Error Cannot Be Claimed.

Neither side would challenge nor offer
any further suggestion and there the
matter rested. Counsel for the state said
privately after adjournment that the in
cdent could not constitute error in the
case and that there existed no means
whereby either side could in future plead
it. 1t is thought probable that when it
comes time to swear the jury Tourtel-
Iotte will refuse the oath and compel the
court TO excuse him from serving.

JUDGE VERY MUCH ANNOYED
Exciting Incident In Dull Day=-Dr.
Wagner On >tand--Mrs. VIM.
ThaW To Be Called Later.

New York, March 5.-Interest arous-
ed in today's session of the trial of
Harry X. Thaw by the announcement
that Mrs. William Thaw, the mother of
defendant, would take the witness
stand. was quickly duspd by the con-
tinued cross-eXamination of DR.. Wag-
ner. one of the alienists for the defence,
by District Attorney Jerome DR.. Wag-
ner was on the stand the entire day
and when adjournment until tomorrow
was announced the district attorney
seemed to have much ground in sight
to cover with the expert.
Mrs. Thaw was present in the wit
ness room today waiting to be called,
but she may not be reached before late
tomorrow or Thursday morning.
While decidedly dull in the matter Of
the testimony elected from the witness
todayS session was made notable by
clash between District Attorney Jcr-
ONE and Justice Fitzgerald, at the
climax of which the prosecuting Of
ficer refused point blank t. cite to the
court the authorities on which he was
predicating an argument. Mr.. jerome
was requested by the presiding judge
to submit to him whatever authorities
he had upon the subject
Il have such a high respect for the
court retorted Mr.. Jerome, that
will not submit authorities on Il qucs-
ton of law which is so elemental in
character and upon which the authori-
ties are so abundant that | must pre-
sumo the learned court knows of
them"
With flushed face and Il sharp rap
of his gavel. Justice Fitzgerald said if
the district attorney did not submit
the authorities the court would assume
that he did not know of any. Mr..
Jerome did not submit the authorities
and Justice Fitzgerald ruled in favor
of the defence on the point at ISSUE,
which briefly stated, was the question
as whether the state on ss-cxamina-
ton should be allowed to 80 further
with an expert witness than counsel
for the defence was allowed to go upon
direct examination.
District Attorney Jerome was as de-
fiant il his tone as he was i'll ne words
he uttered. Justice Fitzgerald raped
several times with his gavel. twisted
about impatiently i'll his chair and it
was plainly with much effort that he
retained his judicial composure.
The storm broke in the midst of an
extremely dull morning session when
some of the spectators in the court
room actually were nodding iii their
chairs. During the unusual scene be-
tween the judge and Mr.. jerome, how
ever, there was a hush in the room

which gave emphasis to each word
uttered, either from the bench or by
the prosecuting attorney.
The incident began with an objection
interposcd by Mr.. Deimas for the de-
fence 10 question asked Dr. Wagner
by Mr.. jerome. The district attorney
wanted the witness to repeat certain
conversations he had with Thaw in
the To.nbs. Mr. Dclmas protested that
he had not been allowed to go into the
conversations on direct examination.
He was proceeding at some length to
state the position of the defence when
Mr. jerome interrupted with the re-
mark that the argument did not call
For a stump speech" Mr.. Delmas
protested at this "Offcnsive language
by the learned district attorney" JUS
tice Fitzgerald interposed in the dis
cussion and Mr.. Delmas was soon lost
to view because of the turn affairs
took.
During the course of his argument
District Attorney Jerome placed him
self on record by saying the legal as
sumption before the court is that Har-
~ *. ThaW is insane. He declared the
alieniStS for the defence have shown
Thaw to have been insane as late as
Sept. ~ last, and in the absence of
proof to the contrary the assumption
is that he remains insane
Justice Fitzgerald declared that the
present jury has only to do with the
question Of Thaw's sanity or Insanity
on the night that he shot and killed
Stanford White.
DR.. Wagner was allowed to give his
converse lions with ThaW during the
Ieriod that he believed the defendant
tC be of unSOund mind. He said Thaw
remembered having approached and
having shot White. He protested, how
ever. that he had not intended at any
time to kill the man, but wanted to
have him legally punished.
Much of the day vas given over to
technical questions concerning the
mental and physical examination to
