Feel Well Fed ellday when you begin on Grape-Nuts This food sustains the i;trc:isth as none other does. "There's a Reason." New ork, Jan. 4. Unless some thing altogether unforeseen occurs the second trial of Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White will begin nest v.e;:: before Justice Dowling in the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court. The attorneys for both the prosecution and the de fense are ready for the trial and de sirous that it shall proceed without further delay. The impatience of the .:-:coner for the trial to begin is kell known. It will doubtless be the mcst welcome sound he has heard in months when the keeper's keys rattle in his cell door and he is asked to march across the Bridge of Sighs to face once more the judge, the prose cutor and the throng of morbidly cu rious who will crowd the court room to hear the trial. Great interest centers in the course of the defense at the coming trial. It is generally believed that despite any ideas of justification which Thaw may believe in, his present lawyers will confine themselves to making out a case of legal insanity. This may be emotional, or heredi tary, both of these phases of the matter having been gone into at the first trial. There wil be a few changes among the witnesses, though for the most part they will be the same as testified at the first trial. Several of the alienists will be dropped and it is possible there may be several new ones introduced. Fireman Paul Brudi, who was one o fthe first on the scene after the shooting; Po liceman A. L. Debs, who got Thaw'i and the gun; E. H. Convey, assistant superintendent of Madison Square Garden; H. F. Blaese and Meyer Cohen, eye-witnesses of the affair, will all be put on the stand to tell their stories again. Mae Mackenzie, an actress friend of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, was one of the foremost characters in the first trial, and had a prominent place in the history of the case. It is now rumored that she may be placed on the stand by the commonwealth and be used by the district attorney in an effort to convict ThaAv. Missing wThen the case went to trial the first time, was Miss Ida Vera Simonton, of Pittsburg. She was in South Africa, where she remained until a short .time ago, when she re turned to Pittsburg. The testimony to be offered by this missing wit ness is the unknown quantity in an equation that has once refused to yield to the sohrer, and it is awaited with interest. Admitting that she knowrs something about the case, Miss bimonton has announced that she will obey a summons of the court and will go on the witness stand. Also she has said her testimony will be sensational and will be for the com moriwealth, as against the defendant One actor in the dramatic first trial has passed out of the case This is Abe Hummel, the once prom inent little attorney, who testified to the relations between Evelyn Nesbit and Stanford White and was re garded as one of the star witnesses for the prosecution. Hummel is now serving a term on Blackwell's Island and as he will not be released until March District Attorney Jerome must get along without his aid. There is much speculation , as to whether or not Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, the school girl-like figure about which the storm and tempest of the first trial beat out its fury, will again take the stand in her husband's de fense. A report has been current for some time that she will not, but a definite decision in the matter may not be arrived at until the trial is well under way. Without her testi mony there would be difficulty in making out a case of emotional in sanity. If medical or hereditary in sanity be the plan of the defense, the best Thaw can hope for is an in definite commitnment to the state hospital for the criminal insane. A successful plea of emotional insanity is the only defense which can be relied upon to gain Thaw absolute freedom. Neither Thaw nor his wife relishes the idea of placing the girl at the mercy of another cross-examination by Mr. Jerome, who, unmoved bv her tears or her burning cheeks of shame., forced her to admit- the lone-continued relations between her and Stanford White, and to toll the jury in plain words of the two !iu ronean tours she made with Thaw before becoming his wife. It was on one of these tours, the girl, de clared, that Thaw demanded to know of her reason why she would not consent to oe his wife. Then she told him her life-history and of the alleged wrong which she claimed had ruined her career. Told for the second time, the wonderful story might she .claimed had ruined her career. Told for the second time, the wonderful story might lose much of the dramatic effect of its first of fering, and it is not generally be lieved that young Mrs. Thaw, in the knowledge of the cross-examination that would come, could hold herself together as well as she did at the first trial. District Attorney Jerome and 5iy father had been a sufferer from oleic headache for the last twenty-five years and never found any relief nntil he began taking your Cascarets. Since he has begun taking Cascarets lie Jiub never bad the headache. They have entirely cured him. Cascarets do what you recommend tliem to do. I will give you the privilege of using his name.,: E.M.

Garvan, his first assist ant, again will have charge of the prosecution, but Thaw has made an important change of attorneys. Re placing Mr. Delmasas chief counsel will be Martin W. Littletca, of Brook lyn. Mr. Littleton is known as a capable lawyer and brilliant orator. ti is a Southern man, a native ot Tcnne&see. For a while he was as sistant prosecuting attorney in Dal las, lexns. Later he removed to Brooklyn and at once became a prominent figure in politics and at the besr. He will have among his associates Daniel O'Reilly, who was one of the counsel for Thaw in the first tri ll. It is believed that the second trial will be much shorter than the first one, which covered a period of 12 weeks. All of the attorneys in the case expect the coming trial to be over in a few weeks. "In my opinion the second trial will be much shorter than the first one," says Assistant District Attorney Garvan. "It is going to take a long time to get a jury, but after that the trial is going to skin along. I under stand that even the getting of a jury will not take as long as it did last time, for Justice Dowling is going to hold night sessions until one has been secured. It would not surprise me if Justice Dowling held night ses sions during the trial itself." HOPEWELL ITEMS. An Enjoyable Dance Given at the Home of Mr. Reems. Special 'Correspondence Te News.
