v. 7. JEROME DIES;
PROSECUTED THAW
Hired by New York for Six
Years to Keep Whites
Slayer in Asylum.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 14.-Wil-
liam Travers Jerome, who as district
attorney for New York twice prose-
cuted Harry K. Thaw for the murder
of Stanford White, is dead. He was
"a years old.
Ill two weeks with pneumonia, the
famous prosecutor who held office
from 1902 to 1910, died yesterday at
his town house. With him were his
son, william Travers Jerome, jr., and
his daughter in-law. His widow is i'll
at the Jerome country house at
Yonkers.
Although well known to New York
ers as an arch-foe of Tammany Hall
and constant crusader against crime
and political corruption, Jerome was
best known in other parts Of the
country for his prosecution of Thaw.
Thwarted All Efforts.
Following the second trial of Thaw,
as a result of which he was committed
to an asylum, Jerome repeatedly
blocked attempts of Thaw to regain
his liberty. For six years after he
left Office the State of New York hired
him to defeat new maneuverS to free
the millionaire Finally the attorney
generals Office decided to get along
without JerOme-and ThaW was freed,
Jerome first came into prominence
as q reformer in 1890 when he was
an assistant counsel to the Lexow
Committee. Exposure Of vice, political
graft and underworld racketS by the
committee resulted in loss of power by
Tammany and William L. Strong was
elected mayor. Jerome had managed
Strong's campaign and as a reward
was appointed justice of Special Ses-
Sions the following year.
As justice of Special Sessions
Jerome became known as "the mar
with the sledge" because he person.
ally helped batter down doors oi
gambling houses to see that his
search warrants were served.
The most spectacular of his raids
was against the elaborate and luxuri-
ously furnished gambling house which
Richard Garfield had operated 2C
years. In five nights, Reginald Van
derbilt was reputed to have lost $780,.
900 at Canfeld's.
Jerome retired to private practice
IN 1910 and about II years ago organ
lied a company for production of mo-
ton pictures in color, which In 1925
was reported to have built him for
tune estimated at $40 100000.
Although living In comparative re-
tirement for the past few years, tht
former prosecutor again raised hi
voice against Tammany last year b.
supporting the fusion campaign o
