Had Been Given Much Freedom Lately
But Is Now Surrounded BY
Four Big Deputy
SherIffs.
WAS A MYSTERIOUS AUTO
Big yellow Machine With HesossIed
Men Stood Waiting at Corner
as Though to Help
Escape.

WHITE PLAINS, Aug. 4.-Thaw
walked from Jail to the court house
today surrounded by four deputy sher.
IFS. The officials have given no rea-
son for this increased guard. Thaw
usually walked with his mother and
sister, and was followed at some
length By the warden. Persons com
mented lately on the ease with which
he co4.d escape. Yesterday Thaw
was forcerd to push his way alone
through the crowd at the door of the
court house and the warden followed
later.
For three mornings big yellow au-
tomobile with two men, masked in
huge goggles, has stood at the corner
waiting for Thaw Today the ma
chine was present but drove away as
Thaw and the guards passed Nor
schauser appeared ready for lengthy
cross examination of Drs. Flint and
Hirsch, the states alienists. Nor
schauser is an expert at cross exam
ination and long drawn and extern
sive cross examination threatens to
prolong the trial into next week.
DR.. Flint took the stand for the
cross examination by Morschauser to
day. Morschauser went atshim on the
testimony In the other cases when he
declared paranoia was durable while
in this case he declared true paranoia
is incurable." On redirect examination
by Jerome. Flint said the case OF par
anoia which he said was durable was
of a different nature from Thaw's. DR..
Mcdonald, Jerome's third alienist was
then called on the stand.
Jerome read a lengthy description
of paranoia to Mcdonald. The alienist
said the description fitted Thaw like
glove. He said Thaw was suffer
ing from "paranaoia of degenerate
type" He said he never had heard Of
case being cured. He said the con-
finement at Matteawan would keep In
abeyance Thaw's homicidal tendencies
and delusions which freedom would
awaken. He said Thaw's appearance
in court on the stand showed that
Thaw was not appreciative of the SER
iousness of the situation and that he
is insane. Morschauser on cross ex.
animation attacked Mcdonald on his
testimony for the defense at the trial
of Richard Preusser of Albany who
shot Miles and who was released af-
ter an acquittal on the grounds of in
sanity. He showed several contradic.
tiope between McDonald's testimony
in that case and the present proceed
ings.

FIREWORKS AT
PEORIA CARNIVAL.
Big Displays Will Make Two Grand
Nights During the Motor Boat /.
Races at Peoria.

The evenings of Angst 18th and
Peoria by two big displays of fire
works-displays such as have never
been witnessed in this neck-o'-the
woods before. Hundreds Of dollars
are to so up in smoke on these two
nights from a naturally beautiful set
ting. Arrangements are being made
to fire all the pieces from out In the
lake near the opposite shore, directly
in front of the grandstand, thus re-
moving all dangers to the beholders
and creating a fine background for
these great night carnivals of the big
Water Carnival that that town Is
planning for.
More fast power boats are being
entered every day and the races on
the river will far out-class anything
that the middle west has ever known.
New engines are being bought new
hulls made, and other boats are being
overhauled in order to compete for the
big purses and trophies offered by
large establishments ir that city.
The gas balloon race is to be the
big item for Thursday, several bal
looms being already entered and in
terest growing every day. Such big
balloons have never been seen outside
of Indianapolis and St Louis and ex-
perienced people say that the sur
rounding country and season are ideal
for the sport and long flight is hoped
for. -

manufacturer, which warned him to
deliver $50 to a man who would
ask him for a cigar. If he failed they
would blow his head off.

The crack of rifles and heavy booming

themselves smuch pleased with the
showing made by the troops and Fort
Smelling will occupy secure position
In the favor of the war department for
another year.
The fort is an ancient Northwestern
landmark. It's old round tower which
is still standing, was erected in 1920,
a year after the establishment of the
fort. At that time Saint Paul was an
Indian trading post, and it's entire
growth has occurred since tae post
was laid out. Its early development
was under the guns of the fort and
the protection of the troops stationed
there. The fort has been continuously
occupied and is now one of the six
great army posts o fthe Pnited States.
