TO SAVE THAW
Decision to DO This is Made After
His Counsel Consult Him
in His Pen.
JERoME Yields a PoMT.
As to Matter of Proving Insanity IN
Branches of the Family Of
the Prisoner.
IRy Aasociated praau.l j

NEW YORK, Feb. 6-Interest In
the opening of the Thaw case today
centered in the maneuyers of the
counsel for the defense, who at the
end of yesterdays proceedings had a
consultation among thmselyes as 10
future conduct of the case.
1t was evidently decided TO put the
matter squarely up to the defendant
and before the court session began
today all six lawyers went into the
prisoners pen to discuss matters
with him.
All the members of the Thaw FAM
lily were in court except Mrs. william
Thaw, mother of the defendant, and
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. wife of the de-
fendant, both of whom were barred
by the rule excluding witnesses.
Delmas In Charge.
When the court session began
Jerome Withdrew his objection to In
Producing testimony regarding IN
sanity in collateral branches Of the
Thaw family. provided certain ques-
tions asked the witness yesterday be
withdrawn.
Attorney Delmas arose and said
the defense would withdraw the
questions and go over the matter
again. This action en-.the part OF
Delmas showed is>Ahd been decided
by the attorneys for the defense at
the conference to have Deimas take
charge of Thaw's case. In this
connection 1t was announced that
Delmas declared he would withdraw
from the case unless given a free
hand in conducting the fight for
Thaw's life.
The result OF yesterdays proceed
ings was anything but satisfactory
to all concerned in tie case.
Witness is Recalled.
The first witness called by Delmas
today was Benjamin Bolan. whose
was eAcluueu yesterday.
Bolan is stage doorkeeper at the
Madison Square Garden Theatre. In
his tertimony he said he heard stan
ford White threaten to take Thaw.s
life and communicated his threat to
Thaw.
White Threatened Thaw.
Bolan said White called at the
Garden Theatre where Evelyn Mes
bit was playing Christmas eve, and
after he was told young lady had
gone away with Thaw that white
displayed a pistol and threatened to
kill Thaw.
Jerome conducted searching
cross-examinatIon but the witness
held to his original story. Two
other witnesses we're on the stand at
the morning session, but their testi-
mony was not important. There were
several interesting Tits between Del
mas and Jerome. The latter @und
in the Californian a capable oppon-
snt.

such men now and then. They do net
need wealth or position, or a finished
education to complete their greatness.
They scatter sunshine and love wher-
ever they go, and their nobeness of
mind and character proclaims their
greatness in any company.
But what we are looking for is hard
to find. 1t has always been said there
is no mutual ground between good
and bad. If this is true, then we have
no average. If a man is good, he is as
good as the best; and, if he is bad,
he is as bad as the worst. By being
good one is on the road to greatness,
and once on the road to greatness, you
are treading on a road that has no end.
Man can reach any eminence he may
aspire to, but on reaching it there is
always something he can see little
higher and still higher until death ends
the play. After few decades or gen.
erations have passed he will be called
great.
Now let us take the bad man and
see what we find. When the gate is
found ajar and man ceases to be good,
he at first travels slowly as if in doubt.
He begins in small things to match his
cunning against the cunning of the Of
ficers of the law. If successful at first,
he keeps growing more bold and bold,
sinking by degrees until the gate is
pushed wide open. He has lost all
pride, all self-respect, cares for nobody
as he knows nobody cares for him. He
is all centered in self, his greed, and
his envy for the wealth of others. He
finally becomes lost to all the tender
ties of home and friends; gets dis
heartened and discouraged until he
has lost himself and the world.
| When man first appears on this
earth we find him good. Knowing
neither good nor bad and being all in
nocence, he must of necessity be good.
Then from whence and why comes the
change from good to bad? First let
us define the good man. He is one
who obeys the laws, who is just in his
dealings and truthful, in all he says,
and who is honorable in all he does.
When you find such a man, you have
found good man. So after going
over the ground 1 have come to the
conclusion that the average man is an
unknown quantity. G. II. w.
