VON INGEN Authorities Expect to Make an Ar- rest Before Day Closes— Youth Suspected. ‘The wild driver who recklessly ran his car into the car in which Dr. Philip Von Ingen and Mrs. Cornelius N. Bliss jr. were riding near Roslyn, L. may be arrested before the end of the day, the authorities say, The victims were going slowly past Sear- ington Crossroads at 5 P. M. when an automobile passing them at terrific speed hit their fore wheel and threw them against: a telephone pole across the road. No one in the wrecked car saw the reckless driver, but his conduct, espe- cially his running away, directed suspicion toward a wealthy youth | who has long made that part of Long Island perilous. His car will be ex- amined for telltale marks. Dr. Von Ingen, who is prominent socially and is a specialist in tuber- culosis prevention, was taken to his home in New York, though not out of danger, Mrs. Bliss was only shaken and bruised. RE REISS PROTEST TO THE BRITISH BY 3 NEUTRAL NATIONS AGAINST SEA WARFARE. BERLIN (via wireless to Sayville, L. 1), July 14.—-Sweden, Norway and Denmark have joined in a protest to Great Britain against the continued molestation by British ships of Scan- dinavian shipping, according to Stock- holm despatches to-day. The Christiana Morgenbladet com- plains because England has not re- plied to ® protest against violation of Norwegian territory by sinking a Ger- man steamer within Norwegian terri- torial waters and demands immodiate action. Pate ed She GERMANY HAS LOST NEARLY ONE-HALF OF COLONIAL TERRITORY. LONDON, July 14.—The allies al- ready have conquered nearly half the territory included in Germany's col- onlal possessions, Bonar Law, Secre- tary for the Colonies, announced in Commons this afternoon. Thus far 450,000 square miles of German colonies out of a total of 1,100,000 are in the hands of Germany's enemies, he asserted. Runaway.

Tho Alpine troops dragged their ar- tiMlery to the heights near Roskofel, which is situated at an altitude of 6,600 feet. The Italians also are sald to have captured two important ports south jot Goriata. WURY IN THAW CASE RETIRES AFTER A 10- MINUTE CHARGE (Continued from First Page.) prepared. An appeal, however, would permit Thaw to go free under bail Supt. Kieb of Matteawan Asylum was not among tho: in the court room who regarded Thaw’s release as a foregone conclusion. He had with him in court two atten from Matteawan prepared to take Thaw back to the asylum should a recom: mitment be ordered. Deputy Attorney General Cook, asked how much time he needed for his argument, said: “Forty minutes will be ample for all I have to say.” Mr. Stanchfleld announced he would talk for two hours at least. There was no intimation as to the probable length of the charge of Jus- to the jwy. Even tiee Hendrick though the jury were to fecommend that Thaw be sent back to Mat- teawan, Justice Hendrick may set Thaw free by his final decision, hav- ing sworn ‘the jury in to act merely in an advisory capacity. The verdict was expected early this afternoon, After some odds and ends of testi- mony. from past hearings as to Thaw's sanity had been read by Thaw's counsel, Justice Hendrick asked for the intentions of the coun- sel as to use of time. DECLARES THE CASE MUST END TO-DAY. “If Your Honor has any solicitude as to our finishing to-day"—— began Mr, Stanchfield, “I know we will be through to-day. I have no such solicitude,” said Jus- tice Hendrick, smiling, “proceed.” Deputy Attorney General Frank Cook, after thanking the jury for its patient attention during nearly a month's absence from business, sald: “In a very few moments I shall pass over to you the responsibility which has rested on me and other officers of the State—that of determining whether Harry K. Thaw is sane and not a menace to the rest of the com- munity. It is for you to say whether you are willing to advise the court that it is proper for him to be re- leased and allowed to do as he pleases. “It Is a grave question for you to Yet this man Thaw is so interested that he ignores the evidence to which you have listened 20 Intently and sits here planning an automobile trip and studying mape of Burope.” A SAID THAW WAS INSANE FROM TIME OF BIRTH. Mr. Cook reviewed the family his- tory of Thaw and eaid his insanity was almost certain to appear from the moment he was born. He recilled Thaw’'s effort at Harvard to stab a fellow student in a gambling quarrel, and later to shoot a cabman and of his mixing in a barroom brawl in the Tenderloin in which be was felled by a water bottle, “He tried to study law,” shouted Mr, Cook, “The effort lasted but a few months. He never completed anything in his life except the murder ; of Stanford White, Mr. Cook pointed out that Thaw wes fighting to protect Evelyn Thaw's reputation and yet when facing con- vietion for musder put her on the stand to tell “the most revolting and humiliating story ever told on the witness stand;” also that though he knew the girl's history, he took her abroad and lived with her lawlessly for montha—and then married her. NOTHING CRAZIER IN HISTORY OF INSANITY, HE SAY “When did he become sane?” asked Mr, Cook, “When he gave out that WAR The German thrust at Verdun tions along a front of a mile and depth of three-fifths of a mile. taken, the statement says. of the trenches near Pilken, taken Reports of an Italian victory in Figures given out in Berlin sho vessels by German submarines duri & hotel bell boy or the immigration of- ficers, who saw him ip a disturbed state than that of ‘prominent citi- zens and business men’ who were practicaly selling him automobiles and insurance. It is only when tho spring is touched that his brain goes off control and shows what sort of a mind he has.” Mr. Cook discussed the life and reputation of Stanford White as jus- tifying Thaw's hatred and rage. “From what I had heard,” said Mr. Cook, “of White's orgies and of his wholesale dealings with young girls, I thought he was as complete and pow- erful in his field as the United States Steel Corporation is powerful and complete in the steel business. And I find he was only the Village Black- smith, Mr. Cook apologized for bringing Susan Merrill before the jury as & witness, He said she was as bad as she looked and the only thing to be said about her worse than was writ- ten on her face was that she was an associate of Harry Thaw. But, un- fortunately ‘for Thaw, he said, there were corroboratory tements which made the Merrill woman's testimony important. Mr, Stanchfield sprang to his feet with an objection, denying that any of Thaw's misdeeds in Mrs. Merrill's mouse were in evidence. Mr. Cook caught up a part of the record of evelyn Thaw's evidence and read her etatement of a partial confession to her by Thaw. NO PERSONAL FIGHT KEEPS HIM IN MADHOUSE, It has been charged, Mr. Cook said, that a bitter personal persecution is behind the effort to keep Thaw in Matteawan. He repudiated any such charge againss the present adminis- tration of the Attorney General's of- fice, saying: “We are here to pro- tect the people of this State, to de- fend the profound belief of another department of our Government that it is right and necessary to keep this man in restraint. “Never in your lives,” he concluded, “have you beep called on to make a more importaht decision—to decide whether or not Harry K. Thaw is a menace to the public peace and safety » when you consi his pated. aimless, good-for- erratic, wheeling- minded incoherence ever since he had been under restraint.” Just before Mr, Cook finished Sen- ators Ollie James of Kentucky and William Hughes of New Jersey en- tered the courtroom, escorted by Martin W. Littleton, The Senators sat on the bench with Justice Hendrick while Mr, Stanch- field was summing up, “We desire to call the attention of thig jury,” said Mr, Stanchfield, “to the bitter fight made by the Attorney General to prevent this question from coming before a jury. We persisted in asking for a jury because we de- sired that twelve men should decide whether after a man has been ac- quitted of murder he shall neces- sarily be locked up in a mad house for the rest of his life.” Mr. Stanchfield went at length into the form of Justice Dowling’s order committing Thaw to Matteawan, He pointed out that it said Thaw was to be locked up “until cured.” The only evidence of insanity in the trial before Justice Dowling, he said, was that Thaw was affected with manic d pressive insanity, a curable disease. Tt has not been testified at this hear- ing, Mr, Stanchfield said, that Thaw is in the least affected by manic de- pressive insanity. “The eminent allenist aide of the said Mr. Stanchfield, “re- © yesterday that ‘the un- written law does not go here.” Ni in a sense the statement wi practically it was not correct. Mr. Stanchfield reviewed the his- tory of the McFarland-Richardson and Sickles-Key affairs to prove that American juries have taken into con- ‘sideration temporary emotional in- |sanity as an excuse for homicide. DECLARES HIS INSANITY WAS ONLY TEMPORARY. The volume of evidence submitted to prove Thaw’s insanity, he sald, was | gathered by Mr. Delmas and Mr, Littleton in their effort to show that Thaw might have been overcome by | temporary emotionabinsanity induced | by @ great shock to his feelings. The McClure that Thaw was not insane to such a | degree that he was unable to confer with his counsel was read by Mr. Stanchfield, who ran over in detail the history of the various sanity hear- i in White Plains, saying none of the Justices bad the opportunities open to the McCluré Commission, Commission report NEWS IN: BRIEF ground, according to the current official statement from Berlin, In the Argonne the Germans report having captured French posi- The hill known as No. 285 also was The latest French official statement claims that the German attacks in the Argonne have been definitely stopped.

I do not want to lead or cloud your lay judgment. “Let me impress one consideration upon you gentlemen: This man is not before you for a judgment as to whether he ought to be punished or has resulted in an important gain of to whether he should be punished for any act of his life. Even though we assume him guilty of degeneracy or murder, he is not here to be punished for that. The only question is, ‘Is he now eane?" JUROR INTIMATED QUICK VER- DICT EXPECTED. This man has been adjudged in- sane. But it is your duty to deter- mine whether he is sane. You have heard the witnesses from New Hamp- shire. You have heard him on the stand. You have observed his con- duct in court. You know in your own minds whethér in your judgment he is now atill insane or is sane; whether or not he is a menace to society.” Deputy Attorney General Becker asked the Justice to remind the jury that “menace to the community wasn't the whole thing.” Justice Hendrick agreed. “Also,” said Mr. Becker, “that Thaw paid the bills of the New Hampshire commission, 8, yes,” sald Justice Hendrick. “Also,” remarked Mr. Stanchfleld, ‘that the State paid Flint.” There were shouts of laughter, quickly suppressed by the Court. “You may retire,” said the Justice. “Shall we retire?” asked David Robinson, «foreman of the jury, with what some thought was a significant ion. The jury went out at 2.45 THREE MEN KILLED; NEGRO IS BESIEGED Hundreds of Georgians Surround Home of Black Man Accused of Triple Murder. MACON, Ga., July 14.—Three white men are dead to-day at Cochran, Ga., in Pulaski County, and a posse of several hundred farmers heavily armed has surrounded the home of a negro farm hand, who is alleged to have shot and killed the three men. The negro has barricaded himself in his home. James Jackson, the negro, at last reports, had succeeded in holding off the posse. The dead are: W. 8. Hogg, forty years old, night marshal; Lynn Sanders, forty, farm supervisor, and Oscar Lawson, twenty-three, a farm hand. Jackson, according to reports, was criticized by Sanders late yesterday for some work he had done, and the supervisor is said to hava struck the negro. Later, it is alleged, Jackson accosted Sanders, drew a pistol and four-fifths, the gain extending to a by the British on July 5, but were the Carnic Alps, with two miles of w the sinking of forty-two merchant ing the month of June, the tonnage homtspheres between his action and the beastly betrayal of her by Whit Mr. Stanchfield described the scene in Paris when Evelyn refused at first to marry Thaw and made her con. fession to him. “Is it any wonder that his mind was disturbed and that there was in spired in his emotional nature ¢ deadly hatred for Stanford White?’ asked Mr, Stanchfield. DECLARES WHITE THREATENEC TO KILL THAW. The Attorney General was charged by Thaw’'s counsel with suppressing all mention to the jury of Thaw’s in- formation that White was seeking to win Evelyn Thaw away from her husband. "Yes," he cried. “Thaw did hate White and he had reason to know White also hated him and had threat- ened to kill him. The quarrel be- tween them was between a married libertine seeking to lure away an- other ma‘ wife, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, a man who loved her so tenderly as vo make her his wife and take het threshold of his mother’s Mr. Stanchfield went step by ster through the evidence, marking every step by assertions that Thaw was al- ways essentially sane. Referring to Mr, Cook's question to the ju “Would you want your family to sociate with Harry Thaw leased?” Mr. Stanchfleld said , You saw Mrs. Frank Sargent here. ‘ou saw how simple, f and wholesome she wa: you that she had two daughte: twenty and twenty-one years old, and that they constantly associated with Thaw with her knowledge and con- sent. And she id, too, that she knew Thaw was sane, not by fanci- ful tests of paid allentsts, but by comparing him with other men whose sanity had never been doubted but who were neither as clear or sen- | sible as Thaw.’ fired twice, one bullet entering Dr. Austin Flint came in for a| Sanders’ heart, killing him almost somewhat exhaustive analysis of his| instantly.

It nearly threw me off my equilibrium. I never expected to elicit such an answer. Think of it, gentlemen! This venerable man, the greatest—American—allenist was in fear of having his mental powers captured by the hypnotic influence of tho stare of the Harry K. Thaw whose mental incapacity he had for hours bar rye a the stand. “Give to Harry Thaw," sald Mr. Stanchfield, “the lMberty of ‘ an American man and restore him to his dear, good, old mother.” Mr. Stanchfleld concluded his sum- mation at 5 and Justice Hendrick immediately began charging the jury. Justice Hendrick, in instructing the jury, sald he wished to compliment counsel on both sides for their com- petence, fairness, courtesy and re- spect to the Court, which he sald was & mode! to the bar of the State.
