% CLOSE THAW CASE WITH MANY WO CAL HN SINE Lawyer Testifies White Family Did Not Insist on His Punishment. DENTIST GAVE ADVICE. \ Told Harry He Better Act Ee- centric—Alienist Says He’s a] Normal. (Special to The Evening World.) WHITE PLAINS, ¥., July 1.—In the expectation of closing his case to- night Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for Harry Thaw, who is seeking his free- dom from Matteawan, called half « dozen witnesses this afternoon at the hearing before Justice Keogh, Corroboration of the testimony of Dr. William A. White, with the expression of his own belief that Thaw is sane and that his freedom would work no harm to public safety, was given dy Dr. Charles K. Milla when he resumed the stand. After noon adjournment Mr. Shearn called G. F. Spillman and J. F. Bright- enbach, Deputy Sheritfs of New York County, Both stated their belief that Thaw was perfectly sane. At his first trial they sald they had long conversa- tions with him and he talked rationally. Dr. Henry A. Parr, a dentist who has cared for Thaw's teeth fo twelve years, Was then called. He testified that he had visited Thaw in the Tombs and at Matteawan, “Please tell us one of your conversa tions in the Tombs?" asked Shearn, “I went to the Tombs,” said the doctor, nd sympathized with him, I told him he was in pretty deep and the best thing for him to do was to get crazy. He asked me how he was going to do that and I told him it was easy to act ec- centric, and cited several cases. Thaw Chen asked me how he was going to get Out, and I told him that he had his whole life to get out of the asylum, but that he had only @ short time to escape the chair." Allan W. Evarts, attorney for Mra, Stanford White, testified that during the first Thaw trial he had communi: cated with Louls Deiafleld and the Di t-Attorney’s office regarding ihe Thaw case. “What did you communte Delafield?” asked Shearn. Mr. Jerome attempted to exclude the question on the ground that it was a privileged unication, out Justice Keogh allowed the witness to answer. eto Mr, MRS. WHITE DIDN'T WANT THAW PUNISHED. “I sent w to Mr. Delafield’s office that so far as Mr. White was concerned she had no desire to insist on the pun- ment of Thaw,” was the answer, "And you communicated this to the District-Attorney’s office also?” queried answered Mr. Evarts. On cross examination Mr. “T learned from Mr. Delafiel Me that it was the desire of the Thaw famfly to avold a trial, but it was sup- posed that White's family would oppose such @ course.” Did you not communicate to th District Attorney's office that Thaw’ family thought him insane?” asked Jerome. "I think I did." Headkeeper Cummings of the Tombs testified at length regarding conver- sations with Thaw and his bellef that he was sane and a model prisoner wh: incarcerated, His testimony caused coy siderable laughter, expecially when he id Thaw told him that he (Thaw) had helped elect Jerome by contributing to the datter's campaign funds, “That's another one of those unpub- Mghed contributions?” interpolated Mr, Shearn. De. Mille caused great amusement when, after testifying that Thaw's de- aire to have the food given him at the Tombs tasted was a normal reque added, “I know I'd want a Chinese din- ner tasted before I ate tt.” He seid t it is the wu belief that jailers wish to harm their prison- ers. SEES NO REASON TO HOLD THAW IN ASYLUM, “Ie there are reason whatev: asked Bhearn as his last question, “In view of all the evidence, why Thaw should not be rel a2" “There is ."" declared the allenist. ‘The alioniet was followed on the stand by in Bowman, stage doorman et the Madison Square Theatre in 1903, His testimony was similar to that whieh he gave at the first homicide trial, telling of Stanford Wiite’s threat to kill Thaw and bis, Bowman's, repeating this threat to Thaw. Father vers, Chaplain of the Tombs, told of many conversations he had with ‘Thaw while the latter was in the Tombe, ‘What 4i4 you talk about?” verything from the weather up and own," priest. * attitude at sked Shearn, " was the answer, “Did he talk to you about having a mission to correct certain evil pr toes?” queried Shearo, No,” wae thi newer, John J. Hanly, headkeeper at the Tombs while Thaw was confined there, testified that Thaw had never talkec #to him about reforming New York or about his suspicions of being killed. He told how Thaw had distributed ice cream and cakes to the Tombs pri- soners.

Teach Him Manners,’’ Advises Another Young Woman. BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. Some time ago a young man con- tributed a letter to the dress-paint- and-powder discussion in which he advocated the wearing of corsets by men. To-day a woman offers a di fense of the New York “Johnny, declaring that women should take a lesson from his attire and go forth clad in @ coat and trousers. So each sex covets the sartorial perquisites of the other. As woman's tailor-made garments have grown more and more like the young man’s business suit, the clothes worn by ultra-fashionable young men have taken on a once womanly slope of the shoulders, a feminine wideness of the hips. A traveller returning to New York after an absence of ten years and viewing the girls of to-day for the first time would be tempted to sk what these human exclamation points have done to suppress the curving line from hip to knee. Johnny would answer the question for jhim, For as the fashionable young woman grows more and more hipiess the masculine taflor's model becomes jmore and more hippy. The traveller | must soon perceive that sister has lent to conquer with the sloping shoulders, the slim waist aud the wide pelvis of an 1830 belle. Tf women’s fashions continue the trend to trousers and mas- ouline clothes develop further their present tendgucies to pleats and ourves another fifty years ‘will see @ complete revolution in the attire and aspect of the sexes. Already the ultra masculine young woman is @ formidable be- ing and if the reforms advocated by Dr. Mary Walker, Mrs, Alms ‘Webster Powell and others be- come effective by 1960 may find her in full fledged trousers. SHE HEARTILY FAVORS TROUS- ERS FOR WOMEN. Here ! letter from a woman reader of The Evening World who heralds and applauds the change. She writ Dear Madam: If girls would think less about their looks and future husbands and more about becoming useful, intelligent citizens I have no doubt they would secure the husbands, and the better class of them, I see no reason why a woman should be more anxious for marriage than a man, and I feel sure the better class of men must think of the girl—not the dre: I see no immorality, except In the minds of men, but I do see much which Is unbeautiful In women's dress, How- ever, I think it ts slowly but surely improving.

The mother received two serious wounds, but her daughter was unharmed. Menachi mob of men, was so severely pummelled that he had to receive medical attention after three policemen had fought their way to his side. Miss Rose Krieger, a handsome nine- ear-old girl, conducts a hairdress- ing establishment at No, 181 Havemeyer street, Williamsburg. She and her mother live above the colffure parlors. For more than a year Samuel Me- naches, aged twenty-six, a hatmake: living at No. 633 East Sixth stree Manhattan, have been “keeping co: pany.’ The girl admitted that she cared very greatly for Menaches, and their friends were sure they would marry. But he developed a Jealous disposition which frightened the girl. Threo weeks ago, after a long talk with her mother, she told him she could not marry him. “You are too Jealous,” she id, “and I would be afraid of you all the time.” SUITOR PERSISTED IN MAK- ING VISITS TO GIRL. Despite the turn down Menaches has continued to annoy the girl with his attentions, calling frequently at her store and in her home. Always she has asked him to leave. At noon to-day the girl was in her | hairdressing parlor, wailing on several women customers saw Menaches walking up and down in front of the place. When the last customer had gone Menaches entered. “Don't annoy me now request to that of her daughter that the rejected suitor leave the place. For answer Menaches drew two pis tols, one @ revolver and the other a #1 calibre automatic pistol of foreign make. He poln them both at the girl, ‘I am going to kill you now,” he sald.

The man’s clothing and body burned for ten minutes before Max Bretz, a fellow lineman, climbed up the pole and cut out the contact.
