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.

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.

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.

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.
