Allan McEsah6 fz hllI ton to the stand,
 The commission had summoned or. Hamilton at the request of the Dis trict Attorney. As the flientst took tha stand. however, Thaw'B counsel plead ed the professional privilege in bar of any testimony to be offered by him. Dr. Hamilton. himself, asked to be fn- claimed that the defense. by intfo- ducing pr. Hamilton as a witness ln the Thaw trial, had waived the right of privilege. The Commission held that as the privilege had not been waived before it. Dr. Hamilton could not testify as to his personal examfn- ations of Thew.
 District Attorney Jerome took but a desuitory interest fin the proceedings until after 1t seemed the commission was about to close It's inquiry. Then he jumped to his feet and protested that he had been hampered in the lunacy proceedings by the commission barring out pertinent testimony; de- clared the commission had refused to illuminate it's intelligence" from doc- uHentary evidence which he had pre- sented, and had neglected to hear ex~ pert testimony Mir. Jerome asserted with some feeling that if he were d. lowed the proper latitude he could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Thaw is insane today and incapable of advising his counsel in rational man ner.
 All Jerome Desired.
 After the District Attorney had spoken at some length, Chairman h6c- Cure told him that if he could pro- duce any experts who could glve a competent opinion as to Thaw's pras- ent state of mind the c0u1mfBNion would hear them next Tuesday morn- ing.
 'rhat is all desire" said the Dia- trict Attorney.
 When the public session began Disc trict Attorney Jerome seemed souaa4 what irritable and was constantly in~ volved i'm wordy clashes with members of the commission His urgent man. ner of arguing that he had a rirhf to adduce additinal testimony before the commission before 1t rendered ifa verdict was generally regarded as concession that Thaw had made A fas vorable impression during his long ex~ animation
 During the District Attorney'a croa4 examination 1t was said Thaw corn ported himself most ereditabiy ana n4,s swered Mir. Jerome's sharp poinfe.s questions with calmness and delfbnrn ton Thaw appeared in jubiIant epir4 It's when the public was allowed x enter the court room. where the @or,s mission was sitting To a reporfer ~ s,~. leaned over and congratuiated hfrs -,,. the showing he had made, Thaw rns s. piled:

 Thaw's attorneys expressad fhasnE selves as entirely satisfied wlfn fh~s~ clients examination. Aitorefher f,s was on the stand six hours, eou1Sf,s.. E. Ihursdays session. Mfr. Jeron1eiss clare, did not shake Thaw in the la,s-$ MT. Jerome declined to discuae fi.x hearings in any way Whatsoever rTE seemed much disaprointed hoxva~Ns at the ruling which sErt out Dr. Ffs,r, ilton's testimony, the physician 6e~ ing already gone on record as say5s,pv that Thaw Is paranoiac with hTst slight chance of recovery.
