NEW YOEK, March 9, Another week-end gap In the Thaw trial, brought on by the sudden determination determina-tion of the defense to end its case with the grief-stricken mother on the stand in the minds of tho Jurors, was a welcome wel-come relief to jurors, lawyers and oth- era who have had to wrestle with expert ex-pert testimony for many days. Harry K. Thaw, the defendant, growled a bit over the decision to adjourn, ad-journ, as he is .well pleased with the manner in which his case has been presented, pre-sented, and thinks all delay is robbing . bim or so many days of freedom, which he feels sure will come as a result of the jury's verdict. I . District Attorney Jerome is spending the recess time in preparing his plan or rebuttal. It seems almost certain that he will recall Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw to the stand, and thus make her a wit-. wit-. ness for the prosecution, too. He caused her to be served with a subpoena sub-poena yesterday. Jerome wishes to bring into court certain letters which Stanford White wrote to her and which he believes are still in her possession. When she was on the stand she was very doubtful about whether the letters were still in existence. Jerome mav confront -her with the testimony of "her brother, Howard Nesbit, Nes-bit, and may ask her to explain how she forgot to mention posing for certain photographs and a statue which are said to be not so conventional as those she spoke of in her previous testimony. In just what order the witnesses for the prosecution will be called in rebuttal rebut-tal has not been fully decided upon. The probable witnesses besides Evelvn Nesbit Nes-bit Thaw are D. Francis A. McGuire, the Tombs physician, who has maintained main-tained an almost constant surveillance over the prisoner during his confinement in the Tombs; Dr. Flint. Dr. MacDon-ald MacDon-ald and Dr. Mabon, the alienists; F. W. Longfellow, who was Thaw's confidential confiden-tial counsel; May Mackenzie and Mrs. J. J. Cainc, friends of Mrs. Thaw, and probably Lawyer "Abe" Hummel, Howard Nesbit and Charles Hartnutt. The latter was for years confidential secretary to Stanford White, and as such knew much of White's acquaintance acquaint-ance with Evelvn- Nesbit and other young women. Hartnutt can tell about the trust funds White established for the benefit of Mrs. Harry Thaw and her mother. |
