Delmas said he would finish In the afternoon,
mid then Mr. Garvan announced that District
Attorney Jerome would begin his summing up
this morning.
RECITES STORY OF SHOOTING.
At the afternoon session Mr. Delinks resumed
with the *tory of the events of the night of
June ••". it**;, Beginning, he^ said:
Hbsbbm. nothing now remains for me to do
fcut to call TOOT attention ro the events m the
»i)ght of Jun« V>. UK. with a .view not to dwell
r.t any length upon the tragedy, l in t.HIi tli*» idea
«? elucidating many of the events upon which your
attention must have been centred during this trial
—namely, t! ■«• condition of the defendant's mind

He then told cf the party dining at the Cafe
Martin, the passing of White through the room,
the. note that Mr*. Thaw wrote to her husband,
find, finally, led up to the party of four going
to the roof garden. He told of Thaw chatting
v.ith James Clinch Smith, White's brother-in
law, for a half hour, and Busily the four start
ing t'» leave. At this point Mr. Deltnas grew
dramatic. His voice was low, but very earnest,
*s he taJd:
Batfdonly he saw the fac« of Btanford White.
Ftanford White was ihen appnrently intent on
v-ntchinr tiio performance of the play. Thaw turned

then fired the three shots thnt mused Whites

treat Importance, un It was t*s->i:i.-il '•• I>J Meyer
Cbbea. Ihat whe.i the body of Mr. White fell on
the floor. Thaw stood calmly facing ti;e audience
■with his arms outstretched, i" the form of a cross.
IJKiCXS THAW TO PBintT.
Thla'ls ■ circumstance which hit? not been dwelt
tiDon in any of th« expert testimony, but a. dream*
rtance t. -nich showed the character of the execution
which had taken place. !,Ike the priest wiio
rtretches out his arms after the aaertfioe ha« been
offered, so Thaw announced the completion of his
ta*k. Thaw broke the pistol, emptied the cham-
T^m as If to assume the attitude, that no harm
'•jvnuid happen to any one. and then- he walked to
|. if) wlfa.
Mr. Delmaa related the conversation with
tThatv and his wife that followed and what Thaw
laid as he was being taken away. Continuing.
gi« c:Ud:
Gentlemen. T bar*. dwelt SMS the sets sad
ration* of Thaw to direct your attention to
thefart that the safety of his wife from the menace
*.f the man whom he mtrht well have thought was
following her was his sole idea. This was^the

xn Pr. Delevan's. The first thought was that h-
YtkA «ave4 Ms wife's life, and he al*o felt h« had
iaved hi« «wa life from th« man who threatened
Ida.
Mr. Delmas dwelt on the point that Thaw, at
that moment, when lie saw White at the Roof
Garden, was in the condition when his mind
«W«jt back like "forks of lightning" over past
events. He said Thaw thought of everything
lie had heard about White, and another resume
t>f the various charges against White was made.
tThe fact that three witnesses testified that they
Sieved" Thaw was irrational when he shot
TWnlte also was detailed. Tho examinations and
testimony of Dr. Binpaman. the Thaw family
physician, and Dr. Evans and Dr. Wagner.
tdieaists, also was brought out. The testimony
t* Dr. Allan McLaue Hamilton was broached.
lun3 Mr. Delmas said:
As regards Dr. Hamilton, it Is proper." I believe,
te etate that during the examination of Dr. Kvans
the District Attorney asked him what bis oj'lnwn
«* Dr. Hamilton was a« to his rank as an alienist.
jT)r. Evans naturally shrank from expressing his
•.pinion of « brother physician. Mr. Jerome cited
m. rase In whlci! one expert testlSed as to tie quali
fications ef another phybk-inn. ui:d insisted that
Z)r. Evans make reply.
MR. GARVAN INTERRUPTS.
' Mr. DstSSBS explained then how The court
Granted to know If the District Attorney In
tended to call Dr. Hamilton as a witness. Then
he said that Mr. Jerome, promised to call Dr.
Hamilton and had failed to keep his promise.
He said the jury could draw the inference from
the action of the District Attorney that Dr.
Hamilton would have testified that two days
after the shooting, wht?n he examined Thaw, the
latter was Insane. At this juncture Mr. Delmas
turned sharply to the right, and pointing to Dr.
Flint firs! and then to Dr. Mabon. two Of the
rtate's alienists, exclaimed:
■ V,. did not testify that Thaw was not in
sasW on the right he killei Stanford White."
Then, facing the jury again, he continued: "Gen
tlemen. j«ou can infer that Dr. Flint and Dr.
Mabon would have testified to"
•I object to that," exclaimed Mr. Garvan,
Jumping to his feet.
"You must remember, Mr. Delmas," said the
court, "that the jury cannot speculate as to what
tt witness could have said md certain cir
cumstances."
"I am within my rights," insisted Mr. Drlmasi
•'I submit that"
"Don't argue, please." said Justice FitzGerald.
"i repeat Kith great deference to your best-
Dr'F "
"The objection of the District Attorney Is
►ustniried." snapped the court.
Mr. Delmas then turned to the jury and said:
X am convinced that 1 am within my rights wii<>n
2 say th.it l>r. Kltnt and his brother alienist hero
tfld not <•--• that Thaw was insun* ct the time
*>f the fhootln*. 1 say that you nave the i m. it to
Infer thai Mi Jerome did not call Dr. Hamilton
because he would testify the revenue of what the
JViStrict Attorney would have you believe lie would
testify to.
PLEADS UNWIUTTEN LAW
Counsel spoke of tlie alienists for the defence,
beven In number, and added Dr. Hingaman,
Snaking eight, and, by inference. Dr. Hamilton,
gnaking nine. He paid the** nine OMB showed .i
tremendous preponderance of opinion that Thaw
was insane, against seven men for the state,
four of whom, he said, had had but little
practical experience. He then began on his
plea of the "unwritten law"-his specialty, it is
said— and, in part, said:
The humanity of the law on the statute books of
N-Jw Yor™ has declared that In a matter that m
v IV- it fate of a man In life or death It Is the
BameTaTln" civil ease-the preponderance ol evl
denes 1* given the most weight. Bring our mind,
benefit of every reasonaole douht? lou .' 1 , aNO
promised to do that, or you would not be sittmr

For U there lingers in your mind the slightest
doubt the laws of liumanlty declare you must glvn
It m him, the prisoner. Whenever you doubt you
ai» bound to givo the benefit of that doubt, how
ever slight, to the man before the bar.
JEROME MIST PROVE THAW SANE.
A learned Judge long ago said: "It Is better to
allow ninety-nine guilty men to escape rather than
that one innocent man be convicted. If thete is
one chan< c In a hundred that Thaw believed he was
th« agent or Providence, you must give him the
benefit of the doubt it Is for the District Attor
ney to prove that Thaw was sane when he killed
I will suppose, for example, thnt somebody you
love— your daughter or the wife who walks down
the valley of life with y<Ai-ls very ill. Tlie physi
cian says the chances of life and death are equal.
Somebody presents to you a big urn. There are
ninety-nine white balls and one black hall in It.
You are told that If you draw out the. bjack ball
your dear one will surely recover, and if a white
ball la drawn death will surely come. Would you
draw? Would you not say that the chances were
ninety-nine to one against you? Would you not
say thai the physician said the chances were equal,
and would you not abide by his decision? In the
name of that humanity that antedates humanity
itself. I say to you that if you have a doubt you
are bound to give it to the defendant.
Something has been paid that the species of m
aaniiy from which the defendant Buffered has not
been given a name. I will ask you to label that
species of insanity by a name that makes a man
believe whoever brings pollution In his homo must
look to God for any future benefits be may expect.
The law, gentlemen, Is a human law. You are men
of flesh and blood, men of families, and you nave
led wives to the. altar, and 1 violate* no law when
1 spepk as that Great One has spoken when He
said: "Do unto others as you would they would do
unto you"
LEAVES CLIENTS FATE TO JURY.
Mr. Debnas was In the recital of eases In
which the "unwritten law" had wop freedom
for the defendant when Mr. Qarvan again ob
jected and was again sustained.
The elope of Mr. Delmas's summing up came
with unexpected suddenness. Two or three
times he had dropped his voice and stopped for
a moment, each time to resume with renewed
vigor. He quoted a passage from the Scripture,
as follows:
• I recall that great Look In which Is contained
all the wisdom nnd religion of tho agCS, and I
say. -Shall Jonathan die for working this groat
salvation in Israel?' God forbid. No hair of his
head shall fall to the ground, for on that day he
wrought with Got."
There was a pause for a moment, and then. In
very low tones, he ended:
"I now, with solemnity, leave In your hands
the fate of Harry K. Thaw '
Mr. Jerome Will not begin Ills summing up
until 11:.'K>, and will take only three hours, it Is
understood. This would give Justice FltxGerald
time for his charge to the jury if he saw fit to
make It, and the jury would have the fate of
Thaw in Its bands by to-night If Mr. Jerome
phould take longer It !« likely that the court
would postpone h!« i harpe until Thursday
morning.

ASSEMBLY MEASURES.
Factor// Bill Discussion — To Limit
Campaign Expenditures.
Albany, April i) (Special).— Legislation of Im
portance was passed by the Assembly to-day in
a session lasting over four hours. The Page
Labor bill, which prohibits the employment of
children under sixteen years of age in factories,
except between the hours of 8 and 5 o'clock, was
passed after an amendment offered by Assem
blyman Prentice changing the hours to 7 and
0 o'clock had been voted down by Tf» to 58.
This amendment led to a sharp debate. It was
strongly supported, without respect to. party
lines, by those members who are affiliated with
factory Interests. Some surprise was caused by
Assemblyman Morelar.d, the majority leader, ad
vocating the amendment. In arguing for it. Mr.
■foreland read a letter from Labor Commissioner
Sherman which characterized the bill in its un
amended shape as "an iniquitous and unjust
measure." Commissioner Sherman approved of
the bill amended as Mr. Prentice desired.
The. Phillips bill limiting the amount to be
expended by candidates for public office to se
cure election was also passed after a slight de
bate. Ho direct opposition was made to the
measure. Assemblymen "Wainwrlght, Cuvillier
and others believed that the bill was not drastic
enough, but supported it. as a step in the right
direction. An amendment offered by Assembly
man Glynn limiting the amount to the actual
personal expenses of the candidates in travelling
In the campaign was voted down. By the bill
as passed candidates for Governor are not al
lowed to expend over $10,000; other state offi
cers, except members of the Judiciary, not over
$«5.<i00; Congress, $4,000; State Senators, $2,000.
and Assemblymen, $1,000.
Another Wells National Guard bill was passed
after some opposition. This bill puts into the
hands of the Governor tho appointment of briga
dier generals of the guard. By tho present
military code these officers are elected by the
Held officers of the. guard. Mr. Wells explained
that this change in the code was made to put
the guard on the same basis as the federal army.
Assemblyman Cuvillier denounced the measure
as being introduced by the adjutant general
to vent his spite on Major General Roe and en
able him to get General Roe into his power.
Assemblyman Cuvillier announced to tho As
sembly to-day that be would move to-morrow
that the Ways and Means Committee bo dis
charged from further consideration of his "sal
ary grab" bill. This bill raises the salary of
members of both houses from $1,500 to $.",000
a year.
Important amendments are proposed to tlin
MortfTiipr<» Tnx law In Mr. Green's hill reported to
night by the Assembly Committee on Taxation. The
Recording Tux law is applied on all mortgages of
less than $100 which are recorded on or after July
1. ISO 7. Tlie Morignfce Tax law now requires a
recording tax of GO cents on each $ltX» of the princi
pal of any mortgage and each remaining major
fraction thereof, nnd this amendment requires the
same tax to a;>T'i} to all mortgages of less than
$100. The bill .'(!*■> places mortgages executed and
recorded prior to July i. i<«>',. on the same basis as
mortgages recorded after that date. -

PREPARED BY
GOTHAM HOTEL CASE.
Strong Opposition to Save Bill De
signed to Give It a License.
Albany. April 0 (Special).— Vigorous opposi
tion to the Sax* bill which would permit the
Gotham Hotel to obtain a liquor license devel
oped in the Senate to-day, as a consequence of
which the measure failed of advancement to
third reading. This measure provides that the
proprietor of a place within two hundred feet
of a church or school who desires to sell
liquors may serve on the corporation using tho
building for a church notice of his intention
to apply for a license, and that the license may
b« granted if within thirty days there is not
tiled an objection signed by "a two-thirds ma
jority" of the trustees of the church.
While the measure applies apparently to any
situation in the state, the debate on It was
confined almost entirely to th« Gotham Hotel
condition. Indeed, Senator Fuller, who was one
of tho opponents of the measure, pointed out
that many churches did not have "trustees,"
and ask*><l what the bill would effect If it be
came a law ami a saloonkeeper wanted to open
a place near such a church. Senator Raines,
who seemed In favor of the bill, retorted that in
such it case it probably would have no appli
cation, and that It was not special legislation
because there were so many churches of th© de
nomination of th» one in the Gotham case and
others which did have trustees.
Senator Agnew brought the bill sharply Into
the. limelight when it came up In general orders
by declaring that It was meant for the relief
of the Gotham, "the residence of many promi
nent people who do not vote in that district,
but wish the hotel to have a license."
This was taken as a direct reference to Sen
ator Platt. who lives at th»» Gotham. *
"This is in my district,"- he went on. "but
since it is well known I have always) opposed
such a bill, I suppose I wasn't asked to Intro
duce this One. on that account. The Senator who
has charge of it Introduced th»« same bill three
years ago. and when its provisions were made
public he denied it and had It stricken from the
record."
This brought Senator Saxe to his feet with
the declaration that ho did not know what that
Mil did when he Introduced It, hut that he was
on record as approving that legislation. He de
clared that the Gotham now had to get its
liquors from other places, and that these liquors
went carried through the streets In baskets a
rn>re»>dln;r which p^emed to him more objection
able than a decently conducted bar In the hotel.
Senator Raines, In speaking of similar excise
legislation in previous years, declared that the
"proprietor of this hotel found It was a different
proposition to obtain the formal consent of the
trustees on paper from what it was in a private
conversation."
Senator Agnew wanted to know If he believed
the proprietor of the Gotham ever had consent
from the trustees to a license in any private
conversation. Senator Raines retorted that he
did not know If a formal consent was granted.
but that he surmised the proprietor came from
the conversations with the Impression that there
would be no objection, or the law In its present
«>!.;. p«» would not have, bothered him. Senator
Keller declared the. bill In effect granted a li
cense, if the trustee* through carelessness or
neglect failed to file ■ protest, which rendered
ihe obtaining of a license .■• much easier process
than where forma] consent bud to be obtained.
Senator Page submitted amendments specifying
that a place to obtain a license under such con
ditions must be a bona fide hotel of at least one
hundred rooms, but they were voted down, and
the bill as laid over.
WOULD EXEMPT TAMMANY HALL.
Placed on a Par with the Projected Brooklyn
Academy of Music.
Albany. A;.j tl 9 (Sperlah.-Dlscussfori of Senator
Travis' b bill to exempt the Academy of Music. In
Brooklyn, from taxation, on the ground that It
was lit b« erected by subscription and used for
public meetings, awakened considerable pleasantry
In the Senate to-day. Th* measure is drawn along
rather broad lines, and Senator Puller want..! an
explanation when it came ui> for advancement to
third reading.
Senator Travis sad that the academy would not
be a paying proposition; It was to be used for
many public meetings, and the Mayor and city
authorities favored the bill.
•'1 wonder If thu Mayor would favor exempting a
Democratic clubhouse in Now York watch nils the
bill in these particulars?" Inquired "The** Sic-
Manus. "I mean Tammany Hull. That don't pay
We rent out halls there, too. Will the Senator ac
cept im amendment which will Include TUnimany
Hall aloiiK With the Academy of Musi.
Senator Travis wasn't quite sure be could an
swer for the city father!*, but Senator McCarren's
fertile mind n (nji-ntfil an easy solution of that
difficulty.
"You can easily bring Tammany Ran In." said
be. "by making it an annex to the Academy of
Music— a sort of miniature academy, as It were
Then It may enjoy nil the blessings and advantucts
bestowed by this bill."
"Well, will that nl*rv include No. Sort Mulberry
Street?' demanded Senator Haxe. "That Is some
what of a 'club' bouse, I opine."
"It might do so," Interposed MeCarrsa. "W*
seem to find this bill much broader than wo
thought It was."
•I nslt that the bill h« laid aside." natd M>'Maim«
"If the Mayor I* in favor of thin legislation i
want to get him to consent to exempt Tammany
llhll from taxation hefnro I vote, for this."
The Mil was laid aside, after the burst of laugh
ter this evoked had subsided.
NO OPPOSITION TO WAINWBIOHT BILL.
\
But It Will Have To Be Passed by Senate
Again. Owing to Error.
Albany, April 9 (Special*.- Without a ward of
opposition the Walnwrlght military Inquiry bill

law, n. bill must iu> on t;i" members' desks for
