Mr.. DeImas piped up that he had. II was
$3.50 a month and then increased. Before
that he did literary work.
Mr.. Jerome for about the fifteenth time
read the question and McCaleb looked at
Justice Fitzgerald then at Mr.. Jerome,
and finally at Thaw's counsel.
Il can give a layman's opinion, not an
experts opinion" he said
That's al" said Mr.. Jerome, sitting
down.
But Mr. Delmas wanted more from Nc
Caleb He wanted TO know about The
conversation with Mr.. Jerome. 1t was
several days after the shooting-eight or
ten days. AT an uptown club" said Nc
Caleb first. Then he said it was AT the
Union Club. He also made a statement
TO Mr. Garvan at the district attorneys
office. IT was sworn statement, and Mr.
Caravan very kindly sent # to him, he said.
and he signed Il. Then he returned ii to
the district attorneys office lie had seen
Il since.
Then Mr. Delmas inquired if there was
anything said on the roof garden about
leaving before the show was over or wait
ing until the end McCaleb said he didn't
hear any such conversation. There Mr.
Delmas dropped McCaleb. who wasn't en-
joying himself a bit. and Mr.. Jerome took
him up again. He showed him three
page typewriter document, which turned
out to be the statement ne made to the
district attorney. After the stenographer
had taken It down McCaleb made some
corrections in ink on it.
Mr. Jerome evidently thought that Nc
Caleb got copy of IL, but ne said he
had not. The statement was sent 10 Nc
Caleb at the Union Club, where he cor
rected it.
Mr. jerome tackled McCaIeb again. He
wanted 20 know the hour that he saw

not remember how late it was
How many drinks did you have?"
asked Mr.. Jerome, suddenly.

Caleb. apparently unconscious Of saying
anything funny. but instantly there was
an explosion I'm the courtroom. Justice
Fitzgerald sternly rebuked everybody
adding that If any improperly was called
TO his attention the person would be pun

What may / ask?' said Mr.. Delmas,
suavely. did the learned district attorney
take for a drink that night2'
II he can remember" suggested Mr.
Jerome

McCaleb.
Il will exclude this; I do not think il

Lionel Strauss, "a portrait painter. with
a studio at II Wet Forty-second street,
was on the roof garden the night White
was killed. He saw Thaw right after
the shooting
His face was very pale" he said His
eyes gave me the impression as if they
were bulging; they probably were not.
but the white was showing a great deal,
and his r4eHth was almost col0rless. a
very peculiar expression Of the lips that
would be remembered for some time"
DR.. Deemar Recalled.
Then Dr. John r. Deemar Of Pittsburg.
who was questioned by MIR. Gleason on
Tuesday, was called by Mr.. Delmas. Tie
knew John Ross. son of Washington. and
Margaret COpCly Ross the latter being a
sister Of Mrs. William ThaW Mr. Jerome
brought out that Washington Ross had no
common blood with the Thaw or C0pely
family after Mr.. DelmIs had asked if
Dr. Deemar had known the condition Of
mind Of John Ross FOR a number OF years.
Thereupon Mr.. Jerome objected to the adj
mission Of the testimony.
There was another long argument on
the subject as 90 whether the affinity OF
persons not directly Of the ThIw stock
should bee admitted. Justice Fitzgerald in
dictated that DE would decide that il was
not admissible unless e. was shown that
there was no insanity Ou the other line
connected with the Thaw stock. He re-
served decision ON the question, however,
