Jurer Belton, Desplie the Death of
His Wife, Ina Reported te Be
Ready For Duty on Mon-
day Morning.
NEW YORK, Feb. 18 Despite the
apprehension felt over the interruption
of the trial of Harry K. Thaw there
appears no basis for a doubt that the
case will be resumed, as planned, on
Monday morning Juror Joseph B.
Bolten, the death of whose wife ne
cesaiiated the present recess, has it
was slated, communicated to Judge
Fitzgerald his expectation of being
able to again take his place in the
jury box when the case is called. The
funeral Service for Mrs. Bolton were
held today.
Thaw, who had been reported as cast
down at the possibility of a mistrial,
declared himself ta be in good health
whet his wife visited him at the
Tombs. If his spirits were not in keep

Both District Attorney Jerome and
the lawyers for the defense are of the |
opinion that the trial will be continn- |
ed Monday, It is not expected now |
that Mr. Jerome will ask for the ap-|
pointment of a commission to inquire |
into the mental condition of w.!
Mr. Jerome made this point clear on
the part of the prosecution, whil® Law-
yer Dan O'Reilly insisted on behalf of
the defense that Thaw is of sound
mind today and that therefore it would
be futile to apply for the appointment
of a commission In lunacy. Both sides,
it Is understood, want to have the case
tried out and hope that there will be
ne further delays.
As the case stands now, Thaw is as-
sumed te be of sound mind. None of
the axperts called by the defense has

Thaw's lawyers, who know that the
prisoner fears the madbouse almost as
much as the death chair, are determin-
ed to strenuously oppose an attempt on
the part of the prosecution to send him
to the asylum.
“We don't want the mau declared
insane; we want him acquitted,” sald
ons of the Thaw lawyers,
Three state experts of Mr. Jerome

They had been unable to examine

deiuonstrations, the condition of his
arrved, the movements of his eyes and
sliullar matters, and it Is thought the

bon, are prepared to testify that Thaw
is insane now,
That an awful sacrifice had been

This announcement was made by
Lawyer Harry McPike of counsel for
the defense. In giving out this uews
he made some extraonlinary state
ments about Mr. Jerome's status in
the case.
“As it pow stands we have Jerome
beaten to a finish.” said Mr. MecPike
“If Mr Jerome's contention that we
could Dot lutroduce the statements
made by Harry Thaw to the experts
bad been allowed to stand it wonld
have been the worst error that either
I or Mr. Delmas ever heard of. We
would not have cared a snap for a
conviction if that bad been the final |
ruling. because it would not hold”
“What will be the order of the pres
entation of testimony in the évent that
the trial goes on? i
“Dr. Evans will conclude his testi-]
mony,” sald Mr McPike, “and Dr.
Wagner will be recalled to tell of his

Then Mr. Thaw's wife will finish her]

Zeller placed three sticks of dyua
