Thaw Case Delayed as Witness Death Impacts Trial
District Attorney Jerome announces no speedy trial for Harry Kendall Thaw due to court schedules and a likely two to three week trial. The death of Thaw's valet William Bedford removes a key witness and alters testimony about notes, revolver use, and Thaw's European trip. Private detectives from both sides were examined, and Allen W. Everts of the White family discussed the murder case. In London, Charles Wright Macara argues for a global cotton federation with a target price and improved marketing to stabilize prices and encourage U.S.-European cooperation.
