The Justice amendment made the law notice to the railroad,, the law taking the place of actual notice by the shipper of Importance of prompt de livery? Mr. Bickett, opposing the amend ment, said the Justice amendment was fraught with great danger. Ho would much prefer taking the bill as reported Ay, tho committee, even striking out the Douglass amendment! limiting penalties to three times the v.iln r.f tho o-tlrla than oonont Mo amendment. Instead of peppering ; the railroads with a shotgun, as the present penalty laws did, the Justice amendment went for them with a Columbiad. He cited instances of whero suits had been brought and heavy verdicts given against the rail roads where the bars were let down and permit all kinds of theories as to damago go to the Jury. In reply to an inquiry from Mr. Justice, the speaker said he appeared for the de fendant in this case, and in answer to another question he said the Judgo set the verdict aside. Mr. Justice said his amendment met the objections of those who had been crying out against speculators In penalties. It eut these speculators out, but let the business men, manu facturers, etc., in. Under the pro posed bill there could be no recovery of penalties over $26.25 in less than carload lots, no matter what might bo tho damage, and nut even then with out a long and expensive lawsuit.

(By the Associated Press.) New York, March 6. Battling Nel son, the pugilist, occupied the entire attention of the spectators in the court room today up to the time the defend- ntzgeraiu naa lateen nis place on tne bench. ' Nelson was accompanied by his manager, William Nolan. Thay occupied seats Just behind the prisoner. At the opening of the trial Dr. Wag ner was recalled to the stand for cross examination. Thaw again came into the court laden down with letters which continue to come to him from all quarters of the globe. Most of these letters are in the praise of the defendant. Questioning Wagner. Dr., Wagner, replying to questions, said he believed that when Thaw wrote the section of his will providing for a fund for the prosecution of any one who might take his life, his mind was clouded and he did not have as clear an idea of such matters as a man who was wholly sane, mut enough to be able to appreciate that the taking of human life was a crime. "Doctor, when this defendait stood up to be married on the same day that the will w;is signed, did he not know what he was doing?" asked Jerome. "I don't think his mind was entirely clear." ., "Was It clear enough to understand he was getting married?" I . some length regarding the letter Writ ten by Thaw In 1903 to Attorney Long fellow, Jerome suddenly asked: Was there any period, doctor, be tween 1903 and 1905 when this defendant was In full possession of his faculties?" Wagner replied: "There are several months In that period of which.! have no record. It is possible that there may have been a recovery during that tlria and a condition of soundess.' Jerome took up the matter from works I of various authors on, psychistry, other I mental diseases and asked Wagner's opinion of these works and writers. For half an hour this line of question ing was kept up, Wagner acknowledg- "' turned to Thaw's letter. Dr. Wagner was asked by Jerome if he could say from a description of the killing of White if Thaw was in sane or Blmpy intoxicated. The alienist replied that there was noth ing whatever to indicate intoxica tion but much to indicate insanity. An Interruption. JiiKt here a tall man created a stir in the court room by suddenly slip ping into one of the vacant chairs at Thaw's counsel tablj and engaging the defendant in an earnest conver sation. An officer moved toward the table, but Attorney O'Reilly Inter posed hi.nself between the prisoner and tho newcomer, who arose, shook Thaw's hand cordially, and left the court room. It was explained that the man was from Pittsburg and had been a close friend of Thaw's father. "Do you knowhe disease known as circular Insanity?'.' asked Jerome. "Yes," replied witness. "Is reasoning in a circle a sign of circular insanity?" "I don't know what you mean by reasoning in a circle," said Wagner. ."The. kind of reasoning you have been doing," retorted Jerome. : Rack To Roof pnrden. , , The prosecutor taking up the events on tho roof garden on the night that Thaw killed White asked the witness if sep arate acts of the defendant that night indicated in sanity. ,. -"Taken in connection with all that wcd " u Wng the pttA 'ligence tonow tnat ne Was causinj Z."? elevator after the tragedy; but . theao, j facts do not-show that he was saie." .Jerome askedi ' ('Would jour op- j in ion as to tha condttlon, be Influenced Whrch would make tliem.
