good fortune to know her.

last moment was thoughtful for 9TH

"She has fought the good fight,
she has finished her course" and has
passed on to her reward.

Thaw Again.

II Harry K sThAw is found guilty
Of the latest ofenae with which he is
charged. the American people would
not be sorry II he should be confined
! behind prison walls for Che remand
er Of his unnatural life. Unless his
money. which has saved him so many
times from Justice, can hide him, he
must answer TO the charge OF Kid
mapping and brutally whipping a Mis-
souri, lad. In a previous trial it was
testified that Thaw had whipped
young girls. Alienists testified that
Thaw had mania for doing that kind
OF thing. The sort OF degeneracy is
very we'll known in the medical world
and II stamps this creature anew as
an enemy Of society. The mad pas.
sion for whipping arises out OF a most
unnatural and horrible form Of per-
version.
The various trials of Thaw have
cost the State OF New York more than
a million dollars. His salvation from
the electric chair gave a powerful
impetus and encouragement to the
false defense of insanity by perfectly
sane criminals all over the land. His
case Is the most shameful stigma
ever cast upon justice in America: it
has proved that money can not only
save rich mans life when he ought
to be electrocuted, but can also free
him from punishment OF any sort. His
have given him liberty to
roam over the land. menace to de-
cency, horrible example of the DOW
or OF money over the law. For the
moral effect which IT would have on
the country, he ought to be Jailed un-
I'll ne DIES. II he is crazy, he ought
to be isolated from society; if he is
not crazy. he ought to go to his doom
In the death house. II Thaw had
been a poor man. he would have fill |
ed murderer's grave years ago, but
born with a golden spoon in his I,
mouth. he revels in freedom bought
with millions and laughs at the ma
