4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Ke8
One of Black's more interesting defenses to the Jerome Gambit involves not capturing the Knight on e5 – see "In the Beginning..." and "Critical Line: 5...Kf8 Parts 1, 2, 3 and Revisited" – but Black's King is much safer on f8 than he is on e8.
6.Nxc6
This move is stronger and more thematic than the otherwise Jerome-ish 6.Qh5+.
6...bxc6
According to Rybka, Black's best here is 6...Qh4, and play may continue 7.d4 Bb6 8.Nb4 Qxe4+ 9.Qe2 Qxe2+ 10.Kxe2 Bxd4 11.Nd5 Kd8 with a slight edge to White.
With Black's King on f8, the capture 6...dxc6 would maintain Black's advantage. That doesn't work well with the King on e8, however: 7.Qh5+ Kf8 8.Qxc5+ Qd6 9.Qe3 Nf6 10.e5 Ng4 11.Qf4+ Black resigned, Wall,B - Gebba, Chess.com, 2010.

Further research might focus on the game chesspsychoten - fao, FICS, 2002, and the thematic move 8.Qe5+!? which produces a modified and successful version of an attack on the Whistler Defense: 8...Qe7 9.Qxh8 Qxe4+ 10.Kf1 Qe6 11.Qxh7 Qf6 12.Qxg8+ Ke7 13.f3? Ba6+ White resigned.

9.Qc3
Black resigned. Two pawns down, King stuck in the middle of the board, no counter-play: he's had enough.
