INSANITY
AT TIME
OF Killing of White Possessed Harry
Thaw, Says DIR. Evans,
Alienist.
fRy Associated Press.l


NEW YORK, Feb. 12-Despite the
fact that today is Lincoln's birthday,
consequently a legal holiday in this
State, there was no effect on the
Thaw trial which went ahead as us
ual.
The announcement of Thaw's coun-
sci that it would take about two days
more to put in the direct case for
the defense. is expected to bring the
trial to a close sooner than was ex.
pected. 1t also indicates that Thaw
will not go on the stand.
The first witness called today was
DR.. Britain Evans, superintendent OF
the State hospital at Morris Plains,
n. J.
Thaw Was Crazy.
Evans occupied the entire morning
session and his testimony was not
concluded when recess was ordered.
Evans declared that when he first
visited Thaw in the tombs August 4,
there were many indications OF
brain storm of explosive or fulmin-
ating condition of
Mental Unsoundness
through which he had recently
passed"
1t now became evident that the de-
fense is endeavoring to show to the
jury that while Thaw was insane
prior to the killing of White and at
the time and Immediately subsequent
to the homicide. the alienists.
who visited him in the Tombs found
that as their visits progressed his
manner changed from storm and
stress to calm and quiet"
Evans's testimony today bore out
this contention. The expert describ.
ed various forms of insanity whose
symptoms he discovered at the time
of his first visit, but Jerome could
not induce Delmas to put a direct
question to Evans as to his opinion
as to the sanity or insanity of the de-
fendant on the witnesses later visits
and examinations.
