he Juiy that Itoberteon knew Mr.
Tempest be'ore his rn.irrl.iRe, and said :
Must a man Klv up nil his friends
when h marries? That Is what you
men must decide."
The chief witness for Mrs Itolmrteon
was James K. Finn, a detective, who
wateheil the Hparlment of Mrs. Tempest
In tho Sonoma ut 1730 H roadway and
reported on frequent vllt thero by
P.cbcrtton. C'nnieriilm: what ho saw

minute and sometimes more. Mary Ed
wards, a colored maid for Mrs. Tempest,
Fald she first saw Hobertson In the
Tempest apartment shortly after she
went there In December, 1913, ann
said that he was a constant visitor
until she left Mrs. Tempest's employ
last March She was sure that Hobert

because she had washed hla silk shirts
nnd pajamas. When asked If she saw
Hobertson In bed thete she said:
"Yes, I have often served breakfast
In bed to Mr. Robertson and Mrs.
Tempest. Ho usually stacd all night,

of Miss Meyers from "ih ! Illcs' nnd
tho attractions of public life, laid that
she had voluntarily given up a contract
that callel for Jtno a week, cash money,
and dwelt upon the very notable cmrnis
of the young woman whom Mr. Ulumen

that since Maxle was all exhausted fioni
toting money to the bank It was hard
for his friends to give him anything that
was really valuable. The gift therefore
was to be taken us nn expression of
sentiment for a pal. The desire of his
friends had been to give Maxle some
thing that would be useful in the home
life, something that would make him
forget Jack's and Churchill's and Hec
tor's. Nat 'Ioodwln made the last speech.
He admlted that he was an authority
on the subject closest to the lienrt of
the guet of honor. He had been mar
tied five or six limes (the exact num
ber had escaped him for the moment),
but ut all events the sum total quali
fied lilm to speak as an expert on
matrimonial experience and sdvoutures.

Continued tromrl'lrat I'aga
dent that Thaw's counsel hope to es
tablish that he not only Is not a para

progressive and Incurable, that ho never
was a paranoiac.
Then the cross-examining by the Stnto
of all tho witnesses except Thaw showed
that Messrs. Cook and Ibcker will
steadily contend that, admitting Thaw's
mentality at times to be as good or oven
better than that of the average man.

Crowd Finds .Merriment,
The atmosphere of the court, there
fore, was generally one of solemnity,
but on threo or four occasions during
the day Court dipt. Lynch, who usually
h.ads the disciplinarian forces at noted
murder trl lis In the Criminal Courts
IJullilIng so effectively that he watf
luought down to the County Court
House especially for the present Thaw
trial, had to rap hard for order when
smiles that spread to giggles and even
to outright loud laughter came from tho
packed room.
"You kiiv." repeated Mr. Stanchlleld
lu his soft voiced, unruffled manner
when directly examining Mgr. I.uke
livers, rector of St. Andrew's Catholic
Church mid ex-chaplain at the Tombs,
"that In these con vi rsat Ions with Mr.
Thaw, you nnd he discussed the dlf
feiences between the rites In the Mast
ern nnd Western branches of the Catho
lic Church. Did Mr. Thaw discuss these
dllTereiRc.s of rl'es Intelligently?
"IndiHl," teplled Mgr. Kvers with a
smile and an emphasis that brought
foith n laugh even from Justice Hen
dricks, "Mi. Thaw knew a lot mote
about the. n than I did."
Again there was laughter when Mr.
Slatichllehl, ' after .'Mulcting from
Thomas Thorp, former stnr football
player at Columbia and now a Journallt,
some of Mr. Thoip's athletic distort,
asked the witt,es, "You ate lit least
Physically able to Judge of a man's
"t','"nhr. . . .
.vir rnoip numitteii that "at least
phjslcall.v" he was able to do so. There
were more laughs, espci.ally from Dr.
Austin Flint's friends grouped about the
alienist, when another newspaper man,
(iustuvus C. Koeder, said on the stand
that one day Thiw, commenting upon
stories ihat Dr. Flint feared bodily harm
If White's slayer were set free, dls-inis-ed
the storle with the remark,
"Poor Dr. Flint! I'm afraid the doctor
Is growing old."
"viiilllnit Juror" it Wlliies.
As for the small bodied Chris Schultz,
retired dellcntesen dealer tut member
of the Jury that recently acquitted Thaw
of conspiracy, happiness was widespread
from the moment Mr. Schultz took the
stand until a viry few mliites later he
stepped down
"You were Juior No. r, smile mid
all?" cross-examined Mr, Cook for the
State.
'Yep always I am smiling," said
Chris, blithe as a bird.
"And vou're the man," continued Mr.
Cook, adding his own inlles to the
general hapiness radiating from Chris,
"who during that conspiracy trial used
to go over with us of tho prosecution
at rcces to the icstMurnnt to make
yourself iiKieeahle to both sides. ehT'
"Yes, jes," clilrped Chris happily, "I'm
the one- alwios I am agreeable with
everybody" I.oud laughter 1

Then they got down to work upon tho
only matter they had been sworn to
decide, tho question of whether or not
Tlrivv had entered Into a conspiracy
together with his companions when ha
escaped.
Mr. Stanchtleld In his opening ad
dress of the trial nt the beginning 'f'
tlit foiotjoon session defended Thaw's
shooting of White, at least In so far ut 1
the slayer believed stories told to him

Thaw's counsel then outlined tic ohl-f
features of the testimony at both the
minder trials nnd pointed out that even i

!
Jerome lliioletl for Than, 1
Mr. Stanchlleld quoted Mr. Jerome's
statement that tlie architect "deserved
death" and read the verdict render d
by tlie Jury at the second murder tria
which acquitted Thaw- on the ground
that he w is insane when In shot White.

said Mr. Stanthfl-ld. except tdoso wfio
had examined Thaw personally. The

was scored by Thaw's counsel ns a man
well lelmbursed for his testimony, kIvcii

Mr Cook went Into Thaw's life lu the

"Ho had that room for n lonu time."
