TO CALL MORE WITNESSES
JEROME MAY MAKE PROTEST

NEW YORK, April 6.-Now that District
Attorney Jerome has decided that he will
not apply to the appellate division of the
supreme court for writ of prohibition rel
alive to the report of the commission in
lunacy as to Harry X. Thaw's sanity, it is
almost certain the trial of this remarkable
case will duly proceed to its end There
will be no more Interruptions, it is said and
by Monday morning, when the proceedings
are resumed, both sides will have prepared
themselves fully for the final effort It is
said that counsel for the defense may call
one and perhaps two or three witnesses to
the stand on Monday morning Who these
witnesses Will be could not be learned. It
Is presumed that DR.. Allan McLane Hamil-
ton Will be one. but should this presumption
pe accurate II Is not anticipated that he
Will be questioned at any great length.
The other witnesses will be minor ones
and what they will be called sunon RI 40

cies In the testimony of previous w;tnasSas
AS soon as the last one Of them has les
the Witness chair Dolphin NJ Delmas will
announce, THE defense rests" and the ias
phase OF the trial will be entered upon Mr
Jerome having announced that he will call

May Make Protest.
1T Is almost certain, however, that tn
justify his position, Mr.. Jerome will make
prlef protest against the confirmation of
the report of the lunacy commission. He
Will do this with but faint hope of success
however, for 1t is believed to be foregone
conclusion that Justice Fitzgerald will con-
firm the commissions report
So far known, no prosecutino oas.ou
IN this jurisdiction has ever found him,
SELF In the curious position that District
Attorney Jerome occupies. Despite his
own Geep-rooted belief that Thaw is ire
sponsible and a paranoiac, Mr.. Jerome will
be compelled to impress upon the iurv that
II IS It's duty to find the young man eniItv
OF deliberate murder. e'
SINCE ~, ne has said that he will strive to
convict Thaw, the district attorney win be
forced to ignore all that he has said in court
and out OF 1t as to the prisoners mental
breakdown, and to argue simply that he
~ent up 10 STANFORD White on the Madison
Square Roof Garden that tragic June night
and shot him to death through motives of
revenge and jealousy.
Delmas' Speech Finished.
AS to the defense, Dolphin M. Delmas has
finished the preparation of his speech. He
had abundant time for this work, because
Mr.. Hartridge has done ad the work con-
nected with the relations of the defense
toward the lunacy commission.
AL of Thaw's lawyers profess to look for
ward to next week with the utmost conf
dence. Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw since the
menace of weary weeks of waiting involved
in Mr.. Jerome's threat to seek the appellate
division has vanished, Is cheerful again, as
is the prisoner. She visits Thaw In the
Tombs daily and spends as long a time there
as she can.
