FINAL PLEAJ"0 JURY
Attorney Delmas Concludes His
Argument in Thaw Case.
INSANE AT TIME OF KILLING
Closing Words of Defendant's Counsel
an Almost Direct Appeal to the Un
written Law, Recognized by Courts
All Over the Union.
New York, April 10.—D. M. Delmas,
Harry K. Thaw's leading counsel, has
concluded his address to the jury. He
began immediately after court con
vened at 10:30 o'clock and spoke con
tinuously until 12:30 p. m., when he
asked for a recess, completing his ad
dress late in the afternoon.
His entiwfe time the second day of
his argument was devoted to analyz
ing Harry Thaw's mental condition
and the progression of his feelings
against White as shown by the testi
mony of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and
Mrs. William Thaw. He declared
Thaw undoubtedly was insane on the
subject of Stanford White.
Mr. Delmas detailed at length the
effect of Evelyn Nesbit's story "jn
Thaw's mind, reading extracts from
the evidence of Thaw's wife and that
of his mother and commenting on it
as he proceeded. He declared thai:
with Evelyn's story working in his
mind Tbfew could think of nothing
else. lifer story haunted him always
and he feli that he had a mission to
fulfill. Mr. Delmas again bitterly de
nounced Stanford White and declared
that "Thaw had snatched the girl
from the old lecher who saw in her
but a toy to gratify a moment's lust
and then be cast aside to go her way
down the paths of fallen women." He
called the jury's attention to the fact
that as late as May, 1906, Stanford
White had told May MacKenzie he
would yet get Evelyn back. He pic
tured Thaw's excitement on hearing
this and said it was cause for the
young husband to lose his reason.
In concluding his remarks on the
mental condition of the defendant at
the time of the shooting of Stanford
White Mr. Delmas said:
Direct Appeal to Jurors.
"The man who had brooded on this
subject for three years, who had pic
tures of dreadful horrors haunting
him by day and in the stillness of the
night could not be human to retain
the caimness of his reason. Gentle
men, place yourselves in his place
picture to yourselves the horrors he
went through and do justice to Harry
Thaw."
Mr. Delmas then described the
events of the night of June 25, when
Stanford White was killed, and in
proof of his contention that Thaw was
insane reviewed exhaustively the tes
timony adduced on this subject. Re
ferring to Thaw's actions immediately
following the shooting he said:
"Thaw stood as a priest might have
stood after some ceremony of sacri
ficial offering, saying 'All is over' and
dismissing the congregation. He
turned his pistol barrel down to indi
cate to the audience that there was no
da*!reerT^(i the™\
Mr. Delmas' closing was an almost |,
direct appeal to the unwritten law.
He referred to it as the species of in
sanity which made the American man
believe his home and the honor of his
wife and daughters to be sacred—
that species of insanity which had
been recognized by courts in every
state of the Union.
Mr. Delmas was interrupted in his
closing by an objection by Assistant
District Attorney Garvan. His plea
was In, however. He said he left
Thaw's fate in the hands of the jurors,
with every confidence that he would
be acquitted, under that golden law—
the oldest law of all—the foundation
of all laws—"do unto others as you
would have them do unto you."
COMPEL HIM TO ANSWER
Commerce Commission Will Proceed
Against Harriman.
Washington, April 10.—The inter
state commerce commission has de
cided to institute proceedings in a

taken as soon as the special counsel
for the commission, Messrs. Kellogg
and Severance, can prepare the neces
sary papers.

•AILS TO SEE PRESIDENT
Ura. Von Clauuen a Caller at th«
White House.
Washington, April 10.—Mrs. Ida M.
von Clausaon, who made a complaint
to. the state department against Unit
ed States Minister Graves at Stock
holm because he declined to present
her to King Oscar, was at the Whit®
House during the day In an effort to
obtain a personal Interview with the
president to state her case. This was
refused her, whereupon she left with
.ne officials a letter of which she fur
nished a copy to the press. In this
she "begs President Roosevelt to at
once appoint a committee of experts
to make sure that she is of sound
mind before she proceeds further in
this case," for she knows well, from
previous reports, that when President
Roosevelt is cornered he has a habit
of appointing such committees to help
him out of his difficulty. Therefore,
not caring to lay herself open to fur
ther criticism, Mrs. von Claussen de
mands that, such a committee be ap
pointed at once, otherwise she will call
the experts in herself.
When Mrs. von Claussen appeared
at the White House Secretary Loeb
delegated his assistant, Mr. Forster,
to talk to her, though it was evident
that she was very much disappointed.
No reply will be made by the White
House officials to the letter she left
for the president.
VARIOUS REQUESTS MADE
Many Delegations of Cubans Call on
Secretary Taft.
Havana, April 10.—Secretary Taft
was busy all morning receiving com
missions. One, composed of prom
inent citizens of Matanzas, presented
a petition for the removal of the gov
ernor of Matanzas province and tho
municipal authorities of Matanzas
city, claiming that fair elections were
an impossibility while these officials
remained in office.
A delegation from the Planters'
league called upon the secretary and
expressed the hope that no elections
would be held at an early date, saying
that such a process would prevent
them from obtaining money from the
bankers.
A committee of Insurgent generals
called and asked for the removal of
the municipal officers of the cities of
Havana, Marianan and Batabano,
claiming that ex-President Palma il
legally substituted the present officers
for regularly elected officers.
RESULT OF TWO-CENT FARE
Railroads May Abolish Commutation
Passenger Rates.
Chicago. April 10.—Commutation or
suburban passenger rates in Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania may be abol
ished in the near future. This is the
principal subject to be considered at
the coming meeting of the Central
Passenger association, comprising all
the railroads in the territory bounded
on the east, by Buffalo and Pittsburg
and on the west by Chicago and St.
Louis.
The reason given by the railroads
for abolishing the cheap rates now
made for monthly and twenty-five ride
tickets to points within about thirty
miles of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pitts
burg, Buffalo, Indianapolis and other
cities is that they are obliged to make
2 cents a mile the minimum as well
as the maximum rate in Ohio, Indiana
and Pennsylvania in order to avoid a

SMATHERS KEEPS THE CUP
Jury Decides Major Delmar Won Big
Race Fairly.
New York, April 10.—Elmer E.
Smathers will retain the gold cup won
by his horse, Major Delmar, in a race
with Lou Dillon in 1904 as the result
of a verdict returned by the jury in
the suit brought by the Memphis Trot
ting association.
The Memphis Trotting association
sued to replevin the cup on the ground
that Smathers had engaged in a con
spiracy to put C. K. G. Billings' mare,
Lou Dillon, out of condition by the
use of a drug. No evidence was given
to show that a drug was administered
other than that Lou Dillon quit unac
countably during the last heat and
the testimony of a former trainer as
to an alleged attempt to corrupt the
trainer of Lou Dillon.
Denied Admission to Society.
Webb City, Mo., April 10.—As a re
