HARRY THAW IS
PUT ON STAND
Spent Five Hours of Killing
Anniversary Under Jer-
ONES Questioning.

White Plains. NJ. Y. June 60
Harry K. Thaw spent five hours today
the sixth anniversary of his shooting
of Stanford White. on the witness
stand under fire of examination hy
William T. Jerome. who is opposing
Thaw's fight for release from the Mat
tea"an ASYLUM. Today Mr.. Jerome
reminded the witness suddenly of the
anniversary Of the tragedy and ques-
toned him sharply as to circumstance
es Of the killing. Both Thaw and his
counsel Clarence j. Shearn. quickly
interposed objections on the ground
that Mr.. Jerome was showing animus
and serving private interests. Mr..
Jerome declared his questioning was
within the province Of a mental Ax-
animation" and he was generally up
held by Judge Keogh. but was un-
successful in his apparent attempts
to make h witness display undue
agitation. The question OF Thaw's mo-
tive in killing White did not bother
him.
1T was nm account of the cold
Hooded way in which he had done
things to my wife and other girls" he
declared firmly. He refused 10 answer
when Jerome asked If he was insane
during the half minute he was killing
White. But he said later: II think
my mental condition was the same as
that OF General Daniel Sickles when
he shot Key"
But" Jerome quickly retorted.
General Sickles did not hide behind
a woman's skirts. as Evelyn testified
the other day you had done"
Thaw said that by a combination OF
his W opinion and that Of his alien
lists he had arrived at the conclusion
that he is now sane.
At another time Mr. Jerome asked;
MI. Thaw'. will You describe in de-
tail the killing of Stanford White by
you?"
II don't think I'm able"
You described it to DR.. Russell In
1911 did you not?"
No"

of the killingo"

arise? Is your memory impairedo"

Piled again n again that he could
not ansewr: the questions were too
broad. WV
You understand that we are here
to find out if we can whether Won are
crazy or not. don't you?" asked
Jerome. o
II can't answer that question:" re-
piled Thaw.
Asked why he could not, the witness
would not answer.

Would Protect Birds.

Il believe the present congress
should pass some legislation for the
protection of the migratory birds OF
this continent" said former Repre-
sentative George shiras of Pennsyl-
vania- Mr.. ;Shiras is one of the most
experienced naturalists in this coun-
Try, and has devoted years of study
TO tn" habits and movements of ami
mails and birds. He possesses one of
the finest collections of photograp hs
and paintings of animals and birds
in the country.
Would you believe me when l say
that there is hut one Wild pigeon on
the entire North American continent?
In" only specimen of this bird is pos
sesSed by the Cincinnati z~oological
gardens. 1t is a female and is -
years Old. Its mate died about two
years ago. Their was d time when
wild pigeons were almost as plentiful
States as the English sparrow. But
the hunters got after them in such
numbers and made such inroads upon
them that now they have been com
plete!y exterminated from this section
of the globe.
The Audubon society has had \
standing offer of $1,000 reward for
any ono VINO would produce a wild
pigeon. but up to the present time
none has been found. This type of
Wild bird has been completely wiped
out. Unless congress passes some
stringent regulation regarding the
protection of other migratory birds,
the same thing will happen to them
rhat has resulted in the destruction
of the wild pigeon.
Game birds of all description
should be afforded ample protection
from those who make il their business
TO slaughter thousands every year.
