Switzerland and Paris-Case May
Go TO the Jury Next f fday.

/ ent plans of the lawyers for the defense
and prosecution the case should so &c
the jury on Friday.
Four more experts are 20 be called by
the defense, and judging from the man
ner in which District Attorney jerome
conducted his examination of four alien
lists. called~by the defense this afternoon,
Jerome should get through with the ex-
perts some time to-day. No other wit
nesses will be called by the defense. it
was said by one of the lawyers tonight.
1t was the intention to call Evelyn Thaw
again. but that idea has been dropped.
Jerome does not intend 10 call any more
witnesses.
Should Jerome get through with his ex-
animation Of the experts Before the day 5
session Is over Delmas viii ask for an
adjournment until Wednesday. when he
will sum up He Will probably take most
of the day. Then Jerome viii take the
following day. and on Friday the jury
should get Justice Fitzgerald's charge.
The affidavit made by Evelyn Nesbit in
Hummers Office, when she returned from
Europe in 1903. was admitted in evidence
and read to the jury to-day. It took days
Of fighting on Jerome's part TO get the
affidavit in evidence, but he finally ac-
complished his purpose. Then he closed
the peoples case on rebuttaL
some Contradictory Statements.
White is not mentioned by name in the
affidavit That is one OF the significant
things The other Is that Hummel is re
ferred TO in the affidavit. She speaks of
turning over to him, as her counsel, ca
Diagrams witch she received from ThaW.
When he was on the stand Hummel
swore that he was acting for Stanford
White. and that the relation OF client and
counsel never existed between him and
Evelyn Nesbit
After the affidavit had been read. Del
mas introduced the record Of Hummel's
conviction for conspiracy IN connection
with the Dodge-MOrse marriage and di-
vOTce tangle In that case Hummel pre-
pared "a false affidavit Delmas' object
was TO show that Hummel was not
worthy of sbelief He planned to put
Young Mrs. Thaw on the stand to contra
diet Hummel, but later in the day he
made up his mind that the jurors have
seen enough Of the young woman.
Three DOOrmen Testify.
The three doormen OF the Tenderloln
station. who were on duty when Thaw
was locked up there after he shot White,
testified for Thaw this afternoon. They
swore that in their opinion Thaw was
irrational after the shooting.
-Four of the allenists for the defense
swung into line to-day. They testified on
the same hypothetical question that Je-
rome prepared. that Thaw did not know
he nature OF his act. and did not know
t was wrong when he killed White Je-
rome did not make q long examination OF
any Of them.
