District Attorney Jerome IS adding
to his reputation by his work in the
Thaw case. There Is a lesson for
prosecutors in the preparedness vita
which he comes into the court room
and the searching manner of his
cross-examination. His handling OF
the experts introduced by the de-
Tense startled the people who read
the account of the trial. SO far his
examination Of Mrs. Thaw mas been
perfection, as far as the lay mind
cali see. Jerome has never tried mis-
case through the newspapers. His
intention even now battles the de-
Tense and a hundred shrewd newspa-
per men. He has the defense wayel-
ing between proving tnat Thaw wac
insane when he killed Stanford
White and proving that Tina wis sane
now. He has surprised everybody
with his apparent knowledge of the
life secrets Of Mrs. Tnaw, and yet he
has not wantonly hurt the woman,
who is testifying in behalf of her
husband. Whether ne viii prove that
Mrs. Thaw did or did not speak the
truth in her examination in chief.
counts for nothing. It is the duty of
the prosecutor to turn the x-ray on
her testimony, and Jerome promises
either TO strengthen or discredit her
story.
Il Is such prosecutions as this that
discourage crime. Thaw may come
clear. but Jerome's vigorous prose-
cution viii deter others, with a less
likely case, from following his ex-
ample. The grilling Jerome gave the
insanity expert will discourage the.
thrift Of professional witnesses, at.
least, in the criminal court of New
York.
Too often, prosecution is half
hearted. and yet, prosecutions should
not be carried on after the manner
of the advocate who believes that
the only virtue at the forum is to-
win The states attorney should
have no more desire to see an limo
cent man punished than to see a
guilty man go free lie is an officer
Of the court. or should be, and his
only duty Is to see mat the law isl
executed. and so he must refrain
from resorting to tricks to unduly
Influence the jury.
Right here in Kentucky we are
unfortunate. Each county should
have commonwealth attorney
with sufficient assistance to aid nim
in vigorously prosecuting every
criminal case. BY having a resident
commonwealth attorney in each
county. he would be enabled to keep
in personal touch with all the cases
at all times. As it is now, in a cir
cult. comprising several counties, the
commonwealth attorney must nee
essarily come into court often un-
acquainted IN many respects with the
details OF the case, the state Of pub
lie sentiment and the means Of Sc
curing the best evidence. He is un-
prepared. Such a system naturally in
ducez condition that Is worse than
being unprepared, the employment

There are two ways OF looking at
the two-cent fare question. If it will
destroy the profits OF the railroads
and cause a reduction in accommoda-
tions and safety, we prefer to pay a
cent more on the mile and travel less
frequently. but more comfortably.
But in Ohio, the pioneer two-cent-
fare state, the cost of travel has
been reduced one-third and the trav-
ell increased about one-haf, so that
the railroads are taking in more mon
ey than they did at the old rate.

Still Suffering From Effects of
Severe Strain
Jerome Has Her Tell of Cablegrain
Sent to White by Thaw From
Europe.
RETURNS TO STAND MONDAY

New York, Feb. 22.-At the Hotel
Loraina today 1t is reported that
Evelyn Nisbet Thaw mas in a meas
ure recovered from the break down
yesterday. but from private source
It is learned the girl really Is on the
verge Of a nervous collapse. There
is good reason to fear she may give
way under the strain and will be un-
able to return to the stand. Even
though she masters herself by Mon
day It is the great fear of her hus-
bands attorneys that in her extreme
nervousness she may become con
fused and allow herself to be entan-
gied in cross-examination.

point where the defendant has been

GER
After bringing out that ner re,a-
tions with White continued for some
time, Jerome went deeper Mrs.
Thaw admitted that in 1903 after
her return from Europe she spent a
night at Thaw's apartments in New
York aud that for weeks he and she
occupied connecting apartments al
the Grand Hotel in this city.
Mrs. Thaw frankly admitted that
the champagne she had declared mad
tasted bitter the night she became
in the mirrored bedroom
was no more bitter than any other
champagne she had drank. Mrs Thaw
made what was considered perhaps
ner most damaging statement to the
defendant when she said that he had
showed her copies of caDlegrams be-
ing sent White from Europe asking
MIN to use his influence with a cer7
tain man IN London to prevent Mrs.
Nesbit from raising a fuss" and
interfering with Evelyn in continuing
in the company of Thaw.
Mrs. Thaw also was forced to adj
nit that when she and her mother
went abroad with Thaw in 1903 they
were still drawing upon the bounty
of White. Evelyn declared that she
had a letter of credit for $500 or
$500 which was given her by White
and which she later turned over to
Tnaw There was still balance in
the Mercantile Trust company to
her order also.
