To Fight Wne'S Case

the suit is simply a move TO secure
ThaW's release from Matteawln earlit r
than It is possible under ordinary con-
ditions.
Reports from Matteawan and Albany
say the State lunacy commission is en-
tirely satisfied that ThaW is not hope
lessly insane. While DR.. Ferriss. chair
man OF the State board Of lunacy com
miGsiSners, has visited the Matteawau
institution several times, he has abso-
lutely refused to make any comment on
ThaV's condition. Special reports COW
ering Thaw's dOings every hour Of the
day and night are made daily.
Should the State lunacy commission
determine that the regular sixty-day
period of observation was not sufficient
to enable them 10 render an intelligent
opinion Of Thaw's sanity. the trial OF
Evelyn's suit for a divorce based on the
medical testimony introduced by the
prosecution at Thaw's first trial that ne

brought forward by his own lawyers

Giraffe and uncomfortable since child
hood would bring the question OF his
present sanity squarely before the court.

Of the lunacy commission.

Joe Cans will whip Battling"
Nelson in their fight on July and
the battle will not go the limit.
This is my opinion Of the coming
contest as to why Cans should win.
1t is based on the simple fact that
he is better man in every way
than the Dane.
One of the cleverest men in the
ring, Joe should easily chop out a
victory for himself. Nelson is game
to the core and never knows what
it means to give up. For this rea-
son I think he will give the dinge
hard fight while it lasts.
Many have said that Cans was
not fouled in their great fight at
Goldfield. This may or not be true.
l don't care to enter controversy
on this subject. but I do think that
Joe Cans will be the acknowledged
superior after July 4.
Why even Jimmy Britt whipped
Nelson and Britt never saw the day
that he could defeat Cans in fair
fight.
If l were heavy bettOr Cans
would carry my coin when he goes
into the ring with Bat Nelson.

$4,000 to be shot and has accepted
that amount from his father-in-law
