defeats in his long fight 6or liberty,
Immediately in the wake Of the courts

Coolly denying tho courts opinion
that he still harbored the same delu-
sions that drove him to shoot White,
the wealthy young prisoner said he
would at once continue his battle for
freedom. His next move, he said,
would be directed toward getting a
jury hearing.
Mother Still Bitter at Jerome.
Notwithstanding the courts chiding,
the mother is just as bitter against the
district attorney as ever, as is evil
denced by the following statement she
gave out last night:
Let no one imagine Tor a moment
on reading this opinion of Justice
Mills that It means victory for the
district attorney Of the county Of New
York.
"One by one the delusions with
which he and his aNenists started out
were proved, each by the mouths of
several Witnesses. to be stubborn facts
that would not down at his bidding.
Every prop was taken from under
thtat arrogant, vindictive prosecutor
OF y sane acquitted man.
"So baff1ed was he that when he
rose to make his closing speech (for

appearance Of q schoolboy compelled to
say a piece than the sometimes cour-
ageous, mature sophist who dominates

exiled from our two homes and all the
regular flow of life, will remain close
to the gate and so help the son and
brother to endure an existence which,

death itself; trusting in Gods overrul-
ing providence in his own good time to
vindicate the right.
"MARY COPLEY THAw."
The foregoing statement was issued
after Mrs. Thaw and her daughter, for
merly the Countess Of Yarmouth, had
visited Thaw in the Jail. Both the
prisoner and his sister seemed anxious
to shield the mother as much as possi-
BILE. Thaw himself had given the first
news Of the decision to his mothers
companion over the telephone, direct
Ing that It be broken to her as gently
rs possible.
