The Thaw Case.
THE TRIAL RESUMED. New York, April 13. The (rial of Harry Thaw for the murder of Stanford White has been resumed, Mr Delmas, counsel for Thaw, addressed the jury, contending that the only assertion in the evidence against the truth of Mrs Thaw's story was the word of the lawyer "Abe" Hummel, whose evidence was obvious perjury, tor the affidavft alleged to have been signed in Hummel's office by Mrs Thaw represented him as her legal adviser. This Hummel had denied under oath, because otherwise he would have been unable to give evidence at all against her. In the course of his address Mr Delmas made an almost direct appeal for recognition of the " unwritten law," urging the jury to " do as they would be done by."
