The Passing Of HqSteria.
(Louisville Herald J

The country is to be congratu-
lated upon the passing of hvs-
steria in the Thaw trial. The
first staging of this unhappy
drama was set with all the acces-
sorles necessary for lurid pl v.
The yellow newspapers furnished
the spotlight, and Delmas and
Jerome joined hands in provii-
ing the sensations.
Much of the change in the con-
dltions is due to the dignified line
OF defense followed by Attorney
Littleton. His stout refusal to
play to the gallery and seek a
verdict from the sob squad" of
the Hearst papers and their imi-
tators, has been to the advantage
of his wretched client as well as
in the interests of all that IS
wholesome and sane and decent
The different attitude of Je-
rome and the more moderate
tone Of his address to the jury is
also no doubt due to the higher
plane upon which his oppoI. .ent
pitched the argument.

be educators of the people and
learned men, up-to-date on every
Question, yet they sit still and
see themselves robbed by news
raper trust and say very little
about it.
Now it trusts can rob the Press
on pieces of paper. what will the
results be with the private citi-
zen who has no power to combat
this giant. grasping class of
hea~t.esS men?
Every newspaper in the United
States great or small, is now
compelled to save on all sides in

outrageous high price of paper.

BRYAN's LAST DAY IN OHIO.
Devoting His Special Attention te
Rockefeller and Carnegie.

TOLEDO, Ohio, October 3O.-William J.
Bryan, on the concluding day Of his
campaigning in Ohio, is devoting his at
tention to John D. Rockefeller and An
drew Carnegie. both OF whom are quoted
in the morning papers as supporting Mr.
Taft Mr.. Rockefeller bases hts attitude
on the ground that the balance Of fitness
and temperament is on Mr.. Taft's side
and that his election would make for law
and order and stability of business. while
Mr.. Carnegie sides with the republican
candidate because he regards Mr.. Bryan
as a menace, and says his election would
be national tragedy.
The democratic candidate on the oc-
casion of his first speech in the stop at
Napoleon, bitterly denounced both Mr..
Rockefeller and Mr. Carnegie. The for
mer he said. was favoring Mr.. Taft be-
cause Mr.. Taft was in sympathy with
the trusts, and as to Mr.. Carnegie, he
declared that it was the steel trust that
went to the White House and got per-
mission from the President to absorb
a rival, land the steel trust is today
supporting Mr.. Taft as it helped to
secure his nomination"
The statements were repeated in this
city today where, in the base ball park,
Mr.. Bryan spoke to a great gathering.
In the course of the day Mr.. Bryan Will
make speeches at Bowling Green, Find
lay, Fremont. Sandusky. Bellevue ana 10

WaITMORE TRIAL NEAR CLOSE
ARGUMENT HEARD IN LAMP
BLACK MURDER CASE.
State Admits Evidence Against
Dead Woman's Husband Is
Mainly Circumstantial.

JERSEY CITY. N. j.. October 3O.-Ac-
cording to indications early today the case
of Theodore 8. Whitmore, on trial for the
murder Of his wife. Lena, whose body was
found in the Lampblack swamp at Harri-
son the morning after last Christmas. Will
go to the jury before night. The de-
PENDANT himself was on the stand yester-
day. repeating much of the testimony that
he gave at the first trial In an attempt to
establish an alibi. Counsel for both pros
ecution and defense were ready to sum
up when court convened today.
Several witnesses were Unexpectedly re-
called In rebuttal when the trial was re-
sumed today. but their examination was
brief and at its conclusion 1t was an
nounced that all evidence was In, that
everything was In readiness for the con-
Guiding arguments. Michael Corners, an
Albany policeman, testified that he had
been unable to find Fred W. Elliott, who
was regarded as an important witness for
the prosecution.
Alexander Simpson then began the
closing argument for the defense. Mr..
Simpson said the woman might have been
killed in drunken quarrel In boat
house 1t must be proved who committed
the murder. The lay objection to the cir
cumstantial evidence. Mr.. Simpson said.
was healthy. If Whitmore was guilty OF
numbering his wife he would never have
identified the body at the morgue, Mr..
Simpson declared.
Attorney General McCarter in his argu-
ment for the state said that circum-
stantial evidence composed most OF the
states case.
Mrs. Whitmore did not commit sui
eide, gentlemen" said Mr.. Carter. This
man Whitmore has q violent temper, as
we have shown you. and was accustomed
to beating his wife. throwing silverware.
glassware and brio -brac about the house
and at his wife. He had a wife who was
not a good woman and he wanted to get
rid of her."
