When asked how he happened to be
carrying a revolver, Burris said that
he has a budding orange orchard which
is infested with gophers For the past
six or eight months he has carried the
gun, a 3S-Caliber IVer Johnson ham
merless. so that he might get an occa-
sional shot at gopher. He started to
carry the gun long before the start OF
the trouble with young Hobart.
BuIlis was singularly composed. He

Find No Valuable Papers

RENO. Nev. Aug. 7.-Folowing the
receipt Of a dispatch from san Fran
cisco this afternoon, the authorities
examined Little's room, but failed to
find any papers of value.
In view of the fact that valuable

man. though his clothes were carefully
searched, even his shoes being removed
the police think now that the muir

American girls"
Referring to Mrs. Thaws attack on
him in the Secret Unveiled Jerome
said:
1--WE see in this pamphlet the same
color that runs through the sons be-
havior. 1t seems to me that it would
not be safe to turn this man loose
until there has been ample opportun-
ity to submit him to medical eXamina
tion from day to day for a long
period"
Jerome finished his summing up at
11:35, the court having offered an OBJ
lection to the length of his speech.
Thaw's Counsel Makes Plea
Attorney Morschauser, for Thaw, be-
gan by urging the court to consider
only the evidence produced in the pres
ent proceedings and disregard Thaw's 5
condition prior to, during, or just after
the homicide
He dweIt on the testimony of his
own alienists and attacked that of the
opposing alienists, especially Dr.
Baker.
Thaw had a latent trace of insanity
he said, but incidents of Thaw's early
life were grossly exaggerated at the
trials, to show insanity.
similar result might be achieved
by the boyhood pranks of any man.
Referring to Evelyn Thaw's alleged
misconduct with White, Mr. Morschau-
ser said:
with this before him every day and
every night Thaw started out to wreak
his vengeance on Stanford White, and
sought TO break UP his den and de
StrOy forever that power to wreck and
ruin the lives of young girls. Mr. ThaH
appealed to District Attorney jerome.
The district attorney admitted the ex-
istence of such places, and if he had
used the energy i'm roofing them out
that he has in bounding this young
man, the crime would never have been
committed
Criticises Attorney
Mr. Morschauser criticised Susan
Merrill and Clifford w. Hartridge,
Thaws former attorney who is suing
Mrs. Mary Thaw for 100000. Mr..
Morschauser asked why Hartridge
failed to support his testimony by pro
ducing the record of money he alleged
he paid to Mrs. Merrill
Thaw listened intently to his coun-
sells arguments, and several times
passed him notes, of which Mr.. Mors-
chauser made use.
Mr.. Morschauser declared Thaw's ac-
tion in changing attorneys after his
first trial was only prudent and for
cause.
Then he continued: 81 have been an
attorney for Harry Thaw for a year
We've had a great many defeats. II
he had any suspicion regarding his at
torney or any delusional idea of COM
bination against him, wouldn't he have
suspected me?"
Both Mrs. Thaw and the attorney
were in tears when the latter finished
with these words:
"Within the mad house, within the
den of degenerates, surrounded by
criminals of the lowest order-you put
him back, and if he is not a mad man.
he certainly will be. and at the same
time you will crush out the heart of
the most loyal of mothers that ever
lived"
The hearing adjourned at 3:15 p. m.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-08

'Tf a person had come i'm here from
Mars" continued the prosecutor. "and
seen Thaw on the stand, he would have
realized something was the matter
with him. ] cali your attention to his
attitude concerning his act No man of
sound mind would have said, Yes, /
killed him, but he did great wrong TO
the woman / loved and ! hated him. 1t
was wrong, / know
Jerome's voice rose for the first time.
Mrs. Thaw laid down her magazine and
she and the prisoner and ThaW's coun-
sci held a whispered conference, The
prosecutor went on:
Here is a man whose heredity has
proven to be bad; he is a man whose
childhood was that of a nervous sort.
We lind him marrying this girl and
there was nothing after the marriage
TO excite his jealousy. We see him

In the presence of newspaper men ana
police at the outset. Mccoy found d
cut and slight abrasion ON the right
shoulder Of Burris, which he said was
