LTTTLETON HAS RETIRED.
Will No Longer Be Connected With
the Thaw Case

New York, February An extended
conference of counsel for Harry Thaw
was held tonight to discuss what legal
means should be taken to secure
Thaw's removal from Mattewan state
asylum. The result Of the conference
was not disclosed, but it was learned
on excellent authority that Martin w.
Littleton who defended Thaw in the
last trial wa practically retired from
the case.
It was known that Mr.. Lttleton's
connection with the case would cease
when the jury rendered it's verdict,
but at the request OF his associates he
consented to lend them his aid until
he started south on his vacation al
though his personal views on the stat
us of Thaw's case following the rendi-
ton of the verdict differed materially
from the views Of the other lawyers
in the case.
1t is known that Mr.. Littleton believ-
es Thaw should be left in Mattewan
at least for several months to come.

& TIMELY WARNING.
How to Guard Against Repetition of
Railroad Agitation in Next Legis-
lature.

1t is too much to believe that the
anti-railroad agitation in North CARGO
lima is to subside more than momen-
tarily with the compromise adopted by
the legislature last week. That agree
ment may be abrogated by the new
legislature which meets in January
next and we shall be much and agree
ably surprised if the railroad passenger
rate issue is not injected into the
coming campaign and the people set by
the ears over a return to the 2 IA cent
rate or the enactment of one of 2 cents.
Whether they will be very tolerant of
a renewed agitation is open to ques-
ton; it occurs to us they they would
not welcome it; that they have had
enough Of this sort of thing and would
not like to go through it. again right
away. But it will BE too Late for them
to profess after they have nominated
top tie legislature men who have it
in for the company" for having nomi-
mated them they must vote for them.
We don't like to be a prophet Of evil
but the people ought to be put OF no
tice and it is not too early to do so.
IF they don't want this whole matter
reopened and the work Of last week
perhaps undone they need to have a
care as to the men they nominate for
the next general observation-disclosures
