Delmas Makes Dramatic Plea in Thaw Case

Attorney William T. Delmas delivered a lengthy closing argument to the jury, portraying Harry Thaw as a protecter of innocent women against Stanford White. He read Evelyn Nesbit's testimony and Thaw’s letters, argued Thaw acted to rescue victims, and invoked unwritten law to justify the defense. The speech lasted over five hours amid court tension.

Final stage of trial Delmas vows to defend Thaw

In New York on April 8 the Thaw case moved toward a verdict as Justice Fitzgerald overruled the lunacy commission finding Thaw sane and ordered the trial to continue. Delmas opened his lengthy appeal charging the prosecution with missteps and urging jurors to weigh Evelyn Nesbit and Stanford White's lives, while defending Thaw's right to due process and the written law.
