The defense in the Thaw case
rested yesterday Immediately after
the converting of court, and an
adjournment was ordered until Mon
day morning. Dist. Atty jerome said
That while ne had been informally motif
filed Friday of the changed plans of
the defense he had come to court
expecting TO be confronted by addition
al expert testimony. His witnesses
were not ready he added. 1T was upon
this representation and with the con-
sent OF the defense that the adjourn
nhent was taken.
The court proceedings occupied less
than Ave minutes and Mr.. Jerome re-
turned at once 10 his office 10 prepare
his rebuttal testimony. Almost his
first move was 70 subpoena Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw 10 produce in court amy
letters she may have, written by STAN
ford White.
The district attorney also had May
Mack enzie notified to be in court Mon
day, prepared to go upon the witness
stand Miss Mackenzie had been under
subpoena by the state ever since the
trial began. She is the intimate friend
OF Thaw's wife, and during the first
stages OF the trial the two were insep-
arabic. Lately. however, Miss Mac
Kenze has been seen but seldom ABOUT
the court. There Is no ntimation mat

Mackenzie probably found her position
rather trying. sitting day after day In
the witness room with the Thaw fam

Among the other known witnesses for
the state are Dr. Blngaman OF Pitts
