TRIAL GOES OVER
Snow Storm Tied Up Business aud ThaW Case Went Over
 10 Monday
JEROME GETS ANGRY

New York, Jan 24.-To-day's ses. sions fthe Thaw trial were aban- doned at the request of the defense and an adjournment of court was taken until Monday. A heavy snow storm tied up shipping in the bay and prevented the docking of the steamer Adriatic on which three phy- sicians, and a trained nurse are com ing from Europe to testify as to ir- rational outbreaks by Harry Thaw at Monte Carlo, Paris and London.
 Another witness, Dr Bingaman of Pittsburg, who Is recoVing from an attack of pneumonia, will not be in the city until tomorrow. MT Little s ton for the defense stated that he ] believed the delay would really re- suit in expedition of the case as he would employ the intervening time in preparing the hypothetical ques- tion for the experts and submitting draft of it to District Attorney Jerome for any suggestions or ob- 7 jectfons he may have to offer. There was a lively tilt between ' counsel just before the adjournment J was announced. MT Jerome said he would not oppose the motion for ad- journment provided MT Littleton would furnish him the names of the witnesses who are arriving on the Adriatic He said he wanted to be !, prepared for their cross-examina- tion.
 Your honor," replied MT Little ton, T would like to comply, but my experience has been that when ever the district attorney knew of the arrival of any witnesses for the defense he has had people meet them with subpoenas and has hauled them off to his office or somewhere and submitted them to a long exam ination. do not intend that he shall do so in the future. do not intend that he shall know my case before it is presented here in court" :"
 What 1 want to find out is whether these people you are bringing here are shysters, charlatans, or men of char acters and standing" shouted Mr Je- rome.
 "I will give you their names after they have landed and their addresses as well. Mir, Littleton offered
 That won't give me q chance to cable" snapped the district attorney.
 That shows the district attorney wants to meet them at the dock" ex- claimed Mir Littieton. .Is he willing to give me the names of the witnesses he will call in rebuttal?".--. ,,.-s-z-
 '.The district attorney is not re- quired to do tmt,n .interposed Justice Bowling.
 Then don't think I ought to be forced to tell him the names of my witnesses"
 ''Oh, very well. then," said Mir Je- rome, slamming a book down on the counsel, table. If you don't want to do it. all right.
 ''l approved of what I thought a req sonable request" ruled Justice Dowl- ing. putting an end to the controversy, ''and now. will grant the adjourn ment as requested"
 Mir Littleton. said the defense un- doubtedly would conclude it's case on Monday, and District Attorney Je- rome announced that the people were ready to proceed in. rebuttal at any time.
