CAUCASIAN. VOL. XXV. f,t RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY FEBRUARY 21, IU07. NO. 7. THAW TRIAL AGAIN Death of a Juror's Wife Was the Cause of Delay THE ENTIRE COURT SADDENED Husband Summoned to Bedside When Trial Had Been in Progress Less Than Four Minutes and Death Came Shortly After His Arrival. New York, Special. Another tra it- chapter in the history of the 'J haw-White epoxide was wiittcn Thursday when grim death stepped in to halt the famous trial in its fourth week. The wife of juror No. 11, Mrs. Jos. IJ. Bolton, parsed away soon after her husband reached her bedside. He had been summoned from the court room, where the trial had hrcn in progress less than four minutes. The formal announcement of Mrs. liolton s death ras made in court shortly after tie hour set for Ihe afternoon session, and Justice Fitzgerald immediately ordered an adjournment of the case until next Monday morning. The court alao ordered, with the consent of counsel, that the other 11 jurymen be given their liberty and uo longer be held together. He admonished the jurors to lx guided by their honor and their oaths and not to read the newspapers or discuss the Thaw case with any body. Doctors to Testify in Court. The statement in court that counsel for the defense and prosecution had considered the proposition of taking the dispositions of Doctors Bingham and Deemar, the Thaw family plysi cians. during1 the enforced recess which was endorsed by Justice Fitz gerald, subsequently modified by by statements made after recess. Mr. Hart ride, of counsel for Thaw, says that the defense has decided that it will he of greater advantage to have the physicians testily in court. Mr. Hartiidge said thai what they have to say would be of greater ad vantage if told to jury by word of mouth than if depositions were read. The death of juror Bolton's wife cast gloom over the criminal courts building and had a particularly de pressing effect upon every one con nected with the trial. The prisoner seemed to feel the matter quite keen ly when he Avas brought into court to hem- the formal announcement of the order for a postponement of his further hearing. The fact that the Thaw jurors have been kept in close confinement since they were select ed for trial service and that Mr. B"ltui had been allowed to visit his wife's home only three times during his wife's fatal illness, lent a pa thetic aspect to the case and the greatest sympathy to the afflicted man was expressed on all sides. Trial Resumed. The trial was resumed on Monday. Expert testimony was taken to prove Thaw insane. "1 never wanted to shoot the creature, I never wantd (o kill him. I knew he was a foul creature, destroying the mothers and daughters of America, but I wanted through legal means to bring him to trial. I wanted to get him into court to bring him to justice. Bnt Pro vidence took charge of it; it was an B."t of Providence." This is Harrv K. Thaw's own story of the killing of Stanford White. It was told by him to Dr. Britton D. Evan?, the alienist, last August in the Tombs. Dr. Evans repeated the prisoner's words to the jury which is tring Thaw for his lifje. District Attorney Jerome fought hard last week against the introduc tion of this evidence, which the de fense believes is conclusive proof that Thaw did not know his act was wrong. Once the testifying physi cians had declared that in their opin ion Thaw wa-j insane at the time he made the statements to them, how eer, the rules of evjJenee permitted the introduction of the prisoner's words. Icr a Two and One-Half-Cent Pas senger Fare. Madison, Wis., Special.

It was a postal card and photograph of some old ruin in Rome, and on the narrow margin was written "Greet ings!" And all of the "letters" wero on such lines. But then how much briefer aud more satisfactory than the ten-page description of the Colliseum with which travellers were wont to legale correspondents at home? It would be a gain, too, if the same tour ists, returned from their trips, -would only confine their conversation, to a similar graphic brevity! DREADED TO EAT A Quaker Couple's Experience. How many persons dread to eat their meals, although actually hun gry nearly all the time! Nature never intended this should be so, for we are given a thing called appetite that should guide us as to what the system needs at any time and can digest. But we get in a hurry, swallow our food very much as we shovel coal Into the furnace, and our sense of appetite becomes unnatural and per verted. Then we eat the wrong kind of food or eat too much, and there you arc Indigestion and its accom panying miseries. A Phila. lady said the other day: "My husband and I have been sick and nervous for 15 or 20 years from drinking coffee feverish, indiges tion, totally unfit, a good part of the time, for work or pleasure. We act ually dreaded to eat our meals. "We tried doctors and patent med icines that counted up into hundreds of dollars, with little if any benefit. "Accidentally, a small package of Postum came into my hands. I made some according to directions, with surprising results. We both liked It and have not used any coffee since. "The dull feeling after meals has loft; us and we feel better every way. We a,re so well satisfied with Postum that we recommend it to our friends who have been made sick and nervous and miserable by coffee." Name giv en by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

A projosition to establish a State-owned railroad from Chicago to Savannah, Ga.. was suggested to Corporation Counsel Lewis by Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, in a letter. Gov. Smith declared that such a line would re duce freight rates and would have a great influence on trade relations with the South. The letter says: "I am much interested in the rail road rates from the lakes to Georgia. Our State owns a railroad from At lanta to Chattanooga and there is a strong sentiment in favor of extend ing it to Savannah. If Cineinnatti could reclaim control of the line built by its citizens from Cincinnati , to Chicago, and jCincinnatti and Chicago would join a movement for the con struction of a line from Chicago to Savannah, there might be a through trunk line from Ceicago to Savannah, operated solely for the purpose of paying expenses and interests of the actual cost of construction without the burdens of watered stocks and bonds. Such a line would prove beu efieial not only to the great cities through which it passed but to a broad territory adjacent to the line. It would rednee freight rates more than 23 per cent. It would have a most marked influence on our trade relations." Five Business Houses Burn. Pittsburg, Pa., Special.
