THE WAY BRO. MOORMAN VIEWS IT.

*' Starke County Republican: Society of the high and mighty brand is knee deep in clover. The Thaw trial is at last under pro- ! gress, and the papers are about ready to print the scalacious details which the examination of witnesses is sure to develop. Thaw is the soiled son of aristocracy who gained part of his notoriety by his sensational marriage to a soiled daughter of the same social stratum. Later he reached the pinacle of fame by shooting to death one Stanford White, an amorous reprobate of the Tarquin variety. White, it seems, had gained the confidence of Thaw’s wife while she was yet in short dresses, and this at the demand of her mother. ■ ’Tis the old story of high life in New York. All the principals are millionaires, moral degenerates and social celebrities. To what depths they have stooped in the pursuit of perverted pleasure can only be conjectured The Thaw crowd is ; a bad lot, the whole kit and bilin’, and when they get to telling on each other it will require careful ■ censoring on the part of the managing editor who essays to print the news and at the same time not be up for sending obscene literature through the mails.
