their health.

GOOD WORK.

II is the consensus OF opinion the:
Evelyn Nesbit never came nearer to
gaining widespread public approval
than she has done during the pas;
week in refusing to meet the demands
of the New York state officials that
she take the stand and testify against
Harry Thaw, the much abused pris-
oner and slayer OF the infamous
White Evelyn Sesbit owes Harry
Thaw a great debt. and she knows it.
She knows full well that 1t would be
deseTtlon Of the basest kind for her
to take the stand against him, after
all that he has sacrificed for her.
Harry Thaw is not insane today and
all the court decision in the world
won't change public opinion on this
question. The lawyers who are try
ing to send Harry Thaw back to the
madhouse know down in their hearts
that he is not insane. or if they be-
lieve him insane they show a degrad-
ing lack OF the ability to think prop
erly and they are much less rational,
if they really believe that Harry Thaw
is insane. than the prisoner whom
they are trying to railroad" back to
Matteawan.
Evelyn Nesbit has scored a big nit
with the general public in the stand
she has taken in regard to testifying
against her husband. and should the
state press the point and compel her
to testify against her wishes, there
will be little gained for the states at
torneys.
The resentment OF New York's &C.
ton in the Thaw case is not confined
TO any one class of citizens. The
thinking people and the most law.
abiding in the land are the loudes;
in denouncing the action Of New
York.
The jury in the Thaw case refused
to brand Thaw as murderer, and do
clared him insane III order to escape
any other verdict. fully believing that
he would soon be ronounced normal
and set free. But the state OF New
York has seen fit to harass Thaw and
his family ever since that day.
II the jury in the present Thaw
trial have any respect for public sent.
inent they will declare him free
man very soon. whether or not the
state is able TO compel Evelyn Nesbit
to testify. The whole case is ahom-
rable and a blot on the state Of New
York, and 1t is to be hoped that the
jury will once and for all settle the
Thaw litigation-and settle it right.
