Thaw is reaching its climax. will know whether, in the greatest legal duel ever fought in an Ameri- can court, the man or the woman has won.

They were the last words of District-Attorney Jerome's magnfficent | gamming up, in which all the resources of argument and denunciation and invective were exhausted to bring discredit upon the defendant, and even more particularly upon Bvelyn Nesbit Thaw. REALIZED JEROME’S POWER. I doubt if Harry Thaw himself realised the wonderful force and power of that terrible arraignment. But I know Evelyn 'Thew did For whatever view one may take of the essential goodness or worthiesmess of her char- acter, however one may judge the truth or falsehood of her story which urged Harry Thaw to kill, any one who has talkefi with her or seen her in court or studied even from afar the trials progress, knows that she is not the cheap and sordid chorus girl which Mr. Jerome painted her yesterday; and I know that not one of Mr. Jerome’s fanatical devotees in that court-room— and he had many—was more fully aware than the fre‘] object of his denen— ciation of its wonderful power and effect. Seated among her husband's relattves, yet, it is said, without fhe‘boné. of womanly sympathy which might bind them together at this moment of com- mon dread, Evelyn Thaw, her black veil thrown fearlessly back, faeed that merciless atiack upon her and the man for whom she has sacrificed so much with the same courage of which she bad gtven proof during her cross- examination. Then she could fence, then she could play her quick and subtle woman’s wit against the prosecutor's attack. But yesterday her hands were tied, her} + Ups sealed. She was like » man in a duel who, missing the first shot, has/ simply to wait as calmly as may be his ry" She Sat during the four hours of Mr. Jerome's summing up in a tense attitude of attention, her straight brows furrowed in a slight frown, her face set in an Impassive mask, over which now and again a wry smile twisted the full carmine ifps into thin lines of pain. Often the smile seemed one meant : to be of derision at the prosecutor's words, but never once was it anything | but & momentary lifting of the veil of stoical endurance which hid the burst-| ing agony within. MOTHER LISTENS CALMLY. ‘The elder Mrs. Thaw seemed to me to mest the ordea! of the summing up ‘with more reserve strength than Evelyn Thaw. She sat {n apparent calmness during the denunciation of her son and gave no sign of the torture it must have been to her mother’s heart. Thaw’s sisters bore the arraign- ment of their brother with similar fortitude, There were many things spoken during that address which no one who heard tt can ever forget, and none of Thaw’s relatives could have been unaware of the power of Mr, Jerome's summing up and {ts possibilities of doom to the defendant. There is no task more thanklegs than that of defending the public weal against the public weakness. Mr. pl doubtless felt. in his own breast all the soft impulses to pity, all the sharp temptations to save, of any one com- ing tn dally contact with a young man, however guilty, in the shadow of death. Yet such was the marvellous force of his presentment of his view of the case that before its end it seemed to me that ‘the high, rasping voice that now filled the court-room and again sank to the merest murmur had ceased to be that of William Travers Jerome, and that blind Justice had stepped down from her niche on the paneled wall above Judge Fitzgerald's head, and | that It was she who called upon the Jurymen to do their duty, and she sent a sbudder through every listener when the cry rang out; ‘engeance is mine, saith the Lord; | will repay!” That cry echoed in Evelyn Thaw’s heart, sounded through the long,| Sleepless vigil of last night.
