Justice Fitzgerald upheld this view of the matter, w lng, however, that his ruling waa subject to revision if the attorneys for the defense could cite authorities on the subject. Mr. the Gleason, who aluue conducted case for Thaw today, did cite some cases, but promptly promised to hare more authorities In rourt tomorrow. The defense next Introduced Benjamin Bowman, who testified that in January, 1904, he had n conversation with the defendant.

Justice Fitzgerald again called upon Thaws attorneys for citations of authorities covering the introduction of testimony of the character proposed. We did not expert to reach this witness today, explained Mr. Gleason, "and I have not my authorities here." Justice Fitzgerald sustained Mr. Jeromes objection and the witness stepped aside. Known Thaw Binca Infancy. Dr. C. H.

It was at thla point that the adjournment until tomorrow waa ordered. Proceedings Not Satisfactory, Scarcely had court adjourned when there waa a conference of the defendants counsel and it became known tint certain of the attorneys were not well pleased with the day's developments. Dolphin M. Delmas, upon leaving the court room had flatly that he was disutisfled with the day's proceedings and Intimated that he was surprised that the conduct of the defense, for the day, had been intrusted to John B. Gleason, rather than to himself. Dr. Charles C. Wiley, the Pittsburg physician who testified for the defense and was so sharply cro examined by District Attorney Jerome should not have been put upon the stand today, Mr. Delmas said end perhaps should not hare been put on the stand at u due-do- as that conducted the eminent specialist When Mr. Gleason heard :he ultimatum of hla fellow counselor repeated. he declared again, it a as statof their client ed, that the wishes were paramount with him and be with the others. 1'nder these conditions the council broke up. When, later M the Yale dub. when-with Mr. Delmas, he had gone for dinner, Mr. McPlke aid: "We have no more Ida what will follow the opening of court In the morning than the merest layman has. We arrived at no decision at the conference. We do not know what Mr. Gleason Intends to do. What we ahull ilo depends entirely on what occurs after court opens tomorrow. Another rumor regarding the confer ince is that it referred to a demand made by Thaw that Gleasun be all. expected to go on and conduct the case today, Mr. Delmas added. "1 was surprised that Mr. Gleason should have done It. It had been rumored In the courtroom that Thaw was pleased with Mr. Gleason's addreu to the Jury on Monday and that he directed that Mr. Gleason should take charge of the case today. Thaw's attorneys were closeted at Attorneys MrPlke's office well into the evening, but nothing definite ns to what transpired was made public. When after the lawyers had left Mr. McPlke aid: "The lawyers for the defense held a confernece at which the plane were gone over. There was really nothing of importance done. , "Will Mr. Delmas withdraw from the case tomorrow morning If Mr. Gleason continues the examination ? As to that, replied the lawyer, "you will have to wait until court opens and see for yourself what goes on. I can say nothing about It at the present time. Mr. McPlke was then asked if he. was utisfled with the manner in which the case had been conducted so far. He replied: "Really, I dont care to uy anything. What will be done will be made known tomorrow morning and you will have to wait until then. After the trial had adjourned Lawyer McPlke visited Thaw in the Tombs, lie talked with the prisoner for about fifteen minutes and when he left he refused to make any statement. Later n note was sent to the prisoner asking him If the report that his lawyers had disagreed and his reply was: "No, there Is no truth In the report. It Is all nonsense." Thaw did not appear worn from his tedious dav in court. If he was disappointed 'in the proceedings he did nit give evidence of the fact. Asked what he thought of the day In court, he replied the day had been npperentiy satisfactory. 1 Written authority was given to Clifford W. Hartridge to act as chief counsel, with Mr. Delmas in charge of all examinations, It waa stated. Mr. Gleaaon, it was said, would act hencr-fort- h merely In n consulting ca? paclty. A serious cause of complaint, it was that at a conference on Monday night, Thaw'a legpi advisers decided not to call Dr. C. Wiley, the Plttaburg alienist, as a witness at the present time, and It was, therefore, with the greatest surprise that they heard hia name calle-- i by Mr. Gleaaon as the first witness t.- Hiay. It had also been their Intention to call Mrs. Evelyn Xesblt Thaw, hut this move, it la said, was frustrated. lu-i- (Continued on Page Three) HAD ZERO WEATHER FOR SEVENTEEN DAYS In North Dakota Thirty Degreu low Zero Haa Been Common Railroads Blockad.

Zero weather haa prevailed for seventeen daya. For three days put the temperature has been nearly as low as today. In North Dakota, thirty degrees below haa been common, and there hne been much suffering. Railroads have lieen badly demoralised. For several days past the main lines of the Sno, Great Northern and Northern Pacific have been blocked end many of the branch llnca have been at n standstill for weeks. Thla haa cauaed a coal famine in many North Dakota towna. There have been reports of many people freezing to death, but these reports have been denied from North Dakota sources. It Is, however, admitted by railroad managers that the opening of spring will tell tome grew-som- e tales of suffering, starvation and death. In Minnesota, especially to the north and west, the storms have been severe. Today nil trains from Chicago were from one to five hours late. The Loo line sent out the first train to the coast In a week, but the official made no promises to passengers that thev would get farther west than Portal, N. D. Northern Pacific trains from North Dakota points were six and seven hours late and Great Northern trains from the same locality were from three to eight hours late. It la reported that the Sno line aent some supplies through on the Thief River Falls branch, having gotten it open farther in the past few daps than it has been since December IS. From Fargo the report comes that the Fargo-SoutWestern sent out the first train in fifteen days over that line from Fargo. McHenry, N.
