n " Murdered Man's Brother in Law Tells of Chat with Thaw Previous to Killing, DELMAS FIGHTS TO PREVENT TESTIMONY Judge Says Jury Is Entitled to All Facts and Evidence Goes Intimation of Early End Ending - ing Ending of the Noted Trial, By Associated Press. NEW YOWC, March 12. The end of the Thaw trial at last seems to be in sight. Tentative plans for the final stages of tho tiial were agreed upojt today oy tiio opposing counsel, ovou to tho detail of allotting timo for tho sum ming up. .leromo at last burned behind him all his bridges leading to a lunacy com commission - mission commission and is irrevocably pointing his ease to proving Thaw sane when ho shot White and that, being sane the crime constituted murder in the first degree. Within ten days or a week tho case should be in the jury's hands. Jerome today played probably the strongest card he holds evidence which came to his hands but a few days ago, which undoubtedly caused him to aban abandon - don abandon tho idea of trying to send White's slayer to the madhouse and to try for a straight conviction under the criminal statutes. The evidence came from Mrs. Stanford White's brother, Mr. Clinch Smith, who told a remarkable story of a long conversation which he had with Thaw just before the shooting. It seems that Thaw sat for so mo time with Smith during tho first part of the performance and discussed with him a variety of topics in a manner, Smith says, such as any sane man would talk. SmUh gavo the conversation in detail. Chats Boforo Murder With the brother-in-law of White, Thaw discussed tho play, Wall street, common occurrences and his plans, of other things including a "buxom bru brunette," - nette," brunette," whom Thaw said ho was anx anxious - ious anxious for Smith to meet. Thaw said he and his wife were goiiig abroad in the summer. There was nothing in the reported conversation of Thaw's intent to inflict bodily harm to anyone. Smith did say, however, that Thaw, not having a re served seat, roamed about the roof gar den continually, looking in tho direction of the spot whore he subsequently killed White. Delmas, for tho defense, bitterly fought the introduction of this testi testimony - mony testimony for nearly two hours, renewing the argument he begun yesterday. .Justice Fitrgcrald held that in the in in-terts - terts in-terts of justico the jury was entitled to all the facts. It wns ono of tho 'most serious blows the judge has dealt the defense since the trial begun. Other Now Witnesses There .was another ixdiceman on the stiuid today who saw Thaw the night of the tragedy and who declared the de defendant - fendant defendant at that tirne acted in a rational manner. Jerome summoned to the stand Dr. Carltmf Flint, the physician to whom Evelyn Nesbit is said to have gone with ""Tack" Barrymorp, the actor. Delmas objected and Dr. Flint was not allowed to testify. As the last witness of the day the district attorney called Rudolph Eck Eck-inver, - inver, Eck-inver, the photographor, who took the pictures o Evelyn Nesbit which have been introduced n evidence. The pho tographer was employed by White He had no sooner been sworn than it de developed - veloped developed that Ecktnyer had lso been employed by While to nlnko a photo photographic - graphic photographic copy of the affidavit which Ev Evelyn - elyn Evelyn Nesbit is said to have .made in Abraham Hummel V office; Eckmycr identified the negatives made from the affidavits, but they were not offered in evidence. Jerome next tried to get tho photographer to fix the dates of certain pictures for which Evelyn Nesbit posed, hoping thus to establish the day she says she 'had the experience with White in tho Twenty-fourth street hpuse." Dolmas ob objected - jected objected on tho ground that tho evidence tended to contradict Mrs. Thaw's story. Jerome said ho desired to take advan advantage - tage advantage of thp waiver Mr. Delmas had mado at tho beginning of the trial in regard to rebutting Mrs. Thaw's story. Jcrom.0 Gets Excited "If you let me fix tho date of theso pictures," ho said heatedly, "I will show that on tho night following tho day they were taken, when Mrs. Thaw says she was ruined by White, sho was not in the Twenty-fourth street house at all." Jerome fairly shouted the last words and pounded tho table. Delmas said ho must stand upon the objection and ho wns sustained. JIc then moved that "tho district attorney's improper re remarks, - marks, remarks, for which had been given much emphasis of voico and gesticulation, be stricken out .of the records." Joromo retorted by asking the court to instruct tho jury that the allagcd ravishment, of Evolyn Nesbit had noth nothing - ing nothing to do with the enso. Justice Fitz Fitz-gorald - gorald Fitz-gorald admonished the jury to pay no attontion to remarks addressed to tho court. Exports will nob b6 reached before Thursday and, figuring upon tho dis disposal - posal disposal of ono day each, the last of tho

morning. Believes Many Asphyxiated Lieutenant Toreoliu, one of the wounded survivors, believes thnt every body below nt the timo of the explosion was undoubtedly asphyxiated by fumes arising from tho magazines or tho com bustion of powdor. Tonight IfiO wounded moit nro being cared for at hospitals or in homes, in addition to a number of people in tho town who were struck by projectiles from the explosion. A two-year-old child was instantly killed by one of the missiles. The lire is now practic practically - ally practically out and as soon as tho battleship is free of deadly fumes, probably some time tonight, the work of bringing out the bodies, will be begun. Seek Causo of Horror PAWS, March 12. Inspector Gen General - eral General Admiral llieniiime exprossed tho opinion that tho explosion on tho Iona was caused by a spontaneous combus combustion - tion combustion of powder, which disintegrates af after - ter after a cortaiu time and requites constant inspection for safety. Spontaneous com combustion - bustion combustion was tho cause of tho explosion of tho Toulon powder magazine in 1800. The minister of marine received a dispatch from Toulon at a lato hour tonight saying that while the number of victims is considerable it would not be tm largo as at first reported.

"Would I bo justified," asked Biggy, "in hereafter refusing to allow any ono to see Ruef other than the attor attorneys - neys attorneys and immediate family?
