Delmaa arose and made the following
announcement:
'The defense rests."
Jsrome Makse Explanation.
District Attorney Jerome then ad
dressed the court as follows:
"When the court adjourned on Wol-
nesday I had no reason to expect that
this course would be pursued. I ex
pected to be confronted with a ndw
hypothetical question. Mr. Delmaa aald
he would prepare this question and It
would take several hours to pressnt It
'Although I had no knowledge of the
question myself, I devoted the time
since the adjournment In going over
carefully the facte already presented,
feeling that they would be embodied
In that question. 1 did this for the
purpose of cmi-examlnatlon. Much
to my surprise, at !:i0 o'clock yester
day afternopn I was notified of the
Intenyon of the defense to rest Its case.
Under the circumstances, I believe R
only reasonable that I be allowed time
to prepare my rebuttal. You can read
ily aee that I have not even had time
to summon my witnesses."
Thaw In Fine Spirits.
Justice Fltsgerald turned to Mr. Del
maa, who said that the defense would
not oppose any motion to adjourn. The
court then eald:
"Under the circumstances, I think It
well for the people to have an adjourn
ment."
Court than adjourned until Monday
at 10:10 a. m.
Thaw came Into court smiling, evi
dently aware of the Intention to ad
journ the case. Me teemed In belter
nplrlta today than at any time during
the trial.
Thaw brought with him Into court
the pasteboard folder In which ha
brings his mall to court. He called
the attention of Lawyer Dan O’Reilly
to the fact that he had bla papers with
him. while the lawyers had not brought
theirs.
The counsel tables were without the
usual stack of law book, and papers.
The proceedings today lasted but a few.
moments. Thaw than went back to Uta
Tombs.
No Lunacy Commission.
The possibility of a commission In
lunacy haa passed. The case will now .
go to the Jury on Its merits.
"On the evidence aa It now stands.
It will certainly go to tba Jury," aald
Mr. Jerome. "If there la nothing be
tween society and any one who wlahsa
to attack It but a 'brainstorm,’ then
It la Urns to go back to the days of
tba frontier and have eveiy man carry
a gun."
Over this point a lively fight was
looked for that would be settled only
by a ruling by Justice Fltsgerald.
When Lawyer McPtke served on Je
rome the notice that the defense rested
