STATE CLOSES CASE
AGAINST HARRY THAW
m lotions Of Thaw's Counsel to Dismiss
Indictment Are Denied-Qusstion Of
Thaw's Sanity Apparently Not to Be
Admitted.

Thaw's Sanity Apparently Not to Be
Admitted.
New York, March H. The state
closed it's case against Thaw at 1928
p. m. today. Motions by Mr.. Stanch-
field to dismiss the indictment against
Thaw and by Abraham Levy, on behalf
of the other defendants were denied.
Justice Page today sustained an OBJ
lection by Deputy Attorney General
Kennedy to questions asked by Thaw's
counsel as to Thaw.s sanity. The ruling
Of the court was token to mean that
the question OF Thaw's sanity would not
be admitted.
Thaw.s attempt to ret evidence con-
cerning his sanity into the records of
his trial for conspiracy to escape from
Matteawan failed today. Justice Page
ruled out all testimony of this char
acter except just enough to show that
Thaw had the mental capacity to enter
into conspiracy to escape. Justice
Page asserted that the, injection of
testimony designed to prove the sanity
OF Thaw was improper in this case,
which was purely to try an Indictment
charging an illegal conspiracy.
The state brought its case to close
this forenoon and the defense made the
usual motions to dismiss the case. The
motions were all denied.
After a motion was made by the de-
tense in behalf of Michael O'Keefe, on
the ground that no evidence had been
adduced to connect him with the al
legged crime, Justice Page granted the
motion and discharged O'Keefe.
Michael Kelsey. of Colebrook, Canada,
testified to meeting Thaw and Roger
Thompson on train in Vermont, and
described how he and Constable Drew
chased Thaw into Canada. where his
arrest followed.
Kelsey, who had charge of Thaw, was
asked whether he thought Thaw was
rational. The prosecution objected and
was sustained. The jury was excused
while the attorneys argued on the adj
mission of lay testimony in regard to
Thaws sanity. In arguing for admis-
sion of such testimony, John Stanch-
field. counsel for Thaw, said it was
Thaw's idea when he escaped that II he
did not escape from the asylum he
might become insane from association.
Stanchfield said he admitted the escape
was unlawful but not criminal act.
Justice Page admitted that he could
place Thaw on the stand and ask him
whether his escape from Matteawan
was in pursuance of the belief that to
remain his reason would become
shaken.

ship William P. Frye by the German
commerce destroyer Prinx Eitel Fried
rich, which is undoubtedly the most
serious incident Of The war 30 far a.
the United States is concerned. was
being unraveled here today.
Chased to an American haven. the
Prinz Eitel lay at anchor, and the
commander has received orders to
Leave within twenty four hcurs-a- for-
mality required BY law. After seven
months Of sea rowing the Eitel needs
repairs which will lake weeks.
The neutrality board a. Washington
had recommended that the repairs be
allowed under supervision Of an Amer
ican naval officer. Whether the Eiters
commander will choose to make them
and then make a dash thru the British
cruisers laying off tne Virginia, capes,
is a question for the future.
Refuses to Rsisass Prisoners.
The Eiters prisoners, several hun
dred in number, were on The rails and
the crew was busted today cleaning
the ship.
Commander Thierichsen would not
consent to the departure OF prisoners.
neither would he give up the ships
papers showing the prizes he had
taken. Officials pointed ,ut, however,
that II the Eitel should inferno the
problem Of the prisoners would be
solved. The crew Of the Eitel only
would be interned by the United
States. Port officials received noti-
fication from immigration sofficers at
Washington that all eligible immi-
grants would be permitted to land, On
that ruling six women. brought ashore
last night, were sent back to the Eitel.
They had been passengers on French
passenger ship. immigration Inspec-
tor Williams said they could not be
admitted under the immigration laws
of the United States.
Captain kishns Makes Deposition.
The captain of the Frye finished a
formal deposition telling Of the de-
struction Of his vessel. Captain Kiehne
was instructed to report to treasury
officials at Washington tomorrow
morning.
Collector Hamilton took aboard the
Eitel, an order permitting the landing
of $50 sacks Of mail from the French
ship F1oride. They probably will be
turned over to French mail steamer.
All the mail is destined for South
American ports.

feel he was acting within his rights

 When the emperor learned of this he caused Valentine to be thrown into prison, where he mysteriously disap- peared.
 or course the poor people whom he had always befriended grieved greatly, and upon the anniversary of his death it became the custom to gather quietly together and exchange little tokens of regard. This is the legend. History says that in the remote past our Aryan and Semitic forefathers had a holiday which they celebrated about the mid | de of February. During this holiday the widest orgies and excesses were fndulged in. It was a sort Of greeting to the returning sun and the spring time and as such is still crudely cele- lbrated by. savage tribes in remote cor ners of Africa. Asia and the south sea islands.

 The popularity Of these tones in the late autumn decided the question of what colors we should wear through out the next four months of cold weather which constitute our actual winter. Experfence should have taught us that there is little need of extra heavy clothing before the dawn ing of the new year.

 Here are few of the varieties which have appeared in the shop windows. For love or money you can't purchase a velvet hat. Everything is straw and silk and flowers flowers and silk and straw.
 Last July nothing was shown in the shops but velvet, but was skating the other afternoon and saw three fur be- swathed women wearing the c1test lit tie black shiny coarse straw turbans trimmed with luscious big red cherries. The whole effect was like a big con- lection. So you can wear fur in July and chiffon in February if you are so minded, and Fashion only looks on and grins.

If You Are Caught Tn. the Rain

FFHE woman who does not know what
 it is to have some of her hnery or more substantial clothes uncomfortab1y moistened by summer rains and winter snows is unusual Her lot is, indeed, happy. But so is the lot of the woman who once in awhile finds herself over taken by a furry of snow or battered by slanting raindrops under the edge of an umbrella if she knows a few se- crets about the care of her clothes.
 If a skirt is mud spattered let the mud dry thoroughly before brushing it off; then brush it with a moderately stiff brush. If this brushing fails to remove every trace of it rub the spot with alcohol if the fabric spotted will stand that treatment.
 When plumes are dampened and have become uncurled hang them before a hot radiator or an open fire. If they dry thus in the heat they will doubt less dry in curl. If the curl is still gone pull each hue between the thumb and a dull blade-lil1e a bone letter opener.
 If the froclz dries in wrinkles hang 1t over a tubfuI of steaming hot water land let it all get moistened. Then hang
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-02-17

it on a hanger and place 1t in strong heat to dry in shape. This treatment should remove all wrinkles. If the cloth is very heavy press it under a damp cloth on the wrong side to re- move any wrinkles. The steaming method is better than the ironing method, however, as ironing sometimes presses too flat the surface of the cloth.
 Put the damp jacket on a coat hanger and hang 1t in the heat. Stuff the sleeves with paper and use, pref erably, one of the new hangers that have a rounding projection at the neck to hold the collar of the coat smooth.
 Take off the shoes and put them i'm mediate1y on forms. If for some req son these are not at hand the shoes can be filled with rice or oatmeal, which will keep them in good shape. However, one must first consider the relative values of the cereal and the shoes-in these hard timesl
 VeiIs, whether they are moist or dry, should always be wound around a pasteboard or wooden cylinder, which can be covered with a layer of scented cotton and silk or else folded over a square of pasteboard and pinned neatly in place. This treatment will double the life of a veil.

 Who was St Valentine and what did he do to so impress himself upon the hearts of lovers for all time? Val entfne was a priest and he lived in Rome during the reign of the Emperor C1audiuss He officiated in the temple and had great following. His purity of life his wonderful unselhsh ness, was in marked contrast to the unw ho1esome life Of the Emperor Claudius and of his entire court How he became the pa fron saint of love is very pretty tale and runs something like this.
 One day the Emperor Clau dius in a it of jealous passion because his lat est ladzIove had fled from him issued royal decree that for one whole year there should be no marriages in Rome. they could do nothing. as the enperors decree was law. The priest Valentine heard the de- cree and grieved with the people. He knew man 9s9wqrthya drawers of water. many excellent young hewers of stone, many ambitious. stucco makers and smart young mixers of pigments, all of who were looking forward to early marriage Valentine courageously re- monstrated with the wicked emperor, but without avail. Then the good priest disobeyed the emperor's com mands and secretly performed the ceremony for all those who had plan ned marriage.
