The county jail where Thaw is conâ€" fined nominally in the custody of the court, is on the third floor of the court house, directly over the court room. By means of a private elevator Thaw can pass from _ the jail to the court room without being seen by the crowd. At one point in the argument the court ruled that the burden of proof was on the relator, Thaw. as he was not on trial under a criminal charge. This ruling took Thaw‘s attorneys by surprise, and Mr. Graham said that he had not anticipated such an _ opinion from the court.

Admission to the court room, however, was restricted to persons holding tickets or passes issued by the sheriff‘s office. No official stateâ€" ment was made as to the programme to be followed, but it was understood about the court house that the attorâ€" neys for Thaw would first attempt to rest their case upon the question of the constitutionality of his commitment to the Matteawan Hospital. As outlined last week, Thaw‘s counsel contends that Justice Dowling did not confirm to the legal requirements when he committed Thaw to Matteawan, They claim, therefore, that he is being deprivâ€" ed of his liberty without due process of law. They will ask Justice Morschauser to pass upon this question before _ proâ€" ceeding with the examination of witnessâ€" es to determine Thaw‘s present mental condition.

Kennedy was found yesterday in the barn of a man named Hawkins, near Rockwood, in an almost insensible conâ€" dition. He was told to get out, but was unable to move, and it was only then it was discovered that his feet, and practically the whole lower portion of his legs were eaten to the bone with gangrene, which had extended to the knees, leaving the limbs in an indeâ€" scribably horrible condition.

Some newspapers adâ€" vise the immediate withdrawal *of the Spanish troops, saying there is bad blood between them and the French, and that a repetition of the trouble is likely if they remain in contact. The encounter, which took place at one of the city gates, was the outcome of a quarrel between :some Spanish solâ€" diers and an unarmed Algerian sharpâ€" shooter. The Algerian _ was â€" knocked down and beaten by the Spaniards, and is now dying. A sergeant of Zouaves, who was in charge of the gate, rushed to the aid of the sharpshooter, and, with the aid of a French subaltern, tried to intervene. The sergeant and the officer were without arms. At this point some Spaniards behind a wall opened fire. The interchange of shots continued several minutes. The firing from the French side was done by Zouaves. Snoain Wants Details.
