He added that evacua- tion of the city was the principal thing to be feared. The sénding of war vessels followed vigorous ‘representations to General Carranza demanding prompt improve- ment in conditions as affecting for- eigners and their interests in Mexican territory under his control. Failure to comply,/he was warned; would be followed by such action as the Amer- ican government thought necessary to obtain the desired protection. In diplomatic quarters the belief quite generally prevailed that the lat- est representations to Carranza were a clear implication to him that force might be employed unless conditions were bettered. There are in Mexico City 25,000 foreigners, 2,500 of them Americans, and the safety of these is threatened by the announced intention of Car- ranza to order the evacuation of th2 city by General Obregon’s forces. Monterey Captured. The Carranza agency issued a state- ment claiming that Monterey has been captured by Carranza forces with many prisoners and a large amount of war supplies.

Thaw, slayer of | Stanfora White, and five co-defen- dants for conspiring to effect Thaw's | escape from the state hospital for the criminal insane at Matteawan was be- gun in the criminal branch of the su- preme court here today. Deputy At- torney General Franklin Kennedy out- lined the case of the state, and four Witnesses gave testimony of a tech- nical nature. Mr. Kennedy said that it was the contention of the state that Thaw was insane at the time of his flight; that it would still constitute a menace to the public safety to allow him at large; but that, notwithstanding these facts, he wag, by reason of his | “peculiat form of insanity” compe- tent to conspire to defeat the admin- istration of justice. f\'.uno of the witnesses examined during the forenoon session was sub- jected to cross examination by at- torneys for Thaw or his alleged con- spirators. Evelyn Thaw May Testify. Tt was anounced today by an official of the district attorne office that in all probability Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw would apear as a witness in Thaw's behalf. In previous proceedings affecting Thaw’s liberty, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has appeared agains thim. A week 280 a process server from the district attorney’s office called on Mrs. Thaw Wwith a subpoena, bidding her to ap- rear at the trial for the prosecution. | She was quoted as having said: *“T am tired of this case. I think Harry is being persecuted, and if T take any interest whatever in it, it will be to do what T can for him. I think he has been confined long enough, and if his lawyers want me I will do anything I can for him.” No Subpoena Left, For this reason, it was said, no subpoena was left with Thaw's wife. Tt was understood, however, that the prosecution would not be surprised if she was called to the witness stand by the defense. 3 The court.room was crowded to the dcors long Dbefore the jury entered the room, There were as mang women as men in the seats. As on vesterday, Thaw’s mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw; his sister, Mrs. George L. Carnegie, and his half brother, Josiah Thaw, occupied seats close up to the table of the Thaw staff of at- | torneys. | ~Thaw, himself, paid but little at- tention to the examination of the wit- nesses today, although he appeared to | be greatly interested in the remarks made about him by Mr. Kennedy. Sketches Case of Thaw. Mr. Kennedy for the benefit of the jury, sketched the case of Thaw from the night he shot Stanford White and explained how he happened to be confined in Matteawan until August, 1913. There were only two methods by which Thaw could have legally ‘been released from the asylum, Mr. Ken. nedy continued. The first was by suing out a writ of habeas corpus and the second was upon the recommend- ation of the superintendent of the hos- pital. He had sought release . by means of habeas corpus but the courts had refused his pleas Describes Thaw's scape. The assistant attorney general then described for the jury ‘the escape of Thaw. He told how Thompson hired the automobile in which Thaw fled, and how the alleged conspirators athered at the town of Beacon, ad- | joining Matteawan, the day before the | escape of Thaw. Then he told the jury how Thaw leaped into a machine and fled when a milkman opened a gate leading to the main vard of the hospital. He also told how Thaw transferred from one automobilé to another. Thaw next appeared at Lenox Mas where he registered under an’ assumed name, said Mr. Kennedy. He outlined the subsequent events leading to Thaw's arrest in Canada, and the legal stey ince the arrest of the defendant in New Hamp- shire. TRobert Hammerlund, pher, produced several photographic views of the Matteawan hospital and the gate through which Thaw escaped The photographs were handed to the jury. a photogra- Engincer Identifies Maps, James A.

Patrick O'Connor, the next witne; was a clerk in the bureau of licenses. | He identified applications for chauf- feurs' licenses made by Thomas Flood, | Roger Thompsosn and Michael O’Keefe.
