AND ALL THE EVIDENCE IN
THAW's TRIAL is GIVEN.
ABE HvMmEL's TESTIMONY
Was Read to the Jury and Thaw's
viii Was Admitted a. Evidence
Case May Go to the Jury
Thursday Afternoon.

New York, Jan. 29.--With no at
tempt on the part Of the state to com.
bat with scientific testimony the
claim of insanity urged in. behalf Of
Harry X. Thaw, the taking of evi.
dence in the second hearing of the
famous Madison Square Garden mur,
der trial ended Tuesday. This morn.
ing Martin w. Littleton will begin his
plea for Thaw and is expected to oc.
cupy both morning and afternoon SEES.
sions with his summing up argument
District Attorney jerome will speak
on Thursday. He has promised to be
brief and II his address should not OK.
tend beyond the morning session, Jus.
tice Bowling will hand the case over
to the jury Thursday afternoon.
Contrary to his policy of last year
when he called nine experts in insan.
ity to the witness chair, Mr.. Jerome
this year utterly ignored the scientific
phase of the rebuttal case. He pro-
duced several eyewitnesses to the
tragedy and several police officerr
who handled Thaw the night of the
homicide and placed on record their
opinion that the defendants acts and
manner we're RATIONAL Under agree
ment OF counsel the testimony given
by Abraham Hummel at the last trial
was read to the, jury and the Thaw
will was admitted In evidence with.
out further proof as to its custody
during the six months following the
shooting of Stanford White.
The affidavit alleged to have been
made by Evelyn Nesbit In Hummels
office, charging Thaw with cruelty and
attempting falsely to place the blame
for the Nesbit girls downfall upon
Stanford White also was admitted by
Justice Bowling and then the case, SO
far as testimony was concerned. was
at an end.
Mr.. Jerome's elimination OF expert
testimony from the rebuttal case occa
stoned much talk Based upon his as
sertions OF last year that Thaw was
an incurable paranoiac, rumor had II
that the prosecutor might not be dis
pleased with verdict of not guilty
on the ground Of insanity, with an en-
suing committal of Thaw to the asy
lum for the criminal insane at Mat
teawan.
Throughout the trial. however
Jerome has attemptdHrto discredit al
testimony having to do with Thaw's
irrationality. He has attempted t.
show that the youthful outbursts oI
the defendant were fits of temper
which deserved spanking" as ht
expressed 1t. rather than scientific dis
cussion. He has attempted to dis
credit the outbreaks in later life Will
the suggestion that they were the re
suit of too much drink and nothing
more. That the prosecutor will ridi
cule the expert testimony is general
ly agreed. Having no experts OF his
own he has free hand in that direc
tion this year.

4 Great Physiological
One Said i the Way 10 Keep the
Stomach Healthy Il TO
Exercise Il. f.
But He Did Mo-. Tell How to Make il
Healthy. @

The muscles of the body can be de-
veloped by exercise until their
strength has Increased manifold, and
la proper amount of training each day
will accomplish this result, but 1t is
somewhat doubtful whether you can
increase the digestive powers of the
stomach by eating indigestible food
in order to force 1t, to work.
Mature has furnished us all with a
perfect set of organs. and II they are
not abused they will attend to the
business required by them. They
need no abnormal strength.
There is limit to the weight a
man can lift, and there is also limit
to what the stomach can do.
The cause of dyspepsia, indigestion
land many affiliated diseases is that
the stomach has been exercised too
much and 1t is tired or worn out.
Not exercise but rest is what It needs.
10 take something into the stom-
ach that will relieve 1t from its work
for short time-something to d.
|gest the food--will give 1t rest and
allow it time to regain its strength.
The proper aid to the digestive. or
gans Is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
which cure dyspepsia, indigestion,
gas on the stomach and bowels
heartburn, palpitation of the heart
and all stomach diseases.
Rest and invigoration is what the
stomach gets when you use Stuart's
dyspepsia Tablets, for one grain OF
the active principle in them is suffi-
cient to digest 5000 grains of food.
The Tablets increase the flow OF
gastric juice, and prevent fermenta-
ton, acidity and sour eructions.
DO not attempt to starve out dys.
Ipepsia. You need all your strength
The common sense method is to di.
gest the food for the stomach and
! give 1t rest.
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
make the cure, but enables the organs
o throw off unhealthy conditions.
| Perfect digestion means perfect
health, for under these conditions
only do the different organs OF the
body work right and receive the
building-up material found in pure
food.

AN INMATE WAS CHAINED UP
To the Bars Of Cell, His Wrists Held

Pontiac, ILL.,. Jan. 29.-Members OF
the board Of managers of the Illinois

session that lasted nearly all Of Mon.
day night, heard stories from the lips
OF the officers of the institution of
brutality and torture inflicted upon
William Hamlin, an inmate, whose
death and the conflicting explanations
thereof has raised a storm of criticism.
The original story that the board
convened to inquire into, that Hamlin
was beaten and kicked into condi.
ton that resulted in his death, has as
yet received no confirmation other
than the boys ante-mortem statement
to his mother. But though Fastening
to explain that they did not beat, the
disciplinarians Of the institution admit
that they administered punishment
beside which beating would be
child's play. More sensational testi-
mony was heard Tuesday.
The chief developments were the
admissions wrung from officers Of the
institution that Hamlin was chained
up to the bars Of the solitary" his
wrists held by handcuffs to point
even with the top Of his head for 20
hours the first day Of his punishment,
for is hours the second day and that
the third evening he was tied up, with
every indication that he faced a simi.
lar period Of torture, but his endur-
ance gave out after Ave hours and
after he had revived from a faint he
either tried to commit suicide or
escape.
Being chained up again. he climbed
up the bars of his cell, probably while
In delirium. He tainted tho first
day Of his torture and the third night
and for long periods during these
fainting spells he hung by his wrists,
suspended from bar of his cell, his
legs too limp to support his weight
The cold water cure" was applied,
quart after quart of ice water being
thrown over him to make him quit

down his throat until he choked
After he was injured he was left
lying on the concrete floor OF the
solitary" with only blanket under
him and another over him, his back
broken in three places and his body
paralyzed, all but the arms, for ~
hours before the reformatory physi
clan was called.
To make Hamlin rise to his feet, Il
was asserted. James W. Rogers, an
officer at the reformatory, kicked
Hamlin while the latter lay PROSTATE
in a cell. Then Rogers in his excite
ment when he saw the real physical
condition of the prisoner told J. f.
Ash. another guard, of the kicking
and Ash wrote it in diary. These
assertions were made to the board of
managers by Ulysses A. Wilson, far
mer of the institution. Wilson said
the story was repeated to him by
Ash.

BOY IS DEAD

LAUREL. Oct. 2s-i1xpectlng every
moment TO find the body Of his 14-year-
old son somewhere in the woods be-
tween here and Georgetown riddled
with shot from his gun. Isaiah Mitchell
whe lives near here and his friends ana
neighbors are searching for the missing
boy.
Harry has always STAYED around the
house. and the only tine he is away
is on short cunning expeditions. Al
though so Young. he is proficient with
a gun. and no one thought anything Of
It when he sheuldered the gun Satur-
day at about 2 D. m. and started for
the woods. From that time until this
no one has seen him, and II is the opin,
ion Of nearly every one that in some
way the gun was discharged and the
boy was killed.
When the boy did rot return Satur-
day night. his parents became worried.
but hoped he had gone 20 spend the
nfght with some Of his friends. Sun
day came. however. ard the boy had
not arrived. and It was then that tina
neiRhborhood was alarmed by the anS-
ious father.
All dav SUNDAY searching parties
looked for the bov. and yesterday the
search still continued.
