VERDICT LIKELY THURSDAY District Attorney l'inds No Lnw to feustain Demand to See Min utes Three Days for lawyers' Speeches. KEW YORK. April 6.-The trial of Tlarry K. Thaw will proceed on Monday morning, when Delphln M. Delmas, lead ing counsel for the defense, will begin ltls summing-up address to the Jury. Dis trict Attorney Jerome decided late today not to apply to the appellate division of the Supreme Court for a writ of prohibi tion or mandamus to halt the trial. He reached this decision, It was said, after a nnsultation with eminent counsel. Mr. Jerome may argue briefly on Monday morning against the conflrmatipn of the jeport of the lunacy commission which declared Thaw to be sane, but he is aware that Justice Fitzgerald's disposition Is to ,-onflrm the report, which was unani mous. The District Attorney has many witnesses under subpena, but It is said he has decided not to call them and will press the trial forward to an early ver dict or, what is regarded as more likely, a disagreement of the Jury. Could Find No Law In Support, When Justice Fltigerald yesterday de clined to grant the District Attorney ac cess to the minutes of the lunacy com mission, Mr. Jerome threatened to carry the matter to the appellate division on the ground that he had been excluded from the final examination of Thaw by the commission. He said he had been willing to waive the right to be present, with the understanding that he was to he allowed to have possession of the tes timony. He had promised the commis sion not to use this testimony against the prisoner in any way at his trial. Immediately after yesterday's adjourn ment, Mr. Jerome 'set about seeking pre. cedents upon which to base his appeal to the higher court. He was at his office again early this morning and then went to the appellate division building. It was then that Mr. Jerome sought counsel among his judicial friends and reconsid ered his determination to press the mat ter. Three Days for Speeches. Dr. Allan McDane Hamilton was on the stand as a witness for the defense when the trial proper was halted more than two weeks ago. In order that the record may be kept straight he probably mill be recalled Monday morning, although he may not be permitted to testify. There was a stipulation in court some weeks ago that each side was to have one day. for summing up. It was learned to night, however, that Mr. Delmas may speak for two entire days. If he wishes this to be. It will undoubtedly be granted him. Mr. Jerome has stated that his summing up would not require more than three or four hours. He has expressed the desire to make his argument without any sort of interruption for -a luncheon reres. or adjournment. He will ask the Jury to convict Thaw of murder in the first degree. Seeks Kirst Degree Verdict. No reference will be made or allowed on either side to the appointment of the lunacy commission or the nature of its findings. Mr. Jerome will maintain Thaw was sane enough to know the nature and quality of his act when he killed Stan ford White and to know that the act was wrong. This is the definition. In this state, of legal sanity. Regardless of his expressed personal conviction in the mat ter. Mr. Jerome told the court yesterday that It would be his duty to press the prosecution to the utmost. It Is thought that a verdict m k- reached on Thursday. CUBA EAGER FOR DECISION Hopes Taft Will Name Date for End of Intervention. HAVANA. April 5.

Although in the matter of identity they admit Chey may be mis taken in the men, they are certain that at least one of the pair has been con nected with some of the recent crimes. Detective Sergeant Baty had worked all day on the theory that a one-armed crook was performing some of the rob berries reported, and after being joined by Hfellyer last night they came upon Feeley, who has lost his left hand above the wrist.
