MR. DELMAS
[CONCLUDES HIS
FERVID PLEA
Continued From Page One.
she told him her story, how he walked
the floor, biting his nails and sobbing.
He also read that portion of her testi-
mony in which she said she had refused
Thaw's offer of marriage because she
loved him so much that she would not
drag him down.
"Sublime Renunciation."
" Sublime renunciation,' says the
sneering District Attorney in an effort
to make you believe that this story is
not true, that it is impossible," went on
Mr. Delinas. "But I shall prove to you
that it is true. 1 shall prove to you be-
yond the slightest doubt that she did
refuse him and refused him for that
reason alone.
"Man It may be has not that great
power of renunciation, but in the gen-
tler breast of a woman do we find that
great gift of God, and in the breast of
this little girl existed this great strength
that enabled her to put aside her one
love when she knew it was for the good
of one she loved."
Arguing along this line to further dem-
onstrate Evelyn's "sublime reunciation,"
Mr. Delmas referred to and raid abstracts
from the letter which Thaw wrote to
Attorney Longfellow In .September, 1903
In this letter Thaw wrote that he had
proposed marriage to Evelyn, but she
had refused point blank because, she
said, "it. would shut me out from my rel-
atives."
"The genuineness of this letter," Attor-
ney Delmas argued, "cannot be denied.
What, then did it mean when Thaw wrote
to Mr. Longfellow that Evelyn would not
marry him?
"Is it not true that she had refused?
Evelyn's Rejection of Thaw.
"Thaw wrote that she thought first and
the rejected the offer. Yes, she thought.
She looked on the man she loved, she
looked on her own past and she did not
want to bring reproach on them who
would have married her.
"Down in her noble heart she said,
'Harry, I love you, and because I love
you I do not want to tie my unfortunate
existence to yours so that people would j ...^ ...
point the finger of scorn at you. I want the highest of human laws and must ap-
to leave you free, and the moment you I peal to the mercy of God if mercy there
be for him anywhere in the universe.
"That is tho species of insanity which
has been recognized by the courts In the
cases of—"
District Attorney Interrupts.
Mr. Garvan was on his feet with an
objection, saying that the argument was
taking too wide a range.
"You understand," said Justice Fitz-
gerald to Mr. Delmas. The latter waved
his hand and turned again to the Jury.
"Remember, gentlemen, the law Is a
human law. I violate no law when I ask
you to take the oldest of all laws—the
Golden Law—the law that Is at the
foundation of all laws. Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you.'
"Do not send this young man to death
for what he did.
"I now, with all solemnity, leave in
your hands the fate of Harry Kendall
Thaw."
Thaw tonight seemed to be in the best
of spirits and said he felt his case was
won. He seemed to have no dread of tho
assault of the District Attorney tomor-
row. There was a report today that Mr.
Jf-rome was 111, but he appeared at his
office during the afternoon and said he
had been busy for two days preparing
his argument.
Instrument of Providence, wijo will say
he was mistaken?"
Mr. Delmas discussed but briefly the
testimony of expert witnesses, declaring
that whatever weight may attach t>
their utterances was on the side of the
defendant. Ho declared the burden >f
proof as to Thaw's sanity at the time
of the homicide rested with the prose-
| eution, which had failed to make out its
case.
Reasonable Doubt.
"Refore you send this young man to
his doom," Mr. Delmas continued, "you
must be satisfied of his guilt beyond
every reasonable doubt.
"What is a reasonable doubt? The term
seems to define itself in its own words.
A reasonable doubt is a doubt which any
reasonable man may have. You are all
reasonaole men, and wherever you doubt,
you can say that that is a reasonable
doubt, the benefit of which the law says
you must give to the defendant. A great
English Judge once said that it was bet-
ter that ninety-nine guilty men should
escape than that ono innocent man should
be punished. If there Is one chance in
a hundred that this defendant was of
such unsound mind as not to know the
nature of his act, then ycu must give
him the benefit of that doubt. If we con-
tend that *nls defendant was insane It is
for the District Attorney to prove that
he was nsane. He must establish that
the defendant was sane at the time of
the enactment of the tragedy; that he
was in full possession of his reason and
his mental faculties.
"I ask you In the name of the law
which I Invoke; I ask you in the name
of humanity; 1 ask you in the name of
religion to resolve whatever doubt you
may have in favor of this defendant.
The District Attorney will make light
of the experts because they have not
defined the species of insanity from
which they say Thaw is suffering. Ft
Is a species of Insanity which has been
recognized »n every State of this Union—
from Canada to Moxlco, from the Atlan-
tic to the Pacific.
Dementia Americana.
"Ah, gentlemen," said Delmas dracatic-
aily turning to the alienists who testi-
fied for he prosecution, "If you desire
a' name for this species of Insanity let
me suggest it—call It dementia Ameri-
cana.
"That is the species of insanitv which
makes every American man believe his
home to be sacred; that is the species of
insanity which makes him believe the
honor of his daughter is sacred; that .s
the species of Insanity which makes him
believe the honor of his wife i« sacred;
that is the rpecies of insanity which
makes him believe that whosoever In-
vades his home, that whosoever stains
the virtue of his threshhold has violated

Rivers was sitting at his desk, with an
unfinished page of manuscript before
him, deeply absorbed in thought.
Brooks eniered the room.
"What's the matter, old chap?" asked
Brooks.
Rivers looked up with a heavy sigh.
"1 am struggling with a conundrum,"
he said.
"Let s nave it."
"It lan't f nished yet."
"How far have you got?"
"All I've written Is the answer: "Ono

"That's easy. All you need is some-
thing Scotch, Isn't it?"

bing his hat. "1 believe you're right.
Thanks, dear boy! I'll make it a hoc

"Yes, she thought. The sneer of the
District Attorney is unjustified. The lit-
tle girl did saeriflce herself, did rise to
the height of sublime renunciation."
Thaw's Mother.
Mr. Delmas here read from Mrs. Wil-
liam Thaw's testimony and went on:
"Did that venerable, gray haired mother
come here to perjure herself? Did she
invent this story which she says her son
told her? Or did he tell an untruth when
he confided to his loved mother and told
her that he loved this girl and wanted
to devote his life to her? And, all this
time that little girl was going along using
the talents God had given her to make a
living for herself, refusing to marry the
wealthy man who loved her and whom
she loved because she thought It was for
the best for him. Oh, sublime abnega-
tion."
Mr. Delmas declared that the story
about Thaw's alleged wrong doing was
invented to protect White from the wrath
ho felt was to come.
"When Harry Thaw had convinced
Kvelyn that these stories were not true
hope began to dawn again in his heart.
The barriers which had been set up be-
tween these two young people were fall-
ing into ruin one by one.
"The two hearts that God had intended
should be one were approaching nearer
and nearer until that blessed night of
December 24, 1903. It was a night which
might have meant a new chapter to the
misery of this child, but fate decreed
otherwise?—Stanford White, in a room in
the lofty tower he had built, had spread
a banquet in honor of the birthday of
his child victim. It was his hope amid
the surroundings of grandeur and treas-
ures of art he had gathered into his
apartments, to lure the girl back once
again and to resume the awful work he
had done.
From Jaws of Death.
'But that night the brave man who
had devoted his life to the interests of
this girl, snatched her from the Jaws of
death, snatched her from the snares of
disgrace, snatched her from the man who
had been a curse to her and a curse to
himself, snatched her from the old
leecher who saw in her but a toy to
gratify a moment's lust and then be cast
aside to go her way down the path of a
fallen woman."
In support of his contention that Thaw
took a sincere interest in the welfare of
the girl whom he believed to have been
wronged by Stanford White, Mr. Delmas
produced the codicil in which Thaw
set aside thousands of dollars, "to vin-
dicate and redeem and rescue from a life
of infamy, the vicious victims of Stan-
ford White."
Thaw's Codicil.
Waving the document dramatically be-
fore the jury, Mr. Delmas pictured the
d?afting of It on the very night when
Thaw found all his hopes realized in the
ceremony which made Evelyn his wife.
On that same night, Mr. Delmas argued,
Thaw's thoughts drifted back to the
time when his wife was wronged by
Stanford White and thinking of the other
girls ruined and degraded by the same
person, he sat down and handed the codi-
cil to the witness. With much emotion
Mr. Delmas referred to the fate of tho
little "Pie girl" and vehemently con-
tinued: "And Stanford White thought
he would play with this child, now the
wife of Mr. Thaw, in the same inhuman
mariner and in the end cast her off like
a. dirty rag to float her way down life's
sewers into a pauper's grave. These
were the thoughts that came over him
and never left him. We admire the
chivalry of the knights of the middle
ages who went about redressing wrong3
and rescuing maidens in distress. Why
should we withhold our sympathy from
this brave man who was so anxious to
take a part in the rescue of young girls
In this city?"
Drairiatic Incident.
With dramatic emphasis Mr. Delmas
cried out that when Thaw beheld Stan-
ford White on the Madison Square Roof
Garden the story of his wife's wrongs
overcame him. He pictured In an in-
stant, as a dying man may picture his
past life, all that Stanford White had
clone.
"He saw that man as he had been,
he saw him as he became a friend of
that poverty-stricken family, saw him
laying plans to ingratiate himself in that
family; saw him posing as the protector
and friend of that beautiful child, whos#
beauty had attracted him; saw him pay-
ing money to the mother to leave the
city while he carried out his fiendish
plans; saw him lure that child to his
vile den; saw him ply her with wine and
saw him administer the fatal drug; saw
him dishonor the child; saw him kneel-
ing at her feet and kissing the hem of
her garment and telling her all women
were bad. He saw her as he himself
had seen her 111 at school; he saw him-
self carrying her in his arms as a moth-
er bears her child.
Story of Evelyn's Shame.
"He heard again the terrible story rs
she told It to him in Paris; he heard
again his proposals of hopelesw love:
he saw himself walking the floor and
exclaiming, 'Oh, God! Oh, God!' He saw
this child about to fall again into the
hands of the m»n from whom he had
rescued her; he saw her second rescue;
he paw himself leading her to the al-
tar: he saw his months of hapniness
with her; he heard the words 'I will got
her back again.' He saw and ho heard
all this and he .struck, struck as does
the tigress in the protection of her
home: struck for the home; struck for
American womanhood: struck for hu-
manity. and this man fell.

THEATER AND THE BEATS.
Many Schemes Tried by Those Who'd
"See the Show" Without Paying.
The number of people who try to beat
their way into theaters Is remarkable.
Every known pretext, and a few that are
new and unknown, as yet, are used as
excuses to get tickets. The fake news-
paper man—who Is almost Invariably
spotted by the press representative; the
alleged aotor who flashes a card of some
unknown company; the "correspondent '
of some out of town paper who has lost
his credentials; alleged playwrights, de-
tectives looking for a "party" supposed
to be in the audience; forged letters and
a thousand and one other devices are
thrust at the managers. But for pure,
unadulterated nerve commend mo to the
man who a few days ago tried to bluff
the treasurer Into giving him two seats
on the grounds that he had known me at
my summer home In the Thousand Is-
lands and that 1 had extended a general
invitation to him to visit the show at any
timo. Naturally the treasurer refused to
take a stranger's word under such cir-
cumstances and the man went away in
disgust. Next day he was back again.
This time I happened to be in the box
office, but out of sight.
"Did you speak to Mr. Weber about
me?" he asked, mentioning his name.
The treasurer said he had, but that Mr.
Weber had no recollection of any such
person.
"There must be some mistake," per-
sisted the man. "Mr. Weber knows me
all right. Just give me a couple of seats
and tell him they are for me. He'll say
it's all right."
Then 1 decided to take a hand in the
game. I moved over to the window and
said: "Did you say you knew Mr. Weber
up in the Thousand Islands?"
"Sure," he said blandly. "We often
went fishing together. He and I were
neighbors."
"Then you would know Mr. Weber
again if you saw him?"
"Know him? Why, didn't I tell you we
were intimate friends? Of course I'd
know him. We were chums."
That was too much for me and I
opened up on him. What I said will not
bear repeating, but he went out In great
haste and with a rather red face.—Joseph
Weber In the April Bohemian.

WAY IT'S DONE IN WYOMING.
A State Wherein Campaigning for
Votes Means Much.
When campaign timo comes round In
such a State as Wyoming, the candi-
date's task is something like that of a
scout making a forced) march through
an unchartered country. The speech of
tomorrow may be an all night ride and
more from that of today; sometimes he
can catch a Pullman, more often he must
trek 'cross country—in the saddle per-
haps, or catching a few hours' uneasy
slumber as the stage jolts along the
trail.
In Wyoming every political gathering
ends in a dance, and after the speech-
making, the Congressmen-to-be must
foot It into the small hours with the
wives and daughters—for the women vocs
in Wyoming and dancing counts. It
takes an up-and-doing man, lively and
hard as nails, successfully to run for
Congress in ► ucli a neighborhood and the
man who wins means something more to
folks than ji st a name. They've seen
him, fed him, brushed the alkali dust
from his clothes, given him a bed, drunk
with him, eaten with him, danced with
him.
And when he conies back from the far
an.l mysterious East, they are interested
and glad. They want to talk with him
and near what he has been doing, and
from-the big towns to crossroads in tho
sagebrush, they hang up bunting saying:
"Welcome to Our Frank," and greet him
like a brother.—From April Outing,
The Motorist's Joke.
"I think I'll try filling the tires of my
automobile with illuminating gas," said
the amateur chauffeur.
"Good joke," gurgled his fool friend.
"Expect to make It light. Ha! ha!
"Nothing of the kind," replied the ama-
teur chauffeur; "I thought it might in-
crease the speed of the machine. Just
think how the stuff makes the wheels of
a gas meter spin around."—London Tat-
ler.
WASHINGTON, April 9.—Mrs. Ida M.
Von Claussen, who made a complaint to
the State Department against United
States Minister Graves at Stockholm be-
cause he declined to present her to King
Oscar, was at the White House today In
an effort to obtain a personal interview
with the President to state her case.
This was refused her, whereupon she left
with the officials a letter of which she
furnished a copy to the press. In this
she begs President Roosevelt to at once
appoint a committ**') of experts to make
sure that she is of sound mind before
she proceeds further in this case for she
knows well from previous reports that
when President Roosevelt Is cornered he
has a habit of appointing such commit-
tees to help him out of his difficulty.
Therefore, not caring to lay herself open
t<> further criticism, Mrs. Claussen de-
mands that such a commission be ap-
pointed at once, otherwise siie will call
the experts in herself.
Loeb Shirks His Job.
When Mrs. Claussen appeared at the
White, House Secretary Loeb directed his
assistant, Mr. Foster, to talk to her,
though it was evident that she was very
much disappointed.
No reply will be made by the White
House officials to the letters she left for
the President.
Mrs. Von Claussen stated tonight that
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon tele-
phoned her that if she would present her
side of the case in writing it would re-
ceive his careful consideration. She said
she would prepare the statement but
that she will not call in person at the
State Department to present it.
WISCONSIN STEAMBOAT TRAFFIC
Packet Service on the Wolf and Fox
Rivers to Be Improved.
Oskosh, Wis.—Extensive plans are
making for tho extension and develop-
ment of the steamboat and packet ser-
vice on the Wolf and Fox rivers, which
are the principal waterways of this part
of Wisconsin. One of the features of the
schedule revision will be the inaugura-
tion of daily service between Oshkosh
and Freemont. This is a consummation
devoutly wished by the business men of
Oshkosh and by the people who live in
the section jying along the Wolf River
from Bay Boom to Freemont, as well as
to the population of Weyauwega and ad-
jacent towns. For they will be enabled
to make the journey to Oshkosh and
back again in one day.
For some years the steamboat business
in tt>ls part cf thte State has been wither-
ing up. Some years ago there were six
or seven steanmra plying upon these
waters and doing a thriving package
and passenger business. For nearly a
decade the upper Wolf has been almost
without navigation, save for an occa-
sional excursion. In the '80s and even
'90s, several boats mado the run even
farther up than Freemont and did a pay-
ing business.
The steamer Paul, built aurlng tho
winter here for tho Oskosh Steamboat
Company and recently launched, will be
placed on the upper Wolf River run, and
an effort will be made to effect a revival
of boating business on that river. The
boat will start out early in the morning,
touching at Tusten, Bay Boom, Winne-
conne, and iiutte des Morts, and arriving
at Oshkosh at about noon. The return
trip will be made In the afternoon. Tho
Thistle and Fashion, other vessels of the
Oshkosh Steamboat Company, will take
care of the large excursion business that
is done on the rivers and lakes. During
the summer the merchants of Oshkosh
run "merchants' excursions" to the city
from Berlin, Eureka and Omro, on the
Fox River, and from Stockbridge, Broth-
t rtown, and Calumet harbor, on the east
short "t the lake. These excikrsions are
run at a nominal cost to passengers, and
annually bring thousands of shoppers to
the city.
Oshkosh is building up an extensive
business in the manufacture of marine
engines, and Oshkosh engines are now
being shipped all over the country.—Mil-
waukee Sentinel.
REJANE AND THE GIRLS OF PARIS
The Actress Will Present Plays for
Their Especial Benefit.
Rejana has opened a new theater, of
which she Is both star and manager.
She has leased the old Comedie Mondaine
and" has"had the place remodeled. Every-
thing is beautifully decorated in light,
gay tones; changes havo been made in
the arrangement of the foyer, and for the
first time in a theater of serious charac-
ter, an orchestra plays between the acts.
"Well, yes, I must say I am rather
tired," Rejane admitted the other night
in her dressing room, between the acts of
"La Course du Flambeau." Rejane's
suite is, by the way, the prettiest place
imaginable. It is composed of three
rooms—an entree, a cozy little salon and,
finally, the dressing room. The walls are
covered with a pale shade of Durple silk,
the draperies are of soft velvet of the
same color, embroidered ^ 1th silver. The
dressing .'oom proper is in a more pink-
islTshade. The chairs are white and gold.
Rejane is tali, rather stout, with light,
wavy hair and expressive eyes. Her
habilleuse moved about in a noiseless,
experienced way, handing this and that
as it was needed.
"Yes," Rejane continued, putting a last
touch of powder to her cheek, "it is a
great responsibility to be manager and
actress at the same time. But 1 know
what I was undertaking. So far my Idea
has met with great success. At present I
am unusually tired because of my new
play about an American woman in Paris.
"For some time I have put on plays
especially for girls. Young girls have
been left uside completely as far as
theaters are concerned, and except for an
occasional matinee classique, they nevet
set their feet inside a theater. French
girls are by no means as independent as
the Americans, you know.
"It is a shame, I think. That is why I
Intend to give a series of plays that may
be seen and enjoyed by girls. These
plays ari» not to be foolish or insipid.
Neither do I want them classical. But
they must be good and well written.
"the primeur of this play was given at
a young girls' matinee and the house was
so crowded that I started to let it run
evenings also. Every Thursday after-
noon, however, there is something going
on especially for young girls. I want
them to knew they can always come
when they want to hav-5 a good time.
And so far they peem to like the idea,
because evary seat is taken."
Rejane is appreciated in all circles of
Paris, and news of her new theater was
greeted with enthusiasm, particularly her
idea of young girls. And perhaps that
one Idea i:iay. turn out to be a great step
toward the moral independence of the
French girl.—New York Evening Pest.
