NEW YORK, March 2.-District At
torney Jerome is reported to have re-
ceived a letter to-day from Craig
Wadsworth. second secretary Of the
American Embassy at London. offer
ing information which is expected TO
produce one Of the greatest sensations
OF the Thaw trial. The letter was eX-
pected by Jerome and arrived on the
Teutonic which docked last evening.
Mr.. Wadsworth. who knew the Thaw
party during the now famous Euro
pean trip Of 1903, volunteers informa-
ton Of startling nature.
Word received here from friends OF
Wadsworth in London says the en-
bassy secretary has offered to make
a deposition Of the facts I'm his knowl-
edge for use by Jerome Mr.. Wads-
worth is said to have in his possession
numerous letters from Thaw clearly
indicating the insanity Of the writer
and of such a nature as to be inVal-
liable in clearing up hitherto mysteri-
Gus facts in the case
These Wadsworth letters are said TO
throw an entirely new light on the
tragedy. Wadsworth asserting that
jThaw was completely under the influ-
ence Of Evelyn. This might hint at
another motive for killing White.
The Wadsworth letters are regarded
as so valuable that il is predicted Jer-
ONE may ask that attorneys be sent
10 London to take Wadsworth's depo-
sition

It is a difficult matter TO follow Dis
frict Attorney Jerome IN his merciless
tearing apart of the expert testimony
Z of the defence and at the same time
ride herd on a client who is likely to
begin picking May flies off McPike's
whiskers at any moment
DR. Evans. moreover. fell into sew
eral traps yesterday. DR.. Evans con-
veys the impression while testifying
that he devotes far more thought TO
lodging the questions Of District At
torney Jerome than to answering them
and involved In a tango of questions
yesterday. he made several admissions
that rather undermined his opinion
that Thaw was crazy for one short
moment on the night Of June 25. and
then recovered his sanity in some mar
velous and inexplicable fashion.
These admissions were made yester-
dav by DR.. Evans
That Harry Thaw was suffering
from adolescent insanity in a much
more acute form in 1905.
That he suffered from an outbreak OF
adolescent insanity I'm 1906
At the same time he is prepared to
testify that Thaw is sane at this
TIM.
Mr.. Jerome's Position.
This line Of questions and answers
Indicated only one purpose. District
Attorney Jerome will meet the COM
tention that Harry Thaw was tempo
rarily insane when he killed Stanford
White by showing that he was as
sane then as he is now.
This will work both ways. and it is
how evident TO the most iaundiced Of
the yellow sympathizers with Thaw
that a commission to examine into his
sanity is the most likely outcome of
this trial at this time. Much will de-
pend upon Thaw's condition when he
comes into court ON Monday morning
II he goes back as rapidly as he has
done in the last three days it is quite
likely that there VIII be nothing for
Mr.. Jerome to do but to ask for a
commission at once.
