New Defense Witness.
Dir, Francis landey aPtton. form
Ter president Of Princeton University,
Is the latest witness to be summoned
for the defense In the Thaw ca 2. Or.
Patton will probably take the witness
stand at the resumption Of the trial
ON MoadJg hi gAtifr regarding . let
ter which he received from Harry ri
Thaw few days after Thaw was
placed in the Tombs prison.
This letter. it is claimed. brings
out strongly the mental condition of
Thaw at the time it was written, and
has strong bearing on the nature
of his instantly and the causes which
brought it about In other words, II
will show, If Mr.. Delmas can have II
admitted in evidence, the motives
which impelled Thaw to shoot Stan
ford White.
DR.. Patton, ii will be recalled, Wis
tied Thaw in the Tombs a short time
after the shooting Tho defense will
claim that the letter is admissible as
vidence under the same ruling by
which when the trial came to a sud,
den half On Thursday, the converca.
tiOns Thaw had with Expert Evans
were about TO be given to the jury.

two of his agents. If they are per
mitted to testify they will add much
10 the sum total of tSanford Whites

mother Of the defendant, who will be
called to the stand early next week.
Concerning this testimony one Of
Thaw's counsel said today:
1T will show that Harry Thav
was doomed from his birth"
Jerome Has no Ammunition.
Certainly Jeromes own experts can
not be relied upon TO secure com |
mission through their statements |
'ince none of them has even been
able to examine Thaw at a closer /
: stance than thirty feet across the /
room. Not one OF th~m has ever
uoched Thaw or exchanged a word |
with him.
All Of the talk about a lunacy com /
mission has resulted from the man |
her in which Jerome has met the at |
empts Of the defense to get into the /
violence the conversations that ThaW I
rad with the experts who examined |
him. He repeatedly offered 10 al /
nit these conversations If the defense /
would c0ncede that Tbaw was insane |
