JEROME AND HIS LATE FRIEND
To a Man, 1t Would Appear That
Thaw Would Have Been Insane Had
He failed to Kill the Sweet Scented
White. y

The Harlequin March 2I: The longer
| the 1haw trial continues and the more
that pocket edition of Roosevelt, District
| Attorney Jerome, .'reformer" continues
to reveal his real character, the more. the
human race at this distance and in this
section wonders at the tone of public
sentiment In New York-in the views of
life obtaining therein the aspect OF
that highest social relation, the marriage
state.
10 us here, it is on plane of the
squabbles of negro quarters where
one colored 'gemmen takes up with an
other colored gemmen's wife, with the
attendant gllstenlng and cleaning of the
festive razor, with justice of the peace
sequel the next day: then haggle as to
which was right, the 'gemmen who had
done lost his wife or the "gemman
who has done took up wild her. =
The court story tells plainly that one
Thaw was legally married. 1t tells plain
ly that, after he was married. a man
who had been intimate with the woman
he married before the marriage, tried to
continue his relations with her. It tells
plainly that Thaw killed him. What the
devil else does a man who NEEDLES with
another mans wife expect! The veriest
blackguard here knows He expects not
to be detected, or death He knows it's
death of the woman tells on him!
And yet jury is gravely sitting on
the rights Or wrongs of this killing.
Law is trying to determine with the aid
Of "science-and frightfully contra
dlctory science, a science that is no
science in that nothing definite has ever
been learned Of the human brain
whether or not Thaw was sane or in
sane at the time of the killing.
To man, it would appear that Thaw
would have been insane had he failed to
kill the sWeet-scented White.
This hot air ''feformer,' Je.ome, too,
occupies the unique, and, to my mind,
unenviable dual position of representa-
tive of the State and personal represen-
tatrye-ln-yengeance of his friend, White.

star witness, in rather contradictory evi-
