New York, March ?, 1907.
~ IsTRICT ATTORNEY WILLIAM
TRAvERs JEROME. who is
conducting the prosecution of
Harry Kendall Thaw, besides being an
able disciple Of Blackstone, is a past
master in the art OF cooking. Possibly
there is nothing, aside from grilling a
witness. from which the stalwart law
yer derives more pleasure than in
broiling a steak or preparing some
fancy dish. Jerome likes to fry, boil
and broiI, and It is said while he stands
over the gas stove in the kitchen of
his apartment doing spring chicken
or a canvasback duck to nicely he
often thoughtfully outlines hii cam
paign for the following day. Mr..
Jerome and his able helpmeet live in
a small apartment uptown. The home
OF the prosecuting attorney, while 1t
consists only of a few rooms, has all
the modern luxuries Sometimes after
a strenuous days battle in the court
and after he has given audience In
his office on the third floor of the
supreme court building to persons rep
resenting every occupation in life' Mr.
Jerome boards a subway car and, go
ing to his home, with the assistance
of Mrs. Jerome, prepares the evening
meal. The maids in the Jerome apart
ment are always in clover when the
lord of the household is seized with
the notion to cook. The maids simply
have to see that the steak or roast
is ready. or that the vegetables are
within reach for the soup. THE $l2,OOO-
a-year cook" as Mrs. Jerome calls ner
husband. is as fastidious about his
cooking utensils as he is with the
seasoning of a Welsh rarebit or salad.
His assortment of pans, gridirons' pots
and steam cookers is said TO De tne
most modern to be found in any new
York grill room. Mr.. jerome Is also
of a mechanical and inventive turn OF
mind. and some of his kitchen utensils
were devised by him. The knife with
which Mrs. Jerome prepares his roasts
and chops for cooking was ground down
by him, the blade having originally
been that of wide, old-fasnloneo
bread knife. Frequently the man VINO
is now fighting to send Harry X. IhaW
TO the chair at Sing Sing invites a
few of his intimate friends to his fiat,
where he prepares dainty supper, or
dinner. for them. While at home he
delights in discussing cookery, out
when away from his office he abso-
lutely refuses to talk law.
