BLOW FOR DEFENSE
COURT ALLOWS THE BRoTHER-IN
LAW OF STANFORD WHITE
TO TESTIFY.

New York, March 13.-District At
torney Jerome has played his strong
est card in his effort to convict Harry
Thaw Of the murder Of Stanford
White, This evidence came to his
knowledge but a few days ago and
caused him to abandon the idea Of
sending Whites slayer to madhouse
and to try for a straight out convic-
tion under the criminal statutes. The
evidence came from Mrs. Stanford
Whites brother, James Clinch Smith,
who told a remarkably clear, succinct
story of the events Of Madison Square
Garden the night White was killed and
of q long conversation he had with
Thaw just prior to the shooting.
It seems that Thaw sat for some
time with Smith during the fateful
first performance Of "Mam'selle Cham

variety of topics In a manner, Mr..
Smith declared, such as any sane man
would talk Mr.. Smith gave the con-

With the brother.in-law Of the man
who was so soon to be victim OF his

street, common acquaintances, plans
for the summer and many other
things, including "buxom brunette
whom Thaw declared he was anxious
to have Smith meet. Thaw said he
and his wife were going abroad later
In the summer. There was no hint
anywhere in the repeated converse
tion Of Thaw's intent to inflict bodily
harm upon anyone. Mr.. Smith die
say, however, that Thaw, not having
a reserved seat, roamed around the
garden and continually looked in the
direction of the spot where he subse
