’The same idea was to be found not

up at the second trial. You can find
it in a dozen of his strongest assertions
to the 1908 jury before it acquitted

"Any talk by the '550,000’ Attorney
General, Mr. Woodbury, that the
jurors’ positions would help him, is
buncombe. Aside from the fact that
Justice Hendrick stated he accepted
the purely individual and consequent-
ly worthless opinion of other judges,
Mr. Woodbury knows that he had no
evidence of insanity and that when he
presented a case with no basis except
the admitted perjury of his chief wit-
ness, he might almost have held him-
self in contempt of court for wast-
ing the time of the judge and the

is commonly called 'hot air.’ ”

TEMPLE, Texas. July 19.—The
State Luther League, in annual session
here today, selected Corpus Christi as
the permanent meeting place, condi-'
tioned on ability to secure a suitable
location. In the event of such not be-
ing found, the next session will con-
vene at Pflugerville.
A committee to whom was referred
the subject of establishing a summer
camp at Corpus Christi, in conjunction
with the Epworth League, will report
at the next annual session.
Rev. E. A. Sagabiel of Brenham was
unanimously elected president of the
league for the ensuing year, this mak-
ing his third term in that office. Other
officers elected were. Walter Tats ch
of Sun Antonio, vice president; Rev. F.
Roesner of Austin, treasurer; Miss
Kuenpel of Pflugerville, secretary.
A committee consisting of Rev. E.
A. Sagabiel, F. Roesner and A. Wolff
was selected to devise ways and means
to secure the study of the Bible by the
children In all Lutheran churches in
the State. A jubilee fund to celebrate
the four hundredth anniversary of the
reformation, in 1917, was started at
this meeting.
The business session was brought to
a close in the afternoon, after which
the delegates and visitors were taken
for an automobile ride. Tonight a ban-
quet was served, at which 175 guests
were present.
ing disclosures he made was that,
during the panic of 1907 while he was
locked up in the Tombs awaiting his
second trial for murder at which he
was acquitted on the grounds of in-
sanity, he invested funds on margin
in Wall Street, through the firm of
Keech, Loew & Co., and realized
therefrom enough to more than pay
for the expenses of the habeas corpus
proceedings before Justice Mor-
schauser. Mills and Keogh, which pre-
ceded his escape from Matteawan.
The talk in the compartment of the
Pullman, which he shared with the
correspondents, turned on the ex-
penses of his nine years of litigation
to escape the electric chair and the
mad house.
"The estimate of 91,000,000 is an
exaggeration,” said Thaw, "an extra-
vagant guess. The first trial cost sev-
eral hundreds of thousands of dollars,
whereas in the hands of a good lawyer
it need not have cost more than $25,-
000. I was outrageously robbed there.
The second trial cost muoh less but
still a great deal too much.”
“Your mother had to pay heavily
for your battle?" was suggested.
"Very little was lost by my family
through the trials,” he answered. “I
borrowed the money from my mother
and my two sisters. Mother lost
about 60 per cent of what she put into
the first trial but I have since paid
my sisters in full.”
Thaw smiled quietly to himself a
minute and then continued:
"Do you know that during the
height of the panic in 1907 while I
was in the Tombs waiting the second
trial, I made more than enough to pay
all my expenses in Matteawan up to
the time I left there.”
“Did you deal in margins?" he was
asked.
“Yes,” was the reply. "But a man

This great feature, which was
shown at the Bes-Mar Theater yester-
day and will be shown again today, is
without a doubt one of the greatest
pictures that has been seen in Austin
in a long time and those who were
fortunate enough to see same came
out to this particular place of amuse-
ment with the satisfied feelmng that
they had seen a real picture.
The feature is in six parts, each
act crowded with hurrying events of
a great life drama. The picture
itself is magnificent, the costumes be-
ing correct in every detail and the
scenes laid correctly as to atmos-
phere, in fact the writer although he
watched same carefully could find
absolutely nothing lacking from any
standpoint.
The superb work of Viola Alien in
the title role will long be remembered
by those who were at the Bes-Mar
yesterday, in this, her greatest master-
piece, she has caught the heart throbs
of a woman and used them with a
subtlety 'of genius that is both re-
markable and the acme of perfec-
tion.
Miss Allen is ably supported by
Richard C. Travers as Captain Gio-
vanni. This young rnan is a won-
derful actor and has a wonderful per-
sonality that follows you all through
the picture. Most of the serene stars
who are handsome to look upon have
