RESUME OF THAW TRIAL.

District Attorney Jerome appealed
to the court to stop the Thaw trial,
declaring Thaw was insane and In
capable OF directing his counsel. The
jury was excused for two days while
the court inquired into Thaw's mental
condition and decided whether or not
TO appoint a commission in lunacy.
In the Thaw trial the case for the
people was closed by the introduction
of the Hummel affidavit, In which Ev'
elyn Nesbit accused Thaw Of repeat
edly stripping and lashing her brutally
when they were In Europe together
According to Hummel, Miss Nespi'
also swore she would not sign state
ments which Thaw had prepared ac
cusing Stanford White of having
drugged and ruined her.
With Attorney Delmas fighting
every inch of the way, District Attor'
ney Jerome secured from Abraham
Hummel his complete story as TO the
affidavit which 1t Is alleged Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw made In the lawyers Oh

with beating her when she told MIN

Roosevelt are not exempt from the

COMMENT ON THAW CASE.
English Newspaper Breaks Rule To
Discuss MiIIiOnaire's Trial.

London, Feb. 10.-The Daily Mail has
succumbed to the intense interest taken
here in the Thaw trial. and. abandoning
the strict English principle that there
shall be no comment upon case before
the courts until it is finished prints an
editorial on the subject. It says:
Not often in the sordd history Of crime
has a murdeT trial been followed by all
sorts and condition of men with the deep
and sustained interest which the pub
lie of two continents is displaying in the
case of Mr.. Thaw. This interest is in
telligible and easily explained It does
not lie in the squalid, repulsive features
of dismal story. but rather in the fact
that for the first time a millionaire Of
immense wealth, with all the power
money gives. is being tried as a feIon
for a capital crime-the alleged murder
of another millionaire and man Of genius.
% Laws, said Anarcharis. the Scythian,
are ike cobwebs. in which small flies
are caught and from which the great
flies break away and this cynical view
of American justice has some truth i'm II.
in view of the fact that there is not
an instance on record where Il man of
great wealth has been sent to execution.
while there are some very recent and
notorious examples of rich criminals es-
Gaping.
Yet it must also be remembered that
at no previous period have the Ameri-
cans shown such animus against wealth.
But there is another feature of the case
which compels attention. VIGOROUSLY.
Mr.. Thaw intends to plead in some form
or another, justification by the unwritten
law
His line Of defense is plainly indicated
IN the terrible evidence given by Mrs
Thaw. Accepting her story as truthful
the problem becomes this; Is man JUS
titled for love OF q woman, his wife,
in killing another man, who. as he be
lievcs, has inflicted on that woman the
most cruel wrong imaginable. a wrong,
too, which the formal processes of the
written law cannot adequately punish
