New York, January 29.-Martir
W. Littleton, chief counsel in the de-
fense of Harry K. Thaw, today ask,
ed for the acquitta. of his client upon
| the ground of insanity, declaring he
| could not conceive how in the face
| of the evidence the jury could render
any other verdict. The serious and
sincere evidence of the defense tend
| ing to establish insanity of the de-
fendant, Mr.. Littleton declared, has
been answered only by the sneers and
insinuations of District Attorney Je-
rome. These Sneers and insinualions
the young Pittsburger's advocate as
certed, were not the competent proof
that the law required the prosecuting
authorities TO produce, once the in
sanity of the accused person was
made the issue. He repeatedly urged
upon the jury to remember that in a
case of this kind the burden of proof
rests wholly upon the state to prove
the sanity of the defendant beyond
all reasonable doubt.
Mr.. Littleton warmly defended
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw against the at
tacks of District Attorney Jerome
He could not understand what she
had done, what great crime she had
committed, considered in the light
of all she had confessed herself to
be, that the prosecutor should trans
cend all rules of propriety and de-
cency and attempt to destroy her
when in the next breath he was ready
to ''coddle and vouch for the tes-
timony of such a scoundrel as Abra-
ham H. Hummel-the yermin of the
New York bar"
The address of the defending at
torney took up all of the days ses-
sion and District Attorney Jerome is
expected to reply tomorrow. If he
should finish at the morning session
Justice Bowling will charge the jury
during the afternoon. If Mr.. Jerome's
address should extend we'll into the
session however, the case will not go
to the jury until Friday morning
Mr. Littleton urged today that
there should be no compromise. He
asserted that if any doubt exists in
the minds of the jurors they should
dissolve it in favor of the defendant
and acquit him. He begged them
not to be misled by the district at
torney into voting for a verdict Of
conviction in some lesser degree than
that of primary murder
ANY FeTQlcL OF not guilty IN the
case, it is said, will carry with 1t the
assumption that it was rendered on
the ground of the insanity Of the de-
fendant, whether or not the insanity
clause is added. The plea of not
guilty entered in the case carried
with it the specification that the de-
fendant was insane at the time the
crime was committed
mir. Littleton's argument was force
full and impressive. He refrained
from appealing TO the passions of
the jurymen and devoted himself to a
logical consideration of the facts as
adduced in evidence. He made no
attempt to eulogiZe Harry Thaw, and
he said that he asked for him no
more consideration than the average
American boy had a right 10 demand
of the average American jury. The
speech was crisp with epigrams and
the short sentences were filled with
the pith of logic and the quality Of
appeal The jurymen followed il
with intense interest and il was gem
orally conceded that Mr. Littleton
had left District Attorney Jerome a
difficult task
