Short trial hinted in Thaw case with startling defense
New York reports a brief direct case against Harry Thaw for the Stanford White murder at Madison Square Garden. Prosecution likely calls about five witnesses to show motive and sequence of the shooting, while Thaw’s defense may lean on insanity and unwritten law. The district attorney aims to limit sensational evidence, with possible delay or transfer to an asylum if Thaw is deemed sane.
