 Probably be the Trial Judge--Thaw's
 New Counsel Says the Accused is q
 Nervous Wreck.
 New York, Nov. 1S-District Attorney Jerome said tonight that the trial of Harry Thaw would be moved for the first week in December. He stated that the judge who would try the case had not been decided upon, but that it probably would be heard before Re corder Golf in the court of general ses- sions. MT. Jerome said that he would conduct the prosecution, and would be assisted by District Attorney Garvin.
 Tn my opinion Harry Thaw is a nervous wreck. Judging from my sim gle interview with him, which took place yesterday afternoon, the young man is laboring under great excitement, and is evidently of highly nervous temperament"
 The foregoing statement was made to-day by D. M. Delmas, California lawyer, who has come all the way from San Francisco to defend the slayer of Stanford White. Considering the fact that a great deal has been written to the effect that the line of defense would be the invocation of the 'unwritten law" and that the plea of emotional insanity would be ignored, the state ment of MT. Delmas, who will try the case, seems to be an indication that plea of insanity will play an important part in the defense.
 MT. Delmas was seen at his new of fees in the Equitable building. In the course of the interview, Mrs. Thaw, ST, was announced, and waited to see the lawyer in an outer room. MT. Delmas will call at the Tombs this afternoon to hold a long interview with Thaw. Yes terday the lawyer did not call at the prison until o'clock, and was obliged to leave at o'clock, in accordance with the prison rule that bars all prisoners at that hour
 When asked as to whether there was any truth in the rumor to the effect that lawyer of note in New York city, and whose name had not yet figured in the case, would assist him in the trial of the Thaw case, MT, Delmas replied that so far as he knew the only law yers who would be actively concerned in the trial would be Clifford w. Hart T.1... Tlr1cea11 body and himself.
 ''It, is true" said MT. Delmas, that some time ago Joseph H. Choate was approached in behalf of MT. Thaw by his Pittsburg attorney, David T, Wat son. MT. Choate declined a retainer, John E. Parsons was also approached, but he declined to take the case on the ground that he was too old for such active service.
 Now, so far as know, there will be no other New York lawyer concerned. MT. Thaw was very anxious to see me, ? continued Mr.,Delmas, "so l called upon him yesterday at the Tombs. Not that I think it at all necessary for a lawyer to have much communication with a client in a homicide case, but simply because the young man was so anxious ito have an interview with me.
 T found that MT. Thaw was in a ter rible nervous condition. He was prac- tically a nervous wreck, in so far as I was able to judge. When I saw his mother last night told her that her son was undergoing tremendous strain. shall see the young man to- day, and shall go to the prison early, so we may talk without interruption"
