“The publication In th. United

tanUon mong American* In Coata Rica
who know the facta of thla Incident.
"Mlnlater Merry had been pressing
the claim* of Sam Well, of New Or-
leana, vigorously, and from Information
ha received he came to the conrluelon
that aome on* waa tampering with hla
cablee. He aent on one occasion a
message In cod*, and aom. little time
after waa uncertain aa to the wording
of the message and sent hi* clerk to
tbs cab), office with a request to have
tha cable returned to him.
Ztlaya Had Message.
"The cable clerk, after a lengthy
March, claimed that h. could not find
.the message, and thlb matter waa so
reported to Minister Merry. He then
went In person to the office and d*.
manded th* copy. It le understood from
the v.ry beet authority that the clerk
of the cable office went to the palace
of President Zelaya and received th*
meaaagv. It has alio been stated upon
equally aa good information that on.
or th. word. In' the message had boon

“Thla led to a very heated and stormy
Interview between President Zelaya
and Minuter Merry, and resulted in
Minister Merry closing hla legation.

"Harry Thaw la Insane and ought to
be confined In a mad houee. If he ta
not so declared by a commission, and
hla trial continue*. In my opinion he
will nsvtr be acquitted. The beat he
can hOp# for la a mlatrlal."
Attorney John R. Cooper, of Macon,
who made auch a persistent and stren
uous light In behalf of old man Rawl
ins and hla three anna to save them
from the gallows, spoke in this manner
Friday night while on hla way home
from New York.
During three of the moat dramatic
daya of the Thaw trial. Attorney Coop.
an attentive and Interested
spectator, upon the Invitation of Jus
tice Fltsgerald. He arrived In New
York on Monday and from then until
after District Attorney Jerome'a sen
sational bomb shell waa thrown Into
the camp of the defense on Wednee-
day. he watched .very - move made by
th* famous attorney* and heard every
part of the argument.
"When I went to New York I be
lieved from what I had read lhat Thaw
would be acquitted. 1 believed hlin
sane, and thought the Jury would be
greatly Influenced by the atory of Mr*.
Thaw.
"Hut now I don't think It takes an
expert alienist to see that Thaw Is a
mad man. Hla every-action and move-
ment seemed to denote to me that he Is
a fit subject for th* mad house.
"Whan Jerome succeeded In getting
that llummal affidavit before the Jury,
he dealt the defense a crushing blow.
He discredited th* dramatic atory told
by Mrs. Thaw.
’But th* most .ITecllve move wet

of liberty disappeared. I now belltv*
he le certain to be sent to an asylum
and there confined. And I think that
la (ha place for him. Such a man
should not be turned loose upon'society
In hla state of mind."
Comparing Delmaa with Jerome. At
torney Cooper said the noted Califor
nian was a match for tho district at
torney. but that It was beyond hjs skill
to keep Jerome from making the Insan
ity commission move.
"Jerome. I think, ha* believed from
the beginning that Thaw is Insane und
wo* only wulllng for the opportunity
wh.ch presented Itself on Wednesday.
1 believe Justice Fltsgerald will appoint
a commission to pass upon Thaw's In
sanity, and 1 believe this commission
will declare him unlit to consult with
hla counsel. Then Its wilt go to Mat-
teanan asylum.
"The unwritten law will save a man
In tleorgla und Virginia, but I wouldn't
plare much faith In II In New York."
_ It waa the Intention of Attorney
when h* aaked that the trial b* stopped j Cooper to be present .when the famous
and a commlMlon appointed to Inquire rase was given to the Jury, but the
into the prisoner's aantty. It waa one
of the moat dramatlr acanes I have
ever wltneeead In my criminal practice.
•The face of Delmae paled; Harry
Thaw with blanched cheeks feverishly
bit hie nails and talked excitedly with
Itret one and then th# other of hla law.
yer* It was then ha allowed to my
mind Jerome was right when he a«-
aerted It would be butchery to put auch
a man to death.
•Thaw seemed completely crushed,
and I'elmae ahowed, too. the blow had
been a heavy one. By that one move
of the famous district attorney, a de
fensive structure hulldrd by the beet
legal brains money could get. and rep
resenting week* of labor, waa threaten
ed with utter collapse, and Thaw In
danger of spending the bajance of hla
daya In the mad houat.
"It la inv opinion lhat when the
mighty hand of the law, through Dis
trict Attorney Jerome, asserted Itself
and caused that dramatic acene on
Wednesday, Harry Thaw's last chance
being was the American legation and
American territory.

Mr. Cooper.
