PROSPECT OF SENSATIONAL TRIAL
Whatever decision Mr.. Jerome arrives at re-
garding the trial of the case. II is believed that
the trial will be one of the most sensational
that this city has ever had. Detectives are
busy not only for the prosecution, but for the
defence and are literally securing the Tender
loin and the Broadway district, looking for evil
! dence against White and Thaw, as the case may
! be. The names of men prominent in public life
! are said TO be intimately associated with White,
| and these men, unless something comes UP to
| intervene, the trial judge excludes all such

| Thursday Witnesses by the dozen. 1t is under
stood, have been subD9naed for testimony.
They not only include eyewitnesses or the
shooting but friends. both male and female. OF
the defendant as well as OF the murdered man
The particular occasion for their being sub
poenaed is 10 prove that White made offensive
references to Mrs. Thaw whenever he saw her
in public.
The prosecution will also make strong point
of what took place Martins restaurant on the
night of the shooting. Among those whom the
prosecution examined yesterday were In lnas
w McCaleb, Californian who was one OF the
Thaw party at the Cafe Martin on MONDAY
night. He accompanied Mr.. and Mrs Ihaw TO
the roof garden after the dinner, and was with
them most of the evening. 1t was ne VINO

having her sit in a corner for time 10 recover
her composure escorted her OFF the Garden fool'

not only of the dinner, but of everything that
he knew and that took place afterWard
Truxton Beale one of the White party at Mar
tins, and an intimate friend of young Lawrence
White. also a witness, and told or whae he
knew of that evening.
William NJ. K. Olcott did not devote ruch Oh
his time yesterday TO Thaw personally as ne
was too busy with other ends of the case JUST
after the pleading Mr.. Olcott told IhaW;
MY engagements so many to-day tnat
will not be able to you. Mr.. McManus WILL
however be in and of the Tombs. and you
tell him anything you want to.
MRS THAW TELLS COUNSEL ALL.
Mr. Olcott did not explain to Thaw what he
had TO do, but in reality he had arranged Tor
long conference with Mrs. Evelyn Florence
TEaw which lasted for several hours. she
reached Mr.. Olco;,'s office shortly otter lO
o'clock and remained there until after O'CLOCK
which made it, under che prison rules too late
for her 10 visit her husband. Mrs Thaw. 1t IS
understood told her husbands counsel every
thing that she could think of concerning her
friendship with White and her subsequent meet,
"A
that she said, which the defence Will keep as
thei~ most important evidence.
Judge Olcott. in speaking about the case ana
letters he had received. said:
p to the present time 1 have received
moe than thousand letters from persons
living in OF near New York furnishing disCredit
able t.. ornation about Mr. Whites manner of
life | would not have been surprised If had
received few of such letters, in view of
the wide interest in the case. but had no idea
that such letters would reach me in numbers
more than thousand.
Last night took home as many of these let
ters as I could carry in large grip. and spent
the night going through them. selecting those
which may be used in the defence OF course.
the information conveyed in the letters will have
TO be investigated carefully That is all I can
say about the letters at present.
Asked about the possibility Of a speedy trial.
Mr. Olcott said
'It is really immaterial to me whether there
is speedy trial or not Non1inally in a case OF
this Importance the trial would be delayed until
the fall, but I am ready to present it inmedi-
atelv"
The bringing into the case of Anthony Com
