An American Prince

PHILADELPHIA, April t6.-Rep-
resentatives Of old Pennsylvania
families will pack the city hall
court room tomorrow morning when
Harry X. Thaw takes the stand in
his fight to return to the society
career that has been so constantly
interrupted since he shot Americas
most brilliant architect 10 years
ago.
Much sympathy for the scion Of
the multl-miIIionalr E Pittsburgh
family is expressed by members Of
the 400 who attended the sanity
hearings today. His friends argue
that such eccentrieities as rabbit
chewing and whipping Of girls are
nobody eIse's business.
Indignation is freely expressed In
the best circles OF Philadelphia
against the vulgar comments heard
In cafes and hotel Hobbies regarding
the way OF life Of the wealthy
PennsyIvanlans. Thaw has many
supporters, not so much because OF
what he 10 but what he represents.
