MRS, THAW TESTIFIES Mother-of Harry Takes Stand in Her Son’s Deferse. YOUNG WIFE ALSO CALLED Slow Progress Made in Examination of the Latter Owing to the Contin- ual Objection of District Attorney Jerome to the Questions Asked. New York, Jan. 18.—Mrs. Willlam Thaw, mother ot Harry K. Thaw, was called to the stand as a witness for the defense in the noted murder trial. As she took the oath she gave her name as Mary Copley Thaw and her residence as Pittsburg. She -was questioned by Mr. Littleton. Thaw looked intently and earnestly at his mother, who was very pale and weak, in sharp contrast to the ruddy good health which marked her appearance a year ago. Her testimony closely | followed that of the last trial, begin- ning with the return of her son to his Pittsburg home in November, 1903, after Evelyn Nesbit had told him her story in Paris that summer. “Usually Harry came home buoyant and joyously,” she declared, “but this MRS. WILLIAM THAW. tlme there was not a smile.” Mrs. Thaw saild she asked her son what Wwas the matter. “I can’t tell you, mother,” he re- plied. “I never can tell you.” The mother then repeated what she had related on the stand last year as to her son crying and moaning during the night; of his frequent playing at the plano, when the music would be- gin loud and then die away until finally it would stop, Thaw sitting a long while at the imstrument with head cast down. Explains Cause of Worry. Mrs. Thaw said she frequently asked her son what was werrying him and finally he declared that & beautiful young girl he was interested in had had a terrible experience in New York. The mother told him he should not worry about such matters;. that the girl had a mother who should care for her. Thaw replied that the girl’s mother had not looked after her and that was why it all had happened. Harry Thaw eventually. told his mother the young girl's name was Nesbit. “The name meant nothing to me,”| declared the witness, “for I had never heard of the young woman before. Harry sald it all had occurred when Miss Nesbit was a little girl. It was in New York, he said. I tried to im- press upon him that he was not re- sponsible for the sins of other men.” Mrs. Thaw next told of the day she and her son went to Thanksgiving day services at the Presbyterian church in Pittsburg, when Thaw broke down and cried while the choir was sing- ing Kipling’s “Recessional.” “Just to think,” Thaw sobbed, “if it hadn’t happened she might have been here with us today.” Mrs. Thaw next told of her consent early:in 1905 to her son’s marriage with Miss Nesbit. with the proviso that the girl's past history never was to be mentioned again. The marriage ‘was performed at Pittsburg in April, 1905, and the two went West on their wedding trip. “Harry, In all his talk, never sug- gested at any time that it had been the girl’s fault,” saild Mrs. Thaw. The ‘ examination was temporarily suspended here. Mrs. Thaw had to be assisted from the witness chair. Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw then was called to the stand. She sald she was the wife of the defendant and was born Christmas day, 1884. Her father died when she was ten years old. District Attorney Jerome objected to practically every question Mr. Lit- tleton asked the witness as to her early history and was sustained in many of them. ‘The ouestions ruled out usually had to do with how long she lived in vari- ous places and her age when the moves were made. - Mr. Jerome .#afd “he.’did.mot wun the time’ of the jury . takefi up this year as At was the jlast ti) “with &tories about “pet cats fi’ oth.r irrelevant stuft.” . T, oA Young Mrs. Thaw finally was nl~ lowed to gay mc “Whe adelphia beforé" ow mk’ | —light,: §4.15@4.45; §hé posed for varlous artfsts. At thiz time she was fourteen years of age. The witness was allowed to tell of coming to New York at the age of fi- teen and of posing for artists. here. She was not allowed to tell Yow much compensation she obtained or whether her mother was employed at the time. Mrs. Thaw told of going on the stage in “Florodora,” The details of her seeking employment and the diffi- culty because of her youth were barred from the jury this year, Mr. Jerome being ever ready with an ob- Jection to shut out much ‘of the testi- mony that was allowed at the first trial.

Sioux City, Ia., Jan. 18.—Miss Nellle Ingham, a modest young working girl, whom her father brought here from England twenty-two years ago when she was a baby and left in care of a farmer’s family near Sioux City, is heiress to the big estate of John Ing- ham, gentleman, of Fullwood, county of Lancaster, Eng.

SAYS HUNDREDS OF PERSONS ARE RELIEVED Chicago Grai Tremendous Popularity of Home Pres- cription is Surprising Says Local Druggist. That the readers of this paper appreciate advice when given in good faith is plainly -demonstrated by the fact that one well-known local pharmacy supplied the ingred- ients for the “vegetable prescrip- tion” many times within the past two weeks. The announcement of this simple, harmless mixture has certainly accomplished much in reducing the great many cases of kidney complaint and rheumatism here, relieving pain and misery, especially among the older popula- tion, who are always suffering more more or less with bladder and urinary troubles, backache 'and par- ticularly rheumatism. Another well-known druggist asks us to continue the announce- ment of the prescription. It is doing so much real “good here, he continues, thatit would be a crime not to do so. It can not be repeated to often, and further states many cases of remarkable cures ‘wrought. The following is the prescription of simple ingredients, making a harmless; inexpensive compound, which any. person can prepare by shaking well in a bottle: Fluid Extract. Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Any first-class drug store will sell this small amount of each ingredient, and the dose for adults is one teaspoonful to be taken after each meal and again at bedtime, There i ls enough here to last for one week, 'if taken according to direc- tions. Goo from the first féw doses, N FACTORY BLAT Two Girls Meet Death and Seven Are Seriously Injured. TWO HUNDRED IN A PANIC Become Jammed in Narrow Stairway In' Attempting to Leave Burning Building, but Firemen Succeed in Getting Them Out Safely. Scranton, Pa, Jan. 18.—Two girls were killed and seven others serlously Injured in a fire in the building occu- pied by the Imperial underwear fac- tory. About 200 girls were employed in the building and there was a panic when the alarm of fire was sounded. Florence Watrous was caught in the burning building and was burned to death. Marie Buckley, with a number of other girls, jumped from the fire escape and broke her neck. All the injured were burned on the fire escape before jumping and they are suffering from broken limbs and internal in- juries, ‘The fire is supposed to have been started by the upsetting of a gluepot in the warehouse of the Economy Furniture . company, located in the basement of the building, which was four stories. The flames spread rap- 1dly-and most of the girls on the third and fourth floors fled to the fire es- capes. ' These got as far as the second story and from' there they jumped to the areaway. Many of the girls fled down the one narrow stairway of the building. In their terror some fainted and there was a jam on the stairs which threat- ened serfous consequences, but, fortu- nately, ‘the firemen were able to get them. all ‘out safely before- the fire reached that portion of the building. The loss is $75,000. WEALTHY WOMAN SUICIDES Jumps From Thirteenth Story of New York Hotel. New York, Jan. 18.—Mrs. Herbert M. Sears, member of a wealthy Boston family .and a guest at the Hotel St. Regis, committed suicide by jumping from a thirteenth story window. Mrs. Séars had been a frequent vis- itor at the St. Regis for several years. She always came to the hotel accom- panied only by a maid and frequently remained there several days. Her ac- tlons were described by the hotel peo- ple as erratic and the maid always maintained a close watch over her moistress.- The body of Mrs. Sears fell ‘on the roof of a four-story building adjoining the St. Regis and the fall was heard by the residents of that building. Boston, Jan. 18.—Mrs. Herbert M. Sears was the wife of a prominent broker of this city. Friends here say that - Mrs. Sears. had been suffering for some time from melancholia. Mrs. Sears was formerly Miss Carolina Bartlett, danghter of Francis Bartlett, a lawyer’ of this city, and she was abqut forty-two years of age. NEAR PREMIER'S RESIDENCE Women Suffragists Make Demonstra: tion in" London. London, Jan. 18—The arrival of the ministers at Downing street to at- tend the-first meeting of the cabinet before the assembling of parliament was made the occasion of a public deruonstration by the women suf- fragists. The police nntlclpated trouble and a large force was present, but the ‘women succeeded in making their way inside the residence of Premier Camp- bell-Bannerman and five arrests were made before order was restored. Some of the demonstrants adopted a novel manner to prevent being car- ried off by the police. They had at- tached to their -belts” stout chains which, when they saw the police about to lay hands on them, they quickly threw around the iron railing in front of the building. The police had to break these chains by force before they could get the women away. The suffragists subsequently were arraigned in the Bow street police court. They refused -to give sureties for their goo#, behavior and were sent to prison for three weeks. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.
