ONLY A POSSIBILITY THAT De.
PENDANT WILL BE CALLED
IN THAW CASE.
'.F1Y WITNESSES TO Be EXAMINED
PRESENTATION OF THE DEFENSE
LIKELY TO CONSUME ABOUT
THREE WEEKS.

New York, Feb. 4.-Oficial denial
has been made of published report
hat 1t has been definitely decided to
nave Thaw go on the stand In his
own defense. A. Russell Peabody, OF
Thaw's counsel, said the report was
not borne out by facts and that no
decision on that point, one way or
the other, has yet been reached. He
said there is, of course, a possibility
that the defendant may become wit
ness, but whether or not he will do so
probably will depend largely upon
the course taken by the prosecution.
Mr.. Peabody said he could hardly be-
lieve that the prosecutions case Will
be completed in a day, as announced
by Mr.. Jerome. He said, however,
that If this is done the defense Is
ready to proceed with its case at any
time. He declined to make any state
ment concerning the plans OF the de-
fense.
Mr.. Peabody had long conference
with Thaw in the Tombs during the
day. After the conference Mr.. Pea
body said that Thaw and his relatives
are delighted with the jury and that
his counsel will oppose any further
effort to make changes In 1t. He
added:
THE presentation of our side OF the
case probably will consume three
weeks. We have raft Of Witnesses
about fifty In all. How many we shall
call depends on the developments OF
