| DR. Amos Il. Baker was the first wit
| ness Friday. He was called by District
| Attorney jerome, not as an expert but
to describe ThaW's conduct during the
| three months he was in the MattcaWan
| Institution, beginning Feb. H. 1908
DR. Baker related conVerSa tionS with
| ThaW in which the rClator told Of
epilepsy and nervous ailments suffered
by a sister and unclc. Thaw, the Wit
ness said, told also of dcsultory way in
which his education was acquired. At
seven years old he said he had st.
NtuS' dance. He described an attack
of pneumonia at Monte Carlo, con-
corning which he did not agree with
the diagnosis of his physician.
ThaW told DR.. Baker, the latter said,
that he used tobacco at Is, used alcohol
in moderation and denied ever using
drugs He gave his age as 81. though
he was 81 when he entered the hospital
Asked what he thought of the verdict
of the jury in his last trial, ThaW told
the witness that some of the doctors
had greatly exaggerated their cst-
mates of his condition.; that they had
in mind nephew of his. whom they
had examined, who Travelled under the
same name and was often taken for
him.
lie said that his lawyers ana doctors
did very clever work in conducting his
defence. DR. Baker said that Thaw
said to him: IF ! ever was insane in
my life the attack began one minute
before 7 shot White and ended half Il
minute afterward."
The doctor repeated a description
which Thaw gave him of the house al
legged to nave been maintained by
Stanford White and others. !ic said
that these men plotted to put him in
an asylum to prevent him from ex-
posing their alleged misdecds to the
public.
He ted mo that he appealed TO
Miss Helen Gould and was referred by
her to Anthony COmstock,' said DIR.
Baker. He said that detectives en-
ployed by him to watch White and the
latter'S house informed him that he
was in danger When asked to give the
substance of the detectives reports he
refused to answer by advice of coun
sci He said that his physicians and
LAWYERS had advised him not to discuss
what h:tQ occurred on tIle Nd,iooii
Square roof the night he shot White.
He volunteered however, this much;
he compared his situation Mt that mo-
mcnt TO that of man standing Oh the
brink of precipice, seized with an ir-
resistible impulse to jump"
While Thaw had said he did not
want to be shown any favors yet ne
was peevish when not given stimu-
liant and the chance to smoke. On
another occasion Thaw said Roosevelt
took office as President Oct. Is, 1865
He solved mental example in arith-
lnetic fairly we'll. but he was mixed
on many well known dates.
Dr.. Baker said that physical eX-
animation of Thaw showed him to be
normal Referring again to
his acquittaI DR.. Baker quoted ThaW
as saving Il was not insane when ac-
quilted and should not have been
committed to an asylum. My lawyers
made a mistake in not applying for
ha oeas corpus Immediately after the
trial. / came here with the under
standing that j was to be under OBJ
so days and at that time
discharged on certificate of sanity.

Poughkeepsie, n Y, May 15.-EIx-
animation of expert medical witnesses
in an endeavor to show that Harry K.
ThaW is sane was begun here late to-
day by ThaW's counsel in the habeas
corpus proceedings instituted to free
him from confinement at the Mattea-
wan asylum for the criminal insane
where he was lodged on the conclusion
of his second trial for killing Stanford
White.
District Attorney jerome, who is op-
posing Thaw's release, rested his case
before the close of the afternoon ses-
sion and Attorney James Graham of
ThaW'S counsel called several Witness
c.3 in roDuttal among them Rev. Lunte
p. EVers and Rev. John A. Wade. chap
lains at the Tombs prison. both of
hom testified that they talked with
Tha" many times during his confine-
ment there and invariably found him
rational. DR.. Jacoby, qualifying as an
expert said that he had examined
Thaw twice during his stay at Mattea-
wan, once in the Poughkeepsie Jail and
in court today. He found Thaw Iogi-
cal, he said, with good memory and
capable of following an argument. He
gave his unqualified opinion that Thaw
is sane at present.
DIR. Jacoby was under crosse -eXamin-
alton by Mr. Jerome at the evening
session. DR.. Dracme Hammond, an
other expert alienist. the last witness
of the session, declared that ThaW is
not a paranoiac and is sac now. After
halt of half an hour awaiting the ar
riva! of witnesses from New York,
court was adjourned until o'clock
this evening The expected witnesses
did not put in an appearance.
The interesting development of the
day was a report attributed to Russell
Peabody of Thaw's counsel that ThaW
would go on the witness stand. EX-
perts called by Mr.. Jerome earlier in
the day testified that in their opinion
Thaw is an incurable paranoiac and
that his release would be dangerous to
public safety.

BOARD OF REVENUE
ATTORNEYS OPINION REGARDING
 COUNTY OFFICIALS FEES.
NIT. sullivan Advfses Commissioner to Pay sherin His Fees For Road Work--Fees For Ex-Oa-
 cfo's Services.

Mobile. Sept. l4.--tspeciai.) 1.-The
 board Of revenue and road commission
 CTS met in regular session this morn ing when Attorney Sullivan handed
 down an opinion regarding fees of county officials
 In his opinion he advises the board
 that the sheriff's fees for sso for road work from August 1, 1907, to August
 l. 1908. should be paid as the sh eriff is entitled to receive eso annually for dis
 charging his duties relative to public
 roads. Regarding the claim of the
 same officer for sl.0l1.4o for ex-oficio
 service from August 1. 1907. to August
 l. 1908, the attorney advises the board that for ernpannelling grand juries and attending all elections the sheriff is entitled to such sum as may be allow ed him by the board of county commis- sioners upon presentation of verified accounts for services rendered. The claim presented, according to the opinion. Is not verified and in this instance the attorney advises that if the board is satisfied that the sheriff has an annual income from office ex- ceeding s7.500 after all expenses have
 been paid, then the attorney advises
 the sheriff is not entitled to any fees for ex-oficio services. Regarding bills presented by the coroner and a num- Der of justices residing in the county for services rendered, the attorney ad- vides that fees for holding inquests
 shall be paid out of the county treas | ury and should be paid.
 The board attended many other mat
 ters of minor importance and adjourn l ed.

 Washington, Sept. l4.-Throhgh MT. Des Postes, the Charge d'Attaires of the French Embassy, the State Depart ment was late this afternoon put in possession of the contents of the French Spanish note on the Moroccan situation communicated to the powers sigantory to the Algeciras conference.
 The officials declined to discuss the nature of the rote. but it is under stood that France and Spain want cer- rain assurances from Mulai Hafd re- garding his attitude towards various foreign interests in Morocco. The Unit ed States Government was a signatory power to the Algeclras conference but expressly stipulated that in accepting the application of certain regulations and declarations to American citizens and fntsres's in Morocco, it did so with out assuming obligations or responsi- bility for their enforcement.
 The note was presented to Acting Secretary Adee by MT. Des Portes. the counsellor and Charge d'Afaires of the French Embassy in the absence of Ambassador Jusserand. 4 copy will be sent to Secretary Root as soon as the note Is translated.
 Without any political interest in that section of the world. American partic- ipation partcok of benevolent nature and as expressly stated was to obtain for all peoples the widest equality of trade. privileges and the securing of measures tending to insure eordiality of intercourse and stability of admin istration.

She Posed For 1t at The Reauest of Stafford White--A MiIIiner
 Obtains Judgment Against Her.

New York. Sept 14.--when the sher- if today seized g portrait of Mrs. liar. ry K. Thaw, owned by her, 1t developed for the first time that milliner had obtained a judgment against her on September for $23S.
 The portrait Is study in brief of Mrs. Thaw by Harrington Mann, and she is said to have posed for 1t at the request of Stanford White, who was killed by her husband. It is enclosed in remarkable brass frame which was designed by Mir. White. It is be- lieved the picture would bring much more than the amount of the judgment if put up at sheriffs sale.
 The original bill of the milliner was for $6ss, representing purchases of two days. including waists at SIPS and sI35 each and a skirt at $40. Payments aggregating $45o were made on ac- count and then were stopped.
