More Letters Introduced.
incorporated in the affidavit submitted
BY Jerome are the letters written by
Thaw to J. d. Lyon, his Pittsburg banker.

White was killed, and some of them since
ThaW has been in the Tombs. The con-
tenti0n Of Jerome is that the letters show
that ThaW is not of sound mind. There
are number of those letters. One of the
letters was written from the Republican
Club. It says;
