synopsis of District Attorney Jerome $

jury at Thaws second trial, Jan. 90 1865
for the murder of Stanford white. A,
the end of the printed synopsis was a
statement by Mr.. Shurtleff. II read as
follows:

the people for their kindness and strong
feeling of fair play. The remarks of At

who contended that Thaw was not in
sance, but shot in defence of his family
honor, will naturally be appreciated by
Canadians
After Thaw had spent some hours in
his cell and grumbled a bit at his poor
quarters, he was removed to the hospi
ter. AT his lawyers suggestion he con-
sented to see reporters,
Where did you intend to go after YOU
left Matteawan?' he was asked.

piled quickly and finally.
No amount of questioning could induce
him to modify this declaration Nor
could the interviewers persuade him 20
tell where he had been or what he had
done since leaving Matteawan. Courte-
ously but firmly he declined to answer
all questions even remotely bearing on
the topic.
