Prosecution Completes sts Case
Against White's Slayer.
SPEED IN FAMOUS MURDER TRIAL;
People's Side Begun and Finished in
Two Hours ? Opening Address
Made by Assistant District Attorney
Garvan.
New York City.?Two hours to the
minute was the time taken by the
prosecution ir presenting to the jury
the case against Harry K. Thaw, who
is on trial in the criminal branch of
the Supreme Court for the murder of
Stanford White on the Madison
Square Roof Garden on June 25 last.
Orders were given to exclude every
ane from the court-room with the exception
of the talesmen and those
who had immediate business there,
so the police had their hands full, as
with the coming of the first day of
the real trial they were assailed by a
horde of men and women ^ainly seeking
admittance.
It was 10.45 o'clock when Assistant
District Attorney Garvan began
the opening address for the State. At
12.45 o'clock, after calling nine witnesses,
Mr. Jerome announced that
the prosecution rested. He had
aaade good his promise of presenting
his case at the first session. With
his closing, and after the notice he
had given, the defence was prepared
to open for Thaw when court convened
again in the afternoon.
All of Harry Thaw's own people,
sxcept his sister, the Countess of
Yarmouth, and his brother-in-law,
Seorge L. Carnegie, heard the young,
:lean-cut Garvan arraign him for the
ieath of Stanford White.
Mr. Garvan told how Stanford
White had on June 25 last taken his
ion Lawrence and a schoolmate of
>he latter to dinner at the Cafe Martin.
The boys had bought tickets to
the New York Theatre roof garden
md declined an invitation of Stanford
White to accompany him to the <
Madison Square roof garden.
"Stanford White," said Mr. Garran,
"went to the Madison Square i
roof garden and sat alone at one of i
the small tables there watching the
first production of a play called ;
'Mamzelle Champagne.'
"The defendant was there with his
wife and two friends, Truxton Beale
and Thomas McCaleb. The defend- I
ant walked constantly about the i
place. In the middle of the second i
act the defendant's party started to <
leave the roof. The defendant let his :
party go ahead and he lagged behind. ;
"Passing the table where Stanford
White was sitting, this defendant i
suddenly faced Mr. White and delib
erateiy snot mm tnrougn tne Drain,
the bullet entering the eye.
"Mr. White was dead!
"The defendant did not know this.
He feared he had not completed his j
work and fired again, the bullet penetrating
White's chest.
"Still, to make sure, he fired a
third time.
"Mr. White, or rather the body of 1
Mr. White, tumbled to the floor.
"The defendant turned and. facing
the audience, he held his revolver
aloft, with the barrel upside down,
to indicate that he had completed
what he had intended to do. The
. big audience understood. There was
no panic."
Mr. Garvan concluded by giving I
the details of Thaw'3 arrest and indictment
by the prosecution.
Thaw sat with head downcast and
face flushed.
Not once did Mr. Garvan mention,
save casually and in order to make
the narrative complete, any name
save the names of the two principals
?wnite ana maw. in piain, dui
impressive, manner, without waste
of adjectives, Garvan sketched the
main lines of the big tragedy. These
were the last words:
"Gentlemen of the jury, we eipect
to show you this crime vas the cruel,
malicious, premeditated taking of a
Rain May Save Cub;:n TobacCo Crop.
The tobacco crop in Pinar del Rio
Province, Cuba, probably has been
saved by the recent rains. Thi6 crop
had been given up as almost a total
loss because of the extreme dryness.
Grip Feared in New York.
According to the Health Department
New York City is in the grip of
pneumonia, and an epidemic of the

Boxing clubs are doing very well
in New York just now.
It is seldom that boxmen, once
they lose their grip, are able to regain
it.
Jack Dunn is working hard to get
a team of pennant winners for Baltimore,
for he gets a $1000 bonus if
he turns the trick.
John J. McGrath, prominent as a

human life. After proving that fact
to you. we will ask you to find the
defendant guilty of tlis crime of murder
in the first degree."
Neither Harry Thar, nor any of his
people showed by any outward sign
that they heard Jerome's assistant.
After Mr. Garvan took his seat.
District Attorney Jerome sprang a
surprise by asking the court to exclude
all witnesses in the case except
experts. By doing this Mr. Jerome
disclosed the fact that Mrs. William
maw, ine prisoners motner, ana
Mrs. Harry Thaw, his wife, were both
to take the stand for the defence.
On advice of Thaw's counsel they left |
the court-room with all the other witnesses.
May McKcnzie, Evelyn Nesbit's
chorus girl chum, was included
in the list and accompanied Mrs.
Harry Thaw into the court clerk's
office. Mrs. William Thaw is expected
to testify to the prisoner's eccen- I
tricities as a youth. The prisoner
seemed greatly downcast at the exclusion
of his mother and wife. His
only relatives left in the room were
his brothers and his sister, Mrs. Carnegie.
I
The first witness was then called. I
He was Lawrence White, a Harvard
student, nineteen years old, and a j
son of the dead architect. White was
on the stand but a few minutes. He
told of accompanying his father to
the Cafe Martin for dinner, and said j
that when he left him to go with his
companion, a boy named King, to
the New York Roof Garden, it was j
the last time he saw his father alive.
mi .11 .... J J M a! A n/s I
maw s anuriieys uiu uui ueauc iu i
cross-examine the witness, and he
was allowed to leave the stand.
Warren Paxton, the' engineer of |
the Madison Square Garden, followed
young White on the stand. He had
known Stanford White for sixteen
years. On the night of the shooting
he was on the roof garden. Paxton
sent for a policeman after the murder.
There was some delay in getting
the policemen and Thaw remarked:
"Can't I go down the elevator
now? I do not want to disturb these
people here." Thaw, Paxton said,
was referring to the audience.
Paxton continued:
"I saw Mrs. Thaw and two men
near the elevator. Thaw here remarked:
'I shot him because he
ruined my wife.'
"Then Mrs. Thaw threw her arms
around the defendant's neck and
said: 'Yes, but look at the fix you
are in now.'
"Thaw said to her: 'It's all right,
dearie. I have probably saved your
life.' "
A big drawing showing the Madison
Square Roof Garden was then
shown to the jury and Mr. Garvan

positions of Thaw and White at the
time of the shooting.
Meyer Cohen, a singer, and Henry
F. Blease, in the music publishing
business, both of whom witnessed the
shooting, were examined. The first
move by the defence toward crosseiamination
was made when Delphin
M. Delmas, the noted California lawyer,
put a few questions to Cohen.
Paul Brudi, the fireman who seized
and disarmed Thaw, was the fifth
witness. His story corroborated
those told by the preceding witnesses.
All the evidence submitted
by the prosecution was straightforward;
mer-.Iy simple account of how
Thaw went to the Madison Square
Garden roof and shot down the man
he hated.
Patrolman Patrick L. Debs, who
arrested Thaw, was called. He identified
the pistol, the bullets and empty
shells.
"Did you have any conversation
with Thaw?" asked Mr. Garvan.
"I did," he replied. "I asked the
prisoner if he had shot Stanford
White, and he said, 'I did.' I then
asked him why he shot him, and he
said, 'Because he ruined my wife*?
or life." *
Timothy Lehane, coroner's physician,
who performed the autopsy oiv
Stanford White's body.Vdescribed the
wounds made by the th>ee bullets.
Dr. Sylvester Pechner, who was
with a party on the Madison Square
Roof Garden the night of the tragedy,
followed. Dr. Pechner examined
Whito snnn nff-pr hp fell, and r>ro
nounced him dead. The architect's
death must have been instantaneous,
he declared. He then saw the defendant
"break his gun," or put it
out of firing condition, and hold it
aloft. Just after this, Fireman Brudi
took the man in charge.

Suicide Hippie Was Deeply in Debt.
A Coroner's jury of Philadelphia
brought in a verdict that he had
committed suicide while insane in the
case of Edward P. Hippie, brother of
the self-slain president of the Real
Estate Trust Company. HiRple was
hpavilv in debt. One iudement en
jtered was for $120,4i4.66. It is
said that there are many other debts.
Postal League Election.
The annual meeting of the Postal
Progress League was held In Boston;
Frederick C. Beach, of Boston, was
elected president.
"May it please Your Honor, the
j State now rests its case, said Mr.
I Jerome in almost an undertone. It
! was 12.45 o'clock. It had taken the
District-Attorney a little less than
i two hours to offer his evidence in
I chief in New York County's greatest
j murder case.
Thaw listened to the recital of the
I shooting for the most part in a matter-of-fact
way, although his eyes
nearly all the time were glued to the
witnesses in the chair. Only once
did he betray any sign of emotion,
and that was when the coroner's
physician was tilling the story of the
autopsy. Then Thaw, who had let
his head slip forward into his hands,
looked as though he might be brooding,
but at a nudge from Mr. Peabody
he sat up again and a stolid
look came into his face as if lie were
prepared for the worst. Only 6nce
or twice did he whisper to his counsel?the
proceedings in front of him
were going on at too rapid a rate to
allow any side remarks. When the
prisoner entered the court-room there
had been a slight flush in his face,
which was ^attempting to banish the
prison pallor. The flush grew for a
time and then faded as the last witnesses
came.
After a brief recess John B. Gleason,
who opened for Thaw, spoke for
an hour and a quarter. He stated
that the defense would rely on every
plea it could uphold, not excluding a
belief in the need of self-defence, but
his main argument came to this:
Thaw comes from a family with insanity
on both sides. He is of a high
strung temperament, easily losing
control of himself. For years he
courted Evelyn Nesbit with the consent
of her mother. For a time she
refused him for some reason connected
with White, which she herself
will take the stand to explain. This
aroused in him an insane hatred of
White, which his marriage, with the
approval of all his relatives, did not
remove. Wlien he came upon me architect
in Madison Square Garden he
believed he was there by the direct
interposition of Providence, and as
the direct agent of Providence ho shot
and killed him. Stress and the influences
of heredity had turned hi3
brain, and as an insane man he cannot
be held responsible for the acts
committed under the influence of insanity.
"We will show you," said Mr.
Gleason, "that the defendant on the
night of the shooting first saw White
glowering at him and then became
convinced that it would be an act of
Providence for him to. kill the architect.
Acting on that prompting, he
walked over as coolly as he might go
to speak to a friend and shot that
man. He did not regard the act as
wrong. He considered that it was
God's providence and was not wrong.
We say that upon the evidence it will
be impossible for you to say that at
the time Thaw shot White he was
sane beyond a reasonable doubt."
One sentence of Gleason's threw
wide open the closet, and the horror
of it all burst upon the view. It was
as if the founder of the Thaw family
?he who reared that monument of
forty millions o? dollars?had stalked
upon the scene like the spectre King
of Denmark, and cried:
"The sins of the father are visited
upon the children. Blame not my
son?blame me."
Mr. Gleason said: "We will show
you, gentlemen of the jury, that in
Mrs. William Thaw, Mother of Harry
.JY. inaw.
this man's family, to a marked extent,
there were insanity and epilepsy."
And yet once more he shouted:
"On both sides of this defendant's
family, both as to his father and
mother, we will produce to you direct
evidence that there was insanity."

New York City.?A blanket bill of
indictment, charging six members of
10 n
the so-called "Theatrical Trust" with '
s[e
conspiracy in restraint of trade, was
i- returned by the Grand Jury. The
ro theatrical managers named In the in d
dictment are Samuel Nixon and J. F.
is
Zimmerman, composing the firm of
3t Nixon & Zimmerman, of Philadelphia
is and New York; Marc Klaw and Abra
ham Erlanger, of the firm of Klaw &
g Erlanger, and Charles Frohman and
n A1 Hayman, all of this city.
2t Of these men only Messrs. Klnw
ie and Erlanger were in town. Nixon
it and Zimmerman are in Philadelphia,
:o and Charles Frohman and A1 Hayman
k are in Europe.
The indictment, filling seventy
[e typewritten pages, was handed up to
rt Judge Foster in Part I. of General
e. Sessions. Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger
is had already been summoned by their
1(1 counsel, Alfred Lauterbach, and bail
St In the amount of $1000 each was fur1(1
nished by "Big Tim" Sullivan, who
^ gave as security the Dewey Theatre,
5{ 4n East Fourteenth street, which he
a 3aid was worth $300,000.
g> The indictment sets forth in detail
[n the acts of the so-called trust. The
y jharge is that the managers have
:h conspired to monopolize the theatrig.
:al business both as to ownership of
[ { i :heatres and as to the production of
:heatrical attractions. Under the
jtatutes, such a violation of the Interstate
law is a misdemeanor.
The conspiracy, it is charged, takes
che form of written agreements ena.
tered into in 1896 and 1900 by the
Indicted managers. By these agreements
the several managers agree to
m pool theatres and attractions and dirt
vide the profits of the business. At
td the time of the organization of the
it so-called trust, the indictment points
h- Dut, it controlled fifty theatres
te throughout the country. At the presre
ent time it absolutely controls 600
i, of the 600 prominent bnes.
e- The indictment also chargcs that
,1- by means of the combination, the
at managers have coerced actors, playwrights
and owners, and have com;a
pelled ownerB of many theatres to
>d give the syndicate exclusive control
of the bookings of their theatres, in
1- payment for which the Syndicate has
in extorted from twenty-five to fifty per
to cent, of the profits of the houses.
As an instance of the methods of
:a the syndicate, the case of Sarah Bernr
hardt is cited. In her last tour of
ie this country, in 1905, permission was
re refused her to play in syndicate
t- houses, for the reason that she was
in appearing under the direction of a
ss rival firm of managers. In her tour
ie Mme. Bernhardt played only in inie'
dependent houses, and was frequentIn
ly forced to appear under tents.
