The cross examination has proved the exact facts under oath. “Mr. Jerome, finding his informants In certain lines falsifiers, concluded by more usual methods, which is to his credit, : “However, from some of his ques tions and some of his unprofessional remarks in court it appeared truly that the natural and real goodness of the witness ts above hls comprehension.” Attention was first natiracted by statement to a newspaper reporter who sat close to him and asking him fo compare it with the original. Four or five other copies lay on the counsel table in front of the defendant. One of the reporters reached over, picked up the coples and hastily left the court room. He was quickly followed bs other reporters, and soon the state ment was known to all Jerome showed hix hand during the examination of Dr. Evans, the allenist, who is testifying for Harry KE. Thaw. The district attorney is preparing to put Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton upon ithe stand, and by Hamilton's testi {ony he hgpes to prove that Farry | Thaw Is pow a crazy man, that Harry Thaw was a crazy man when he killed Stanford White on his wife's account last June and that he has nlways been crazy. Then the district attorney thinks be will be amply fortified to make the motion for the nppolntment of a commission In lunacy and so to end the trial before It goes to the Jury, & move which his present tactics make almost inevitable. Dr. Hamilton is the allenist who was retained by former Judge W. M. K. Oleott to examine Thaw before Thaw dismissed Olcott as his counsel and went aver to Clifford W. Hartridge. Since the trial started Dr. Hamilton bas been sitting among the experts for the defense, but nobody noticed that he Dr. Hamilton came to court betimes. but he diin't stay long After a whis pered conference with Jerome be slip ped away before the lawyers for the defense arrived. When a question was put direct to one of Thaw's counsel be said, “No, Dr. Hamilton isn't con nected with our side of the case any more.” From another source it was learned that Jerome has every expectation of inducing Dr. Hamilton to testify that DR.
