An Incident in the Thaw Case.

London, March s. Reference made
today by the society newspaper, The
Throne, referring to the fact that sec
rotary Of one of the important embassies
in London has been involved In great
scandal and calling on him to resign his
position, has caused q sensation here.
While no name is mentioned, and the
embassy Is not mentioned, the article Is
generally understood to refer to the un-
named secretary of the American EN-
basy who Evelyn Thaw testified had an
noyed her mother In London In 1908.
l. was 10 make this man stop his an
noyances that Evelyn declared the
cableerams we're sent to Stanford White
from B ulogue, asking him to use bis
l. fuencs 10 see that Mrs. Nesbit was left
alone.
Under the heading "An Embassy
Scandal The Throne" says:
The association OF the name Of the
secretary of one of our most important
embassies with q great social scandal
cannot be allowed 10 rest Neither the
King of England. nor the head Of this
mans country can allow such conduct
to be tolerated, no matter how rich and
influential his mother may be. That a
man acting In 40 ofic al capacity should
so take advantage of his position and go
unpublished Ia enough to make every
father, mother and husband shudder.
The great colony among US, to whom
this man belongs, knows his name, and
It Is for him to recognize his position and
20 home. II be does not, his ambassad' 7
must sct, and If the ambassador hesitates,
BIS master should withdraw him. 1t IL
idle to suppose the matter will blow
over"

ants 10 event OF conviction, but in case
Of an scquittAl the State pays the cost.
This case Is on oil fours With that OF
J. Samuel McCue, former mayor OF
Charlottesville, who was convicted and
hanged last year. In that case the cost
amounted to s., 500, while the expense
OF this eGEs Will amount to about
$40, 900, the bringing of the Tenire from
another county being a big item. IT Is
stated that, in addition, the trial will
cost the Stro:hsr brothers nearly $40, 600.

TOday's Photographic News
The ThaW Trial.

New York, March S.-An adjour-
ment until Monday vas granted at the
request of the District Attorney 10 the
ThaW trial two minutes after the opening
of court today. Delmas had Just an
nounced officially that the defense rested
its case. He agreed to the adjournment.
When Thaw's trial was resumed to-
day, after yesterdays recess, it was with
every prospect of bitter fight between
the opposing lawyers. The sudden and
unexpected move OF the defense In send
ing word late yesterday afternoon to Je-
rone that Il would rest its case with
Mrs. William Thaw as the final witness,
had taken the district attorney COM
pletely off his feet.
Jerome before court opened frankly
admitted he was surprised He was not
even sure he defense would stick 10 this
plan, and would not outline what he in
tended to do until he heard the an
nouncemept In court.
AS he looked for the examination OF
experts to continue several days, Jerome
was not prepared fully 10 b. gIn bis re-
buttal he was prepared to ask con-
tinuance until Monday to get his case
r'ady. D-lmas, on the other hand was
just as determined to oppose this and
force Jerome TO begin mis- counter-attack
at once.
Justice Fitzgerald in bis ruling on
Mra rhaw'g testimony in substance
held that Thsw's present sanity Is
not In issue.
1t is believed this had something to
de with the change OF front OF the de-
tense. Believing they had proved the
prisoner insane at the time of the tragedy
aud through the judges ruling being re-
lieved of the necessity of proving him
sane now, 1t was decided to rest.
Jerome has expressed his willingness
to meet the issue of freedom or death
for Thaw, declaring that on the evidence
as it Is now 10 he will send the case to
the jury and not ask for lunacy COM
mission
According to a report in criminal
court building today Evelyn Nesbit Tha~
will be recalled to the stand early next
week as q witness for the State. Shr
cannot be used In rebuttal of her owD
testimony, but will be asked to introduce
certain letters. It is said at the Office
of the District Attorney that My Nc.
Kenzie will be the FIRST witness called
on Monday.
In case of the acquittal ofThaw, 1t is
stated verdict could be returned In one
Of three forms:
First-Not guilty; second--net guilty
on the ground Of insanity at the time OF
the act: third not guilty on the ground
Of insanity.
On either Of the first two forms Thaw
would be set free. With verdict of the
third form, Thaw would be left In the
custody of the court and 1t would becom'
the JUSTICES duty to commit him to an
asylum. Before determining the institu-
lion of confinement, the court could con-
for with Thaw's family as to the best
place to send him.
Evelyn Nesbit Thsw was served this
afternoon at the Lorraine Hotel with a
subpoena duces tecum. II is supposed
the writ commands her to produce in
court any letters written her BY Stanford
