EVELYN NESBIT TrIAW.
Wife of Harry Thaw, who i doing
her utmoKt to secure his acquittal of
the charge of murder.
New York, Jan. 30. Conceding
that Thaw may have had many Irra
tional outbreaks now and then dur
ing the 3G years of his life. District
Attorney Jerome. In his plea for the
conviction of White's slayer, declartd
stirpr
today by the striking contrast, of Ills
argument with that of a year ir-so.
Ills vindictlven"ss was gone, as well
'as his passionate defense of White,
and denunciation of Kvelyn Thaw
had no place in his remarks. In
stead there was a calm, analytical
; present atlon of the evidence, i con
' cession of possible weakness, both
.mental and physical, in the defend
; ant, but always recurrence to the
i hard and fast rule of law that u man
I to bo excused must bo so Insano us
i not to know what he was about.
I Jerome declared emphatically he
' had no doubt that White had done
j lOvelyn Nesblt n gteuit wrong und
jthn Thaw had every motive for re
vengeful murder upon the man he
killed. This motive, ho asserted, for
ever swept away tho claim of In
sanity which knows not what It does.
Justice Uowllng announced that ho
would churgo tho jury tomorrow

ness stahd in his own defense to
day that never at. any time did ho
have an understanding with the Dtittj
Creek Land, Livestock & Cattlo Co.
whereby It could Illegally encloso
public lauds. Hall also swore he dis
missed the case against W. K. Ilurka
nnd W. C (losslln when C. W. Ful
ton was their attorney In tho effort to
locate twenty men on tlniberland, on
authority of tho United States attorney-general,
and nrter he had tak

Defendant's Testimony.
John 11. Hall was on the stand
In the United Slates court yesterday
telling his version of tho clrcum
stnnces surrounding tho fencing of
public lands in Wheeler county by
W. W. Slelwor, H. II. Hendricks and
others, for which violation of the law
he Is now on trial as a follow-ron-splratnr.
Ho finished his story in the
nfternoon.
Mr. Hall by his Rtory attempted to
overturn the Inference raised by tho
government that he was neglectful
'of his duty nnd delayed prosecution
and dismissed cases in order to shield
those who were friendly to him or
whom ho could use In his efforts to
achieve his ambition to reappoint
ment to the office of district attor
ney from which ho was deposed by
tile efforts of Mr. Heney some threa
years ago.
Hall contended, ns shown by tho
opening of his testimony, that ho had
no understanding with Stelwer or
liny of his associates and that his
conduct of tho case was in accord
ance with the established -customs
of tho office. Ho said In his testi
mony that, tho first, ho over heard
of the Stelwer fence was when ho
received a loiter from J. R. King,
In Docember, 1U00, tolling him of
the fence nnd the violation of tho law.
Ho explained Hint he was, as district
attorney, tho adviser and assistant of
nil tho governmental departments in
Oregon. Tho heads of theso depart
ments camo to him for direction, and
as a rule ho only acted officially up
on recommendations made by them
or through them for the respective
departments, i Ho testified that when
complaint of violation or land lawn
was matin to him It wns the custom
of the orflco to require affidavit to he
made by the complainants of the con
ditions complained If.
These were In turn made the basis-,
of nn investigation by a special ngenf
who reported to tho general land' of
fice. Then, tho witness said. If tho de
partment considered that .cause for
action existed ho, as district attor
ney, would begin that notion. This;
wns tho course pursued In tho Stel
wer case, tho witness said.
Hall told of the receipt of tho King
lottor nnd of beginning a coi rosoond-
onee uottvoen King, Putnam and oth
ers regarding the case. Ho said ho
had called their attention to tho fenc
