the commission of alienists appointed
by Judge Fitzgerald during the hrst
trial It's contents had never before

having the report read.

port was proposed while Jerome re-
turned to the notes Thaw gave Attor-
ney Delmas to aid him in the first trial.

tracts from a letter received by Thaw
during the trial.
