JEROME DROPS FIGHT;
 TRIAL PROCEEDS MONDAY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY DECIDES NOT TO APPEAL TO APPEL
 ATE DIVISION.

Accepts Finding of Thaw Commission
 in Lunacy After Consultation With
 Judicial Friends--Case Now to be
 Pressed Forward to an Early Ver-
 diet or What Is Regarded More
 Likely, Disagreement of the Jury
 Delmas May Argue Two Days.
 New York, April 5.-The trial of Har- ry K. Thaw will proceed on Monday morning when Dolphin M. Delmas, the leading counsel for the defense, will be- gin his summing up address to the jury. District Attorney Jerome decided late to-day not to apply to the appellate di- vision of the supreme court for writ of prohibition or mandamus to halt the trial. He reached this decision. it is said, after a consultation with eminent counsel. Mir. Jerome may argue briefly on Monday morning against the con frmation of the report of the lunacy commission which declared ThaW to be sane, but he is aware that Justice Fitzgeralds S disposition is to confirm the report which was unanimous, The district attorney still has many wit nesses under subpoena but it is said that he has decided not to call them and will press the trial forward to an early verdict or what is regarded more likely, a disagreement of the jury.
 When Justice Fitzgerald yesterday declined to. grant the district attorney accession to the minutes of the lunacy commission. MT, Jerome threatened to carry the matter to the appellate divi- sion on the ground that he had been excluded from the final examination of Thaw by the commission, He said he had been willing to waive the right to be present, with the understanding, of course, that he was to be allowed to have possession of the testimony. He had promised the commission not to use this testimony against the prisoner in any way at his trial,
 Immediately after yesterdays ad- iournment, Mir. Jerome set about to seek for precedents upon which to base his application to the higher court, He was at his office again early this morn- ing and then went to the appellate di- vision building. Instead of applying for a stay of the trial, however, MT Jerome sought counsel among his judicial friends, and 1t is said to be upon their advice that he reconsidered his deter mination to press the matter.
 Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton was on the stand as witness for the defense when the trial proper was halted more than two weeks ago. In order that the

Boise, Idaho, April civilian D. Haywood, secretary of the Western Federation of Miners, in prison here in connection with the assassination of ex-Governor Steunenberg, commenting upon President Roosevelt's reference to him in the recently published letter to J. S. sherman of New York, about the Roosevelt Hartman episode, has made the following statement:
 q do not desire to make an extended statement with regard to President Roosevelts' reference to me in his let ter to Congressman sherman. The president says that l am an undesira- ble citizen,' the inference being that, as such, I should be put out of the way. His influence Is all powerful, and his statement, coming, as 1t does, on the eve of my trial for life, will work me irreparable injury and do more to pre- vent fair trial than everything that has been said and done against me in the past"
