anenists for the defense, had been
concluded. DR. Evans had been under
fire for more than three days.
In questioning DR.. Evans Mr. Je-
rome asked if the statement in the
question of the fact that Thaw. after
killing Stanford White, walked away
with the utmost GOODNESS and deliber-
alton was a factor considered by DR..
Evans in forming his opinion that
Thaw was of unsonnd mind at the
time. This was a factor, the expert
replied, taken in connection with all
the other circumstances. 1t indicated
to him that at that time Thaw had no
feeling that he had done wrong.
Thaws statement to a fireman, to
whom he gave up his revolver, HE
ruined my wife" threw some light up
on the defendants state of mind. 1t
indicated to the expert that the suspi-
cion that Mr.. White had wronged his
wife was still in Thaw's mind.
Dr. Evans insisted that an insane
person might havA certain knowl-
edge Of what was going on around
him.
Actions Not Important Says Expert.
Mr.. Jerome in his attempt to show
that Thaw acted sanely after the shoot
ing reminded the witness that at nc
time had Thaw asked why he had been
arrested and had submitted quietly to
his captors. The district attorney sug
gested that these were the actions of d
normal man who had known what he
was doing. but the expert considered
that no importance as regards the san
ity of Thaw was attached to these.
The fact that Thaw walked to
White and turned very quietly be
fore he shot him indicated nothing to
the expert regarding the prisoner S
! state of mind
BY the time Thaw was in the street
his words indicated, according to DR..
Evans. that there had been Il readjust-
ment of his mental processes and that
he knew he had killed Stanford White.
Harry X. Thaw enlivened an ex-
tremely duh session by giving out to
newspaper men brief written state
ment in which he accused District At
I torney Jerome of having made unpro-
fessional remarks in court.
Harry Thaw's Statement.
The statement is as follows:

ference with the general arrangement.
The Board has visited different areas
suggested for the location of the dis
poSal plant and is unanimous in the
choice of the site recommended in the
Engineers report, which is sufficient
ly large to take care of the increase in
population. Within few feet of this
site sand of the best quality-an eS-
sential in the construction OF the
plants found in large quantities.
The Board desires to express its en-
tire satisfaction with the work done
by MeSSrS. Williams, Proctor and
Potts, and its confidence in the plan
recommended by them, and now de-
termineS that:

ting the tabulations, be printed
Alderman Twining moved the board
express its high appreciation of the
work of the Commission and that
thanks be extended Pruden & Burke
for purchasing the land needed.
The large wall map attracted con-
siderable attention. 1T was made
from new surveys made by the en-
gineers employed by the Commission,
showing the roads, buildings and con-
tours. The system as proposed was
also shown. In general there is a
twenty inch sewer of iron pipe extend
ing from the disposal works to the
lowest point of Ridgedale avenue. The
main sewer extends through Abbett
avenue and along the Whippauy river,
crossing under the Lackawanna r. r.
at the river bridge. One branch the
largest, follows the stream through
the Rosevear Mill property under
Speedwell avenue and through the old
rink property, crossing Atno avenue,
where there is again division, one
branch caring for the Early Mills
street section, while another branch
crosses Washington street near the
brook and terminates at Soaring ave-
nue. in Morris township.
Another branch follows the shore of
Pocahontas Pond from Race street to
Speedwell, caring for the sewage on
both of the Speedwell hills. There
are of course numerous subdivisions
from the trunk lines, practically all of
which are over private property. The
sewage from the watershed west of
South street and south of Court street
is collected at the low points and
pumped over the ridge tt the main
system by electors located in cham
bers in the roads.
The main line as it will be located
runs over into Morris township at
Soaring avenue, but it is necessary to
drain the end OF Western avenue,
Chestnut and Cherry streets. Admir-
al Cooper thought that permission
could be readily obtained for this line
if the residents in the township whose
houses are passed by the line are given
the right to use it.
Another long line over private lands
is at the rear of the properties along
Western avenue and a shorter one
runs between Western avenue ano
Chestnut street in the present lane
| Another line runs across lots from
Washington place to Rldgedale ave
nue. and still another from the Lin
coin street sewer to the main sewer
Still another line runs from South
street around to the end of HeadleJ
road.

GOOD WATER SECURED
At Depth of 1874 to IA feet at
Power House. Air Compress
r. to Be Used.

The six inch well at the power
house was completed Monday.
Good drinking water has been
secu ed and in large volume.
The estimated yield of the well is
100, 900 to 10000 gallons daily.
The depth of the well is 1914
feet, the screen covers from 1874
to ia feet, which is about the
extent of the water bearing
sand. The extra 20 feet was
put down into the clay to give
the pipe more stability and also
to provide a receptacle for sand
which will sift through the
strainers at first. Yesterday
morning the water had risen in
the we'll to within % feet of the
surface. The water will be
forced out by air cOmpressOrs,
which have been ordered and
are expected here within the
next three weeks.
The standpipe, water mains
and reserve basin will all be
thoroughly cleaned, SO that the
new water will be entirely free of

vide ample water for all emer-
