caused much curiosity and with what

and every eye was upon him. He look.

greeted his wife and mother. Jerome
began speaking.
Recess was taken at o'clock until

jury that neither. the personality Of
Thaw's pleaders nor himself was In
the issue. At length he defined the
case as an issue solely between the
State Of New York and Harry X.
Thaw, an issue to uphold safety and
the right Of the State and the case
must be decided on the evidence.
Jerome then declared the evidence
showed that what the defendant did
