DELMAS AT HELM.
California Lawyer Takes Charge OI
Defendants Case and Clearly
Proves His Ability.

New York, Feb. 7.--Thc defense Of
Harry n. Thaw. under the direction OF
Attorney Delnas. of California, began
to assume definite shape Wednesday
aud when adjournment was taken les.
timony had been placed before the
jury TO the effect that Stanford White

threat With The display OF a revolver;
that Thaws actions following The kill
ing of White on the roof OF Madison
square Garden was considered by sew.
eral eyewitresses to have been "irra.
uonal:" that an uncle of the defend.
ant was insane; that Evelyn Thaw
passed o note to her husband during
dinner at the Cafe Marti, the evening
OF the tragedy; that Dist lct Attorney
Jerome has this note and refused, on
the demand OF the defense, to intro.
duce It into evidence.
So far, indeed, had Thaw's defense
progressed that at the close of tie
days proceedings the announcement
was made by Mr.. Delmas that either
the wife or the mother of the defend
ant would be the first witness on the
stand to-day.
The threat against Thaw's life was
made two years and half before the
tragedy occurred. District Attorney
jerome objected TO the introduction of
the evidence, declaring the defense
was not understood by him to be one
Of self.defense.
Mr.. Delmas replied that the defense
Intended to take advantage OF every
legal defense allowed in the state of
New York, be It insanity, self-defense
or any other legitimate justification of
the taking OF human life. This was
but the first of q series of interesting
Tits between the district attorney and
Mr.. Delmas during the day and 1t was
agreed that Mr.. Jerome had found
Thaw's new leading counsel foeman
worthy of his best efforts.
The two men are of widely different
types--Mr. Jerome quick. passionate,
forceful, sarcastic and brilliant at ridi.
cule; Mr.. Delmas calm, courteous, re.
sourceful, witty, crafty and ethical, to
whom the district attorney was al
ways the learned district attorney"
There was never a deviation from this
method Of address.
Benjamin Boman, formerly stage
doorkeeper at the Madison Square
theatre, was the witness who told OF
Whites threat.

Nardaman yesterday, over the protest
of 1000 of her neighbors, granted Il
full and unconditional pardon to Mrs.
Angie Birdsong, who was convicted of
the killing of DR.. Butler in Copiah

tased practically on the unwritten law
The governor gave both sides a pa
tent hearing which lasted about two
hours. Both sides were represented
by attorneys. In granting the pardon,
the governor summed up the case as
shown in and out of the records. He
referred to the fact that DIR. Butler had
been the family physician and indica-
ted such a position gave him certain
/ influence.
The facts show that the physician
, talked about his relations with Mrs
