More Work and Less Talk.

"A contemporary very truthful
ly says that when it comes to
talking good roads, Kentucky
can hold her own in any com.
pany, "but when it comes to
building them there is another

tue. If oratory would build
roads, then we should have nolack
of first.class thorouhg-fares any
where from the mouth of Sandy
to Mill' Point. Really, we ought

substantial results. Let's shoot

ISSUES STATEMENT.
DR.. May Says Witness Statements
arc Misleading in Thaw Case.


Albany July 4.--Dr. James V. May,
Iced of Che state Commission in Lu-
macy. issued a statement yesterday,
regarding the testimony of Miss Nella
Louise Greening, who admitted at the
Thaw hearing in White Plains Tues
DAY.. that DIR. May and Thaw had al
tered the records before they were in
corpcrate1 in the case book.
Miss GreeninK, an unwilling witness,
also said he had omitted many of
Thaw's answers. Here is DR.. Mays
statement:
Miss Greetings statement has
proved misleading and the conclusions
apparently drawn from her testimony
are un&arranted. Nothing WIS sup
pressed. although material which was
absolutely irrelevant was left out as
useless and unnecessarily Completing
the already voluminous records.
MIR. Thaw was allowed the privilege.
which was agreed upon before he would
consent to submit to an examination,
of reading the typewriter account
Such corrections of errors as he noted
in lead pencil on the copy. and as on
termination proved to be proper ones,
We're subsequently made by the stem
ogra pher. In no case did these correc-
tions have any material bearing on the
facts brought out, or on the conclu-
sions indicated by the examination.
THE errors contained in the steno-
grapher's report were corrected after
very careful consideration by DR.. Rus
sell and myself To the best OF my
knowledge and belief. Thaw has new
er seen the revised typewriter re-
port of the examination. There was
no suppression of facts and no mis-
representation. ANY investigation of
Thaw's mental condition by impartial
observers will, | am satisfied, result
in nothing essentially different"
No stipulation such as DIR. May
mentions appears in the case book.
No one who has had to do with san
ity hearings and who could be reach
ed, last night. ever heard of stipu-
Ia ton being made with a prisoner
William Travers jerome, attorney for
the state, said:
"The records in the case book are
valuable only when they show just
how prisoner answers questions put
to him. This is the sole purpose of
the record. Every answer is supposed
to be set down just as made as this
is the only way the prisoners mental
status can be determined.
