During three of the moat dramatic daya of the Thaw trial. Attorney Coop. an attentive and Interested spectator, upon the Invitation of Jus tice Fltsgerald. He arrived In New York on Monday and from then until after District Attorney Jerome'a sen sational bomb shell waa thrown Into the camp of the defense on Wednee- day. he watched .very - move made by th* famous attorney* and heard every part of the argument. "When I went to New York I be lieved from what I had read lhat Thaw would be acquitted. 1 believed hlin sane, and thought the Jury would be greatly Influenced by the atory of Mr*. Thaw. "Hut now I don't think It takes an expert alienist to see that Thaw Is a mad man. Hla every-action and move- ment seemed to denote to me that he Is a fit subject for th* mad house.
