'What do you know this morning r ukori an ' Observer !. reporter 1 or a rhariott woman yesterday. 'V ' I,; "I know little of local Interest, but I can y a thing- or two about the Thata atl right," explained the newKnaoer man. "our " citlens are keening W with the trlaL Tell me all , you know about it."

I have beetf to New Tork ? for months and months at , a s time and knew White. He it said to 7 hate been just as bad as he is pictured, but Thaw had no business killing , him. '; It la wrong to take a life." Then you do not believe In the ' Biwsrltten law?" . "Not in this case." The reporter moved on. The next perron he met was a man of the , ' orld. That is an entertaining story that you have in The Observer this morn ' Jng," declared the fellow with a se rious, solemn face. , "What; about the new hotel?" i "No. The Thaw case." ' I haven't read It yet," admitted the reporter. 'lei, sir. It Is all right. It that fclrl tells the truth Thaw did right to kill Stanford White." "Why, White was a man of affairs; brilliant scholar; a famous archi tect, while Thaw is nothing more than a wealthy, weak-minded, gpod " -1 or-nothlng spendthrift!" T "Ye. my dear fellow, but he has 41 heart and is entitled to the same rights under the law that White had. You know I can't tolerate the well- to-do man, the learned man, who ! ' marries a wife, keeps a home and rears a family Just for the name of ( the thing and then, for a pastime, - preys on young girls. Therefore, 1 lay that If Evelyn Thaw tells the .w truth White deserved death at the hands of tho man who made her his Ife." This man went his way. "What do you think of ICvelyn ' Thaw's story?" asked a young pulnter, , ho had Juat lifted his dripping brush i from, a bucket of atnt and whs about , , to apply It to the -wall In front of 1 him.- "It Is very Interesting to say the . least," answered the meandering scribe. "It shone is to me. Ain't that Del mas, the California lawyer, a honey-per-looler? I thought old Jerome was going to put Thaw In the electric . chair, when that tother guy, Gleason, was conducting the cane, but he's struck a man now. Gee, If I had the dough I would go to New York Ml hear that trial'." "1 guess you are like (T'..i i . . elsA you think that Thaw should bo electrocuted ?" "Who, me 7 Not on your tin type I think the Jury ought to turn him loose. He did a good day's work When he shot Stanford White.

As the n-wsgnthf rer started oft th- painter shoved 1 1 1 brush, sent It gliding back and fort It ac ross the celling.

"What do you think of th Thaw case, anyway?" nki-d th"' ncw-corm-r. "It Is getting lively. The Associ ated Prt8 story In Tb- Observer thin morning gave tnn a thlrM fur details" "I see.

Fire In Double Tendered Brick; Itort- dence Calls Forth Comment "by lading Insurance Expert on the Nerd of BrtWnr Inspector t, "The: neediiof competent building Inspecor was strikingly- evidenced Wednesday nlkht by 'the fire Which occurred in tne double-veneered house at the corner' ' of -Church and sixth atreets," remarked a prominent Insurance expert to 'an Observer re porter yesterday. "The building waa almost finished,- th plaaterers hav ing about, flnlshed their wor.: vTh workmen employed in putting the finishing touches had kept & not Are burning all day Wednesday. When they left that night they failed ttf put It out. There was but one layer of brick at the back of the fireplace and, strange to say, Just behind that one layer of brick was a -section of weathwrboardlng. The fire burning during tne day had dried out the wood until It waa llae tinder. The prolonged period of heat at last ig nited the wood and It began to burn On the outside of the weathsrboard- lng waa another layer of brick which constituted the veneered surface ex posed to the street. The flumes were thus confined between two layers of brick, about 4 Inches apart. After slowly burnlrig from the jtlrst floor to the roof, tne nre leaped across to th lathe partition In thw attic and thus freed from the confining walls, bian to gather headway. Fortu nately someone discovered the blnze by the tell-tale smoko and the alarm waji sounded. 4 The firemen had a hnrd time of It, for it was a most difficult matter to get at the seat of the flames. After a prolonged ftgnt, however, tlw fire was extinguished. "Don't understand me to say that veneered houses cannot be construct ed In a safe manner. They can If the proper attention Is given them. There Is a tendency among builders nowadays to seek to finish their work as quickly as possible. This seems to be the spirit of the as". It Is dangerous and snould bo counternct- .. ,1 1 1 ........ 1 1. 1 Tl... , -t U i,Ann(vrnil house, to which I referred, is a hand some structure and, I daresay, safe In almost all particulars. Rut there was gross carelessness to put In a wooden partition separating the In ner and outer layers of brick even If there was another layer of brick to lo put In later when tlve grate was Installed. The proper article to use behind a fireplace Is something In combustible When tne tire occur red Wednesday night. I believe It wits a little after 12 o'clock, there was no one living In the house. If It had happened a few weeks later, how,"vcr. It would have endangered human llf" and mlgU have resulted disastrously "A building Inspector, whose duty would be to Inspect all houses with in tne city limits while In course of erection, would result In great sav ing f'htirlotte n'-eds an officer of this kind, Just ns she does a milk In spector. I believe that this matter should be presented to the board of aldermen us a special officer dftlegaterl for this purpose Had there been such an olllcer to look nfter this building, the wooden partition In the n r of the fireplace would nvcr hiivn been allowed. It would nave been ordered n-moved and thus elimi nate,! the danger." THE KATE OF TRIAL KET.
