The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-01-14

The human side was described by MT. I.ittleton as a thing inserutable. No man could fathom it. no man could say why one man should be gifted above another. No man could set himself up as higher nor could he judge infallibly in acts of another Mir Littleton said there would be no attempt to invent any new kind Of extraordinary mania, despite the fact that District Attorney Jerome had intimatel in his questioning of jurors that sor,e such thing would be tried.
 Gut all the driftwood away, l ask you men of the jury to judge this man by the facts as they are presented to you
 MT. Litteton then sketched the life of the defendant from the time of his birth.
 On the fathers side of the family MT I.ittleton said. a sister became insane at 5 years of age and died at 90 in an asylum in Pittsburg. A cousin of the father, one W. H. Thaw, died insane in an asy- lum in Virginia of melancholia Harriet Alice Thaw, still on the fathers side, is in an asylum in Pittsburg, suffering from insanity of which delusions of persecu- ton are the charges. Horace Thaw, cousin, is also insane with persecution as the basis.
 Upon the fathers side, Thaw inherited the instability of nervousness.
 Mothers Family.
 Saving he would like to be spared the recital of the delicate details MT. Lit tleton, next told of the insanity which he said existed in the mothers family. Mrs ThaW would come on, sick though she is, to tell her own story The at torney dwelt at length upon the subject of heredity, saying 1t was impossible for a boy in Thaw's position to escape the Gespotism of the destiny forged for him before his birth-impossible to flee from inc fever which burned in his blood at birth and will continue to burn until he dies.
 Harry Thaw was an unusual child suffering in infancy from unusual ail- ments.
 MT Littleton said that Thaw's teacher in childhood would be one of the im- portant new witnesses for the defendant and would give her impressions of the boy who seemed so unusual to her that in a diary. He was d boy who lived apart from other boys and who had no playmates.
 This teacher said MT. Litteton, will tell you of the strange vagaries of the boy. whose mind at times flashed with the brilliancy of star in the newborn night, but at other times, was wholly deficient Her entry in the diary the day Harry Thaw came to school will tell you: "A quiet, distant, wide-eyed boy, who came today, could not speak word that any of us could understand" MT. Littleton followed Thaw's career

sphere? Must there always be such
an awful and gruesome contrast? The

saving and helping the unfortunate
of great city. When we get away
from the theatre, we can strip the

the matter. But, when we sit through

flood of pictures that makes us feel
as if we had been dragged through
