THAW DEFENSE

VERDICT TODAY
Prisoner Resumes Stand.
StanchfieId Vigorously Pleads
for Dismissal of Indictment.

NV YORK, March 12.-As result
Of Justice Pages ruling, excluding the
Ssue of Harry K. Thaw's mental
condition from consideration in his
rial for conspiracy in escaping from
the Matteawan Insane Asylum, the
expected happened this morning,
when the defense in the case rested.
after calling several character wit
nesses for Roger Thompson. A YER
dict was expected to be returned by
the jury late this afternoon.
Thaw resumed the stand for Cross
examination when the trial opened
today He said he did not remember
who first advised him he could leave
Matteawan because he was sane. As
to who advised him that he would be
breaking no law, he believed Justice
Morschauser, of Westchester county
had so advised his counsel.
Where did you pay Butler for his
services?'
"In Manchester. N. H." replied
Thaw, who added that the $4,000 wal
paid Ia cash
You told your counsel you believed
you were sane. Do you believe you
ever were insane?"
That's a matter the district at
torney Of this county and ahenists
have answered"
DO you believe you were sane
when you killed Stanford White3'
Thaw's attorneys objected and were
sustained. Similar ruling applied to
a question as to just when Thaw be-
lieved he had recovered his reason.
On redirect examination, Thaw said
Roger Thompson first knew who he
was after the fight in the automobile
had started.
After reaching Rochester, N. H.,
Thaw said he requested Thompson to
accompany him to Canada. Thomp-
son was arrested. Thaw paid his
counsel fees and expenses, he said.
Thaw was then excused and the de-
fense announced that 1t rested its
case.
A number of character witnesses
were called to testify In behalf of the
co-defendants. Mr.. Stanchf1eld then
moved to dismiss the indictment
against Thaw and his co-defendants,
on the grounds that the State had
failed to prove its contentious; that
the New York county grand jury had
no jurisdiction over the case when IT
returned the bill, and that no crime
had been committed.

PRIESTS IN FAVOR
OF CLOSING ALI!
SUNDAY SALOONS
Jersey City Rectors Come Out
in Strong Support of Up-
holding Excise Laws.

Thirteen of the nineteen rectors OF
Roman Catholic parishes In Jersey
City met in conference at Seton Hall
yesterday and passed resolutions In
favor Of Sunday closing OF saloons,
which say: Public officials who are
sworn to enforce the law and are
recreant to their trust are. In our
judgment, more guilty than those
who violate the law"
Monsignor P. W. Smyth. rector Of
ST. Joseph's Church. arranged .he
conference and presided at It. He
also was chairman of the resolution
committee, the other members being
Rev. E. A. Kelly, rector OF st. Pat-
rick's Church. and Rev. John f.
Ryan, rector of st. Bridget's Church
The resolutions adopted the meet
ing are as follows: -
I'm view of the efforts that are
now being made by the courts and
the moral forces of this community
for a sincere and effective enforce
ment of the law, closing saloons on
Sunday-we, the Catholic rectors <z
this city Jersey City,, in conferences
assembled. deem it our duty TO gi4s
an expression of opinion on this
aspect of public affairs. Il
''In the first place, we comme4d
and encourage those public ofiici&Ia
who insist on a strict enforcemei1t
of the so-called Bishops law. That
act, which was designed originally
to make decent, so far as possi1ls.
the liquor traffic, and which act wag
mutilated by an obliging Legislators
until it was merely shadow OF ifs
former self, still contains at least one
meritorious provision-namely, the
removal on Sunday Of the screens
that hide the interior OF the closed
saloon. II is a fact well known to
everyone in our community that with
as few spasmodic exceptions the en-
forcement of this regulation has been
shamefully ignored-hence we inn
plore those public officials who at
the present time are striving In the
name of law, order and good citi-
zenship to preserve the sanctity of
the Christian Sunday to persevere
unail they succeed
I'VE believe that every just ana
reasonable restriction against the
hazardous liquor traffic should be
enforced to the fullest extent. Tha
most stringent laws OF the State and
national government are today IN
active operation against the use of
harmful drugs. impure foods and all
sorts of poisonous and dangerous
connections. We know Of no mora
harmful and decoralizing drug thnn
the habitual indulgence OF alcoho1Io
liquor. and we are glad to see that
the movement for its restricted u1o
Is fast impressing itself upon tho
conscience of the American nation
I'VE believe that II the provision
of the law closing saloons on Sunday
was ragidly and honestly enforced
that Il would be a restrictive saf6-

New Appeal for Refusal
Follows Reported Attempt
to Sink Ocean Steamer

LONDON, March 12-Fresh out
bursts Of indignation over Germanys
submarine warfare came from the
British press today. For the first
tine, according to dispatches received
Eere from Liverpool one of Won
Tirpitz' under-sea fighters has at
tempting to sink an ocean liner with
los passengers aboard.
The Red Star liner Lapland, bound
for New York, was the reported vic
tim. She carried many American pas
sengers. According to message
from Liverpool, a German submarine
pursued her as she slipped out of the
Mersey. She crowded on full steam
and escaped.
The offices of the Red Star line re-
fused to confirm the report. Liver
pool correspondents said the news
was received there in a brief wire
less message. The British news gen.
orally accepted the story and made
it the subject of new appeals to the
government to order drastic reprisals.

PLAYED ONE PART
FOR SEVEN YEARS
Principal in "A Pair Of Skies.
Has Played the Part for
That Time

seven years IS a long time to study
one style Of part. but the result has
proven most satisfactory to me-" said
Miss Goodies, CT the Pair OF Skies
Co." to jbe seen here on Friday, Sept.
II, at tie Auditorium.
When ! made up my mind to go OH
the stage and try and make Il repUta-
ton that would be lasting, thus bring
ing me tie financial reward, SO much
to be desired when one reaches the
age that makes L wonder what all
the years have stored UP for one, in
this worlds goods, | thought a long,
long time, for a youngster, as to the
best branch Or the profession to fol-
low. The thought about it,
the more convinced l became that the
real imperscnation or should | say, the
impersonatiOn of the real, was not
only the most artistic, but would even
tually become the most profitable, and
| knew it would take yeats TO become
proficient in any line, and, as a rule,
when g woman who im~persona:es
parts, other than Character, becomes
proficient, she is bordering on old age.
To my mind the greatest piece of act
ing ever presented on the American
stage was Richard Mansfield in the
most homely makeup, almost repul-
sive. of Cyrano; next was the wonder
full character of Dr.. Jekyll, both home
ly personalities.
"Of course, my character in "A Pair
of Skies is comely, comedy to the
audiences, but as l see it, it is sad,
sad to the servant, who loving a man
in a higher station in life, cannot I'M
derstand why she is a joke to him. BY
the way, did you ever stop to consider
what makes comedy on the stage, did
you ever realize how finely the line is
drawn between comedy and tragedy?
1t is a great study, if one cares to
analyze it. The moment a person
playing a comedy part, stops taking
the part seriously, the acting becomes
obnoxious to the audience, it is not
real comedy, it is not anything, in
fact it is not worth while. it is the
or the complications of "A
Pair of Skies that makes it a master
piece Of dramatic construction, that is.
the seriousness to the actors, that
makes it funny. and, by the way. a
slight twist would have made "A Pair
CT Skies a gripping drama"
