No two witnesses have told the same story of the affair. It was believed that when Lieutenant 'Utley and Surgeon Cook arrived from Italy, where they were on duty, some further insight to the tragedy might be obtained. but these officers in their testimony succeeded. in only adding to the tangle of testimony.

MORSCHAUSPR NOT SURPRISED.
 Poughkeepsie. Aug. 12.-Attorney Charles Morschauser. who represented Thaw at White Plains. was not sur prised at the decision of Justice Mills, believing that Thaw's own conduct at the hearing proved to be his undoing. Morschauser left here about noon to go to White Plains to confer with his client. AS he took the train he said to a United Press representative:
 "Candidly. I rather anticipated this decision. 'Thaw's own conduct during the trial did not help his case any Judge Mills paid much attention to Thaw during the hearings and that is what caused me more than anything else. to look for the decision that was handed down to-day. I haven't seen the full decision yet but understand that it declares Thaw a paranoiac. We shall certainly appeal. If the court simply dismisses the writ that will be the end of this attempt. We are not discouraged and will try again when the proper time comes.
 "The decision may keep Thaw in the asylum for a time longer, but it does not really prove that Thaw is insane" A telephone message from Mattea- wan says that Thaw's former quarters there are being prepared for his return which is expected tonight.

 k Alice Thaw. the former Countess of Yarmouth, was the first member of the family to meet Thaw. She walked from the hotel and when she arrived at the jail Thaw was nervously pacing the corridors. Thaw embraced his sis- ter and she broke down and wept. They withdrew into his cell and talked together for Is minutes. Then the Countess hurried back to her mother at the hotel. warding off a number of photographers with her parasol. She refused to discuss her interview with her brother. B s< ;
 There was no crowd about the Court house when the decision was rendered. A few anxious women were in Justice Mills courtroom but they were dis appointed as the decision being filed with the clerk of the court. there was no court session.
 The Thaws had been trying for two hours to get Attorney Morschauser at Poughkeepsfe by, telephone but with out avail. They grew impatient as the time went by and perenptory demands that he come to White Plains were sent.

The Cooper Trial.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 20. -Withthe
stage set for the Cooper murder triad,
the witnesses present and the prospect
i've jurors summoned, it became known
this morning that the State had pre-
pared surprise for the defense by hay-
ing the body of Carmack exhumed and
an autopsy held.
After the murder, and in the excite
ment attendant upon the crime, the
State neglected to order postmorteIns
It is essential in the trial that the direc-
ton from which the bullets came shall
be determined. The States theory is
that Carmack, with his hat raised to
greet a lady, was shot from behind.
The defense asserts that he fired the
first shot. 1t seems, however, that
some time between the date of the kill
ing and the present time, the State Sc
cretly and at night eXhumed the body
OF the slain editor and caused a careful
postmortem to be performed. The
course of the bullets thus was deter
mined and the State claims to have
proof that the bullet which killed Car
mack entered his neck from behind.
The defense does not claim that Col.
Cooper fired the shots. 1t maintains
that young Cooper, believing his faith
er's life was in danger, fired upon Car
mack to protect his sire. And it is not
contended that young Cooper stood any
place but behind.
Both sides announced readiness to
proceed, and Judge Hart ordered the
panel sworn.

was . bright, Intellectual woman, one
who was not content, after her sradua-
ton ut Miss Nourse's, to sit still and
play the society girl. She did not need to
teach-that IL. from the former stand
point-since her father was an attor.
nsy in comfortable circumstances.
None Of Miss Herron's sisters worked,
yet all were fond Of the Intellectual
life.
The primary classes which Miss
Heron had were not very large. and
she ruled through her gentleness
alone. She taught the usual subjects
assigned such grades. The classes
came to her In turn rather than she
having one set room. There were As
boys In the department at that time,
and OF these eight or ten formed her
pupils.
Those were the days of Miss Her
ron's debutantehood. and she Ia re-
called not only as . good teacher,
but also rs good musician. In fact,
Miss Heron was looked on by her
set ~ q very Intellectual girl.
