NEW YORK, April 15.-Dclphin M
Dclmas. the noted advocate from Cali
fornla, Is irrcvocably out Of the Thaw
case.
THIS is the new chapter in the sen
satonal trial Of the slayer OF Stanford
White that was written in q consul
tation of the friends of Harry Ken
dali Thaw.
1t was said after the consultation
that Mr.. Delmns had agreed that. in
view OF the frequent misundcrstand-
ings as to the seniority OF counsel,
the case OF the prisoner would be best
served by his withdrawal.
Following on the heels of this an
nouncenent came the statement from
Pittsburg that Attorney John Maroon.
one OF the leading criminal lawyers
of Penn sylyania. would be Thaws
chief counsel when the case is again
heard.
This report is given credence here
because It Is believed that Harry
Tiaw has authorized Roger O'Mara,
former Chief of Police of Pittsburg.
TO obtain for him the lawyer that, in
o'A1ara's opinion, is best fitted TO d.
rect his case.
Thaw the Ruling Spirit.
Thaw. since the beginning Of his
case, has been the ruling spirit in
the selection OF his lawyers.
lIn almost absolutely dictated the
course OF tho trial. and would have
ruled 1T without interruption but for
the firm mind of his mother
Thaw drew up. an agreement OF the
counsel as he thought would be best.
He designated Hartridgc as chief
counsel, Gleason as the insanity cx-
pert, and Dclmas as the jury ndvo-
cate.
The story goes that the partially
OF the prisoners mother for the
genius OF the advocate from the West
created Jealousy on the part OF the
New York lawyers.
Before tho trial progressed far It
waB developed that Lawyer Gleason
had in his possession Thaw's VIII and
his letters, which became g. part Of
i.he trial Lawyer Hartridge had the
letters from Stanford White to Evelyn
Nesbit. Each Of these gentlemen, 1t
is SAID, held to these documents as
though they had been personal prop
erty, and refused to let the other
counsel have access to them.
The report goes on to say that Mr..
Lelmas was greatly Handicapped by
the frequent adverse comments OF the
other lawyers upon his conduct of the
case. This. the report says, is the
reason for his retiring.
Evelyn to Remain in New York.
Young Mrs. Thaw was very posi-
tive In her declaration to-day that she
has no intention Of leaving New York.
and that she would remain as the
chief consoler of her husband, Harry
X Thaw. until definite disposition Is
made OF his case.
She has notified the Hotel Lorraine
management that she will retain he r
present apartments permanently. She
has also retained the same electric
cab she has used in the past to take
her to the Tombs daily.
Friends OF tho Thaw family said to-
day that Evelyn Thaw would not de :
part in the least from tho almos t
scmbre attire she has worn.
Since the tragedy of last summer
Mrs Thaw has had but one new dress
made, and that was the tight fitting
little brown frock she donned after
she had appeared on tho Witness stand,
but it was as simple and schoolglrlish
ns the blue one she Wore while on
tho stand. :,
The elder Mrs Thaw. the Countess OF
Yarmouth and Mrs. George L. Car
negie have not decided what they Will
do in the immediate future. At fam
lily conference to-day it was decided to
ences and any possible court action
in tho next few days before making
definite plans for tho future
The Daily Mail says:
