BUT DELMAS WILL Be PREPARED,
Rumored That Thaw's Family Are
Working For a Separation Of
Couple In Case OF AcquittaI.

| New York, March S-The defence II
the Thaw case rested today immediate.
ly after the converting of court and ar
adjournment thereupon was ordered
until Monday morning next at 1876
O'clock. District Attorney Jerome said
that while he had been informally
notified yesterday afternoon of the
changed plans of the defendants
counsel he had come to court today
expecting to be confronted by addition
al expert testimony as to Thaw's state
of mind. His witnesses were not ready,
he added, and it was upon this repre-
sentation and with the freely granted
consent of the defence that the ad-
| journment was taken.
The court proceedings occupied less
than five minutes and District Attorney
Jerome returned at once to his office
| and began preparing his campaign of
| rebuttal testimony. Almost his first
| move was to have n subpoena served
| upon Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw requir-
! irg her to produce in court any letters
she may have in her possession writ
! ten by Stanford White. The district at
| torney had May Mackenzie notified to
be in court Monday prepared to go up
on the witness stand. Miss Mackenzie
had been under subpoena by the state
ever since the trial began. She is the
intimate friend of Thaw's wife and
during the first stages of the trial the
two were insepara bic. Lately, however
Miss Mackenzie has been seen but sell
dom about the Criminal Courts build
ing There is no intimation that the
young women have quarreled-Miss
Mackenzie probably found her position
rather trying sitting day after day in
the witness room with the Thaw fam
lily.
1t is also said that Mr.. Jerome has
summoned Mrs. J. J. Caine of Boston,
who already has testified for the de-
fence. Among the other known wit
nesses for the state are Drs. Bingham
of Pittsburg and Deemer of Kittining.
Pa. the Thaw and Copley family ply
sicians. The defence originally sum-
moned these physicians. but Mr.. Jer-
ono has publicly stated that the doc
tors can give very important testimony
which the defence has failed to devel-
Oh. The prosecutor has stated in court
that he will call as an expert DR.. Allan
McLane Hamilton, who. at first. was
in the employ of Thaw's attorneys. but
left the case when Thaw dismissed the
firm of Black. Olcott. Gruber &
Bonynge. who were retained in his be-
half by his mothers legal advisers.
Drs Austin Flint, Carlos Macdonald
and William Mabon have been in the
employ Of the state ever since the
Thaw trial began and have attended
every session. They are prepared u
testify at moments notice.
Just what District Attorney jerome
intends to prove or will be allowed to
prove on rebuttal, remains as deep
mystery as ever. The prosecutor him
self is probably at loss to know how
far he can go in attacking Evelyn
Thaw's story and in adducing evidence
tending to contradict and discrodit her
Mr.. Delmas for the defence probably
will make Mr.. Jerome's progress diih-
cult by continued objections. The
rules Of evidence invoked in the ThaW
case differ materially from those III
any recent murder trial in this jurisdic-
ton and it has been evident from the
