The opposition attorneys ~were ap-’
parently confused by 1%. Patter-
son’s tactics. They had apparently
taken it for granted that Thaw
would be questioiied at length by
his own counsel and were not pre-
pared to question the witness.
Arthur G. Dickson, ottorncy for
Thar: trustees. and \Villisrn A.
Gray. attorney for Miss New. kept
Thaw sitting on the stand in silence
for five minutes while they confer-
red with alienists retained by.
At the end of the whispered con-
ference Mr. Dickson announced.
"\\'e have no questions to ask."
Thaw smiled broadly and left the
stand.
Attorneys for Thaw likewise were
not prepared-for this move from the
opposition. and another hasty con-
ference followed. This was followed
by a request for a recess, and court
adjourned until 1:15.
Opposition's Counsel Explain
Counsel for the opposition ex-
plained their failure to question
Thaw. saying, "\Yiiy should we have
to cross-examine Thaw? “76 had
nothing to meet. Mr. Patterson boast
ed how Thaw would take the stand
and tell his story, but instead ’he
asked him only a few perfunctory
questions. “'e will prove that Thaw‘
should not he be released in our own
way and by our own witnesses. in-
cluding Evelyn Nesbil."
After a conference between attor-
neys for Thaw and for the opposi-
tion. it was announced during the
luncheon recess that Thaw could be
brought back to the stand for exam-
ination and cross-examination at
times during the trial. Mr. Patterson
said the Judge and jury could ex-
amine Thaw at any time they

The farmer who a few years ago
waited as long as :4 hours for rc-
ports on the principal c ntodity
markets} is probably in c oser touch
with price trends today than most
of the city folk equally interested in
trade. Ilis new position is due to
the tremendous development of the
radio.
The Chicago Board of Trade, the
largest grain market in the world,
has been a pioneer in broadcasting

national recognition' by its efforts
to bring the grain producer into in-
stantaneous touch with exchange
prices.
The broadcasting of the Board of

the quotation to the farmer minutes
ahead of their receipt by the less
progressive village elevator opera-
