THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
SATt'BDAY, MABC1I a. UOT.
TO DOUBLE TRACK
Arrangement With Sea
board Will Make it
Necessary.
if the Seaboard Air Lina and tha
Southern railway ogrea on trmfllc or
knge arrangements whereby the
St* board will uaa the ralla of the
.Ulinta-Maeo* division In connecting
t« i of Its moat Important divisions, It
practically certain-that the SouthsVn
u hi double-track between, these two
titles.
Dltlclala of tba Southern claim now
iliitt no other division of the Southern
,v.Mcm carries more trains, freight and
passenger, than the M miles between
Atlanta and Macon. On this division
traffic per mile la heavier with local
ami through business than any other
division.
For this reason It ia hardly thought
passible for the Southern, to care for
Ilir xreat Increase a traffic or trackage
arrangement with the Seaboard would
mtall »n a single track. The Central
if Georgia between Atlanta and Macon
is congested even more than the South
ern
The fact that It la absolutely to the
interest of the Southern to make euch
an arrangement In that It safeguards
Its local business greatly increases the
earning capacity and value of this dl-
v latnn, and at the same time precludes
the probability of the Sedboard building
another line, justifies the belief that an
ear^v agreement will be reached.

HMD JURY
Former Georgia Man Given
Opportunity to Ex
plain.
New York, March SI.—Thaw's do
tense to the Insanity proceedings In
etliuled by Jerome wero Sled with Jus
tire Kltsgcrald thla afternoon. It con
lalna affidavits by his attorneys. Del-
mas, McPtke and Gleason and Alien-
Isle Evans', Wagner. Jelllffe, Hammond
and .Shields and a large number of
notes written by Thaw directing the
continuance of hla cane.
All the attorneys and alienists who
made affidavits assert tt as their opin
ion that Thaw Is sane today.
Many Letters and Notes.
There are eighteen letters and notea
from Thirty to hla lawyers. There are
eight notes written In the court room
by Thaw, making suggestions to his
attorneys. All these documents were
written in a more coherent form than
any of Thaw's missives thus far fig
uring In the case.
Dr. George Franklin Shield's affi
davit declared that he examined Thaw
only yesterday and he waa fully corn-
patent to advise counsel. A clerk from
Delmaa' offleo tiled the affidavits.
Une reason advanced for not want-
g a commission la that It la firmly
tlleved the commission must find
Thaw sana and this might Influence
their opinion as to hla sanity on June
29, 1906, when he killed White.
Oalmaa’ Own Affidavit.
The first affidavit la that of Dolmas,
who says he bad frequent Interviews
In court, In the Tombs and ha<l many
notes and letters from Thaw. In con
clusion he says:
Harry Thaw Is and has bean capa
ble of understanding tbs nature and
objects of the proceedings, of compre
hending reference to such proceedings
and conducting hla defense In a ration
al manner."
Attorney Gleason swears ha has
known Thaw many years, and during
the trial Thaw has consulted with him
frequently In a sane and Intalllgent
manner. Olsason attacks the testi
mony of Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton,
who said he believes Thaw Incapabls
of conducting hla own defense.
Followed Thaw’s Advice.
McPIke recites that ha had experi-
/ncV both In prosecuting and dsfend-
Ing persona accused of murder, and
feels competent to pass on thefr san
ity.
McPIke aaye: "I know that In many
Important moves on his behalf during
hla trial hla advice has been sought by
hla counsel."
Feared for Wife’s Health.
Thaw's love and apprehension for hla
wife' a well being was emphatlcally
demonstrated by tha contents of some
of the fifteen notes written by him
which were embraced In Mr. Delmqs'
affidavit.
These notes, all of which were penneJ
by Thaw during the trial, an rationally
worded documents. Upon them hi
lawyere confidently based their expec
tations of being able to bring Justice
Fltsgeratd to their wqy ot thinking,
and Induce him to not name lunacy
commission.
Ha Directs Hit Case.
In one letter Thaw writes:
"My wife's strength ts ebbing. She
can not recuperate after cross-exami
nation. It would he unfortunate If she
broke down and her testimony was
stricken out. I hope that tn some way
you can hava tha will, codicil and Dr.
Patton's testimony In Monday, then
Evelyn can go on at ones. Har con
dition of nervouanoaa and .sadness
grave. Can not Dr. Evans be kept
back?"
In several letters Thaw eompllmenta
Delmaa for hla manner of conducting
the case. ,
Thaw was In a particularly happy
frame of mind today, according to tho
warden of tho Tombs prison. Uo arson
earlier than usual groomed himself
carefully and ate a hearty breakfast.
He busied himself after dark last njght
preparing a statement which he sent lo
Clifford W. Hartridge.
Haaring Postponed.
With this mass of answering docu
ments—all lending to refute tho. claim
ot the district attorney that Thaw la
Insane—In the hands of tha court and
the dletrlct attorney today, further ac
tion In the case waa postponed until
Monday.
But the dletrlct attorney was not
Idle. He aupplemented hla affidavits
declaring Thaw Insane with a number
ot letters which he had not brought
forward during tho trial Theee letters
also were In Thaw'* handwriting, and
a number ot them were written since
the trial began. They were written
from the Tombe cell to J. Donnieon
Lyon. Thaw's Pittsburg banker. Those
of them which have been published
show a certain Incoherence.
