Change in Thaw Jury May Be Made on Monday
Reported jury changes loom as the Thaw case moves toward trial for the killing of Stanford White. Prosecutors plan to call patrolmen, a coroner’s physician, a Madison Square Garden foreman, and others to establish the facts. Thaw’s lawyers question whether he should testify and prepare an insanity defense with numerous witnesses while managing a cautious opening by Delmas.
