The prisoner nodded to his wife as he was shown to a seat inside the rail. "When did you first see the de fendant?" asked Commissioner Mc Clure. "On June 26, 1906." "How often have you see him?" "Probably twice a week." "Have you been in court since the beginning of the trial?" "Yes." "Tell us of any irrational action, j on have saen on his part during that time." j"I have seen none." Jerome objected that Dr. McGuire had been seated behind the jury box and therefore could not see how Thaw i acted. j Mr. Mr. McClure: j "Well, while he was on his way . w me cuun ruuui uiu- yuu ee uuy thing out of the ordinary?" "No." ."At any time?" . , "iever; ot my own Knowieage, i , never saw him do or say anything out of the ordinary. r. Putzel: w. ' " How Kong would" you be with Thaw in the morning?" 'About five minutes." 'Did you talk about his being at St. George rescuing virgins from the red dragon?" Hartridge objected to the ques tion, but Jerome insisted, and it was allowed. No," answered the witness, some what amazed at the question. Mrs. Emily S. Walker, a probation ary officer attached to the court of special sessions, follows. She had never seen Thaw do anything irra tional The Rev. John Armstrong Wade Episcopal chaplain of the Tombs, was next called. In answer to questions by Commissioner McClure, he said that he had observed Thaw since he was assigned to a cell in Murderers' Row and had talked with him almost every day. He, too, found the pris oner rational. Deputy Sheriff Sheridan was the next witness. He said that he had talked with Thaw, but never had very much conversation with him. By Commissioner McClure: "Did he ever say anything which you regarded as irrational?" "No, sir." Dr. Wade was then excused. Father Luke J. Erers, who is the Catholio chaplain of the Tombs, was questioned by Mr. McClure. Te the query, "Did Thaw appear rational or irrational?" he answered: He talked to me very sensibly about the independent Polish Catho lic church movement. I thought he was rational. He seems more ra tional now than ho did In the very. beginning." Hamilton on the Stand. When Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton took t the witness stand Jerome asked: When did you first see the de fendant?" "On June 27, 1906." ' "Did you examine him?" 1 did." '-State the result of your exami nation." Hartridge objected. By Commissioner McClure: .

It will in deed be wonderful if any rrnlt to speak of is left after such a cold wave, and when the season was' so far advanced. Fruit that -was not far enough advanced to be injured will be thrown - back considerably, and this will be especially true in fe gard to berries, " The entire state has certainly been in the grasp ot winter for the past few days for the temperature yester day, as stated above, got no higher than 42, and there were very, very few days during the past winter when it was as-cold. It seems that April and March reversed, for dur ing the month when wind was e pected it was like summer, but when April was ushered In came the re turn of the chill north wind.' 'in western Carolina the mountains are capped with snow, and instead of rain Sunday afternoon it was rain and snow from the piedmont section of the state west.

In the extreme north and also In the west the cold is no greater than in the southland.
