C., March s.—lt seems to be quite the proper thing now adays for every one in public life, from the President down through an in terminable list of officeholders, to run down to Panama on a little jaunt just to see if the work on the isthmian ca nal is progressing satisfactorily. If there is anyone in Washington who has not received an invitation to one of these official junkets it must have, 1 been through an oversight. Not only have a legion of public officials already taken the trip or are preparing for it, j but members of their families and numerous friends have shared in the pleasures of the excursions at U Uncle Sam's expense. The latest party to make the trip is scheduled to sail from New York tomorrow on the steamer Alliance. It will be made up of about fift ymem bcrs of the Senate and House, with a number of guests. The party will be gone about a mouth and probably will touch at several of the West Indian ports en route. During their stay in the canal zone the Congressmen in tend to make a thorough inspection of conditions there with a view to being better prepared to deal with any meas ures that may come before them in the future in relation to the construction of the canal. BURNED BY EXPLOSION. Thirty-Six Burned Fcurten of the Victims of Disaster Are Reported Ncsr to Death. ** Scranton, Pa., March 4. —Fear torn men are near death in Taylor hospi' tal and twelve others suffering slight ly fiom burns through a terrible ex plosion of gas that swept through a portion of the Clark vein of tii3 Hoi den mine of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Company, at North Tay lor. Whether thirty ether miners at work in the affected section escaped was in doubt up to ten o'clock last night when Mine Inspector David Williams felt safe in saying they were all out of the mine and alive. This statement he made only after it was possible for searching parties to make a tour of the affected parts cf the mine and who returned with the report that they could find no men in the workings who had been reported missing. Still this news was not reassuring to hundreds who still gather about the shaft's head for the doubt and fears of the afternoon and evening were not removed and they felt certain that there were yet others whose lifeless bodies would be found later. NEGRO SENTENCED TO DIE. Owing to Certain Testimony, Howev er, His punishment May Be Commut ed tc Life imprisonment. Gafiney, March 4. —Upon the open ing cf court this morning Judge Al clrich sentenced Ed. F.ainey, colored, to be hanged on April 12 next. Rainey was convicted last June cf having car nal knowledge of and abusing a child under fourteen years of age, so severe ly that she afterward died.

HICKORY, N. C„ THURSDAY MARCH 7, 1907, 10-DAY WAS BUSY DM THITIL THE PROCEEDINGS The Defense is Making a Desperate Effort to Prove Thaw Sane Now, but In sane at Time the Murder Was Committed. Nature 'of Testimony of Harry Thaw's Mother. Another Expert was Cross, Examined by Jerome at t To-day's Session. New York, March 5. —It is probable Mrs. William Thaw mother of Harry Thaw will take the stand in the Thaw trial today, for the purpose of doing what she can to save her son from the consequences of the killing of Stanford White. She i§ expected to testify that in his youth her son was of a very nervous temperament and that as a child he suffered from various nervous diseas es. It has been said that she will also testify as to the strain of insanity in her family. Dr. Wagner is expected to be on the stand a part of the day. So far as one can follow his object Jerome seems to be trying to show by Dr. Wagner's admissions that Thaw never was insane. ( Delmas made a few objection to Jerome's questions to Dr. Wagner and many are of the opinion that the defense will rot object to this line of questioning, while they will resist very strenuously any attempt to show that Thaw is now insane, preferring to take their chances with the jury rather than with a lunacy commission. A point being discussed is the legal standing of the marriage between H. K. Thaw and Evel>n Nesbit. Dr. Evans and Dr. Wagner have tes tified they belie v. Thaw of unsound mind wher. ho sigied the will and the codicil on the night cf April 4, 1903. This was the day of the marriage. If Thaw was insane at that time h3 was, under the law of Pennsylvania, incompetent to enter into a contract. Dr. Wagner Questioned. Dr. Wagner was recalled to the stand for his cross-examination. I Jerome began reading the latter part of Dr. Wagner'p testimony yester day, regarding the characteristics of brain storms. Jerome asked Wagner if he could cite a brain storm in which the onset took place in ten minutes. The doctor could not. "Does the calmness and delibera tion with which Thaw walked down the aisle cf the Roof Garden and thot White indicate anything about his mental condition? Is it natural lor a person suffering from brain storm to act in this manner?" askea Jerome. "I have already told you that I can-1 •:ot lay down any rule as to the con duct in insanity," replied the witness. "There is no natural way in which things are done. Insanity in ilseli is unnatural. I remember one case in which the patient was out with a walking party and suddenly jumped into a canal, climbed under a cul vert and was drowned. , I remember another case of a patient who took off his necktie, tied it to the bed, and lying down on the floor, rested his Deck in the loop he made in the tie lintil he was choked to death." "Have ycir ever known a pfson to commit an act of homicide in a brain storm by going about it with calmness and coolness?" "There are no two cases of in sanity, or even of sanity for that matter, which are exactly similar." ''Since you will not answer my ' question directly, am I right in as suming that you have never observ ed a case of brain storm or n#ntal Instructions To the Jury The Chief Interest in the Strothers Case To-day Centers in Instructions of The Judge to 7he Jury. s Culpeper, Va., March 5. —Judge Harrison's instructions to the jury will hold the greatest interest of to day's session of the trial of James A. and Philip Strother. • These have been completed and will be given to the jury after the summing up by the counsel. While the judge made no specific reference to the "unwritten law," his instructions covered the plea ol "emotional insanity," entered by the defence and regarded as of vital im poitance as to the outcome of tne trial. He warned the jury not_ to be pre judiced against the possibility of this plea representing the defendant's condition at the time of the tragedy. AND PRESS fulmination in which a person com mitted acts of violence with calm ness?" j "I prefer to answer as I have, 'cool ress and deliberation,' does not ac curately fit any case I have ever known." "You couldn't tell what was going on in the defendant's brain except what was apparent to the eye, could you?" , \ "No." Jerome questioned Wagner about the various forms of insanity, in cluding paranoia. "Dr. Evans has testified that the defendant was suffering from para noia, a form of adolescent insanity," said Jerome. "Do you subscribe to that?" "Paranoia," replied the witness, "may mean a dozen different forms. Paranoia means 'like in character' ' and that is all. It does not mean specifically delusions of persecu lions." "Do you think this defendant ever bad delusions of persecution?" "Yes." The witness said Thaw, wnen he saw him in the Tombs, had an abnor mal flow of words. Jerome asked if the ability of Thaw to smell correctly was of importance ps testifying that the had recently passed through a brain storm. "I don't know as that proved any thing ope way or the other," replied Wagner. The witness was questioned about the tests of the cranial nerves, ana said Dr. Evans came to the conclu sion that Thaw did not suffer from general paresis. Hot Time in Court. Dr. Wagner went into a long explana tion of the nature of the illusions, de lusions and halucinations of taste and smell, which he followed with techni cal descriptions of the nerves, nervous diseases and affections and tests used in examining them. One of the diseas es he names had a name consisting of five complicated Latin words which caused a laugh in the court room. "Is it contagicyus?" asked Mr. Je rome. The witness laughed with the others and said he did not think it was. "In all the evidence submitted to me and on which I based my opinion." said the witness, "there was not the slightest suggestion of epilepsy." Jerome pressed for an answer to the question if there was anything in Thaw's actions on the night he shot t White. Dr. Wagner said he knew of nothing "necessarily" suggesting epi-, lepsy. _ At this point there begun one of the most spirited incidents of the trial with Jerome, Delmas, Justice, Fitz gerald and the witness, all part. ) "Don't duck by using 'necessarily' commanded the District Attorney. "I am not ducking," replied Dr. Wag ner, with spirit. "I am telling the truth." Justice Fitzgerald rapped with his gavel and ordered all remarks stricken from the records. "An epileptic may have done these things," continued Dr. Wagner, "but no single thing points to epilepsy." Attorneys Clash. Jerome asked the witness to tell all that the defendant said to him in the tombs, regarding the subject of epi lepsy in the family. Delmas objected on the grounds that the question was too broad. "This is a most unusual thing," said Jerome, "for a scientific witness to try have sold for §3.500 the tract of city ask broad questions to test the credi bility of this witness as an honest man." Delmas declared Jerome's questions were too broad. During the debate Delmas, character ized Jeiome's remarks as "offensive" and said that they tended to lower the standaids and dignity of the court. A clash between Jerome and Justice Fitzgeiald followed. Justice Fitzger ald asied if the jury had been empan nelled in to try anything except the is sue that the defendant was insane on the nisht he shot and killed White. Jerome srid he wculd not reply to the proposition so elemental. He also re fused poirt blank to submit any au thorities on the subject, saying his respect for the court was •so high he would not presume to submit authori ties on the question so elemental. "If you do not submit authorities," said Justice Fitzgerald, "I will assume that you do not know any." Justice Fitzgerald ended by sustain ing the objection by the defense that District Attorney Jerome's questions to Dr. Wagner were too broad. Michigan Growers.
