The Proper Kind of Case For ThssS

The violin and violoncello are NEST

suffer from atmospheric variations
quite as much as the tender vocal
cords of the singer. Those who have
attempted to make the violin an orna-
ment by hanging it upon the wall have
had reason to repent taking such a
liberty. The violin loses its varnish
and gradually its pitch and timbre.

Certain qualities. sometimes unsus-

part in the Justification of notes, caus-
ing progressive deterioration. There
was a time when manufacturers ap-
piled to their product several coats of

For commercial purposes this was

the purchaser was that as soon as he
began to use his instrument exposed

employed 10 color the wood and pre-

AN IDOL IN COURT

FOSS TO GET LAST
WORD Of AL|EN|STS
ON SLAYER TODAY
One Expert Known to
Have Doubts About Richie
sons Accountability"

BOSTON, Mass, May 1i.--Clarence V.
T. Richeson, condemned TO die within a
week following midnight Sunday for the
murder OF Avis Linnell, was expected to
know his fate today when the reports of
the last two alienists who examined him
reached Governor Foss. Three alIenists
had reported to the Governor but he re-
fused to make up his mind or to discuss
them until all tive reports were in.
The condemned man still was in his
cell in Charles street jail and Indications
were that he might not be removed to
the death cell before tonight or possibly
tomorrow night. Sheriff quinn practi
cally stated that Richeson's removal. IL
made, would be IN the night, because OF
the morbid crowds that have surrounded
the jail during the pRst few days.
II Is known that the report CT only one
alienist so far contained any doubt Of
Richeson being "accountnblc' Should
the two remaining reports si'le with the
majorty Richesons fate will be sealed,
for Governor Foss then might not even

An evidence of llicheson's slender
chance for life, even should the Gov
CInor decide to refer the case to the
council, is seen in a resume of the votes
the same council has taken IN commu-
tation of death sentences and their IN
dividual feelings in sucn cases.
Councillor Edward d. Collins. of Bos-
ton, often has expressed opposition to
capital punishment. Winfield Suster is
opposed to the death penalty. but not 80
strongly aS Collins. The remaining
members, according to previously cx-
pressed opinions believe the governor $
codncil should never interfere with the
course of the law. 1t, therefore, Is be-
lcVed that the councils vote would be

Governor Foss admitted that there
were conflicting opinions in the three
reports already submitted to him by
the alienists. This means that at least

New York Hears
That Evelyn Thaw
Is in Pittsburgh

NEW YORK, May l4.-Mrs Harry
X. TEaw herself has gone into Sc
clusion and is said to be at the home of
her mother, Mrs. c. j. Holman. in Pitts
burgh, who refuses to discuss the story.
Thaw himself sends out word from
Matteawan that he has nothing to say.
Mrs. William Thaw. his mother is sim
ilarly silent. jerome o Reilly and other
lawyers who were concerned in the
Thaw trial cast doubt upon the story.
Drs. Flint and Evans. physicians and
aienists, who have been identified pro-
fesslonally with the principals in the
case from the beginning express sur
prise al the news. At the Borchard
apartments in West Ninety eighth
street, where Mrs. Thaw Is known to
have resided, 1t was said that she left
there last Friday, up to which time the
mothership of the boy was not known.
Finally the assertion is made by one
who was companion of Mrs. ThaW,
one of those who have been in close
communication with her since Harry
Thaw shot Stanford White. that a child
was born to her during her stay abroad
and that few days ago the child was
in charge of a cOlored nurse 1t the
West Ninety-eighth street apartment,
and was frequently seen in the COM
PAM of this nurse on Riverside Drive.
Retired for Time
In corroboration of the story the fact
may be pointed out that for a long per-
iod prior to the alleged birth of the
child Mrs Thaw dropped out of public
notice entirely, her retiring eliminating

child Is declared to have been born.

The fund is administered by a COM

miners, the mine owners, the State, and
others.
The system has worked with uniform
success, Mr.. Blcknel said, and has
resulted In guarding the widows against
bad investments. against the machina-
tions of men who might be tempted by
large sum of money, and in protect
ing the children during their period of
growth 1t has also given the commits
sion power to regulate the manner of

during the floods I'm Paris in January.
1910. was presented by Viscount d'Har-
court. Food and lodging were provided,
temporary hospitals established and
nurseries for children were maintained.
When the floods subsidized measures
were taken to prevent miasmatic fever
from the overflowed lands. truck gard
eners were aided in getting in Ihoir
crops and vacation colonies were estab-

The experience was regarded as most
valuable. 1t was successful and also
showed that the best preparation OF
the Red Cross for war is to keep itself
in working order in times of peace. and
to extend aid in time of natural dis
aster.
Viscount d'Harcourt paid high tribute
to the work of the women nurses, stat.
ing that their work not only alleviated
suffering, but that 1t disarmed sus'

there had been hostility.
