EVELYN WOULD
help HARRY OUT
OF The ASYLUM

New York, Dec. 2S.-"Harry can &c,
out of Matteawan if he will accept and
follow my advice" said Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw last night. She has just
learned that the United States su.
preme court had ordered him returned
to New York state, where he will be
put back in the insane asylum or tried
for conspiracy in escaping from the
institution.
Her statement came as a surprise
because for several years she has
fought to keep him in the asylum, ex>
pressing her fear that he would try to
kill her and her baby son.
The young woman. central figure in
the events leading up to the murder OF
Stanford White, added that if Harry
would send for her she would tell him
how to get out of Matteawan. She
said she would give him this advice:
GO back to Matteawan for while
and take your medicine. Give up the
idea that you and your ego form a
greater institution than the state Of
New York. Stop trying to run Mat
teawan by fomenting discord and
physicians removed.
If Harry would regulate his con.
duct along these lines he would soon
impress the Matteawan authorities
with the belief that Ne was sane and
he would be freed" added Evelyn.

There never was a time in all his

so interviewer in the transactions Of

how inconsequential are those things
which have been felt to be paramount

A splendid pair Of mittens found
their way to the editorial desk in the
Times Record office, if they were

For a beautiful Shrine stick pin that
came through the mail addressed to
the editor of the Times Record there
are no words to express the sense of
appreciation. There are so many rough
places in the path of the average
newspaper man that such tokens of
appreciation touch a very tender
chord. Thanks, it fits.

SIZZLING WEATHER IN MANY
SOUTHERN STATES

Saturday, we believe, broke all To-
cal records for its high temperature.
Mr.. F. G. B. Weihe, United States
weather observer for Ocala, reports
that the temperature reached 81 on
Friday and 81 yesterday. These rec
ords would ordinarily be high for July
and August. On Friday number OF
southern cities reported that the mer-
curry had reached the 100 mark. Prac-
tically all sections showed high tenn
peratures and a general continuance
of drouth conditions The heat rec
ords for June breaks all former rec
ords. There are "hot times" in many
old towns all over the south.
The highest temperature was from
Petersburg, Va, where a government
thermometer registered 100 degrees,
breaking all local records for the
month. Rain fell there late in the
day, bringing relief. Greensboro, N.
c., had a maximum temperature of
1903; Norfolk, Va, and Montgomery,
Ala, 1O1, and Anderson, S. c., and
Richmond, Va, and Columbus, Ca,
100.

IF WE WERE GOVERNOR OF
GEORGIA THIS MAN WOULD
BE PARDONED

Punishment, it seems to us, in a
supposedly Christian land, should be
for reformation for the criminal. We
ought not to inflict punishment for
the sake of satisfying and gratifying
that which is brutal in our nature.
We have reao SO many stories of
punishment that is enough to make
ones heart weep blood. We have
read more pathetic stories than the
following but it is truly pathetic
enough, and in this case, and all other
cases like it, if we were robed with
the pardoning power they would no
longer grieve the souls of the merci-
full
The story runs:
After ten years of freedom which
he took from the state of Georgia
when his S-year-old son was killed
by lightning, bringing what he
thought was sufficient earthly pun
ishment, Thomas P. Busbee in At.
lanta Saturday prepared to return to
convict camp.
Busbee escaped from a Lowndes
ccounty turpentine convict camp in
1904. He had served two years of a
five-year term to which he was SEN
fenced in Wilcox county for robbing.
A few days ago he was located at
Lyman, Miss, where he was living
happily with his sons and daughters,
who had grown to manhood and wo-
manhood during his freedom.
He was brought back to Georgia by
r. M. Gardner, of the Prison Com
mission.
Il was serving time for a crime

and camp cook and had determined
to bear my burden until one day /
got hold of a newspaper and saw that
my son had been killed by lightning.
Then l went crazy.
Il hardly knew what l was doing.
slipped away from the camp and
made the journey home in time to at
tend the funeral.
"The thought of returning to the
convict stripes never entered my
head. l escaped to Lyman, Miss,
where got work.
81 was made a sort of foreman in
a lumber camp and Immediately sent
for my wife and children. We were
mighty happy in Mississippi. All of
my boys are grown now. Two of
them are railroad engineers and an
other is fireman just about ready
to take his engine. 1 thought l would
spend the rest of my days there.
Then I was arrested again. 1t is
pretty hard, I tell you"
Busbee will be taken Sunday to
the Rockdale county camp to start
again ON serving his sentence.

FOUR CHICAGO BANKS IN TROU

The four Chicago state banks that
have been closed by the state comp

for it's president William Lorimer, the
lately deposed United States senator.
The four banks were the LaSalle
Street Trust and Savings Bank, the
Broadway State Bank, the Illinois
State Bank and the Ashland Twelfth
Street State Bank, known as the Lor-
imer-Munday chain of banks. The
LaSalle Street Bank was the main in.
stitution. Combined the banks have
deposits of $6,411,997 and reported
cash means of $1,643, 692.
OF deposits 100000 consists of city
funds. The bulk of this amount, $780,
900 is on deposit with the LaSalle
Street Trust and Savings Bank.
An examination of the LaSalle
Street Trust and Savings Bank by
Harkin two months ago. disclosed, he
said, quantity of what he regarded
as slow assets. State officials say
the bank officials pleaded for time to
change that condition. In the last
three weeks, according to Harkin and
the cashier of the bank, there has
been what is termed a mild run on
the bank, causing depletion of about
S1,000,O00 in deposits.

Our friend, the Fort Lauderdale
Sentinel is considerably peeved over
the primary election. A search of the
columns of Fridays issue fails to re-
veal the slightest reference to the
election, except this: IF Stockton is
really defeated we shall believe that
the old gang is coming into its own
again; but one thing is certain unless
something is done to make the finan-
cial conditions subserve the people
or they will be forced to hunt relief
from other parties. They surely loose
faith in the old parties. Let us study
public questions and unselfishly do
our duty we may rescue the public
from destruction" The Sentinel

going to destruction, and nobody of
the people or the democratic party is
