S.Whtl hard-work Ing Justice ie'Uklne; two day off to rest up, the district attorney and coun 1 in the Thaw cut are forming their ' line for th battle which will open be- for Justice Fitzgerald on Monday. Oit the iv uf 'Hn fight important , difference hare arista between Barry Kendall Tbaw and hla adviser. Younc Thaw insists upon going; on the wttnexa Stand' la til own behalf. H wants to tell hi own story to the Jury, confl- . that the narration will .doar-what- ever lingering doubt thaV mar remain an1 their minus a to his responsibility (or the killing of Stanford White. ' There are among the counsel for " Thaw some .who support htm In hi deslre thu to take the wltne stand; but those who oppose It support their views with such logical argument that there was a fair prospect tonight that they , would have their way and that Thaw would remain mute throughout - ill ordeal. . '.. wni Xsep Thaw Out i ' Under the circumstances, the legal gentlemen point rout, it would be de i etrable and porhap necessary for Thaw to take the stand, but If it 1 to be urged in hla defense that he was insane at the time of theauootlng of . Stanford White, the astute legal minds declare that it would be the height of absurdity to call upon Thaw to testify to acta which were committed in an hour when he did not know what be .was doing. Thl view will probably prevail. In- deed, one of those who has taken the lead In Thaw's defense since the open ing of the trial, declared emphatically tonight that under no circumstances , would he be mad a witness. ... . . . ... Mrs. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw will take the witness stand, however, and under the guidance of Delma will tell her complete story. When, she will be - called-ha -not been entirely decided upon yet. - The defense. It was declared today, will be ready at any time to . proceed with It ease, though there I a feeling among counsel that Jerome will not. be able to complete his eA by noon Monday, the time he specified at the hour- of adjournment Friday evening, ' Who will b called first by the de fense Is" as great a mystery as Che name ' of the first wltneng of the state.- Ru- I nor. today had May McKenxle as Je- Tome's first witness, but a full consid eration of the fact seem to rule her - out of the case for the prosecution en tirely. She 1 essentially a witness for ' the defense, but it is not regarded as likely that Jerome will call her to the ' stand and bind himself to the damaging statement that she might make against Stanford White In the course of her examination. -. Win wot call arm Thaw. r-1- Similarly it 1 practically certain rtow that Jerome will not call Mrs. . Harry Thaw as on of hi witnesses. Me can get along without her, and be , baa at hand a sufficient number of . witnesses according to hi light, to - contradict Mr. Thaw statement 11 " that be necessary. ....... r - All "day -today - there were' rumors ., about the criminal court building a to an Intention on Jerome' part to ' make desperate effort Monday to bare another Juror ' withdrawn. Tb . nam of thl Juror was mentioned and circumstance concerning his . career . were elted as reason why he should . j.U dismissed. He Is said to be well ' known in racing circles, and Jerome Is alleged to hare facts about him which ' Inspire) a wholeaom desire not to go to trial with th man In the box. ' - . Whether or not an effort will be an ad by th state to take thl man out ' th box will develop,Monday morn ' tng. It may be atatad with certainty, however,- that every effort looking to Y- that eodVwrlll be fought to the last ditch ' - fcy th defense. On Friday night a long conference : waa held between Thaw, Hartrtdg and .- O'Reilly In th Tomb prison on thUi question and today oa leaving th prison after three Quarters of an hour's talk artta Thaw A. R. Pea body aald: r- - Jury Pleases Defease. To far counsel for th defense la I ' (Bonoerned, tb Jury will stand a it wa completed oa Friday evening." To get another man out of th box, ' Jerome will have to convince Justice Fltsgerald that there is something i ' radically wrong with th Jury and even at that the defense wlllbo entitled to an exception and It would be a powerful ' lever in th hand of the defense for a ; new trial should a conviction result. J Peabody brought out of Thaw's cell a Cheering report a to the defendant's feeling: - " -Thaw Is delighted with th Jury." he i ald. , "He, think we could not hav ' tnada a better choice. In fact, all of u are pleased and I ran say as much for . i ThaW relative, who have been in at- ;f tends nc at the trial all week.
