THAW WRITES A LETTER
Some Views on Jerome and the
Robin Case.
10y Telegraph to The Tribune.

Pittsburg. Feb S-Ex-G Governor William
A. Stone. OF the firm which represented
Harry *. Thaw In his bankruptcy pro-
ceedings. received letter from Thaw to-
day with the request that 1t be published.
The letter is surmounted by the caption:
"a half-baked judge. Jerome denounces
court at a stated meeting Of the section
Of neurology at the New York Academy
OF Medicine, February l." The letter, in
part, follows:
Jerome. with language that indicated
much lack OF poise. denounced Judge
Swami and the jury. acting as spokesman
for some Of the most notorious alienists
IN New York City. I think said Or. Flint,
tighten US Then Jerome arose and gave
an interesting exhibition OF III balanced
mentality.
The gathering must have been devoid
Of a sense Of humor. as no one expressed
any amusement at Mr.. Jeromes new role,
so different from the character he showed
when he told the last Thaw fury why he
had not put DR.. MacDonold or Dr. Flint
on the witness stand: 'Alienists have be-
come such a disgrace to the administration
OF the law and OF science that | prefer
TO leave this case to ordinary human in
telligence' No laughter is reported even
when Mr.. Jerome told the pathetic story
of Robin How he was a poor Russian
boy. who came 10 this country with moth
ing but his brains and by hard labor had
accumulated 100000 or S,ooo00o'--of other
peoples money"

noirted Borough Presidents McAneny,

II Is understood that the Interborough
company will be represented by President
shonts and Andrew Freedman and r. j.
Rerwind. Of the board OF directors. 1t Is
said that they believe some of the proposed
notifications OF their proposition are en-
-t,relv unbusinesslike and impossible 70
carry out. However, they will enter the
conferences with desire 10 bring about an
amicable agreement, according to Borough
President McAneny.
AS for any % the proposed notifications
being impracticable, President McAneny
said that there was no disposition on the
mart Of the committee to make formal
list of demands, regardless OF whether or
not discussion showed them TO be unbusi-
ne sslike.
"If we both can come TO an agreement
that any of the proposed notifications are
rnbusinessike." he said. lit is safe 10 say
that the representatives Of the city will not
insist uron such notifications"
The regular weekly meeting Of the
directors OF tho PETERBOROUGH Rapid Tran
sit Company was held yesterday morning,
and il was said after the adjournment by
a repre- sentative of President Shonts that.
although it was naturally to be assumed
that the latter had outlined to his directors
and discussed with them the interview
which he and Andrew Freedman had on
Tuesday with Chairman Wilcox OF the
Public Service Commission. no formal &C
ton was taken by the board on the subject
of the company's proposition for building
the new subways.

Plump Folks and Thin Folks
Samose Will Make People Fat
Money Back if it Fails Say
Bowditch, Webster & Co.

The line of beauty is a curve. Women
may be thin and graceful. but not thin
and beautiful. There is vast number of
pale, thin, scrawny people who are all
brains and nerves, but without the
strength and health that accompanies
the standard weight. Good flesh and per-
feet health go together. A true flesh
forming food like Samose is absolutely
necessary TO many people.
This remarkable discovery comes in
tablet form and when taken after meals
mingles with the food and helps it to as
similate SO that it makes rich blood and
pleasing plumpness.
Bowditch, Webster & Co. have so much
confidence in this remarkable fiesh-forn.-
ing food and health restorer that they
are willing and glad to allow any GUS
toner to deposit soc. with them and take
home box of Samose with the under
standing that If it does not give marked
increase in good. firm flesh the money
will be returned without any questions.
