THE EVZNING WORLD. if Her Fusban +o Not Untii She Has Signailed Them Her Consent Do the Lawyers for the De- | tense Accept a Tatesman. PRISONER HAS FULL FAITH IN H1IS WIFE’S JUDGMENT, Since the First Trial She Has Made a Study of Insanity---Her Fudgment of Men Good. By Nicola Greeley-Smith. | Is Evelyn Nesbit Thaw a good judge of men? | Upon the answer to that question | the verdict of Harry Thaw’s second jury will depend. For it will be largely a jury of her selection that will try him. | Through the tiresome reiteration | of questions by Mr. Littleton and) Mr. Jerome when talesmen are on the rack the long eyes of the de- fendant's wife search the face of the possible juror narrowly, and quite often it is on the result of a long scrutiny that his acceptance or rejection by the lawyers for the defense depends. When the talesman has been de- clared satisfactory by Mr. Jerome and emerges unconvicted of a strong opinion about the case from Mr. Littleton’s X-ray inquiry into his past, present and future views concerning insanity as a defense and the meaning ot a reasonable doubt, there 1s a brief lull in the proceedings while the. three Thaw lawyers, Peabody and O'Reilly and Littleton confer. | WixX@LA GREELEY-S*iTe. Her Nod Answers the Question. It is then that Thaw turns fn his chair and looks at his young wife till _her faint nod of acceptance or scarcely perceptible movement of rejec-| tion signals her verdict as to the talesman's fitness. | Immediately he has grasped the purport of her signal, the defendant nudges Mr. Peabody, who has urned away to Join the conference of the, three lawyers, Sometimes Mr. Peabody does not respond quickly enough, and Thaw’s {mpetuosity shows itself In an instant and somewhat impatient Tepetition | of the gesture. \ | To Mr. Peabody Thaw communicates Evelyn's and his own opinion of | the would-be juryman, and upon ti depends the withdrawal of the defense’s challenge for actual or implied bias and the talesman’s temporary accept- ance as a juror. Mr. Peabody has heen the least written-up of all the Thaw lawyers, past and present. His duties in court seem to consist chiefly of talking to| the defendant, but outside he is said to be extremely active in the case and | in performing many personal services for his client. | Evelyn Alone Unwearied. For instance, when Harry Thaw wants to send flowers to his wife, and he does this frequently, {t 1s Mr. Peabody whom he asks to select them for him. And when T last saw Mrs. Thaw in her home a huge bowl of pink roses of Harry Thaw’s sending and Mir. Peabody's cholce adorned her reception room. | Of all the persons who have been fn the court since Monday morning Evelyn Thaw alone has betrayed no sign of weariness at the tedium of the proceedings She hears every question asked of talesmen with apparently as much interest as {f It were quite new, and whenever the subject of insanity is broached her interest 1s perceptibly quickened. Wife’s Study of Insanity- During the last trial Evelyn Thaw expressed the regret that she was excluded from the court as a witness because she said she wanted so much to hear the insanity evidence—or, as she phrased it, “the bug testi- mony,” Since then she has read every book on Insanity that she could lay her hands on and has become so learned In {ts various phases that she could almost qualify as an insanity expert in her husband's case. | When a talesman is asked by Mr. Littleton if be has any prejudice ngainst insanity as a defense, and he begins to quibble and differentiate between legal insanity and medical Insanity, Mrs. Thaw always signals her rejection to her husband, She seems to have very positive opinions about the talesmen, and [| recall a conversation I had with her about the Jast jury in which I thought her estimate of the men on it very good—matnly, I must confess, because they agreed with mine. Her Judgment of Former Jury. I told her then that No. 1 on the old jury—the small, suave, conserva- tive, elderly Deming B, Smith—was a bad man for the defense, in my opinion, And she answered “Yes, I am afrald of him,” and asked me what I thought of No. 2, adding: “I am more afraid of him,” Now No, 2 was George Pfaff, who held out stubbornly for murder in the first degree, ~ She sald, too: “I like the big man with the gray mustache,” And! this was Henry C. Harney, who led the forces for the defense, and had | the scuffle in the jury room with Pfaff, I mention these opinions now because I think they are interesting cal indicating Evelyn Thaw’s capacity to judge men, and the first jury being now almost forgotten names, their publication can do no harm, It is my belief that twelve talesmen who get past her searching ecru- tiny into the hiry box will never vote in their entirety to convict her “jusband, OUT OF WORK; SHOT HIMSELF «in Hospital velt spoke to a diplomat In Washington » few davs ago in the following words: vill be arranged in the most sat manner. ‘The last m: recelved from Japan was ged French Che of His Wounds, n the most conciliatory terms thers Francots Hehes, an aged Trench chet, [!* net the slightest’ apprehension of a died in the New York Hospital fate ——-- > - -— from a self-inilicted wound, He ha¢ won out of work and decided to kiit{COTTON LOSS SHOWN IN limself, Evhe French Doarding-he t CENSUS BUREAU REPORT. | ty-sixth st co ed pit ce bo f ‘oun a Arisiaon sa hola| WASHINGTON, Jon. 9—The Census Grohe aa revolver Tiy on | Bureau to-day Issued a report showing the fosr He was hurried away to the) that the number of bales of cotton th nt “NO WAR WITH JAPAN” | fii PARIS QUOTES ROOSEVELT. |, for § PARIS, Jan. 9—The Matin to-day, re-! pales for ferring ngain to the Amertoan-Japanese for 1908.

The explosion of a bomb tn the door- way of No. 89 Macdougal street early to-day has completely mystified the po- ce. The violence of the shock brought every tenant of the house to the stree: and startled the occupants of every house within a radious of a block. The reserves of the Macdougal street atation, fifty yards away, were sha up and hastened to the buflding, but found no one had been injured beyond a few bruises. No. 39 ls a flvo story tenement at the southwest corner of King and Macdou- gal streets, Moritz Lipschitz's hand laundry is on the ground floor, The building !s owned by Johnson & Co. and oceupled mostly by Irish familfes, Lip- schitz Js Yiddish, hence the police are net disposed to credit the outrage to the Black Hand. The damage wrought by the bomb was peculiar, It partly wrecked the | front of the laundry, and broke out the vault glasses in the sidewalk, but the front windows of the laundry are in- tact, while all those in buildings on the opposite side of the street were demol- ished. Policeman Christopher © Kougseth searched in the det and found the ewspaper in which the bomb had evi- dently been wrapped, and three sections of corrugatd tron p!pe two and one-half Inches In diameter. The bomb, judg- from the fragments, was eight inches long, and was plugged up and the plugs in both ends screwed In, After the explosion the reserves quiet- ed the frigt the neighbc ers, but could find no trace of them So far as the police could learn, no one in the house has re: ening letters, and If Lips had any enemins, except a few sm ys in the | yleintty, no cne knew of it.
