THAW APPEALED
To JEROME

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.--The sem
sation of the Thaw trial was a
statement that Harry Thaw once
appealed to Jerome to have STAN
ford White brought to jnstice and
that the appeal was ignored be-
cause the prosecutor did not think
that Thaws motive was altogether
disinterested and believed he was
attempting to use the district at
torneys office to help him win Eve
lyn from White. These facts were
developed in the cross examination
of DR.. Charles Wagner, who was
an excellent witness for the de-
tense.
