SHEARS MRS. ANGLE SAD DRUNKEN BRAWL CAUSED BALLON END Chief of Police Brennan Testi- fies Accused Woman Made Conflicting Statements. (Special from a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) BRIDGBPORT, Conn., March 11— The climax of the trial of Mrs, Helen M. Angle of Stamford, charged with the involuntary killing of her elderly suitor, Waldo R. Ballou, last June, was reached this afternoon wheff Chief of Police Willlam Brennan, of Stamford, took thi nd as a prose- cutor’s witness, Brennan told how Mrs. Angle pre- tended not to know anything had happened to Balou an hour-after he had been found dying on the door- step of the Rippowam Building, in which she lodged. But after.a while, she said, according to the Chief, “You know, Bill, this was the result of drink. Ballou was awul drunk.” Though Mrs, Angle at fire: denied the footprints outside her door were hers, she took a sudden shift, ac- cording to Chief Brennan, when he asked about Ballou's being drunk. Q. (Bb Mr, Cummings)—Just what Landay’s Victrola O'Connell examined It thoroughly. The round black object was mud.

Page's refusal to allow witnesses to give their conclusions as to Thaw's sanity is a hard blow to the defense. The Judge has, permitted all wit- nesses to say how Thaw dressed, act- ed, spoke and looked, but when a wit- ness was asked his conclusion from these appearances he was not per- mitted to atate it. The question of Thaw’s sanity denly put a temporary halt to his trial for conspiracy to-day. Justice Page excused the jury when lawyers for the State and defense argued over the admizaibility of testimony showing whether or not Stanford White's slayer was rational, The moment this trial ends there will begin a great race for liberty. ‘The two attendants from Matteawan already v ‘ting in the court room, will start with Thaw for that asylum. ‘Thaw's detectives, armed with a writ of habeus corpus, will try to bead them off and g@erve the writ before a] tien got as far north as White Plaing, Made by P.

His neck, while still stiff, did not give him so much trouble as it had op yesterday and he believed that he would be able to dispense with at least one of the two sweaters he wore yesterday. Thaw marched into court at 10.25 A. M, looking much better than yes- terday, refreshed by a good night's sleep and wearing only one of his aweaters, Bernard H. Kelsey, deputy sheriff, wha lives in Colebrook, N. H., said that-he was on « train going to Cole- brook on the afternoon of Aug. 18, 1918. Questioned by Mr, Kennedy, the witness said that a man addressed him on the train, asking him to let him see him privately, Kelsey said that when ho turned in response to a touch on the shoulder he recognised Thaw. “DO YOU KNOW WHO | AMI” ASKED THAW. “Do you know who I am?” Thaw asked, the witness said, and the wit- ness replied: “I covld make a blamed 00d guess as to w10 you are.” ‘Thaw asked him who were the best lawyers in that part of the country, and told him that he was very anxious to get back to Pittsburg! Kelney said that Thaw was etill on the train when he left it at Colebrook. ‘The witness said that at Colebrook he got an automobile and went to Beech Falls, where he learned that Thaw had been. He telephoned to Coaticook, Canada, where he learned that Thaw had gone, and where Thaw later was arrested. The witness next sew Thaw at Colebrook, where he was| 51 taken after being deported from Can- ada upon the action of the immigra- tom officials. Mr. Kelsey was cross-cxamined by John ichfield. The witness said that he knew Thaw had left Mat- teawan when he saw him on the train en route from Lancaster. Kelsey said there was no effort on the part of ‘Thaw to conceal his identity and he Jearned that Thaw was aware that he was a deputy sheriff when he ac- costed the witness. Thaw asked him, Kelsey said, if the State of New York had any jurisdiction, but he could not recall that Thaw had said that he had been advised by a lawyer as to his rights. Kelsey eaid that be understoog from ‘Thaw that he was to endeavor to get into Pennsylvania without going to New York.
