"Ah. gentlemen" the advocate went
on, If Harry Thaw believed he was
the instrument of Providence, who
will say he was mistaken?'
Delmas discussed but briefly the
testimony of the expert witnesses, de-
claring that whatever weight might
attach 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.
In discussing Thaw's mental state,
DelmaS came at last to the "unwritten
law" He declared the experts had
been at loss to classify the form OF
insanity from which Thaw suffered.
Il will suggest its name" he de
clared. II would call it dementia
Americana. 1t is a species Of insan'
ty which has been recognized in
every state of this union. II is that
species of insanity which makes the
American man believe his home, his
wife his daughters, are sacred, and
that whosocyer stains the virtue Of
his threshold violates the highest OF
human laws
Twice during his closing periods
Delmas was interrupted by Assistant
District Attorney Garyan, who sug
gested the argument was taking toe
wide a scope, and Justice Fitzgerald
called Deimas' attention TO the fact
Thaw seemed to be in the best OF
spirits and declared TO his lawyers
in the 1ombs that he felt his case
was won. He seemed to have nc
dread OF the assault Of the district at

rome was i'll, but no appeared at his
Office and said he had been busy twl

HERMANN STILL ON The RACK
Former Land Commissioner Is Put Un.
der Cross-Examination.

Washington, April lO.-Interest in
the trial Of Binger Hermann for de-
stroying public records received a de-
cldod impetus when the defendant,
WHO had been testiiying in his own be-
half for the past five days, was put
under crUss-cSaminatiOn shortly before
the close of court.
After saying positively that no
members OF his family had acquired
public lands during his administration,
Mr.. Hermann qualified the statement
later by admitting that his son,
Schiller had made a homestead entry,
TO which title had not yet been ac'
quired, that Schiller had purchased
three such entries before patent had
issued to the claimants and that these
purchases had been acquired for 49,.
900 in gold by the defendant to re-
lieve Schill,r's embarrassed financial
condition.

hood-Jerome viii Make Closing
Address to Jury Today.

New York, April 10.-In an eloquent
appeal, both TO the written and un'
written law, Dolphin NJ. Delmas com
mtted Harry X. Thaw's fate to the
jury. The California attorney con.
cluded his five-hour summing up
speech. declaring his client was justi.
fed in killing Stanford White.
Justice FITZGERALD would not say
whether or not he would charge the
jury directly following the district at
torneys closing remarks, bat the gen
eral impression is that he will do so,
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 knghthood. Why, he
snouted, should we, who admire the
chivalrv of the knights OF the middle
ages. who went about redresslng
wrongs and rescuing maidens in dis
tress. withhold our sympathy from
this brave man?"
Bitterly the attorney assailed Stan
ford White. He declared White sought
to play with Evelyn Nesbit 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 pottersfield."
With dramatic emphasis Dclmas
cried out that when Harry Thaw be,
