Jerome urges first degree murder verdict in Thaw case
District Attorney Jerome delivers a blunt closing demand for the life of Harry K Thaw arguing the killer acted from vengeance not duty. He ridicules Thaws insanity plea and asserts White wronged Evelyn Nesbit while predicting the jury will return first degree murder or, at least, second degree with punishment for the real crime. Justice Dowling delays charging the jury until tomorrow morning.
