THE CRAZY MAN

Wednesday morning Y. NJ. Smith
saw a man swiping garden truck
and concealing by burying it in the
ground and acting in very pecu-
liar manner, he telephoned for
Marshal Calhoun who arrested him
and later he had trial and he was
fined for petty larceny and sent to
Prosser with the idea that if his
peculiar mental condition did not
clear up, he could be examined as
to his sanity and legal disposition
made of him. The same day an
article and a picture resembling the
man arrested here, appeared in the
Spokesman Review. The article
stated that he had left his home.
Poison, Mont, July 18th to go t.
register for land and had not bcen
heard OF, since. His wife had come
to Spokane to look for him. Mar
shall Calhoun wrote her in regard
to his condition and gave minute
description of him and his belong
ings. He also communicated with
Sheriff Mcneil but it cannot be
settled yet whether he is the Mon
tana man until the identification is
more complete. The man gave the
name of Huron Smith here but the
name of the Montana man was
Charles Baruth.

WHITE PLAINS, N. r., July 2S.-
Harry Thaw took the stand in his
own behalf In the inquiry into his
sanity this morning. Attorney Nor
schauser, representing Thaw. waived
a direct examination OF the witness.
as he was unwilling to have him
cross-examlned by District Attorney
Jerome after he had been tired out
by questions on direct examination.
Jerome opened the examination by
asking: Why are you here?" II
am here in response to habeas cor
pus proceedings looking TO my re-
lease from Matteawan." was Thaws'
reply Why were you committed"
was the district attorneys next ques-
ton. Because" said Thaw, "at the
end Of my second trial for the murder
Of Stanford White / was acquitted,
but instead of being given my lib
erty the judge committed me to this
place" He was then asked the ques-
tion as to the reason for his being
acquitted and said: Il was aequit-
ted. think. because the counsel on
both sides of the case believed and
told that | was suffering from de-
fusion at the time ! killed White. "
Thaw showed considerable nervous
ness during his examination by Jer-
ONE.

Jerome mentioned the fact that

why he did 50. Thaw replied that It
was because of the fact that he dis
liked the doctor. When asked for
the reason Of his dislike. he replied:

tort. Il was legally insane"
