Closing Arguments Made at
White Plains Today
JEROME ARRAlGNS EVELYN
DISTRICT ATTORNEY DECLARES
DEFENDANTS WIFE DELI5ER-
ATELY AND INTENTIONALLY
FALsIFIED WHILE ON STAND
SAYS THAW is CRAZY.

White Plains N. X, Aug. Clos
ing arguments were heard by Supreme
Court Justice Isaac N. Mills today in
the application of Harry K. Thaw for
release from the Matteawan asylum.
Each side was confined to one hour,
and both had said that they did not
need as much time as tr-s. Jerome's
turn came first.
Mrs. Josiah Thaw, the prisoners
sister-in-law. was the only member
Of the family party not present when
court convened. Thaw looked even
paler than usual His chair touched
Jerome's. Thaw set his features with
evident determination to show no
emotion, under the storm which he
expected to descend upon his head.
Some Told the Truth.
Jerome began by saying that Justice
Mills must be perfectly familiar with
the case. Jerome said that therefore
he would not attempt to go over the
evidence in detail. Speaking of the
credibility of the witnesses and their
being under cross examination. he said
he believed all did rneir best to tell
the truth. except Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw
Il do not think he erawled, that
this girl was deliberately and inten-
tionally falsifying. That she told her
husband the story of her injury at
the hands of Stanford White, l have
no doubt"
Thaw's Mind Unsound.
IF a person had come in here from
Mars, continued the prosecutor, "and
seen Thaw on the stand, he would have
realized something was the matter with
him. 1t was unwholesome, it was
uncanny. I call your attention to his
attitude toward his act. A man of
sound mind would have said, Yes. /
killed him. but he did great wrong to
the woman loved and l hated him, it
was wrong. / know
Jerome's voice rose for the first time.
Mrs. Thaw laid down her magazine and
she and the prisoner and his counsel
held whispered conference. The dis
trict attorney went.on
Heredity Proves Bad.
THE situation is about this:
Here is a man whose heredity has
been proven too bad, he is a man
whose childhood was that of a highly
nervous sort We find him marrying
this girl and there was nothing after
the marriage to excite his jealousy. we
see him pursuing this idea of injury to
young American girls"
Takes Rap at Mother.
Referring to Mrs Thaw's attack on
MIN in the Secret Unveiled" Jerome
said:
I'VE see in this pamphlet the same
color as runs all through the sons
behavior"
1T seems to me that it would not
be safe to turn this man loose, until
ample opportunity to submit him to
medical examination from day to day
for long period"
Jerome finished mis- summing up at
1895, the court having offered no
objection to the length Of his speech.

Island Lake lies three miles from
Orth, Minnesota, The land about
the lake is generally level. The soil,
a rich loan, with a clay subsoil, is
we'll adapted to agricultural purpos-
es. This is covered with a heavy
growth of timber of the kinds above
mentioned. The land was taken
from the government many years
ago and some of the quarter sections
are improved with good buildings.
However, on account of the lack of
a market for timber in the past and
the recent low prices caused by the
panic, some of these lands can now
be bought at unreasonably low
prices-$10 to $18 per acre. There
is no better opportunity in the
country to-day. The mill at Ortiz
will furnish a ready market for
saw timber. There is now mar
ket at Orth for poles, posts, piling,
ties, pulp wood, etc. A railroad
has been surveyed to the lake and
is now under construction. A sui
phite mill, now being put in at Be-
midi, will furnish ready market
for green wood. When the timber
is sold the land will still be worth
more than the price that is asked.
Consider this carefully and then
