Props Knocked Out From Under
Barnes, He Says, of the
Libel Trial.
Continued From Page 1.
"this witness he treated a* any or
dinary witness." It was apparent from
to-day's sharp encounters that the
Colonel had proved a tartar to Mr.
Ivins and was not being led into any
subtle trap by the chief counsel for
Mr. Harnes.
Nettled by the triumphant attitude
of the Colonel and his cohorts early
in the day, Mr. Ivins lost his e«iua-
nlffiity and demanded the Colonel be
treated as "an ordinary witness.”
The court suld he was and would
be.
The conflict was precipitated when
Ivins touched on the removal of In
surance Commissioner Payn in 1899.
"Was not Mr. Payn removed?"
asked Ivins.
"I would rather say he was got out
of office," said the Colonel.
"Did you not appoint hit succes
sor?"
Mr. Roosevelt said he did. "But had
I known all conditions then my atti
tude In 1898 and 1899 would have been
the same as It is now," snapped the
Colonsl.
Questioner Nettled.
"I did hot ask that," said Mr. Ivins.
"What do you mean by ‘conditions?'"
"I mean I woulji have made the

same fight then I am making now had
I known of th* union of the two ma
chines,” said the witness.
"I move that be stricken out,'
snapped Mr. Ivins, losing his temper
for the first time.
“You must let him finish his an-
swert." said Bowers.
“This witness must be treated as
any other witness/’ retorted Ivin*.
“He must not make political speeches
to the Jury/’
“Mr. Ivins,” sternly said Justice An
drews, “this witness will be treated as
any other witness.”
“I apologize, your honor,” said Ivins,
and proceeded.
The court ruled that any Improper
part of Roosevelt’s testimony could be
stricken out.
“I am asking a lot of these ques
tions Just to test your memory,” said
Mr. Ivins.
The quiz then turned on the Payn
matter, which brought forth the fire
works.
Mr. Roosevelt said he had enter
tained William Baines at his house,
but never met him alone. “I extended
my hospitality to Mr. Barnes In
Washington,” he said.
Held Barnes Above Average.
“And in Albany?”
“I believe so/’
“And to Mrs. Barnes?”
“And to Mrs. Barnes,” said the
CdtBnel, rppeatlng the question. “But
I never held a meeting with him
alone.”
Mr. Roosevelt was asked why, if he
thought Mr. Barnes corrupt, he en
tertained him, advised with him and
consulted him.
“Because, Mr. Ivins ” started the
Colonel.
“I insist this witness must answer
my questions ‘yes’ or ‘no’ when pos
sible,” shouted Mr. Ivins.
“He can not answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to
that,” said Bowers.
“I want to tell the Jury,” said Roose
velt.
“Yes, you are telling the Jury a lot
of things,” retorted Ivins.
The court instructed Roosevelt to
answer “yes” or “no" when possible,
then amplify his answers. /
The question was then repeated.
“I advised with Mr. Barnes,” said
the Colonel, “because I found Barnes
above the average of ordinary politi
cal leaders.”
T thought his morality at least
above the ordinary political and busi
ness morality and believed he had it
In him to become a valuable leader in
the State. I hoped to eliminate the
bad In Mr. Barnes and develop the
good.”
Barnes a Jakyl-Hyde.
“Why did you want to reform Mr.
Barnes?’’
“I found him a Dr. Jekyl and Mr.
Hyde,” replied the Cblonel. “I
wanted to save Dr. Jekyl and kill Mr.
Hyjle. Mr. Barnes was only one of
hundreds of political men through
out the country in whom I was in
terested trying to bring out the most
there was in them—trying to make
them useful citizens.”
“When did Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde
separate?” asked Ivins. “When did It
become necessary to sever the liga
ment uniting these Barnes Siamese
twins ? w
“I’d not say it was a severing of the
ligamefit,” said the Colonel laughing,
“but rather a case of one absorbing
the ether—Dr. Jekyl being swallowed
up by Mr. Hyde.”
Mr. Roosevelt admitted he twice
appointed Barnes to office and said he
entirely abandoned his missionary
work in 1911.
Mr. Ivins read from the autobio
graphy that any phrases such as “in
visible government,” “Invisible em
pire,” etc.
“Is it not a fact,” said Mr. Ivins,
“that you have used in your testiqiony
to-day exaet phrases from your auto
biography?”
“I do not remember.”
Phrases Not Formulas.
“You mean you do not remember
what you have said this moaning?"
“I mean I do not remember my
phraseology,” said Mr. Roosevelt.
“Please put your questions so I can
answer them, Mr. Ivins.”
“I am asking you—if I can put it
so you cap answer it intelligently—
If you have not to-day phrased your
answers in the language of your au
tobiography?” said Mr. Ivins. “Is it
not a fact that you used certain
phrases until they became formulas?”
“No.”
"Why not?” asked Ivins.
“A formula is something you do
not believe and repeat by rote,” said
the colonel. “These repeated phrases
of mine were not formulas bu things
I believe in absolutely and translate
Into action whenever I have oppor-
tunity. 1 ’
“Do you believe two and two make
four?” asked Mr. Ivins.
“I do.”
“Is that not a formula?” retorted
Mr. Ivins.
“I do not know,” Roosevelt answer
ed, with a grin.
Colonel Smiling at Start.
Colonel Roqsevelt was recalled to
the stand for further crops-examina-
tion when court reconvened. He was
smiling as he took his seat, but dt$
not glance in the direction of Mr.
Barnes.
The first questions put to the Colo
nel by Mr. Ivin3 dealt with the Al
bany Legislature while Roosevelt was
Governor.
“Who were the leaders in Albany
then?” asked Mr. Ivins.
“I do not know," said the Colonel.
"Who was the chairman of the Fi
nance Committee and the Ways and
Means Committee?”
"I remember Mr. Higgins (once
Governor) was chairman of the Fi
nance Committee.*'
“Who was the chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee?”
“I don’t remember.”
“Shall I consult the records?” asked
Ivins.
“1 do not need my memory re
freshed,” said the Colonel with a
smile.
"Do you not remember that Mr.
Allds was that chairman?”
“No.”
“Did you veto rny appropriation
bills prepared by these committees?”
Mr. Roosevelt did not remember,
but paid the records would show.
“Who was the Democratic leader in
the State at that time?” asked Mr.
Ivins.
Goes Into Autobiography.
“The Democratic leadership was
held in commission. Mr. David B.
HiU was the up-State leader, with
Richard Croker as leader in New
York CJily, Croker’s power rapidly
growing at the expense of Hill,” an
swered the Colonel.
“What was the standing of Mr.
Hill?"
“He was not so influential as Mr.
Platt and Mr. Odell,” said Mr. Roose
velt. f
Mr. Ifvins then produced the auto
biography written by Colonel Roose
velt In 1919, and asked the Colonel
about certain references to Senator
Platt, B. B. Odell, D. B. Hill, Richard
Croker and William Barnes.
“I made no reference to Mr.
Barnes,” was the answer.
“Then your opinion of Mr. Barnes
was not the same in 1913 as when
you wrote the statement In 1914 of
which we complain?” asked Ivins.
“It was,” said the witness, “but I
purposely refrained from saying any
thing malicious about Mr. Barnes. I
was not writing my autobiography to
appeal to the voters of New York
State—
“I do not want that,” interposed
Mr. Ivins.
“Let him finish his answer,” said
Mr. Bowers.
"You asked the question,” said Jus
tice Andrews.
“He answered it,” said Ivins.
Court Lets Him Finish.
“I did not finish my answer,” de
clared the Colonel.
“Go ahead,” paid the court.
“If my autobiography had been
written as a political dooument I
might have mentioned Mr. Barnes,”
said the Colonel, facing the Jury and
driving home each word. “But my
autobiography was written as a lit
erary work and was not an appeal to
the voters of New York. Therefore, I
refrained purposely from attacking
Mr. Barnes ”
The interrogation then Jumped to
Mr. Roosevelt’s attack on “invisible
government” mentioned In his autQr
biography. Parts of the autobiogra
phy were read.
“Do you remember,” rsked Ivins,
"leaving the autobiography for a
while, when Charles F. Murphy was
the nominal Democratic leader in New
York?^ Was he a leade.r at all before
he became head of Tammany?”
“I would not say so, but I do not
remember much about Mr. Murphy
before that. I think Mr. Murphy had
to do battle with Mr. McCarren, of
Brooklyn, before ho could become
Democratic boss. There was also a
battle with William J. Connors, of
Buffalo, but I can not remember
which side he was on.”
Colonel Happy Man.
Colonel Ropsevelt was the hap
piest man In Syracuse to-day.
He (old his friends that his case
had been clinched and that the props
had been knocked out from under the
complaint of Barnes.
The Cplonel was particularly Jubi
lant over the outepme o,f the duel of
witness ana counsel in which he had
engaged Thursday with William M.
Ivins,’chief counsel for the plaintiff.
"Mr. Ivins is the best friend I have
in the world,” said the Colonel to one
of his lawyers. When the remark
was repeated to Mr. Ivins he made no
cbVnment, unless a grunt of scorn
could be taken for comment.
Colonel Roosevelt has grinned like
a happy boy ever since his testimony
of yesterday. Whatever may be
the opinion of the public, the Colonel
is satisfied he has scored heavily
against the man he accused as a cor
rupt boss—that he has “drawn first
blood.”
Grateful to Ivins.
His remark about Ivins being his
fpiend meant that he thanked the op
posing lawyer for laying the platform
that allowed the ex-President to set
forth his views from the stand.
The throng that flocked to the
Onondaga courthouse to-day hours
before they could get in showed that
the Colonel is the hero of the town.
The man who could knock the war
from the front page ot every news
paper, regardless of its politics, has
won the admiration of the people
here.
"Roosevelt adherents to-day de
clared lie had “come back” and that
Williani Barnes, the Colonel’s accuser
in this sensational lawsuit, has done
for* Mr.* Roosevelt "what he never
could have done for himself.
On the other hand, Mr. Barnes and
his advisers appear confident the casa
is Just begun, they say.
“We are not through yet,” Mr.
Ivins said, "and it is not to be said
that Mr. Roosevelt has answered on
the tax proposition or for his close
association with Senator Platt, B. B.
Odell and the rest of that crowd.”
Politicians on Hand.
When the trial was resumed it was
hoped by both gldes that the Colonel’s
cross-examination would be finished
to-day. If it i*. there will be no ses
sion of the court tO-morrow and the
lawyers In the case will be the guests
of Judge W. S. Andrews on his farm
for the week-end.
This may not be a political trial, as
Mr. Ivins declared, and there has
been no important politics in the tes
timony. but the up-State politician
who can get to Syracuse is here and
nothing but politics is talked in the
courthouse corridors and the lobbies
of the hotels.
The tremendous'interest of the peo
ple and the near riots for admission
to the courtroom before the session
opened indicated this would be an
other “Roosevelt day”—with the gal
lery, if tiot with the Jury.

NEW YORK, April 23.—Harry K.
Thaw has won his .long fight -for a
saqlty trial. Justice Hendrick, of the
Supreme Court, to-day handed down
a decision granting the slayer of
Stanford White a hearing to deter
mine whether he is sane or insane.
The trial of Thaw’s sanity will be
conducted before a Jury, Justice Hen
drick deciding that it was within his
power to grant this request.
Thaw took his victory calmly, as lie
has taken previous defeats, smiling
when the court handed down the de
cision, which was a long one, going
fully into the merits of the case.
Thaw was heavily guarded whilft in
court and while on his way there be
cause of reports that efforts would be
made to rescue him from the authori
ties if the decision were against him.
Thaw Chuckles at Sheriff.
Thaw chuckled when he learned of
the Sheriff’s precautions. His attor
ney, John B. Stapchfield, character
ized tjie report that an effort would
be made to rescue Thaw as "-silly” and
“bunk.”
Three policemen were also on guard
in the courtroom, on the lookout fov
any suspicious characters. They re
mained near Thaw while Justice Hen
drick was reading his decision.
The decision was on a writ of ha
beas corpus sworn out by Attorney
Stanchfield several weeks ago.
“This decision will be fine news for
my mother,” said Thaw. He declined
to. discuss whether he could satisfy
the Jury that he was sane, smilingly
saying that that was for the Jury to
decide.
By agreement of counsel Justice
Hendrick set the date for the trial for
may 17- The jury will be drawn from
the regular panel.
Thousands Cheer Him.
As Thaw left the courtroom to re
turn to his cell in the Tombs he was
compelled to shake hands with more
than 2,000 persons who crowded about
tq congratulate him. The turn given
the case by his victory caused his
guards to drop any idea that he might
attempt to escape and they permitted
the spectators to crowd about him.
When Judge Hendrick asked Attor
ney Stanch field how long ha thought
the trial would take, the lawyer re
plied :
“Th^re are many witnesses to be
presented from all parts of the coun
try While I can’t say definitely, I
think the trial will take no more than
a week.”
Thaw’s return to the Tombs was in
marked contrast with former jour
neys to that prison. He was cheered
by hundreds who had heard the news
that he was to be given a chance for
freedom. Even the newsboys on Cen
ter street shouted their congratula
tions as Thaw walked toward the
prison

Savannah Car
Owners To
Be Good
Savannah has decided to be good. Just
what happened in Savannah to bring
about the regeneration is still some
thing of a mystery in these parts, but
the fact remains that Phil Cook, Secre
tary of State, was surprised to find in
his mail Thursday and Firday checks
and money orders for more than $1,000
from Savannah citizens who suddenly
decided that they wanted to purchase
1915 automobile license tags.
Savannah, with Macon and Americus,
has been recalcitrant and stubborn con
cerning the automobile license law,
many automobile owners having openly
defied the State's authority to collect.
The licenses were due March 1, but
there was little revenue from the harbor
city until Secertary Cook came Friday
into the sudden windfall.
One letter in a way explains the act
ivity by announcing that the Chatham
County Sheriff posted an order that au
tomobile operators without license tags
would be arrested after May 1.
But Macon and Americus. said the
Secretary of State Friday, have yet to
see the light.
