, the witness said, had
a peculiar stare. A telephone message
came for him and when the witness
touched him to attract his attention
Thaw trembled all over.
Miss Matilda Stein, who was tele-
phone operator at the Grand hotel in
1905 and 1904, when Thaw was a
guest there, testified that she knew
Thaw under the name of Farr. She
saw him often and his eyes were al
ways staring and bulging. His man
ner was irrational. One morning
ThGw put in seventy-five telephone
calls in less than three hours. One
morning he ordered his breakfast
three times In twenty minutes.
On cross-examination Miss Stein
said Miss Evelyn Nesbit also was a
guest at the Grand under the name of
Farr.
Mrs. Caroline Lowery and William
A. Johnson, newspaper writer's who
witnessed the tragedy, declared in
turn upon the stand that Thaw Inn
pressed them as decidedly irrational.
Lionel Straus, portrait painter and
eyewitness who testified at the first
trial, also characterized Thaw's ac-
tions as irrational.

Washington. Jan. ia "Proh-

ganization to be established in the
national capital
1t will be operated mnder the aus.
pices of the national committee OF
the Prohibition party, and its specific
purpose will be to urge congress to
protect "dry" states from federal pro-
liquor influence.
The bureau will be In immediate
charge of Matthew E. O'Brien. OF
Bridgeport, Conn, who was the Pro
hibitlon party's candidate for COVER
nor Of that state in the last cleo
tion, and Finley c. Hendrickson. of
Cumberland, Md.
Interviewed by the United Press,
o'Brien said:

There is also an act under which
the federal government protects vio-
lators Of the state law and raises
revenue from lawlessness. The gov
ernment issues q liquor tax receipt
anywhere in the country to anyone
who may apply. Many persons are
thus defying the state police powers,
being protected from federal inter
ferance by this tax receipt. The gov
ernment virtually says TO n man who

is done. More than 200 persons are
today holding federal liquor tax re-
ceipts in the District OF Columbia In

ARE HOMEWARD BOUND
Nineteen of the South Sea Islanders,
Captured by Capt. Blackburn, Re
turned by British Government.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July IL
Nineteen survivors of the several hun
dred South Sea islanders, kidnapped
eighteen years ago from their native
strand and sold into slavery among the
coffee plantations of Guatemala, arrived
yesterday on the steamship City of Para
They are free and homeward bound, and
in addition are travelling as tourists with
the British government paying expenses.
The natives were kidnapped by Capt
Blackburn, who visited the islands in his
steamer, the Monserrat and enticing
them aboard, sailed away. They We're
supposed to be contract labOrers, bound
to their Guatemalan employers for three
years. Ignorant of the language, and
in Il land where the law is sometimes
the dictators' will, it was easy to keep
them on the plantations, where they
shaved until their plight was made known
to the British government. This, how
ever, was not until eighteen years had
passed and most of the natives had died
Those returning have little to show for
their years of toll.
Capt Blackburn was lost at sea in
December, 1894, when the Monserrat
went down with all hands. The island
ers have been taken in charge by the
British consul here who has arranged
transportation for them on the steamship
City of Pueblo, which sails today for
Vancouver. There are several babies in
the party and all showed signs of illness
resulting from their long sea voyage.
