(Copyright) New York, March 11.—Notwlthstand- Ing all that District Attorney Jerome may do, notwithstanding all the evi dence that bis corps of sleuths may bring to bear In an effort Jo break down Evelyn Npeblt TbaWe story, through which aha now appears to the Jury as a beautiful young creature whose Inno- cenee and goodness bad no chance by reason of the girlish surroundings of her early childhood, the probability of Harry Thaw's acquittal for tbs murder of Stanford White seems to rest on his own act*—on acta performed two years before be shot While down. One of these acts was when Harry Thaw married Evelyn Neablt. On that same /ay he wrote hie will. And that document Is In the hands of his Jury, making as eloquent a plea In his behalf as even the famous Delmas can possi bly make. And every letter Harry Thaw wrote after be had come to know Evelyn Nesblt's story of Stanford White's villainy makes now a strong plea for the saving of bis life. Prove that He Leved. And there are the letters. There Is an agony of mind, a alow, burning, steady sense of outrage displayed In their Incoherendes. And every now and then there are flashes of great tenderness coming out of a disordered mind. These documents prove that Thaw loved Evelyn Neablt as finely as any man loves a woman—as respectfully and honorably—and they prova he be lieved that this girl had been terribly sinned against by StanforJ White. it was not until Thaw had turned discouraged from the law. whose agents waved him aside aa a man who told an Impossible tale, that his desperate mind counseled desperate deeds. All this time It has been shown that he wan In fear of hla own life—In fear that his enemy, whom he believed Im placable, would cause his assassina tion. or Indeed himself murder him. There Is evidence of this enemy a few years before threatening to do this very thing. Jury May Believe Experts. And these are proofs that must stand. Whatever Jerome may now pr'Ave ran 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 he 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's experts admit that Thaw, as he alts oa trial for his life, Is a maniac. Palpably his ques tions sought a confirmation of his own growing conviction that Thaw Is craxy. And It Is equally true that when Thaw's experts were pressed to declare whether Thaw was Insane or not at the tilths, he shied wildly pod ran to cover as speedily as their swift In' tellects would take them there. Old Thaw Know Wrong? But If the case goes to the Jury It la nothing to the Jury whether Thaw le sane or Insane at the present time. That will not be the question for them at all. The only question they will have to answer Is, “Was Thaw insane when he ehot Stanford White; was he so mentally disordered that he could not tell the difference between right “WK*, Detmaa had the perts tell of ThaWa still showing evl dances of mental derangement for months after tbs shooting, but he stopped tbls line of Inquiry within live months of the lima when Thaw was brought .to trial. There la only one point In which the defense failed to produce what was ex pected of It. It was thought that a let- ter existed sent by White to Evelyi Thaw within a little time of the shoot fag—a letter plainly Mpostng White aa planning to attack Thaw's honor ynd his wlfe'a honor. That Letter May ExIsL' That letter may exist and It may be produced later In the trial. If It Is finally laid with Thaw's will and Thaw'a letters In the Jury's hands every sign Indicates that Harry Thaw wilt be ‘acquitted of murdering Stanford White. It may be that Thaw'a lawyers hare seen their way clear to Introduce this letter as the crowning proof of evidence In Thaw's behalf to be produced Just before Delmas makes hla summing up address, an address wblch. Judging from the advocate's grace of diction and flashing satire aa displayed In tilts with Jerome, it will be a high privilege to hear. U. S.

I aubmlt the following paper, believing that you will not only give It ■pace, but likewise your eqyndxt sup port. Reformation la the order of the day In all Ihlx broad land of cure, and everywhere the patriotic clane are gathering to bring about governmental reform, and peace, happiness and con tentment to the people. Were evidence—nay. proof—wanted, the writer would merely mention tht unprecedented victory - of our greuteel rltlsen and governor-elect, Hoke Bmlth, over all corporation and political com blnatlone. A year or eo ago 1 wrote a paper upon Judicial reform, ao far ae compelling our superior court Judges to alternate, that met with no much favor with our |>eople thnt some of our Judgee thought It neceeeary to meet It with the proposition to divide the state Into Judicial districts, and thus restrict alternation to those districts. For some reason legislation miscarried and tbs evil continues. 1 say evil, and I mean just what 1 say, and a correction ought to be made. The system le now a division of the state Into Judicial circuits with a Judge to each circuit. It will lie conceded thnt under this deplorable Condition the labor of our Judges Is unequal; that In one circuit there Is an Im mense, amount of legal business and tabor tor the Judgs, and cousaquently an energetic Judge la worked almost to death If he discharges hla duties. In nnother circuit there ta very little liusl. ness, consequently the office Is almost, not quite, a sinecure, and bis honor becomes more skilled as a farmer, hunter, flehemian and yarn spinner than aa a Jurist. Who doubts the truth of title asser tion? Not one honest man who Is ad vised In the premise will say nay lo It. Then we And that there la an evil nestling correction. What la the rem edy? A law should be passed requiting al ternation or the Judges, so that having hold one term of court In each county of a Judicial circuit he passes on to another circuit, and ao continue until he has held all the superior courts In the slate before returning to the Ini tial circuit. , Let us see the good resulting front such a law. ft would equalise the la bor of sll rlrcult Judges. There arc good Judges In every sense of the word. To say the Individual Is an accomplish-1 ed lawyer and akllled Jurist; his de portment Is that of the perfect gentle man: his moral character le beyond question. Of him It may well be eald: “Mark the perfect man. and behold the upright." Each county In our atate de serves the service of such n Judge. Benefit would flow from the associa tion. . There are bars almost entirely com posed of gentlemen and men whose moral conduct and professional ethics are never brought In question for one brief moment. There are other bare wherein a boorish element la found. The administration of lawa In such a circuit would elevate the bar. It would eliminate from the bar that .element— never an honor, often a disgrace to the legal profession. It would raise the tone of professional ethics. Under It gentlemen would be protected and ruf- nanism would seek another place for exhibition. If there be Judges who are wanting In those requisite traits before men tioned. then association as judge with a high-toned bar would either correct him or he would lose his office, because the bar of the state, aa a whole, would not endure the continuance In such office of a boorish man. Under our circuit eyatem la some- limes. unfortunately- too often, some lawyer whom the Judge haa set up as his Maecenas. Tills Maecenas rule would lie very short and Its end to the satisfaction of every decent man. Sometimes a lawyer, whom the Judge presumes of trmnsrsndent Isgal ability, in some way becomes amicus curae, and virtually runs the court. This bust ness would end lo the good of the peo pie and the honor of our atate. Such strong friendships mould not be formed as now exist, and which tfien cause the people to question Ju dicta) Integrity, and thus work an in Jury to the atate, and often to a good man. Ill will of Ids honor (?) toward a lawyer, often publicly exhibited even In court by the judge's manner, could not continue to work Irreparable injury to that lawyer and Impoverish hint, or force him lo move from the circuit to continue his practice. If he depended on It for a living. I'nses of this kind have been known. "Don't employ - . the Judge hsa got It In for him." Oh, that such should be. jese art bul a few reasons shown why such ■ law should he enacted. Tbe benefit to our people, litigants, judges and lawyers It evident, and 1 feel convinced beyond g shadow of a doubt that tilth such law once In op eration we would never reluhi lo our fool's folly.
