Ipeclal to Ths Georgian.
Birmingham, Ala., July 20.—“Harry
Kendall Thaw owes his present pre
dlcament to a useless, misguided life.
With something like 2100,000 a year to
upend, he has done nothing but seek a
good time." |
Thus spoke William Travera Jerome,
the district attorney of New York, who
arrived here at 0:10 o'clock this morn
Ing. He was accompanied by Francla
P. Gnrvan and A. C. Vandiver, two of
his assistants.
“There Is no distinction In a felonl
ous homicide," said Mr. Jerome, In dis
cussing the Thaw-White murder case.
"You doubtless have frequent negro
murder rases that are traced to Jeal
ousy. It is the same knld of Jealousy
that burned In Thaw's breast the night
he Stepped up behind Stanford White
In Madison Garden and sent a bullet
ploughing, through his heart. The law
has the same punishment for a rich
murderer that Is provided for the most
vicious negro criminal."
The Jerome party was met at the
train by a local committee and driven
over the Birmingham district Mr. Je
rome will be the chief speaker at
banquet In his honor at the Country
Club tonight.

hint to he Insane.
Kx-Judge Olcott, with, Terrance J.

appeared before Justice MacLean In
the supreme court today and secured
an adjournment of the motion to com
pel him to give up these documents In
spite of the opposition of Clifford Har-
Dsclars Thaw Is Insane.
It became known today that Mrs.
William Thatv has directed Judge Ol
cott to Ignore Hartrldge altogether, and
alto to disregard completely the wishes
of her son, and to apply for the ap
pointment of a commission In lunacy
to examine him as to hla santlty, armed
with the allehista’ reports, which pi
bounce Thaw mentally unbalanced

fasily refused to see her son In the

position to her wishes In regard to
conduct of the case.
Evelyn Nesblt Thaw called at the
Tombs today and saw her husband, but
for only ten minutes. Lawyer Har-
trldge wns there when ahe arrived and
went to Thaw’s cell with her. After-
* Hr d the wife drove to Hartrldge'a of-
v. at No. 149 Broadway,' and con'
tinned the dictation of her long atatS'
mint begun yesterday.
Won’t Give Monty.
It was said today that Harry Thaw's
mother had refused to give him any
money since he opppaed her wishes ao
fleu eiy when ahe saw him last. It was
J«!d that ahe had cut off, at least
temporarily, the Income of 220,000 a
Year, which ahe allowed him. In spite
of the fact that, by bla father's will, hs
»as to recslve only 22,(00 a year.
A lawyer, retained in the Thaw cate,
made this surprising statement today:
An agreement has been made and
nn ", exist! between the district attor-
O'l's office and former Judge William
Olcott, to have Harry K. Thaw exam

BUCKET SHOP BILL
LI ON THE TABLE
AS TACTICAL MOVE
The frlenda of the Boykin anti-fu
tures blit held an Informal conference
Friday morning and agreed that In
view of the ellm attendance of mem
bers In the house. It would be better
to table the bill, rather than Jeopar
dise Its passage by letting It go to a
vote.
Accorlngly, when the VmJ, was
reached In Its regular order libber the
Mad of unfinished business, Mr.
Wright, of Floyd, was recognised by
Speaker Slaton, who prefaced his mo
tion to table the bill with the state
ment that the roll call disclosed the
fact that there were 60 members ab
sent. “With a full house," said Mr.
Wright, “there could be no doubt but
that the bill would pass."
Anticipating the motion to table, Mr.
Anderson, of Chatham, Inquired of Mv.
Wright If It would not be better for
him to discuss the question, and that
perhaps later on there might be such
an Increased attendance that a vote
could be had on the measure.
This did not meet the views qf Mr.
Wright, who contended that as the
session progressed the house would.
In all probability, be more thinned out
than now, and that a vote on the
measure could scarcely be reached till
the afternoon session, when ihere
would be but a small margin above a
quorum of the members.
This measure. In his opinion, was
one of transcendent Importance to the
state, and he thought the passage of
thrs measure of more Importance than
all other legislation this house couid
enact.
If the bill now went to Its passage,
falling to get the requisite 18 votes,
would be reconsidered, go to the heel
of the calendar, and never would be
considered.
He, therefore, moved to table the
bill, which was assented to by an over
whelming viva voce vote.

THINK JUDGE ORMOND

By P. ate Leased With.
New York, July 20.—The mystery
surrounding the disappearance ot
Judge Walter E. Ormond, of Atlanta,
who disappeared from the Ravannah
liner Kansas City at sea Wednesday
mominfe, has not been solved.
The steamship officials are not dis
posed to discuss Mr, Ormond’s disap
pearance; Ctracer* of i*,e ivuneae yuy,
when asked as to the reason why the
tragedy was not reported when the
vessel reached quarantine, eay that
their duty was to report It to the
higher officials of the company before
saying anything to anybody else. They
express no doubt that Ormond acci
dentally fell overboard while doalpg too
close to the rail.
One of the officers said: "If, as Mr.
Ormond’s friends say, he was fond of
sitting on the rail It would have taken
a very little lurch of the ship to have
sent him overboard, and If the accident
occurred early In the morning there was
little chance for the man's cries to
have attracted any attention."
