viction. The petition for clemency
had been presented to the pardon
board rseviously and the pardon was
granted after the board was fur

Quoted by competent physicians.

THAW'S VICTIM IS
A NERVOUS wreck

Kansas City. Jan. f2.-FredericS
Gump. 10 year old Kansas City boy,
upon whose charges Harry Thaw was
indicted in New York. was reduced
from a strong young man to mental
and physical wreck because OF his
terrible experience with Thaw," &C
cording to DR.. W. F. Kuhn. one OF
the physicians, who examined the
boy when he returned to Kansas City
after escaping from Thaw's hands,
Young Gump's story. repeated BY
DR.. Kuhn today, tells vividly Of a
night of terror and suffering which
the boy says he passed In q sound
proof room In a New York hotel,
with Thaw. A mass Of long. deep
welts on his back and body bear out
the statement OF the brutal flogging
he received, according to Kuhn.
Thaw. armed with two whips. one
Of which was knotted, lashed him for
more than an hour. the boy said,
while he fought with him. Finally
weak and exhausted. the boy says he
fell to the floor and pleaded for
mercy.
Not until then did Thaw relent.
He made the boy. according to
Gump's story. kneel on the floor and
kiss Thaw's toes. hands. cheeks and
lips. forcing him to repeat after him
Il am your slave for four years. You
are my master. will obey your
orders"
At breakfast Thaw. with the men
acing whips always at hand, forced
the lad to kneel by his side while
he fed him with his hands. After
each mouthful the boy was made to
say, Thank you master"
DIR. Kuhn said that, medically
speaking. Thaw was OF the same type
as Jack the Ripper Of London. who
stabbed women, and the Stranger
OF Paris" who strangled women after
Turing them to isolated places.
He found the same satisfaction In
beating young Gump as these mer
did in killing their Victims" said

ment made by Lee to the press late
Yesterday. In his statement Lee
said: ...... ......
The consensus OF the opinion was
embodied in resolution, passed un-
animously, denying that the men are
going to take any action while the
supreme court Is considering the bill.
AS the matter is In the hands OF the
court. we await Its decision, lest any
action we might take be misunder-
stood by the public and the supreme
court" ....
There was lot OF discussion as
to what we would do II the decision
went against u.s." continued Lee.
ANY talk Of strike would hurt us.
We are not here as a bunch OF law
breakers; we're here as law support
ers. We have never attempted to en-
Join the govrnment as the railroads
have done-and done repeatedly"
The conference resumed its ses-
sion today In the Masonic temple.
