Eureka Springs, Ark., July 21.—In the Republican congressional conven tion here yesterday General Powell Clayton, In the keynote speech, pro dlctd Democratic defeat. He adjured hla hearers to "give 'em hell, and angels can do no more.’ Oeneral Clayton ' ex-minister to Mexico, IDENTITY OF VICTIMS HA8 BEEN LEARNED Mr. Jeromo would not talk of the Thaw case—that Is to reporters. He did have considerable to say on the subject In talking to some of the law yers at the bar meeting, though hie re marks were not learned until he left there. ‘This rase has attracted considerable attention,” said Mr. Jerome In talking to the solicitor of one of the county courts of Georgia. "It lias been mainly on account of tho many stereotyped newspaper features connected with the tragedy. Some people are looking for ward to the trial. It will not attract the attention the Mollneux case did, for It hasn't the depth to It. "1 am of the opinion that there will be a long (rial, In case a sanity com mission Is applied for. If ths trial Is simply one of defense on the 'unwrit ten law,' It will not last long. “Oh, no. It won't be hard to get Jury, owing to the special law In New York,” eald he In reply to a question from a lawyer. When It was announced that the taw Arm of Judga William K. Olcott had been discharged by Thaw and Hart rldge retained, while the mother of Harry Thaw re-engaged the former firm, there waa considerable doubt In Mr. Gamm's mind as to whether Jt ‘ Olcott could act, being retained ■ome one other than the accused. Oh, I don't think there will bd any trouble about that," said Mr. Jerome when asked about that phase of the alTalr. Move of Last Resort. "Now as to the temporary Injunction secured by Hartrldge against -the dis trict attorney’s otAre, restraining ua from securing evidence and going fur ther with the case', I have only to aay that that Is the course generally pur sued by every lawyer. It Is nothing lual, for Invariably when a lawyer gate, to the end of hie row be appl for a writ of prohibition. It • will i amount to anything. It also became known while the dis trict attorney and his assistants were In Warm Springs that they were of the opinion that tha discharge of hie law yers by Thaw was a part of his Insani ty "play." Ths district attorney and Mr. Gsrvan placed little credence In the "unwritten law" claim. 'Ths South Is not unlike the North, East or West, when It cornea to the un written law, aa It Is called," eald the district attorney. "You cannot secure a conviction In our part of tha state any more than down hare. It la tha •ame anywhere—It Is a subject that appeals to every man In the same light, and the juries disregard the law. This Thaw case, however, le nothing of that sort. Knowing what I do about the case, the 'unwritten law’ will amount to nothing In the trial." "All of this libelous stuff that has been written about Stanford White waa done so purely because those papers knsw they would not be held account able. Had they thought Ills family would care to go to court about It, they would not have dared. Some people have formed .the Ides that certain pa pers were paid to defend Thaw, la * ya. absurd. In a case of this sort It Is the custom of a certain branch of the press to take the side of the case fur nishing the most yellow stuff. In this case It was simple. Hera woe the young and beautiful girl and tha rich n, and the dead man waa pic- working tha husband Into a fransy of rags by hla persecutors. It has s lot of glamor about It. The** yellow papers then got Clara Morris, Julian Hawthorns, KIT* Whesl- •r Wilcox snd other* of that class to write some of their stuff about the beautiful girl, about whom the mantis of wifehood had been thrown by the young millionaire, being pursued by the rich 'beastly' While, oh, It le Just their gnme In an affair of this sort. That side of such a case Is always taken by this certain branch of the press." Nothing Improper, Said Garvan. It waa also learned Friday afternoon that whllo at Warm Springs tha dis trict attorney’s assistant, Mr. Garvan, aald that from the Information he had White had naver been Improperly In tlmate with Evelyn Thaw. While at Warm Springs the Thaw css* was not discussed by Mr. Jeroms with reporters, lie said that on* re porter ram* to him and ssksd whst would hsppsn If Thaw applied for sanity commission.
