District Attorney Jerome here inter-
posed an objection against any further
examination of the witness, on the
ground that the testimony he could give
would be of collateral relatives OF the
defendant. and he did not think the
! matter should be further gone into I'M
til counsel brought authorities TO sus-
tain their position. Justice Fitzgerald
upheld this contention, and said the
witness could be recalled at any time
provided the authorities to be cited by
the defense should prove the court in
error In shutting out testimony as 70
any but descendants in a single line,
/ Such as mother. father. grandmother,
grandfather and So on.

Delmas is Angry.
Scarcely had court adjourned when
there was a conference of the defend
ants counsel and it became known
that certain of the attorneys were not
well pleased with the DAYS develop
ments- Dolphin NJ. Delmas, upon leav-
ing the court room, had declared fatty
that he was dissatisfied with the days
proceedings. and intimated that he
was surprised that the conduct of the
defense. for the day. had been intrusted
to John b. Gleason rather than to HIM
self
DR.. Charles c. Wiley. the Pittsburg
physician who testified for the defense
and was so sharply cross-examined by
District Attorney Jerome, should not
have been put on the stand today, Mr..
Delmas said. and perhaps should not
have been put on the stand at all.
II expected To go on and conduct the
case today" Mr.. Delmas added. II
was surprised that Mr.. Gleason should
have done it."
1t had been rumOred in the court
room that Thaw was pleased with Mr..
GleasOn's address to the jury on Mon
day and that he directed that Mr.. Glea-
son should take charge of the case to-
day.
Attorneys in Conference.
Thaw's attorneys were closeted at
Attorney McPikes office we'll into the
evening, but nothing definite as to what
transpired was made public.
When. after the lawyers had left,
Mr.. McPike said:
The lawyers for the defense held a
conference at which the plans were
gone over There was really nothing
Of Importance done"
"WiH Mr. Delmas withdraw from the
case tomorrow morning if Mr.. Gleason
continues the examination?
''As to that" replied the lawyer,
you VIII have to wait until court opens
and see fer yourself what goes on. I
can say nothing about it at the present
time"
Mr.. McPike was then asked if he was
satisfied with the manner i'm which the
case had been conducted so far He
replied:
Today Will Tell the Tale.
Really. don't care to say anything.
What will be done Will he made known
tomorrow morning, and you Will have
TO wait until then"
After the trial had adjourned Lawyer
McPike visited Thaw in the Tombs. He
talked with the prisoner for about fif-
teen minutes, and when he left he re-
fused to make any statement.
Later a note was sent TO the prisoner
asking him if the report that his law
yers had disagreed, and his reply was:
mo. there is no truth in the report.
1t is all nonsense"
Thaw did not appear worn from his
tedious day in court If he was dis
appointed i'm the proceedings he did not
give evidence of the fact.
Asked what ne thought of the day in
court he replied the day had been
apparently satisfactory" 81
