JUSTICE PERMITS
Smith TO testify
DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEROME
WINS POINT OVER DEFENSE
IN THAW TRIAL.
DELMAS FIGHTS HARD
TO EXCLUDE STORY
Brother-in-Law of Stanford White
Tells of Conversation with the De-
PENDANT on Roof Garden on Night
of the Tragedy.

New York, March 13.-After counsel
had spent more than two hours of the
morning session of the Thaw trial in
argument Tuesday, Justice Fitzgerald
overruled the objection of the defense
in the matter of allowing District At
torney Jerome to continue his exam
ination of James Clinch Smith a
brother-in-law of Stanford White. The
objection had been pending since ad-
journment yesterday. Mr. Smith had
a conversation with Harry X. Thaw on
the Madison Square roof garden just
before White was killed. Mr.. Jerome
said this conversation had a very i'm
portant bearing on the case and he
had not learned of the conversation
itself until Smith returned from Eu-
rope last month, after the prosecu-
tons case in chief had closed.
Justice Overrules Delmas.
Attorney Delmas, for the defense,
fought the introduction of this testi-
mony to the last, but Justice Fitzger-
aid ruled that in the interests of JUS
tice it should be admitted.
Mr.. Jerome thereupon asked that
the taking of Mrs. Smiths testimony
be postponed until after the luncheon
recess.
A half hour of the morning session
still remained, so Mr.. Jerome called
another policeman who saw Thaw the
night of the tragedy and who declared
to-day that the defendant had acted
nationally.
Mr.. Jerome also called DR.. Carlton
Flint, to whom Evelyn Nesbit is said
to have gone in 1902 with Jack" Bar
rymore, the actor. Mr.. Delmas
promptly objected to DR.. Flint's testi-
mony on the same grouds that he has
offered against other evidence of col
lateral facts tending to contradict
young Mrs. Thaw's testimony.
The district attorney seemed to an
ticipate the objection, and said he did
not care to argue the point. Justice
Fitzgerald sustained the objection and
DR.. Flint was at once excused.
Smith Recalled to Stand.
Smith was recalled to the witness
was convened. He repeated his testi-
mony of Monday to the effect that he
reached the roof garden the night of
the tragedy at about 9:15 o'clock and
seated himself on the Madison avenue
side OF the hall.
while you were seated there -
asked Mr. Jerome. did you sec this
defendant enter?"

Now please describe in chronology

do and what you heard him say" said
Mr.. Jerome.
Mr.. Smith proceeded with some diff
ficulty as Mr.. Delmas objected almost
continuously.
He said Thaw told him of his plans
for going abroad later in the summer.
He also said Thaw roamed about the
roof garden as if looking for some one.
He went into the balcony and came
down again. He then joined his party
and all started to go out. In a few
moments there were three pistol shots
and Stanford White was dead.
Mr. Delmas concluded his cross-ex-
animation of Smith in few minutes,
having developed nothing new. Mr..
Eckmyer, photographer, was sum-
moned to the stand. Eckmyer took
the Evelyn Nesbit polar bear pictures.
Court adjourned at 2:46 p. m. until

Proposed Law Which Had stormy Pas- sage Through House Threatened By senate--DeIeEation Argues
 For LegislntfOn.

The John anti-lobby bill was endors- ed yesterday by the Judiciary Commit- tee of the Senate. Rumor has 1t that that bill had a close vote in the com mittee and that the Chairman had to untie an even vote to secure favor able report.
 The measure was introduced by Rep. ersentatiye Sam will John of Jefferson County. It aroused much excitement and interest during its stormy career tn the House. It was in effect, reject cd by the House in it's original form and sent back to the committee. where 1t was considerably modified. Even in that form, 1t was fought Tn the House. and indications are 1t will meet with some opposition in the Senate. This much at least was indicated in the Senate Committee yesterday.
 The Judiciary Committee also endors- ed the Lusk judicial bill. This bill seeks to redistrict the various judicial circuits of the State, and Is considered one of the important measures of tho session.
 A delegation Of prominent business men of the State appeared before the committee and spoke In favor of the hulk sales hill The bill deals with the sales of stocks of goods owned by in- solvent persons or firms. It provides that a stock of goods shall not be sold unless the creditors are given i've days notice. A favorable report was g1vep 1t.
