MAY CHANGE THAW JURY.
Member of Panel Sad to Haze
Expressed Decided Opinion.

II may be that the H X Thaw jury will be
changed again. for il is said that it has been found
that the opinion admitted by of the jurors IS
strong that it might influence his consideration
OF the evidence According TO the story this juror
Is said to have remarked to friend some time
before being called a talesman that Thaw was
justified in killing Stanford White, and that should
he ever serve on a jury in such he never
would convict the defendant II this is true, Dis
trict Attorney Jerome's only recourse will be to
make formal complaint and substantiate the
charge In open court.
Speculation as 10 just what form of insanity will
be advanced by the defence is still rife. One of
the experts connected with the case said yester-
day that 'stuporous meIancholia' would constitute
a legal defence. This is a form of emotional IN
sanity which is sometimes expressed in a tempo
rary but violent emotional outbreak, accompanied
by homfcidal frenzy. 1t is considered curabIe-
Another aIienist said that there vas one other
form of insanity which durable that might De
advanced as a legal defence This Is a form oL
epilepsy which would scarcely be apphcahle IN
Thaw's case, as it would have TO be shown that
there was an epileptic taint in Thaws fmmeolate
family II is a. foregone conclusion that Dlstrlct
Attorney Jerome will oppose all suggestions OF
emotional insanity defence
There being no court yesterday, most of the jury
men slept late at the Hotel Knickerbocker In
the afternoon. in detachments of twos and threes
accomnanied by the court officers the jurymen
took a long walk through the more unfrequenteo
side streets most of them also taxing wan

BINGHAM SEES JEROME.
Commissioner Submits 4fdaUits
Concerning officers Under Charges.

Police Commissioner Bingham visitor at
the District Attorneys office yesterday and was
closeted half hour with Mr.. Jerome. General
Bingham asked whether he had discussed the
case of Sergeant Joseph II. wasserman, who. with
Detective Reardon, Detective Butler and Patrol
man Mara, is involved in charges OF maltreat-
ment and false prosecution filed by Charles S.
Meyerson. retired merchant. but he refused TO
discuss the subject did Mr.. Jerome. Another
move made by Commissioner Bingham last
night in the crusade which he has been carrying
against the 'vice squad when he transferred
Wasserman the East SSth street station, Butler
10 the detective bureau and Mara TO the old West
2)th street station. and preferred charges against
Wasserman and Mara.
In the three charges which brought against
Wasserman it alleged that Wasserman, when
ordered to report at the Commissioners office said
that he would not be there. and that when he re-
ported sick on January 10 the department phy-
sicians who went to his home not able to gain
admittance and failed ascertain his condition, as
required by the rules of the department, 1t was
also alleged that Wasserman violated the rules of
the department in the manner in which he re-
ported sick and that he absented himself without
leave.
1t was charged against Mara that he testified in
the Essex Market court, before Magistrate Wahle,
that he had arrested Charles s. Meyerson two years
Nago when the man that arrested Meyerson WAS
Detective Reardon of District Attorney JefOme's s
office. 1t said that this charge will lead to a
second-that Of conduct unbecomng officer and
injurious to the public peace. The two men will
be placed on trial at Police Headquarters on
Thursday.
1t was learned last night that Commissioner
Bingham turned over to Mr.. Jerome number of
afidavits made by citizens and concerning the &C
tions of the police officers involved in the charges

SUNDAY LAW ENFORCEMENT.

From The St Louis Post-Disp&tch.
The revival of Sunday laws in various cities Is
distinctly a religious movement. The laws IN the
first place reflected the religious creeds ana pre-
dflections of their authors.
n the laws are tc be enforced in obedience TO a
religious demand and for religious purposes they
shof,ld be carefully revised by the Law making
powers for il is probable that the best reflglouS
Sentiment to-day is reflected in these fantastic
enactments.
II may be doubted if q convention or any church
v,ouid reeHact the old Sunday code in It's entirety
yVhen we consider that most people are attached
