THAW, BRADLEY, BOWIE
CASES ALSO DEPENDENT
UPON "UNWRITTEN LAW

The Strother trial at an end. there are
at the present time three additional
cases before the public eye in which
the "unwritten law" is the loophoie

that this removal was occasioned by a

Similarly of Cases.
Jerome knew that emotional insanity

both Of these cases. but the willy district

the .'unwritten law would be the real
defense, and if Harry Thaw goes free

The court crier's voice fell upon a
silence so great, 50 sympathetic, so APP
pTehensive, that lis tones sounded for
the first time harsh. Justice Fitzgerald
gave a swift glance toward the door Of

and smooth as carried silk, appeared
at the opening. Above the white hair
was a broad black bonnet. from which
hung a shCrt black veil. that had been
tossed back. Jus an instant the face
paused there in The doorway. as a
picture in a frame, a white, fearful,
hesitant face, over which sorrow hung
as a veil. But the next instant Mrs.
William Thaw passed along the few
feet of open space before her figure
should be CbscUred by the tall back Of
the jury box.
1t was from this point that Harry
Thaw's wife had cast her glance Of
joyful relief and triumph toward the
prisoner when she was released from
the stand. To him now his mother cast
a look on her way 10 the stand. Not one
who saw that look but felt a lump in
l.
eyes. The love, the sadness, the hum

than The crier's voice.
