One is not supposed to peddIe whisky

always been searched. but it is true
that many '+deIicacies' such as cocaine

JUROR WIPES HIS EYE.
DeImas Makes Affecting Reference to
Love of the ThawS

New York, April SIN the course
of his plea in defense OF Harry Thaw
when Mr. Delmas came to the point
where he argued as to the truthfulness
of Evelyn's story on the witness stand
he paid a glowing tribute TO District
Attorney Jerome, calling him a master
mind, but added that even though
gifted beyond the average mind he
could not shake the testimony of
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw.s af
Mr.. DeImas seemed determined to
base his whole plea for Thaw's life
upon his wife's story. He declared the
story was proved by documentary evil
dence. Evelyn listened to her own
story with Redeemed eyes, but no tears
came.
Delmas declared that the large sums
paid by Stanford White to Mrs Nesbit
proved he had ruined the daughter
He denounced Mrs. Nesbft as an IN
natural mother who had given the dis
trfct attorney a statement to torture
the wounded soul of her daughter
When Delmas touched upon Harry
Thaw's love for Evelyn, one of the
Jurors was seen to wipe his eyes.
Attorney Delmas as he proceeded
with his speech said:
