Modern Method of giving you all the Credit you ask, like our fore-
fathers used to have when they "just charged" what they wanted.
We count more on our Plain good standing than others would.
It's the goods we sell, not the popularity attached to the name,
"Smith's." You get the popularity of trading at "Smith's" thrown in ,
with the low "Smith's Prices." They are the prices that make other
dealers cut theirs when "Smith's" is considered.

BATTLE OF ALIENISTS
TO ENLIVEN THAW TRIAL
Jerome Consults Six New
Experts for the State's
?i Rebuttal
NO LUNACY INQUIRY
District Attorney Will Strive
to Show White's Slayer
"Was Sane
NEW YORK. March 9.— "With the
real work of the prosecution still
ahead of him District Attorney Jerome
spent many busy. hours today prepar
ing for the . State's gcase in rebuttal,
which iwill begin Monday morning with
the resumption of the trial of Harry
X.: Thaw before Justice Fitxgerald.
Most of the day the District Attorney
was closeted with nine alienists, six
new experts having been summoned
into consultation with Drs. McDonald
and Mabon. Jerome declined to dis
cuss, the identity of the new members
to his force of allenlste. Their advent,
it was said, was to assist the District
Attorney In preparing his hypothetical
questions which he will put to the ex
perts when they go upon the witness
stand. *
It was currently reported today that
Jerome had determined to push the
case to a conclusion' and not to ask
for a lunacy commission. All the
members of th» District Attorney's
staff are sanguine that their chief will
be able to throw sufficient doubt upon
Evelyn Thaw's story to" at least tend
to discredit her in the eyes of the
Jury, and they further declare that
Jerome hopes, to have preponderance
of expert testimony, on! his side of the
case — testimony ' showing -that Thaw
acted as a sane man when he shot
Stanford White and had continued to
act as a sane person ever since.
The case from today's developments
promises to resolve itself at last into
a battle of experts, and this means that
there is absolutely no way of predicting
when the end will come. '
The trial en Monday will enter its
eighth week and the unexpected must
occur in order to bring' about its con
clusion before April 1. v
Harry K. Thaw gave out -a statement
: today in denial of the reports spread
abroad to the effect that his sister,' the
Countess of Yarmouth, had determined
that there should be a separation of
Harry and his wife. He declares he
loves his wife more than ever, and that
his- sister made no such statement as
was credited to her.
"Perfect harmony exists between my
wife and myself and my sister, as,.in
deed, between all members of my fam
ily. Such a thing as a separation,"
said Thaw today, "has never been and
will "never be considered by me or any
of my relatives. The Countess of Yar
mouth is very friendly with Mrs. Thaw
and holds her in the highest esteem."
Much Interest attaches to the form
of hypothetical questions which the
District Attorney will ask his experts.
• Delmas seemed to Include every fact
connected with the case in his hypo
thetical question, and the defense
alienists gave it as their opinion that
Thaw not only was insane when, he
killed Stanford White, but for two
months thereafter. If .the alienists for
the State can take" these same facts
and .reach a . diametrically opposite
opinion the Jury will have- to take its
choice and : place its own construction
upon the value/of testimony.
