State of Florida vs. W. J. Newman,
charged with the murder of Deputy

V. Walton, Esq., ot t'alatKa. only
seven or eight witnesses were exam

At the conclusion of testimony Mi
Walton made an able plea for the
defense, urging that the killing was
in self-defense. Col. Graham who
made an able speech for the state.

New York On the ninth anniver
sary of the killing of Stanford White,
his slayer, Harry K. Thaw, was de
scribed at the trial to test his sanity
as a man who was perfectly rational
and more kind, generous, charitable,
a man of broad Intellect and one wor
thy of being introduced In the best
social circles. His eulogists consist
ed of a dozen men and women whom
he had met during his sojourn in New
Hampshire after his escape from the
Matteawan insane asylum. They
came to New York at the request of
Thaw's attorneys to do the best they
could, tbey admitted, to show their
confidence in Thaw and their belief
that he should be set free as a sane
man. More than one stated that sen
timent in New Hampshire was strong-,
ly in favor of Thaw.
One, the wife of a well-to-do manu
facturer of Manchester, N. If., said
that she had entertained Thaw so
cially at her home and had been glad
to introduce her daughters to him.
