Thaw's assertion to the commission
everything done in this case is under
my authority" created stir in the
courtroom in view of Justice Mills
recent hits regarding exaggerated
ego"
PLANNED TO EMPLOY HUGHES
Thaw, it developed, used "Mr. X9 in
his letters referring to Governor
Hughes to prevent the fact that he
was considering employing him as his
counsel becoming known. While the
matter was still under consideration
Hughes received his first nomination
for governor and that ended the mat
ter. 1t was evident as Jerome con-
tinued that he was reading everything
he could find in the printed volumes
bearing upon Thaw's alleged considera-
tion of himself as an instrument of
providence, upon his disagreements
with his counsel. and upon his alleged
belief that there was conspiracy of
influential men against him.
Jerome then called Amos B. Baker
of Matteawan as the first of his alien
lists.
Doctor Baker read from the hospital
case book. saying that Thaw's heart,
hearing, eyesight, We're normal, that
he had been accustomed to a life of
luxury and idleness."
At that time, February ., 1908, the
record said Thaw laughed and talked
in a silly manner about his trial. and
acquittal, then just ended, but this
phase was not allowed in the evidence.
He appears to be amused by what
he thinks was overwork by his ply
sicians and lawyers at the trial. con-
tinues the record. He admits the evil
dence offered shows he was insane, but
says the district attorney was not in
possession of the facts in the case; he
greets one in a very silly and pompous
manner"
Doctor Baker said Thaw exhibited
defective memory, having forgotten
the date of his marriage. After the
first examination at Matteawan the pa
tient refused to discuss the killing of
White, referring the doctors to his
lawyers. During the first month he
insisted that he would be kept there
for 80 days only, under observation,
and then released on a writ of habeas
corpus
At the conclusion of his direct ex-
animation Doctor Baker declared that
Thaw was irrational at the present
time.
The hearing adjourned at 5:25 with
Doctor Bakers cross examination un-
finished

A Serious Problem;
Who WIN Solve 1t?

The philosopher Of The Dade City
Progress gives a twist to ones mind
produces a sort Of razzla-dazzle, so
to speak-in the following he let fly
in the last issue of that paper:
1t is a question whether the deveE
Opmeut of the ideal woman does not
require tine associative assistance OF
the ideal man. Nr. Man IS perhaps
over fond Of laying down the law as
70 what Caesars wife shall be without
thinking enough of what he IN his
turn is bound TO do to satisfy his re-
uuircments. The ideal woman may be
scarce, but ideal man, no doubt, IS
TaTCT StiIl.
Just what this brother is driving at
we are at a loss to comprehend; but
reading between the lines We judge
that he has given up in despair the
possible perfectibility of the human
race-mascuiine or feminine. Be
cause if it takes an ideal man TO help
in the making of an ideal woman, and.
we infer, an ideal woman to assist in
forming an ideal man, how viii the
problem ever be satisfied
So long as ideality in either sex is
dependent on that of the other and
the other isn't ideal and can't be so
by its own effort, why how on earth
Will either be able 20 lift the other
and vice versa, or words to that eff
feet? This is simply one of those
things no fellow can find out about:
but we guess the best place is to go

A broken rail, doubtless one of the
sometime rotten output of philan-
thropist Carnegie's company, caused a
serious accident on the elevated tracks
of the Pennsylvania railroad at JeT-
sey City Saturday. Four were killed,
six passengers were seriously injured
and a score slightly injured. In the
express car was a steel safe contain
ing $4,000 and in the mail car a con-
signment Of 100000 in gold made
by the Philadelphia mint TO the New
York sUb-treasury. The dispatch an
nouncing the accident says this money
was at once protected by a strong
guard. It doesn't say what was done
with the wounded and dead-but that,
of course, was of minor importance.
