If successful in this, the defense
would force the trial of the case
strictly on Thaw's mental condition in
the summer of 1906. This, in turn
would force Jerome to again apply for
a lunacy commission, and Thaw's at

successfully fight out his claim OF
present sanity before such board.
Just what steps Jerome will take tc
combat this unexpected move by the
defense is not known.
