probably because it did not appear to the
reporters interesting. while undue
prominence was given tn District Attor-

experts because Jerome krew how to
make it interesting. He said:
Take for instance DR.. Jacobv His di-
rect testimony was conclusive but not in
| 1er9stins; his cross-eXamination under
Mr. jerome was interesting. and the
newspapers printed it. Probably I should
have done the same as the reporters in
the same position
Thaw did not discuss the action of the
court. He said that Mr. Jerome had done
what lie deemed his duty.
Asked about report that Evelyn Thaw
| would ithdraw her annulment suit in
order to try to have herself appointed
committee of her husbands property
Thaw said he had no fear of any such
action.
Tlaw was cheerful for a man who had
just heard bad news.
Mr. Graham said that the order for
commitment would probably not be
signed b. Judge Morschauser until
week from next Saturday. In the
meantime efforts will be made to in
duce Mr.. jerome to consent to Thaws
commitment TO one Of the Stale hos
pitfalls other than Matteawan.
If Mr. Jerome consents Thaw will
not appeal from the decision. If he
does arroal it cannot be argued before
