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

IN Biting Sarcasm he Repeatedly ne
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
said the case at trial was not one OF
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 a 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 "ange'
child" saying she seemed always
ready to go to the human ogre, who
had stripped her Of her virtue" He
said It 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
the 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 "a
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
"6t. 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 b.
unchaste, but It does not follow thai
he IL brute"
Taking up the character Of Evelyr
Nesbit Thaw Mr. Jerome said: 1--WE
all know what the life OF the stage is

IN THREE PLACES.

Prof. Willis Moore, chief Of the weather
bureau, met with a severe accident in New
York yesterday evening, breaking his arm
in three places. He is now back in Wash

satisfactory shape that he expects to be out

about 3 O'Clock. Prof Moore was running
to catch an express train that was Just
pulling out, and slipping at the top of, the
iron steps fell about ten feet to the plat
form below. He was-knocked senseless by
the fall. and there being no one on the
platform, lay there till the next train came
in, when some of the passengers helped him
up, and he found that his arm was broken
in three places below the elbow, two breaks
in the small bone and one In the large one.
He walked across the street to the Man.
haitian Hotel. where he again lost CON
seriousness. The arm was set by Dr. DAVIS.
the surgeon Of the hotel. The management
wanted to make him stay over night, out
he insisted on being put aboard the even
ing train for Washington, and arrived this
! morning. 49, :
The arm was dressed again at Pro.
Moore's home today by DIR. Macdonald,
and appeared to be in satisfactory condl-
ton. Not many people knew that the acci-
dent had happened and Prof. Moore this
morning transacted all of his office business
that was necessary at his house.

DISCUSSION OF DOCTRINE.
DR.. Hamlin's Sermon of Series or
PRESBYTERIAN Faith.

Rev. DR.. Teunis Hamlin at the Church
fifth of a series of sermons upon the ques-
ton, What Is Presbyterianism?" and dur
ing the course of his remarks said that
there are only two main topics of Prot
estant doctrine, named somewhat singu-
larly after their founders-Calvanism and
Arminianism-and between them the essen
tial difference is the difference of empha-
sis. Continuing, DR.. Hamlin declared that
both Puritan and Cavalier were Calvinists
in their religious faith, and spoke upon the
historic influence Of Calvinism in America.
In conclusion he said: "Calvinism stands
first and fundamentally for the sovereignty
of God; secondly for the freedom of man.
Arminianism stands first and fundamen-
tally for the freedom of man; secondly for
the sovereignty of God.
''On a purely rational basis these two
positions are irreconcilable. How God can
be sovereign and yet man be free 1t is i'm
possible to explain; but as matter of ex-
perience man is conscious of freedom, while
in the world of nature he sees God SOW
ereign. So these two apparently conflict
ing principles are like lofty columns that
rise and meet above our range of vision. We
Join in larger strength and unity and that
on them rests the whole great structure of
eternal truth.
'Calvinistic thought has at times been
led into an undue worship of logic, for
logic can never adequately express the per-
sonality of God, and logic has on occa-
sions carried the church too far
