Since you know the truth so well3

Yes, your eyes have OFT betrayed you;

All that you could whisper now

But repeat it, anyhow.

Learned Counsel Calls 1t "Dementio

With dramatic emphasis Delmas
cried out that when Harry Thaw be-
held Stanford White on the Madison
Square roof garden the story of his
Wife's wrongs overcame him. He pic
tured in an instant, as a dying man
may picture, his past life = all that
Stanford White had done-"the ruin
he had wrought, and he struck; struck
as the tigress strikes in defense of her
wrong; struck for humanity and Stan
ford White fell. All, gentlemen, il
Harry Thaw believed he was the in
strument of providence, who will say
he was mistaken"
Delmas discussed but briefly the tes-
timony of the expert witnesses, de-
claring that whatever weight might at
tach to their utterances was on the
side of the defendant. He declared
the burden of proof as to Thaw's SAN
ity at the time Of the homicide rested
with the prosecution, which had failed
to make out its case. 1t was in dis
cussing Thaw's mental state that Del
mas came at last to the ''unwritten
| law" He declared the experts had
| been at a loss to classify the form OF
insanity from which Thaw suffered.

clared. Il would call it 'dementia

the species of insanity which makes

LABOR TROUBLES At L0RAIN
State Arbitration Board Withdraws

for Awhile-Company Gains In
Workmen.
Cleveland, April 10.-Plans for set
Eement by arbitration Of the strike of
the employees of the American Ship
building company have been aban-
doned and Joseph Bishop, secretary of
the state board Of arbitration, has
withdrawn from the negotiations and
returned to Columbus. Secretary Bish-
op declared before his departure that
he had given up hope of an immediate
peaceable settlement of the strike diff
ficulties.
Officials OF the union demanded that
they should be treated with by the en-
ployers as union. This President
Wallace, of the American Shipbuilding
company, told Bishop he would not ac-
cede to. 1t was the refusal of the Off
Gals to recognize the union officially
that precipitated the strike. The COM
pany is gaining, as 127 men have re-
turned to work. The labor leaders are
pleading with the men to stand firm,
and the company is looking for many
skilled non-union workmen to begin
arriving on Thursday.

rome Speaks Today.

New York, April 10.-One more day
and the concluding chapters of the
trial of Harry X. Thaw for the MUIR
der of Stanford White will have been
written into history. With an oratori-
cal appeal to both the written and the
''unwritten law" for the justification
of his client Delmas concluded his ex-
haustive summing up address to the
jury. When court convenes this morn
ing District Attorney Jerome will go
before the jury and in a three or four
hour address Is expected to make a
plea which will be accounted one of
the best efforts of his life.
May Go to the Jury Today.
Justice Fitzgerald would not say
whether or not he would charge the
| jury directly following the district at
torLey's closing remarks, but the gen
eral impression Is that he will do So
In that event there seems little doubt
that the case will be turned over to
the jury by this evening. With the
exception of the moments when he was
reading from testimony Delmas' speech
was one Of sustained oratorical effort.
He threw about the form of Harry
Thaw the cloak of chivalrous knight
hood. Why" he said, should we
who admire the chivalry of the knights
of the middle ages who went about
redressing wrongs and rescuing maid
ems in distress withhold our sympathy
from this brave manF'
Stanford White Bitterly AssaiIed.
Bitterly the attorney again assailed
Stanford White. He declared White
sought to play with the girl so long as
her beauty remained, and then would
have thrown her away, like dirty
rag to float down life's sewers to a
grave in the potters field" Again he
said: Harry Thaw had snatched the
girl from the old lecher who saw in
her but a toy to crafty moments
lust, and then be cast aside to go her
way down the paths of fallen wo-
men"
