The train consisted of a double
header motor coupled onto one engine
drawing flve coaches. The first was a
smoker, the second is described as a

Between HI wreck OF the Current

rHAw FEARS LuS,cY TRIAL.
Jerome Believed to BE Heading that
WAY.

oSA hhs ~ 1890
Way.
Close observers OF the T'hnw trial
believe its present trend Is toward u
commission in lunacy, to determine
Harry Thaw's mental condition.. This
belief is suggested by District Attor-
ney Jerome's apparent Willingness to
admit part of the will, by his readiness
to withhold technical objections to the
testimony OF Thaw's family physicians
tending to throw light upon the de-
PENDANTS mental status, and by his
admitting without opposition the con
versations between Thaw and DIR. Ev-
ans when the latter was examining
the prisoner In the Tombs.
Counsel for Thaw are so gully con-
vinced that Jerome will make this
move that they are planning to fight
him on this line. Thaw himself IS
credited with having declared he
would not face the asylum in prefer
ence to the death chamber, so it can
be seen with what feeling this expect
ed move Of Mr.. Jerome is creating Ia
the camp of the defense.
One of Thaw's lawyers, in speaking
of the probable plan for a lunacy COM
mission, said:
W. have become more and more
convinced by the conduct of the dis
trict attorney and his experts, who are
observing the defendant, .thatait is and
has been his purpose to lead tic case
to the point where he a apply prop
erly for a commission in lunacy We
don't want the boy declared insane
We want him acquitted"
