entire DAY GIVEN TO SELECTION
OF JURY AT The TIIAN TRIAL

New York. March Sin the same
room where he had twice faced a jury
for the killing of Stanford White.
Harry Kendall Thaw today went on
trial for conspiring to escape from
the state hospital for the criminal in
sane at Matteawan. With him as CO.
defendants were five men whom the
state charges with having been par
ties to the alleged conspiracy. The
entire day was required to complete
the jury. Taking Of testimony will be-
gin tomorrow morning.
New Fight For Freedom
From the outset Of the proceedings,
it was evident that the trial would be
another fight by. Thaw to gain his
freedom. His attorneys plainly init
mated that with the permission of the
court, they would offer evidence de-
signed to prove that their client was
sane when he escaped from the asy-
lum. Such being the case, they said,
in examining talesmen. the defend
ant was being illegally detained at the
time of his flight.
They asked prospective jurors
whether they would be prejudiced
against man who, providing that he
was Of sound mind, used any means
at his command to escape from a
hospital for the insane. These state
ments were amplified later by John
3 Stanchield, Thaw's chief counsel.
who said that should the jury find his
client not guilty, ne would immedi

on the ground that his detention was
illegal because the Jury would have
established his sanity
On the other hand the contention of
the state, as outlined while an assist
ant district attorney was questioning
talesmen, will be that Thaw, although
insane at the time of his escape, was
nevertheless competent to enter into
conspiracy and that therefore he
should he punished
If Found Guilty
Deputy Attorney General Kennedy
in charge Of the prosecution, said that
in the event of Thaw being found
guilty, he would be Immediately re-
turned to Matteawan.
The State, said Mr.. Kennedy. was pre-
pared to place half a hundred witnesses
on the stand. The first witness, he ad-
ded. would be William Penny, clerk Of
criminal branch Of the supreme court,
where the trial is in progress. Mr.. Pen
ny is to be asked to identify the court
record Of Thaw's second trial and the
commitment papers upon which he was
sent to the asylum on Feb. !, 1868.

STRIKERS IN BAD SHAPE.

Roosevelt, N. j., March 5.-That the
housing and living conditions among
the laborers who recently struck for
higher wages was "indescribably VILE
was one of the sensational statements
brought out at the hearing of the
state legislative committee which re.
sumed today its Investigations into
the conditions which caused the strike,
which resulted in the shooting of
strikers by deputy sheriffs. That dis.
ease is rampant. malaria, tuberculosis
and other dread scourges being so
common as to not even excite pity,
was the declaration of DR.. Max Jacoby,
a local physician. -. 50.
The trial of the 26 deputy sheriffs,
indicted for murder in connection with
the shooting of 19 strikers in January,
will be commenced late this month.
Counsel for the deputy sheriffs will
appear at Elizabeth on Saturday to
argue for separate trials of 1.-The in.
dlcted officials. A move is also plan.
ned to demand that the indictments
be quashed. on the ground that one
of the Grand Jurors had perjured the
case and had made public his views
before indictments were brought in.

His Splendid Record.
In asking the voters for second term
IN this office Mr.. Clark has a splendid
record back of him. Although ad-
vanced in years he-is one of the most
active officials in the county's service.
During his administration as tax
assessor he has completely revised
the method used to keep record of the
assessments, with the result that "a
number of property owners who had
previously been. overlooked have been
forced to pay their taxes In this way
the number of assessments has been
materially increased and the countys
receipts from taxes increased accord
ingly: without increasing the valuation
of the individuals property,
Mr.. Clark has been greatly assisted
in his work of assessing property by
his knowledge of surveying The
eight years he served as county sur
veyor helped to familiarize him with
every section of the county and man,
occasions have arisen when an applica
ton of his expert knowledge as a sur

correct valuation of a given piece o.

In addition to his ability as an OF
ficer Mr.. Clark is man of unquestion-
ed integrity and his friends have good
for forecasting his success IN
