Consequently th thought of In' definite confinement a a lunatla wa Intensely displeasing to him. Thaw, anxious to know how far Je rome could go to have the trial Stopped and to bring about hla Incarceration In an aaylum. summoned Lawyer Hart rldg and O'Reilly and aaked them many questions. They assured him that Je rome would be defeated on this line. Thaw wanted to consult Delmaa, but Delmaa had gon out of th city for a Sunday rest.
