BUGABoo OF 1870 BANIsHED.

The accomplishment of this was the

a year ago this week. In history the
feat will be known as the victory of
the Battle of the Marne.
Not only did this victory probably

THAW ON TRIAL FOR
ALLEGED CONSPIRACY
Famous Prisoner Enters Court
to Face Accusers With Smil-
ing Countenance. ~

New York, March 9.-Harry Kendall
Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, smil-
ingly came into the criminal branch of
the supreme court here today to stand
trial for conspiracy to escape from the
state hospital for the criminal insane
at Matteawan. Five men charged with
assisting in the conspiracy were placed
on trial with him.
Mrs. Mary Copely Thaw, the chief
defendants mother, accompanied by
Mrs. George Carnegie, Thaw's sister,
appeared in court early. Thaw ap-
peared to be In excellent health.
When the names Of Thaw's co-defen-
dants were called none of them an
swered. Deputy sheriffs were sent into
the corridors of the court house and
finally came back with the other de-
fendants-Roger Thompson, Eugene
Duffy, Thomas Flood, Richard J. But
Ter and Michael O'Keefe.
Five OF the IL jurors who will decide
the case Of Harry K. Thaw. were Sc
lected within three hours today. When
court recessed for luncheon indications
were that the Jury o might be filled
by night.
In selecting these jurors, both state
n defense showed something OF their
plans. The state indicated that IL
would seek Thaw's conviction for n
spiracy to escape from Matteawan on
the grounds that, although an insane
man, Thaw had unimpaired capacity to
conspire; the defense asked questions

that Thaw was sane at h time he
escaped, or would rely upon the prose

KILLED WHILE RoBBING TOMB
PIunderer of Egyptian sarcophasus
Crushed When Roof Fell In, and
Companions Fled.

Professor Petrie, the eminent Egyp-
tologist, while exploring about thirty.
five miles from Cairo, discovered a
tomb OF the Twelfth Dynasty that
thieves bad broken into thousands of
years ago. A tragedy attended the
robbery, as Professor Petrie also dis
covered. The Sunday School Times
calls 1t "a tragedy of ~providential
Justice" .,- .as
1T appears" says Professor Petrie,
that the plunderers removed only a
few bricks, SO that a man could crawl
into the tomb. One of the men entered,
opened the coffin, lifted the mummy
out and laid it across the coffin, so
that he could easily unwind the band.
ages. He first found a collar of beads,
which he passed out into the shaft,
where we found it. Then he came to
the jewels "a beautiful work of gold
and colored gems), and took it from
the body. Before he could do anything
more the roof apparently fell in, and
crushed him and the mummy. The
other robbers, seeing the fate Of their
accomplice, abandoned the tomb, and
filed In the shaft to hide their guilt"
The explorers found the skeleton of
the robber beside that of the mummy.
