Now York, March 1L—Notwllbitand- lug all that District Attorney Jerome may do, notwithstanding ail the evi dence that bla corpa of alautha may bring to bear In an effort to break down Evelyn Neablt ThaWa atory, through which ahe now appear* to the Jury aa a beautiful young creature whoa* Inno cenoe and goodneaa had no chance by reaaon of the glrllab aurroundlnga of her early childhood, the probability of Harry ThaWa acquittal for the murder of Stanford White aeema to reat on hia own acta—on acta performed fito yea re before he ehot White down; One of thee* acta waa when Harry Thaw married Evelyn Neablt. On that •nine day he wrote hla will. And that document la In the hand* of hla Jury, making aa eloquent a plea In hla behalf aa even the famoua Delmaa can poaal- blymake. And.every letter Harry Thaw wrote after he had come to know Evelyn Neablt'a atory of Stanford White'* villainy make* now a atrong plea for the akvlng of hla life. Prove that He Loved. And there are the letter*. There la an agony of mind, a alow, burning, yateady aenae of outrage dlaplayed In their Incoherences. • And every now and then there are flaahea of great tenderneaa coming out of a dlaordered mind. Theae documents prove that Thaw lovad Evelyn (Neablt aa finely ae any fnan lovea a woman—aa respectfully and honorably—and thay prove he be lieved that tula girl had bean terribly alnned against by Stanford White. It was not until Thaw bad turned DEEP WELL POWER PUMP HEADS, DUNN MAGHJNERY CO., " A arietta Strest. 84 MS . Atlanta, Qa. FOUR MASTED BARK GOES UPON ROCKS Sen Francisco, March 11.—Her an- clicr chain fouled and In the ewlrl of a rushing flood tide.and a equal!, the big four-masted bark Dlrtgo, 134 days out fr.un Ilslilmore and laden with 5,000 tens of navy coal, consigned to the Hare Island navy yard, went ashore "It Alcatrax last .night.

All thla time It has been shown that he was In fear of hla own life—In fear (hat hla enemy, whom he believed In- placable, would cause hla assassina tion, or Indeed himself murder him. There le evidence of thle enemy a few years before threatening to do thla very thing. Jury May Baliavt Experts. And these are proofs that must atand. Whatever Jerome may now prove can only be things against Evelyn Neablt Thaw. It* will be hard for the Jury to believe that Thaw suffered the "brain storm" that the alienists declare be did that night when he suddenly left his wife and friends to kill White. Moreover. Jerome went treading on dangerous ground when ne seemingly tried to make Thaw’* expert* admit that Thaw, aa he alts on trial for hla life, la a maniac. Palpably hla ques tions sought a confirmation of hla own grow ing conviction that Thaw'I* craay. And It la equally true that when Thaw's experts were pressed to declare whether Thaw waa Insane or not at the speedily aa their swift In' tellects would take them there. Did Thaw Knew Wrong? But If the case goes to th* Jury It Is nothing to the Jury whether Thaw la sant or Inaans at the preient time. That will not be the question for them at all. The only question they will have to anower la "Woo Thaw Insane when he shot Stanford White; waa he so mentally dlaordered that he could not tell tbe > difference between right Quite skilfully Delmas had the pert* tell of Thaw's still showring evi dences of manlal derangement for months after the shooting, hut be stopped this line of Inquiry within live months of th* time when Thaw was brought to trial. There is only one point In which the defense failed to produce what eras ex pected of It. It was thought that a let' ter existed sent by White ‘•aa _ to Evelyn Thaw within a little time of the shoot' Ing—a letter plainly exposing Whits planning to attack Thaw's honor his wife’s honor. That LStter May Exist. That lattar may exist and It .may bt produced later In the trial. If It Anally laid with Thaw’s will and Thaw's letters In the jury's bands every sign Indicates that Harry Thaw will be acquitted of murdering Stanford White. It may be that Thaw’s lawyer* have seen their way clear to Introduce this letter as the crowning proof df evidence In Thaw’s behalf to be produced Just before Delmaa makes hla summing up address, an address which. Judging from th* advocata'a grace of diction from the advocate's grace of diction and flashing satire aa dlaplayed In tilt* with Jerome.

A year or so ago I wrote a paper upon judicial reform, so far a* compelling our auperlor rourt Judges to alternate, that met with so much favor with our people that aonte of our Judges thought It necessary to meet It Into Judicial district*, and thus rest alternation to those districts.
