TWICE BREAK IN
 DOOR OF CAPITOL
And Twice Caldwell & Drake's WatChman Replaces It, Following Action of Capitol Commissioners in
 Taking Possession.

Little Rock, July 16-The State Canitol Commissioners assumed actual possession of the new cap itol building yesterday morning, after breaking open the door, which had been nailed up by or dor of Caldwell & Drake and put five carpenters and 13 convicts to work preparing the building for the resumption of the work of construction. The door was broken open by G. A. DeLambert the engineer who was placed in charge of the building recently by the commission and by order of Governor Donaghey..
 Joe Thompson the negro watch man who has been looking after the building for Caldwell & Drake for several months notified Tom Wilson the local representative of the contractors that forclble entrance had been made to the building and in accordance with the instructions of MT. Wilson the watchman nailed up the door when the force left the building for dinner. On the return Of the workmen the door was again broken open and the work of de- molishng injured portions of the building was resumed. When the men quit work at night Thomp- son again nailed up the door
 The members of the commission and the two New York engineers assistants of Cass Gilbert the architects arrived at the build ing about 10 o'clock and after a brief conference put the carpen- ters and convicts to work.
 Previous to the meeting of the commissioner the Penitentiary Board held a short session at which it was ordered that the superintendent be directed to deliver to the State Capitol Com mission 100 convicts or less upon the agreement of the commission to pay fifty cents per day for each convict, to pay the ex- peDses of guards and maintain ence the order to be effective whenever the commission should adopt resolution accepting the terms the settlements to be made monthly This motion was a sub stltute to one made by Commits sioner Tucker to the effect that t convicts not to exceed 100 in number be delivered to the com mission on demand

MRS. ThAW TESTIFIED.

White Plains, N. Y., July 15-- Harry k. Thaw's pretty little wife, formerly the chorus girl, Evelyn NeSbit went on the stand here today, and gave damaging testimony against him. It was the strongest point scored so far by the state in it's fight tot. keep Thaw in the asylum for the crim- inal insane at Mattewan. He de- mands his release through hab- eas corpus procedure on the ground that he is a sane man When today's session was con- cluded adjournment was taken until July 26i
 For three days the state has been trying to bring out that Thaw threatened his wife's life on one of her visits to Mattew an as tending to show his irrational ity Blocked at first by objections which were sustained by the court, Thaw's attorney at last failed to prove that the alleged conversation at Mattewan was confidential as between WlIe and man and when Evelyn Thaw took the witness chair this afternoon her lips were unsealed. She re- lated, as if in fear what Thaw's lawyer has sought most to keep back his alleged threat to take her life if he were released from the asylum.
 Whether assumed or not the trimswitness in blue expressed ap- prehension while testifying. She was quoted afterward as saying she testified because of the treat ment she received at the hands of the Thaw family, but on the stand she apparently struggedl hard not to tell and when com- pelled to do so by the court she obeyed reluctantly and tear fully.
