Tfeav Is Abort Hit CotaprefcenicsL Nsw York, Special. Harry K. Thaw enluened an Mtmaely doll session of his trial In the Supreme Conrt Thursday by gitlrg out to newspaper mea a brief ttatement in which he accused District Attorney Jerome of having made unprofession al remarks in court, aerting that his wife's testimony was absolute troth and in conclusion declared that Mrs. Thaw's natural and "real good ness" was above the comprehension of tbe prosecuting officer. It was just before adjournment was taken for the day and after man hours of expert testimony as to what was the meaning of extracts from eight letters written by tbe defen dant with their relation to the sanity or insanity of the writer that Thaw gave out his statement in court. The circumstances attending the delivery of the statement to the newspapax men were about as interesting a the statement itself, which reads: "This is Mr. Thaw's second state ment since August 10. "With chances millions to one ? gainst her after the catastrophe ip 901, it is wonderful that Mr H. K. Thaw prevailed in the cross-examination against the prosecution, backed by black leys.

"Mr. Jerome finding his inform ants in certain lines falsifiers, con cluded by more usual methods, which is to his credit. "However, from some of his ques tions and some of his unprofessional remarks in court, it appeared clearly that the natuizl .:id real goodness of tbe witness is r.bove his compre hension. " Dr. Evans and Mr. Jerome spent the entire day in goiug over the eight letters written by Thaw and culling out cf them excerpis on wihch Di Evans based his expressed belief that they were written by a person of un sound inind. , "Do you mean an insane person T" asked Mr. Jerome. "Yes," replied the witness, "but not 'a the sense that the person might always remain insane." This wis the essence of the dav's work. Mr. Jerome seemed as inter ested as the expert in searching out the nbrases in the letters which might be construed as the writings of an insane man and for the first time the jurors were permitted thoroughly to examine photographic copies oi the letter. As the witness and the prosecutor pored tediously over tbe documents, the jurors were enabled to follow them closely. The district attorney apparently wanted the letters to be thoroughly scrutiniz ed and nndenetood hv the mrv. J n - Dr. .bvans went into a long ex planation of the reasons, for his ttiAnrir that the. lettpr shnwed mental instability. A letter written with a ?ead pencil by Thaw to Evelyn Nes- bit, he said, snowed lacic oi a sense pf the proprieties, a loss of the aesthetic sense and various other things which the doctor believed showed tbe writer was of unsound mind, in view of the environment of wealth and luxury in which he had been reared.
