New York, Feb 18.-A serious diff ference among the lawyers who are engaged in the defense of Harry Thaw was patched up last night and 1t is probable that for the remainder of the trial there will be at least an assured truce among them. For a time 1t looked as if the trouble had reached stage where Dolphin M. Delmas, who has conducted the de- fense. would withdraw from the case. but 1t now appears that he will go on. The intercession of Mrs Will liam Thaw. the defendants aged mother, is said to be responsible for the patching up of the quarrel.
 An open rupture among the law yers would be a very serious matter for Thaw and realization of this fact doubtless had much to do with the settlement of the difficulty.
 There is little fear among the at torneys on either side of the now famous cause that Juror Joseph B. Bolton will cause a mistrial. Both sides are confident that he will be willing to go on the with case when court convenes this morning in spite of the grief occasioned by the death of his wife, whose funeral occurred Saturday.
 A mistrial would be a serious mat ter. particularly for the defense, for besides the enormous amount of money already expended by both the defense and the prosecution. the case of the defense has been we'll exposed and if the whole matter had to be gone over again tho prosecution would have the advantage of know ing exactly to what the principal witt nesses for the defense will testify. Again 1t would probably take many weeks to secure another jury be- cause of the enormous interest mani fested in the case by the public and the great detail in which it has been reported by the newspapers.
 The alienists. Dr Britton D. Evans and Dr Charles c. Wagner, will re- sume the stand to-day and will re- peat the conversations they had with Thaw in the Tombs during the period when they believe he was of unsound mind. It is believed by the attorneys for Thaw that these conversations will show without question that Thaw's mind was not in a normal state. not only at the time of the kill ing. but for many weeks afterward.
 The problem of the defense will by no means be finished with the proof that Thaw was insane when he fired the shot that killed White. Then will come the task of proving that he is sane now, that the trouble was only what the alienist described as al ''brain storm" and that now that his vengeance on the object of hatred has been wrecked. his brain has re- covered its ordinary calm. In other words. the defense must prove that Thaw was insane and then sane again. for he is as anxious to escape the asylum for the criminally insane at Mattewan as he is to escape the death chamber at Sing Sing.
 It is hardly probable that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will go on the stand again to-day. pr Evans and Dr Wag- her will probably take up most of the time even if Mir Jerome postpones his cross-examination. as he probably will do. In addition to this the de- fense will again make an attempt, which will probably be successful, to introduce the will which has caused so much argument. If, however, there is time Mrs Thaw will continue her story and the defense will again | attempt to secure the courts permis- | sion for her to tell the jury what | Thaw told her of other young girls | who, he believed. had suffered at l Whites hands.
