“I Will be Aequitted.”
Howard N'eeblt, brother of Evelyn
N'esblt Thaw, prepared eurly to go to
to. trial. Before leaving hi. hotel h#
said:
•| want lo deny absolutely that my
mother or my atep-father und I have

After Thaw had breakfast nnd was

of the squad.
Each nf th. men called his family up
on the telephone and had a long con

were not permitted to Bay a word

with the Countess of Yarmouth, spent
vesterday at the Hotel Lorraine be
cause of a severe cold which both con
tracted the day previous. The young
prisoner was told that the coodltlon uf
both had Improved greatly and he ap
peared to be much rellevod.
Mre. Thaw had said she wanted to
he at the trial of her son to strengthen
him If poeelble In hla ordeal.
Their Letters Ara Opened.
Several Inches of enow and a biting
wind Aid little effect on the curious.
The'crowds about the criminal courts
building, and the Tombs were aa great
a. on the Aret day of the trial.
The Ave Jurors were somewhat as
tounded today when they received
thelnrmll. opened, One of the num
ber was even disturbed when Captain
Lynch, In charge of the guard, told
him two letter* had been returned to
the senders becauae they bore some
reference to the case.
The captain explained that there wa#
nothing particularly objectionable In
the missive, but he had bsen Instructed
In Judge Fltxgerald not to let any
thing pas. If Thaw's name was even
mentioned. * -
He Had Prejudices.
The And talesman called today was
Waller M. Jackson, a real estate brok
er. lie said he was married. Mr. Je
rome put the usual questions as «o
prejudice against capital punishment
and willingness to take the law from
the court to which satisfactory an
swers were made.

Htonford White.
According to Mr*. Holman, Thaw
had a mania for tearing hi* wife's
clothing both before and after the
marriage of the young couple. In
Parla and New York he la aald to have

caalona, the attack taking place In the
presence of other pereone.

The first saloon license was granted doing away with this objection, and
by the new council Thursday, when the

he did not have sufficient doors and
windows to assure police protection.

whose sole claim for distinction or
even existence la It* distance In letter*
from beginning to end.
Alderman Key. While some of his
••brethren" weren’t looking, slipped up
on the boys at the council meeting
Thursday, and before they knew what
had happened, a real, live thing ,had
been referred to thl* heretofore Siberia
for the not-partlcularly-good-frlenda
of the mayor.
The routine business of council, the
reading and referring of petitions and
ordinances, was being transacted, and.
as a consequence, the council mem
bers were lounging around, smoking
and talking and doing almost every
thing but listening.
In the course of events the clerk
canm to an ordinance introduced by
Alderman Key--to make it prohibitory
for the street car company to charge
more than one cent fare when a per
son Is not provided with a reasonable
seat. The ordinance was read.
**I move," said Alderman Key. "that
this be referred to the committee on
manufactures, statistics, freight rates
and transportation."
There being no one listening, there
were no objections, and U was so re
ferred.
Aldermnn Key Is a member of this
committee, and he Is, therefore, given
an opportunity to see that hla ordi
nance Is not lost In any shuffle, and
with a "cold" deck.
