The Legislative Hate 'Thrown' Open. 'Among, the resolutions so reported favorably was that from the judiciary 'committee, which recommends that the general assembly at this special ses sion bo not limited to the purpose for which it was ppeciflcially called, and that it Ibei not .Confined to ihe two sub jects 'Indicated in the resolution In troduced by Senator Phurr the preced ing: day. The report was made by Sen ator Daniel of Halifax for the judi ciary committee. Confirmation ...of. that inclination was not-'Ions lacking, for as soon as the regular order had proceeded to that point there was another deluge of new bills Introduced, more than yesterday, hi fact, all of which are reported in this account of the day's proceedings.

It is a thing that shrivels up a woman's life like a flame. All of ibis showed in Mrs. Thaw's face and attitude.

Tatlmnnv nn1 Poin(s Scored By the Defence t (lie Trial in New York Today. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) New York, Jan. 23! When the, trial of Harry Thaw opened today physicians and nurses from London, Paris and Rome were present to add to the defence of insanity before the Madison Square tragedy by express ing opinions that Thaw was exceed ingly irrational while in Europe with Evelyn Nesbit. Among the witnesses are the doctor and two nurses who attended Thaw when he attempted to romnitt Ktiteido hv tnkfngr nnlflfln. Spectators in the court room are unable to account for the total ab sence of alienists so far. Littleton is not ready to call alienists. After he has proved that Harry Thaw was insane before the tragedy then he will bring in the alienists to prove : that he has been restored to sanity. There are two fights in the present trial one to convince the jury that Thaw was irresponsible at the time. other fight to keep uim out of an asylum for the criminal insane will be begun. Littleton is playing for the whole Btake the saving of Thaw without strings to his freedom. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw is so sure of her husband's acquittal that she is preparing an expensive waraTODe for a trip abroad. When the prison gates open for Thaw he and his wife will go abroad and, in the whirligig of: European gayety forget as far as possible the long nightmare they en dured in New York and for a long time conceal their Identity so as to have surcease from notoriety.

In her quest for new gowns, Mrs. Thaw has visited her tailor and modiste whenever her absence from court would permit. She has or dered not alone frocks to add to the simplicity of her blue dress, but other styles. While on one of these shopping tours she came face to face with Mrs. Stanford White. The young woman had just stepped from j the shop of Mme. Louise, in Fifth avenue, near 56th street, and was j crossing the sidewalk to her auto mobile, followed by a sales woman, when she bumped into the widow of ! the man her husband had killed. Mrs, White drew up quickly and Evelyn and she looked each other straight in the face. The little crowd attracted to Evelyn Thaw's automo bile say the meeting and was star tled when there came n call from the ! shop to the woman who was carry ing Mrs. Thaw's bundles: "You are wanted. Miss White," sounded a woman's voice. The coincidence in names startled both Mrs. Thaw and Miss WTuite as they moved aside and passed on.

She occu pied a room in the same house In which Mrs. Nesbit and her two chil dren lived when they first came to this city. At the firBt trial Mrs. Cain told all this and also related how she had befriended Evelyn after the occurrence at the Cumberland Hotel in October, 1903.
