UHWRITTEN LAW IS BARRED That Pt«« WIN Not Be Mentioned, It la Said— Evelyn Neebit Thaw Will Again Go on Wltnaaa Stand and Re late Her Story, New York, Dec. 30.—One week from Monday Harry K. Thaw will be called a aaoona timo before a jury to make hla defense to the charge of hav- Ing murdered Btanton* White. Tnere have been several post4>oaements of the date of the aegond hearing of this noted case, but ft la said now there will be no further delay. It is announced that Mrs. William Thaw, riother of the defendant, is expected to be In the city by next Sat urday. Other members of the fami ly circle, including Mrs. George Car negie, Harry Thaw’s sister, and Jo siah and Edward Thaw, his brothers, are also expected to reach the city during the week. The oounteea of Yarmouth, the defendant’s elater, is at present in England, and 3a not expected to attend the second trial. Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who has been a daily visitor at the Tombs ever since the first Thaw jury disagreed, wIU, of course, be one of the first arrivals in the court room on Monday next S&>. Plana for the Dwfense. There have been many rumors as to the plana of "the defense for the second hearing of the case, and it bag been predicted that an! entirely new line of action might be followed. It can be authoritatively stated, how ever, that the defense will again ba the same, that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will again relate her story to the jury, and that an imposing array of expert alienists will again undertgke to ea tablish the theory that Thaw was. in sane at the time he killed Stanford WMte in the Madison Square roof gar den, but has so Car resovered his men tal balance since that time as to be no longer a menace to the community and therefore is entitled to freedom. This theory was expounded at length during the first trial, but after the taking <rf-much expert testimony and after a lunacy commission bad de clared Thaw sane at the present time, the plea of temporary insanity was practically abandoned In the summing up speech of Delphin M. Delmas, the California attorney, who made an ah most direct appeal to the so-called "unwritten law.” No Mention of Unwritten i_aw. In the coming trial, it Is declared there will be no mention made of a higher or unwritten law, but the de fense will adhere etrictly to a plea of legal Insanity at the time the act was committed. There were mistakes made at the first trial which it will be the attempt of Thaw’s attorneys studious ly to avoid during his second hearing. In the expert testimony, for Instance, they have been able to separate the wheat from the cihaff and will only of fer that which proved most effective before, and having once felt the sting of District Attorney Jerome’s stillful cross-examination on all phases of dis eases affecting the brain, several of the Thaw experts will be in a much mote secure position than they were at the first trial when the prosecuting officer's wonderful knowledge of med icine facility amazed; and in one case, completely dumbfounded a witness. Thaw is looking forward anxiously to the beginning of his new fight. He feels that all chance of further delay is passed and will enter the court room with the same confidence ot ac quittal which has marked his attitude from the first. It has been definite ly decided that the jury will toe locked up throughout the trial. - ... a Landlords Reduce Rent.
