 HIS ATTACK Jerome Gets Ready For
 Fray. HE HAS NINE ALIENISTS Cenfers With Doctors Throughout the Saturday Recess. District Attorney Has Decaded To Fash Case To Termination Ana Be- heves He Can Tear Dowr
 Evefyn's story.

New York, March s,--with the real work of the prosecution still ahead or him, District Attorney Jerome spent many busy hours today preparing TOT the States case in rebuttal, which will begin Monday morning with the re- sumption of the triaf Of Harry IA
 Most of the day the district attor- ney was closeted witn nine alienists, six new experts having been summoned into consultation with Drs. Flint, Mac Donald and Mahon, who have been present throughout ene tria1 Tn sne In- terest of the prosecuTIon, MT. Jerome declined to disclose the identity of the new members to his force of alienists. 1t was said that they will assist the district attorney in preparing hypo- thetical questions
 It was currently reported today that MT. Jerome had firmly determined to nush the case to a conclusion and not fo ask for a lunacy commission All the members of the district attorneys atafs are sanKuine that their chief VIII ha able te throw sufficient doubt upon uvesgn Nesbtt Thaw's story to at least 1cfd to discredit her ip the eyes of the jury and they further declare that MT. Jerome hopes to have preponder- ance of expert testimony on his side of the case--testimony showing that Thaw acted as a sane man when he shot and killed Standford White and has continued to act ss a sane person ever since
 The case, from todays developments, promises to resolve itself at least Into a battle of experts ana this means that there Is absolutely no way of predict ing when the end will come. If Mr. Jerome calls three of his nine experts to the stand-it ts more than likely he will cali flve--it means series of intermInable cross examination by Del phIn M. pelmas, the leading counsel be given an opportunity to match his medical knowledge against the very thorough understanding of the subject displayed by MT. Jerome.
 In For Long seige.
 The trial will enter its eight week Monday and the unexpected must oc- cur in order to bring about It's con cIusion before April l. Those who have heon following che case were sss-~e,ai af an early reTtuinatiou until MT Seronis seaAx went into confer hope was abandoned. -------,---~
 Harry Thsw today gave out state- ment In denial of the reports that his sister. the Countess of Yarmouth, had determined there should be a separa- ton of Harry and l.Ss wife as soon
 
 that he loves his wife more than ever and that his sister made absolutely no such statment as was credited to her. The statement IS as follows:
 T wish to deny emphatically as pos sible the published report that my sis ter, the Countess of Yarmouth, is de- srous of bringing about a separation between my wife and me at the con- clusion of the trial Perfect harmony exists between my wife, my sister and myself as indeed, between all the mem bers of the family. Such a thing as a separation has never oeen and never will be considered by me or any of my relatives
 The Countess ow Yarmouth Is very friendly with Mrs. II. K. Thaw and i holds her in the highest esteem. "As for myself. my love for my wife | is greater than it ever was before, If 1 that is possible. l hope that this denial 1 from me will forever set at rest the absurd story of possible estrange- ment
 "It is peculiarly regrettable to Mrs, Thaw and myself that such a story | should have emauated from the source 1t did"
 Much interest attaches to the form of the hypothetical question which the district attorney will propound to his experts. Mir. Delmas seemed to in- clude every fact connected with the case in his Hypothetical question and the defense alientsts gave 1t as their opinion that Thaw was not only insane when he killed White, but for two months thereafter. If the alienists oa | the State can take these same facts ] and reach a diametriculiy opposite op- inion. the jury will have to take it's choice and place its own view upon the value of expert testimony.
 Detectives attached tn MT. Jorome'S office have been sent out for every per son mentioned by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw in her testimony and efforts will be made to round them up. high and low, and to secure every bit Of outstanding evidence that may bear fin any measure upon the rebuttal of Thaws wifa's | story. It Is hardly likely that any o1 these persons will bo called upon tu testify. for 1t is doubtful if they can be called under the rules of evidence Rut information they can give to the district attorney, he thinks. wtu be 8 valuable asset to the peoples case.
 DcImas Goes To Jersey. i NIT. Delmas went to New Jersey laSl night and wilt be the guest of Dr Britton T.. Evans one of the defenses ailenists over Sunday. He is particu- lariy fond of sloiRhing and will devote most Of his timo to that sport. The ] other CounSeA Ack INV NoAFHHS VIII dISu go out of town over Sunday. District Attorney Jerome will not leave the city but it was announced that neither yr Jerome nor his assistant MT. Garvan. will have anything to say about the case during tho adjournment
 When tho trial Is resumed on Mon day morning, 1t will be five weeks since the actual taking of testimony began and seven weeks since the case was first called in court The expense. botn to the state ana the defense has been very heavy, particularly to the defense AS an instance it may be mentioned that | Dr. Britton n Evans, the principal alienist is reported as receiving $z0d a day; Charles C. Wagner received Sl5O day and Dr, Graeme M. Ham | mond and Dr. smith Jelliff, S1O0 a day
