this town And the neighboring town of
Walden failed to reveal the where
abouts of Joseph Pascal of South WAL
den, who is alleged to have beaten and
shot Charles Perkins at his home in
South Walden last night, causing his
death. 1t was planned to keep up the
search during tonight. An autopsy
held today disclosed the fact that
death was due to blows from a blunt
instrument which crushed the chest,
fractured three ribs and ruptured the
aorta. 1t was the opinion of the ply
sicians who performed the autopsy, one
of whom was DIR. s. E. Darling of
Hardwick, that the bullet wound in
the wrist was inflicted after the other
injuries. Perkins was 72 years of age.
Pascal, after threa tening other mem

is said to have gone to Perkins house
in search of his wife, who left home
after a quarrel with Pascal yesterday
afternoon, together with her three
small children. The couple have five
other children who do not live at home.
Both men were farmers. Corliss Pas
cal, brother of the missing man, who
gave himself up to the authorities after
the shooting, said that he knew Moth

Streets Filled With Idle Men.
The streets of Stockholm present a
curious appearance. They are filed
forth, noting the changed conditions,

ers, many of whom belong to the bet
ter classes. All the saloons are closed
today and only the best restaurants are
permitted to remain open. Even here
it is possible TO get wine only by or
dering full meal.
/ All the ferries have stopped run
ming, and there is little communica-
tion between Stockholm and the sub
urbs, which are reached by water
routes. This fact will result in a fur
ther diminution of food supplies.
For the present al lis quiet In the
city, but trouble is expected when the
stocks Of food begin to run low.
Provincial Towns Quiet.
The strike is by no means general
in the provincial towns and industrial
centers of Sweden. In most places
the street cars are running, and the
city employees at work as usual. Work
in a number of factories has been sus-
pended, but this condition is not uni
versal and no disturbances have been
reported. The strikers total about as
600 men, of whom 5000 are at Malmo.
Barring the fact that some factories
are closed, there is little change in
the ordinary life of the port of NAL
mo. The loading of ships at Gothen-
burg, where 10000 men are on strike,
is being done by the rtoops.

Stockholm, A5ug. 4.-The labor con-
fiict in Sweden shows signs this morn
ing of becoming more acute, and the
ranks of the strikers are considerably
swelled. The general strike called for
today, however, has not yet become
entirely effective. Many organizations,
although sympathizing with the strik-
ers, hesitate to join them actively.
The employees of the street car lines
and the cab drivers stopped work this
morning and neither cabs nor street
cars are available. Although the rail-
road men have decided not to strike,
the government is taking the precau-
ton to guard the tracks with troops
fearing attempts to blow up bridges
or injure the permanent way. Quanti-
ties of dynamite are reported to have
mysteriously disappeared recently from
the government stores.
The troops are protecting the gas
works and the electric lighting plant,

Paris, Aug. 5--A sudden official an

sensation in Paris which had not seen
an execution in fifteen years. Imme-

the scene but were kept back from
the guillotine by heavy details of police

Must Offset Damaging Testimony Given by the
State AlieniStS
ITALIAN LUNATIC INTERRUPTS TRIAL
Counsel for Prisoner Promises Introduce Some Letters
that will be One of the Sensations at the Hearing O.
day-Effort to Discount Testimony Given About
Thaw's Alleged Decisions.

White Plains, N. Y, Aug. 4-The
state rested in the Thaw case today
and from now on it devolves upon
Harry K Thaw and his attorney,
Charles Morschauser, to offset the
testimony of the state alienists who
have sworn without exception under
the cross examination of District At
torney Jerome, that Thaw is still in
sane and would be a menace to the
community il released from the asylum
at Matteawan.
John b. Gleason, Thaw's original le-
gal adviser after the shooting Of Stan
ford. White, came to Thaw's aid late
this afternoon and cleared up few
old mysteries, sweeping away some of
Thaw's apparent yagaries upon which
Mr.. Jerome has dwelt so persistently.
Mr.. Gleason's most advantageous
statement, from the prisoners stand
point, concerned Thaw's change of
counsel during his trial and the en-
the engagement of Dolphin M. Delmas
as chief counsel for Thaw. This had
been done at his (Gleason's) orders,
he said and was not due to a whim of
Thaws.
Thaw's lawyer hopes that Thaw's
attitude toward Stanford White was
not due to delusions as the state con-
tends, but was prompted by what
Thaw knew of Whites practices Mr..
Gleason has about fifty letters which
he received from Thaw and they may
prove to be one of the sensations of
the hearing tomorrow if read. Mr..
Morschauser tried to prove the charg-
es against White today by reading
parts Of Evelyn Thaw's testimony at
the trials. Thaw's letters to Mr.. Glea-
son bear upon this, it is thought.
Trying to Clear "DeIusion."
Irving to clear Thaw of another
"delusion," Mr. Gleason presented a
report of detectives regarding an al
legged attempt on Thaw's life on the
night Of December a. 1903. The word
ing of this document was not made
public, but it was introduced to coun-
teract the states contentious that
Thaw had deusions concerning the
Monk Eastman gang, which he be-
lieved had been engaged by his enc
mics to beat and perhaps kill him,
and after Whites death the architects
friends entered into conspiracy to
railroad his slayer to Matteawan."
If he can show that Stanford White
and number of wealthy friends did
maintain several establishments where
young girls were ruined and that an
attempt really was made on his clients
life, Mr.. Morschauser will be able %
dissipate some of the "delusion" evil
dence of the state He intimates that
he has some surprises in store for the
remaining days Of the hearing, includ-
Ing ten lay witnesses, who may testify
az to what Thaw knew of White.

other amusements.

looking Italian, about so years old,
who had hung around the place all the
morning, tried to force his way into
the room and until the attendants
refused him admission he waved a
letter and demanded to see the New
York district attorney.
Tell Thaw they will rob him as
they robbed me Of my children he
yelled.

rome to help him obtain the release
of his two little girls from the juvenile
asylum in New York. No weapons
were found on him. Physicians had
pronounced him probably harmless

Quotation from Some Letters.

Macdonald. was excused and Mr..
Jerome introduced two letters written
by Thaw to Dennison Lyon of Pitts
burg, in which Evelyn Nesbit and
Stanford were mentioned. In one
Thaw said: Il purposely conjure these
prisoners"
The first written before his marriage
spoke Of "the popular babboon who
really the worst rotter in America. :"
These letters were not used at the

nificant. The district attorney then
announced his case closed and Mr..
Morschauser called as the first of his
remaining lay witnesses John B. Glea-
son of New York, one of Mr.. Thaw's
attorneys at the first trial
Mr. Gleason said he dictated to Thaw
the letter under which he severed re-
lations with his first counsel Black
Gruber. Olcott and Bonyinge and L. L.
Delafeld.
why did you advise this?'
Partly on the advice of Drs. Allen
McLane Hamilton and Charles Dana
and c. w. Hartridge. The responsible
ity of discharging those attorneys is
mine"
Mr.. Gleason said he was first infu-
enced to question the alienists by
Thaw's assertions that his counsel in
tended to send him to Matteawan.
The witness denied that Thaw's
bearing during the first trial was POM
pous or dictatorial or in any way IRA
tional He said that Thaw refused to
agree to an insanity defense at his
first trial. He declared his belief that
Thaw was insane when he shot White.
The private memoranda of Mr. Glea-
son regarding the conduct of the first
trial contained note that various
trivial instances of Thaw's conduct
were not worth putting in evidence
since his wife characterized these
slight outbreaks as hang overs and
not insanity.
+ When Mr. Gleason left. the stand
Thaw's attorney began reading from
the minutes of the second trial He
said that this would occupy all the
rest of the afternoon and continue to-
morrow and Friday.
