When Justice Fitzgerald had ascended to the bench Delmas arose, and in a low voice said: "The defense rests." Jerome then said he would have to ask for an adjournment of the case until Monday morning. 'There's not the slightest objection on our part," said Delmas. Justice Fitzgerald then ordered an adjournment.

Jerome said he was not prepared today to add anything further to Ms statement of last night that the evidence he will offer in rebuttal will be before the Jury by Wednesday evening. He added the case should go to the jury Friday. Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was in the witness room today when court adjourned. She Immediately went to the Tombs to visit her husband.

Jerome is still receiving many threatening letters, which- abuse him for prosecuting Thaw. Some writers threaten that if Thaw is convicted to How Jerome Into atoms, boil him in oil, shoot him or do other cruel things. It was reported around the criminal courts building after the trial had been adjourned, that Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has been subpoened by Jerome to appear as a witness for the prosecution rebuttal. No verification of the report could be obtained however.

The district attorney's office refused to confirm or deny the story.

During his speech he said: "I lost my reputation, gentlemen, upon a bill as righteous as the ground where the Savior stood," referring to the "Allen" bill. "I wag the only man who had the courage to stand here years ago and vote against the reconsideration of the Allen bill, which if it had been left, up on the statute books of the state of Illinois would have yielded to the- city of Chicago 5 per cent, of the gross receipts of every dollar earned by the street railways of Chicago. "There is no man can call me to his chamber and make me change my course in life unless I believe he was right" Intimating that Governor De-neon had brought pressure to bear upon members of the assembly to vote for the appropriation.

"And here comes the governor asking us for this enormous sum. It doesn't make him any more truthful 1f he is governor." Allen found fault with what he considered the extravagance In the payments to the certified accountants who have been at work on the case. Ap-Madoc's interruption with the declaration that the charges were the same as are usually paid to experts of this clans, only increased Allen's Indignation. "I understand these jre certified accountants," he shouted. "Who certifies them? None of them have certificates worth a cent.

Yet they are employed in preference to equally capable men living here in our own state. 1 can find them in Vermilion county, I can find them here in Sangamon, and 1 can find them in McLean county all over the state I can find accountants Just as good asl they had these bob-tailed certificates hanging to them."
