REMINDS JURORS OF
THE OATH THEY TOOK
also He Asserts That the
N Jury is Not Trying a
Rape Case, But a
Murderer

{strict Attorney Jerome sum up the
states case against Harry K. Thaw,
the slayer of Stanford White Jerome
began his address at 11:40 by telling
the jury they had been wandering
through the fields of romance for two
days He said the case was not one
of rape but of murder.
Only One Of Four verdicts.
Jerome said the appeal to the sym
4 pathy passions Of the jury was broad
departure from the duty of the coun-
sci. There could, he said, be but one
3:of four verdicts-murder in the first
degree murder in the second degree,
manslaughter or mot guilty because
of insanity"
Warns Jury Of Oath.
& Jerome referred sarcastically to
a"dementia Americana" asking If 1t
was q higher law under which men
may faunt a woman through the capi-
/, tails of Europe for two years as his
mistress and then kill, He warned the
Jury It would be violation Of their
oath to consider adementia Ameri-
cana" declaring 1t had no status on the
Atlantic seaboard
jerome Roasts Evelyn.
Jerome made a fiery attack upon
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, referring to her
sarcastically as the "angel child" and
saying she seemed always ready to go
to the Human Ogre who had stripped
her Of her virtue"
He said 1T seemed to him the voice
of the murdered White was crying out
to him, Cant you say one word for
me, must | go down to the fires Of hell
unheard d-undefended.''
jerome denounced Evelyn's story as
false.
Calls DeImas Buffer.
Jerome said he had offered the evil
dence of the photographer wno took
the pictures for which Evelyn posed,
but that it was not rendered with the
hope that it would be admitted, but
was "offered to call the cheap bluff of
my learned opponent from the Pacific
slope"
After an hours recess Jerome resum-
ed and took up the character Of Evelyn
Tnaw. He said ENelyn's diary was the
key to the whole story; that the police
had delivered the diary to him the
night before he put it in evidence and
that it did not come from Evelyn's
mother. jerome said:
I'VE all know what the life of the
stage is. What was Garland running
after her for? Why did Thaw send
her roses and $50 bills?
&, Goes to Jury Today.
New York, April 10.-Jerome finish
ed at 3:4S o'clock. Justice Fitzgerald
will charge the jury today
