JEROME VERY BITTER
Mercilessly Attacks Evelyn Thaw
in His Address to Jury.
BRANDS HER STORY AS FALSE

On Biting Sarcasm He Repeatedly Re-
fers to Defendants Wife as the
"Ansel Child" and to Thaw as the
Modern "st. George"
New York. April 11.-District Attor-
ney Jerome began the address for the
prosecution in the Thaw trial at 11:40
a. m. All previous crowds were In
significant compared with the mob
that stormed the doors for admission
to the courtroom and every inch OF
space was utilized for the accommoda-
tion of spectators.
Mr.. Jerome began his address by
telling the Jury they had been wan
dering through the fields OF romance
for two days, referring to the time
occupied by Attorney Delmas In his
plea for the defendant. Mr.. Jerome
rape. but one OF murder and declared
that an appeal to the sympathy and
passions Of the Jury was broad de-
parture from the duty of counsel. There
could, he said, be but one Of four ver-
dicts-murder In the first degree,
murder In the second degree. man.
slaughter or mot guilty because Of
insanity"
Continuing, Mr.. Jerome referred
sarcastically to "dementia Ameri-
cana," asking II 1t was the higher law
under which man may faunt the
woman through the capitals Of Europe
for two years as his mistress and then
kill. He warned the jury that 1t would
be violation Of their oath to con-
slider "dementia Americana" declaring
1t had no status on the American sea-
board.
Fiery Attack on Evelyn.
Mr.. Jerome then made fiery at
tack upon Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, refer
ring to her sarcastically as the "angel
child" saying she seemed always
ready to 60 to the human ogre, who
had stripped her of her virtue" He
said II seemed to him that the voice
of the murdered Stanford White was
crying out to him: Cant you say
one word for me? Must do down to
tho fires Of hell unheard-unde-
fended?"
Mr.. Jerome went into the details Of
the evidence regarding Thaw's &C
tions and words after the killing Of
Stanford White and said that there
was not one thing that did not show
absolute calmness. coolness and rar
tionality.
Referring to Evelyn Thaw's story
on the stand the district attorney de-
clared It was false. He spoke with
much vehemence In defense of Stan
ford White and his words fairly bris-
tied with sarcasm when he had occa-
sion to refer to Thaw as the modern
"St George" and Evelyn as "the angel
child" He rounded out his defense
OF White with the declaration that "A
man may not be virtuous. he may be
unchaste, but II does not follow that
he is brute"
Taking up the character OF Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw Mr. Jerome said: I'VE
all knew what the life Of the stage Is.
What was Garland running after her
for7 Why did Thaw send her roses
and $50 bills!"
Nov then, we see that the whole
situation centers about this girl. It

Powder Not Used.

She wasn't armed: she went along as
blind"
Once more the line of Richardson's ques-
tons led back to Globeville. Orchard said
he and Joe" Mehalich had stolen some
powder to blow up the hotel or boarding
house. as suggested by Max Malich. The
powder was not used. Mehalich, Orchard
said. had helped to steal sheep and was
to take part in the Goddard affair
Richardson wanted to know If Steve
Adams had not threatened to put Orchard
out because he could not pay his board
bill.
NO sir. We quarreled.'
Yes. and it was about your board bill,
too sneered Richardson.
at was nothing of the sort retorted
Orchard, with a fash of anger. 1T was
because Adams had gone downtown. got
drunk and was put in Jail for a week. We
couldn't find him anywhere.
Adams had been found drunk near a
lamppost where a bicycle was standing.
On this circumstantial evidence he was &C
cused of the theft of the wheel, but the
charge was removed.
Orchard said he gave Adams 500 to get
him out Of town. This was because Hay
wood would not give Steve" any more
money Ito get drunk on.
Adams and Orchard parted company for a
while after this. The latter continued
to seek an opportunity to kill Judge God
dard.
Richardson brought a figure to the
case by asking Orchard in regard to his
acquaintance with Lottie Day. The wit
ness said he met the woman after going
to live at the Hotel Belmont, following his
break with Adams.
Before he could get" Goddard, Orchard
said that Meyer. Haywood and Pettibone,
all three. told him to go down to Canon
City to continue his attempts on Peabody.
The arrangement was made at Meyer s
home in the Aberdeen fats. This was the
first time Orchard had brought Meyer into
the case for a long while.
Orchard was about to go into the details
of the conversation with Meyer Haywood
and Pettibone, when court adjourned until
this morning.

ORCHARD GOES ON
WITH HIS WEIRD
STORY OF CRIME

Meyer. Pettibone and Haywood told him
at this time to go to Canon City. Col, to
get" Gov. Peabody. Meyers home was
In the Aberdeen flats. Orchard said he went
there of his own volition. He had not seen
Meyer for a year or more before this. The
matter came up or who spoke of 1t first.
Meyer said he wanted to get rid Of Peabody
so one else would follow in his foot
steps. Peabody had gone out of office at
this time.
Talked With Haywood.
Orchard said he talked with Haywood
and Pettibone at the latter's store. They
gave the same reasons for wanting to get
rid Of Peabody. Meyer also had feeling
Of personal enmity toward Peabody, Orch
ard said, but blamed him for being the
cause of his arrest.
Asked for Position.
Orchard said Pettibone asked him to get
a position life insurance solicitor before
going to Canon City. He got letters Of
recommendation from several persons.
among them Mr.. Hawkins, a law partner
Quoted the cross-examination Of Orchard.
Richardson wanted to know the circum-
stances of securing the Hawkins letter and
demanded to know If Orchard had not said
1t was necessary for him to get work in
order to support his family. Orchard said
he told Hawkins he was DESTROYS Of get
ting the position as a solicitor. The wit
ness said he met Hawkins at some trials
In Telluride and the attorney remembered
him. Haywood later told Orchard he had
made a mistake in getting letter from
Hawkins, for II anything happened in
Canon City it might involve the attorney,
who had been representing the federation.

reason that he took up insurance soieita-
ton.
The casing of the Peabody bomb, pre-
pared at Canon City, has been placed in evil
dence. Richardson wanted to know today
why the would-be assassin of the exgov-
ernor had made such a large bomb. Orch
ard said he had planned to place the bomb
outside the house and beneath the window
where Peabody often sat in the evening
The fact that the bomb might also kill
Mrs. Peabody and the children made no i'm
preston upon him at the time, Orchard
declared.
The witness said he made pretense of
insurance solicitation while in Canon City
and vicinity. He did not succeed in writ
ing any insurance policies. so he went into
the hail insurance business with man
from Kansas City named Vaughn.
This insurance of farmers against hail
storms was fake, wasn't it?" asked Rich

Corn and Whiskey

The Milling World" thus trac- es bushel of corn from the corn field to the drinkers glass
 The grower works at least two hoursin raising a bushel of corn. He sells it for 30 cts. He spends the 30 cents for two drinks.
 Now follow the corn. The dis tiller receives 10 cents gallon for converting it into whiskey, which is S1 70 per bushel.
 The government tax adds S3. oo to the cost. The bushel of corn now passes to the job salesman, and wholesalers, and through them to the retailers. By re ducing it's strength and increas- ing it's quantity by adding water and more harmful substances it affords 270 drinks, which at an average of l5 cents will take $40. 90 from the pocket of the consum- CT. What an amazing profit made by those who do not till the soil to grow the corn, but who multi ply infinitely the mischievous power of the grain, and reap such easy and large profits.
 Let us watch the boot-leggers. Some body is living easy with out work by plying this nefarious trade in our little town.

littIe Rock 5, Birmingham 4.

Getting an early lead, which was gradually cut down, and,then winning out in the eleventh by virtue of a record breaking heave by Gladys" Molesworth, is the story of how Little Rock annexed the second game of the series against Vaughan s Champions. When Rockenfield had SCOT ed with the winning run it brought to an end game full of everything which goes to make up baseball-from superb pitching to wretched fielding and wierd umpiring, all interspersed with a degree of uncertainty which had a tendency to keep the spectators on edge throughout Although the locals secured but six hits, and the visitors but five, the final score was , to 1.
 McCatferty, Finn's $ Eastern League recruit, ,and Wilhelm were the rivals for pitching honors, and as far as the twirlerS were concerned, the game was great battle. Both were well nigh in vincible, but each experienced one bad inning, which helped to decide the game.
 Eyler and Engle will be the pitchers for Little Rock today, and will be opposed by Ragan and Turner. Stark, the new catcher, will work in one of the games and Captain Wood in the other.
