Jury Complete Trial Monday Thaw case shows jury makeup
The second jury to try Harry K. Thaw for the Stanford White killing is completed. Five jurors were sworn, all middle aged or older, mostly married or widowed, and comprised of business people. Evelyn Thaw lauded the jury as fair and clean, while District Attorney Jerome called it better than last year’s. The defense voiced contentment, and opening arguments were set for Monday as the state prepares direct proof and rebuttal witnesses. A motion to deposit Mrs. Thaw’s deposition was planned, and Thaw’s legal team announced a defense of stuporous melancholia, a mental illness described by doctors as impairing realization of events.
