ment of this notable gathering OF
statesmen President Roosevelt de-
clared that the national governTeni

states act where the power to act was
vested in them. With a vigor that
was unmistakable and a sincerity

power, the exercise of which would
work the greatest good for the great
est number at all times.

First Witness For State Gives State
ment Of Noted Prisoners Con-
duct. Brought BonBons for
Other Inmates of Asylum.

Poughkeepsies, N. Y.-Dr. Amos I.
Baker, acting superintendent of the
state hospital for the criminal in
sane at Matteawan testified in the
Thaw case that in his opinion Thaw
is insane. DIR. Baker said that in his
opinion it would be dangerous to
public safety to have Thaw go at
large,
Dr.. Baker was the first witness to
take the stand. He was called by
District Attorney jerome, to give
the court a statement Of Thaw's
conduct during the three months he
was in the Matteawan institution be-
ginning February l, 1908.
Thaw told DIR. Baker, the latter
said, that ne used tobacco at Is, used
alcohol in moderation and denied ev-
err using drugs. The witness said
Thaw described his movements pre-
ceding the shooting of White-his re-
turn from Europe and marriage to
Miss Nesbitt. Thaw told the witness
that at his trial some of the doctors
had greatly exaggerated their esti-
mates of his condition DR.. Baker
said that Thaw said to him: "If I
was ever insane in my life, the at
tack began the minute before shot
White and ended half a minute af-
ter
He said, said Dr. Baker, that his
physicians and lawyers had advised
him not to discuss what had occurred
On the Madison Square roof that
night he shot White. He volun-
teered, however, this much: "He
compared his situation at that mo-
ment to that of a man standing on
the brink of precipice, seized with
an irresistible impulse to jump"
While Thaw had said he, did not
want to be shown any favoritism,
yet he was peevish when not given
stimulant and the opportunity to
smoke. He solved mental example
in arithmetic fairly well, but he was
mixed on many well known dates.
DIR. Baker said that a physical exam
nation of Thaw showed him to be
generally normal. Son Feb. 25th
there arrived at the hospital 200
chocolates eclairs," said DR.. Baker.
"I found Thaw had ordered them
and wished them distributed among
the attendants, who were to have a
dance that night. I told him that the
rules prohibited gifts to employees.
He said he could see no harm In
buying the cellars

Owing to the fact that Gen. Ed
gerly, commanding the department Of
Dakota, the headquarters Of which
is at st. Paul, Mimi, is temporarily
absent from his post, it has been
necessary for the president to act
in the cases of twenty-three enlisted
men of the army on duty in that
department who were convicted by
court-martial Of various. attractions
of the army regulations, principally
desertion. In the large majority Of
these cases the president approved
the findings and sentence Of the
court, but in a few cases he miti-
gated the sentence to lighter pun
ishment than that imposed.
