O8Y ABSOLUTE TRUTH
NEW YORE, March 1—ITarry Thaw
FAYE out the following typewritten
statement, which, he explained. was

“This is Mr. Thaw's second state
ment since Aug. 10.
“With chances millions to one against
her after the catastrophe In 1001 it 1s
wonderful that Mrs. W. K. Thaw pre
valled in the cross examination against
the prosecution backed by blacklegs
“Her testimony was absolute truth,
“Our evidence was of conversations.
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

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

from the time Le fest visited Thaw fo
the Tombs last summer he has Leen
convinced (hat the prisoner was 0 vie

It was just before adjournment was
taken and after many long hours of
wearisome expert testimony as to the
sane or Insane meaning of extracts
from elght letters written by the de

CULPEPER, Va, March 1L—James
A. Strother, on trinl with his brother
Philip for the munder of William F.
Bywaters, thelr brother-in-law, took
the stand (0 his own defense. He was
permitted to tell the story of his sis
ter's wrongs, with only occasional
questioning by his chief counsel, John
L. Jeffries,
Although at times visibly affected
by the straln under which he hax la-
bored since the night when Bywaters
was Killed, be related the relations be
tween the dead man and his sister in
& straightforward manner,
He gave his residence as Welch, W.
Va, stating that his presence In Cul
peper on the night of -the tragedy was
due to information sent him by Mrs
Gaines, his sister, soncerning her-sus-
piclons as to Viola's coudition.
“How did you regard By waters?’ be
was asked.
“He bad always enjoyed our full
confidence” he replied. “We knew
that Viola loved him and regarded
them as practically engaged.
His story continued with a state
ment concerning the demand he made
on Bywaters to marry Viola
“Rev. Dr. Ware was to come and
marry them, and | thought then that
everything would end all right. After
the ceremony Bywaters' whole manner
changed. He became Indifferent to
Viola and insolent to Mrs. Gaines. He
seemed to think that his obligation to
Viola was over when be married her”
Referring to the quarrel between By.
waters and the members of the Stro
ther family, the defendant sald that
mand was made that he remain with
Viola on the night of the tragedy.
“Did you lusist on his remaining
with your sister?’ asked Attorney Jef
fries.
“I certainly did,” answered the wit
ness. I reallzéd that Viela was des
perately Ill, and It was Bywaters' place
as ber husband to bv with ber!
“What did he reply
“He =ald: ‘Jim Strother, I'm not
afrald of yon. T'm a brave man'"
At this juncture, the witness stated,
Mra. Gaines declared to Bywaters,
“Will Bywaters, yon are the lowest
dog alive”
“He sald that he must go to Culpeper
that night. I told Lim that we Intend.
el to watch him to see that he did pot
get away.”
“Did he answer you?"
“No. He sprang from Viola's side,
teairing himself from her’ arms, and
made a dash for the window."
“What happened then?”
“The next thing | bean] was a shot.
Phillp fired at Bywaters as he ran to
get away."
“Did you fire on him while he was In
the room? asked his connsel
“My recollection fs that we fired just
as he climbed ont of the window
We did not fire on Mm until he had
got ont of the window.”
To avenge the wrong done his sister
Phillip Strother, the other brother on
trial for the murder of his brother-in-
law, Wiliam Bywaters, admitted on
the witness stand that, while Lhe had
uot anticipated trouble, he “shot to
Kill” when Bywaters attempted to de-
sert his “bride of an hour.”
A pathetic luterlude In the testimony
came when the defendant, after com-
pleting his story of the tragedy, told of
bis mother's admonition on her death
bed to “always protect our girls, Jim."
Strother paused In his story, overcome
with emotion, and lis counsel were
