ExLawyers Story Told Last Year Assails
Evelyn Thaw and Her Affidavit Charges
Prisoner with Repeated Violence
While in Europe I
By Friday at the latest Harry Thaw should know his fate j
In the opinion of the great majority of those who have been follow
I ing the events of the second trial that fate i certain to be a lunatic
I asyltim for evenif the jury should find him not of flic
fnd guilty fe murder of
Stanford While it is believed that Justice Doling either
i beleved
ustie Dowlng eiher on his 011
initiative or on the application of the
intative applclon DistrictAttorney will order the
young millionaire to be confined as a maniac pending further inquiry into
the prisoners sanity
Both sides resed their cases this afternoon after the
aferoon afer prosecution had
got to the jury Abe Hummels famous affidavit which
atda vi figured so exten
sively in the first trial and after the defense had introduced in evidence
Harry Thaws erratic will as further proof of his insanity at the time of
his marriage
Mr Jerome introduced no alienists to controvert the
Ilenists contrvert testimony of
the three experts for the other side who swore yeserday that Thaw
ThaI was
crazy on the night of June 25 1906
From this i was evident that Jerome believing as he does believe
that Thaw is a lunatic was content to let the jury judge on the strength
of the testimony of the defense whether or not he had a sense of respon
sibility in the legal understanding of the term on the night when he shot
the architect
Mr Littleton will sum up all day tomorrow Mr Jerome will
follow with his final argument on Thursday morning and the jury will
take the case cither Thursday afternoon or Friday morning
The entire trial to date hits consumed less than seventeen court
tral sevenlen cour days
five of which were spent in getting a jury The first trial lasted nearly
three times as lonsr
