RESUME OF THAw TRIAL

What promised to be a very dull
session of the Thaw trial was made
notable in the court annals OF New
York city by District Attorney Jerome
placing himself in the position OF
openly defying the presiding judge
He declined point.blank to submit GER
tain authorities to Justice Fitzgerald
on the ground that the question oil la"
involved was so elemental and the au-
thorities so abundant that he must as
sumo the court to have knowledge OF
them. DR.. Wagner was on the stand
oil day, Mrs. William Thaw waiting IN
the witness room.
Mrs. William Thaw took the witness
stand in behalf of her son Harry ana
told of the change in his mental state
after he had heard Evelyn Nesoil
story She broke down twice, ana
was treated with great consideration
by Mr.. Jerome. In dispute with
Mr.. Delmas, the district attorney
made his first public threat OF asking
for a commission in lunacy.
Counsel for Harry X. Thaw sur
prised District Attorney jerome by
announcing that their case was closed.
Mr. Jerome said that on the evidence
as 1t stood he would got to the jury
and not ask for a commission in
lunacy He thought the case might
be given to the jury by Friday, March
Is.
The defense in the Thaw case hav-
ing rested, the trial was adjourned to
give Jerome a chance to arrange his
testimony in rebuttal. Mrs. Evelyn
Thaw was subpoenaed to bring into
court letters from Stanford White.
May Mackenzie and Howard Nesbit
also will be called on to testify. 1t
was reported that if Thaw is acquit,
ted his family will seek to separate
him and Mrs. Thaw.
Harry Thaw received a long com
munication from Dolphin M. Delmas
his senior counsel, and Prosecuting
Attorney Jerome and his experts
framed a hypothetical question.

Former Insane Hospital
Patients Testimony Not Ad-
mitted By Judge Wood
WILLIAM DEWEY RECALLED
Mitne.. Who Caused Sensation satur-
day Examined Nor. FuIly-His Tes.
timony Identified w. J. Davis as Man
Who H.pdles Guns and Ammunit'o"
Witness Called Ia Rehuttal.

Roise. July 15.-When the Haywood
trial was resumed today. Judge Wood
announced he had decided to sustain
the objection of the defense to the ad-
mittance in evidence of records of the
state insane asylum, showing commit
ment to that institution of John D.
Elliott who, as witness for the de-
fense, testified to a long conversation
which he said he had with Harry Or
chard1~in November, 1905.
The court cited statute which
provides that insane persons shall not
be accepted as witnesses. Apparently
he said. the prosecuting attorneys
knew Of Elliott's commitment when he
appeared on the stand, and they should
have objected TO his testimony at that
time.
William Dewey, the witness who
startled the court room Saturday by
confessing to participation in the
Occur dAlene riots and attack on the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill, was
recalled to further identify w. j. Da-
Wis as the man who handed out guns
and ammunition the day the mob
started for the mill. The defense
questioned him further as to his motive
for testifying at this time. Several
witnesses were called to rebut te tes-
timony as to the Bradley explosion, es-
pecially the theory of the defense that
the explosion was caused by gas.
Harry Orchard was next called. He
was in the chair about twenty minutes
The questions of the state We're few
and in less than five minutes Orchard
vas, tulned over for cross examination.
Attorney Richardson brought out q
new feature when he asked If Orr
'chard.s maternal grandfather was not
insane on the subject of the confession
OF imaginary crimes. Orchard admitted
that his uncle. Peter Mckinney, who
lived In North Cumberland county, On
tario, had hanged himself while insane.
He denied all knowledge of grand
father named Patrick. This cross ex-
animation was based on letter re-
3ceived by the defense from B. K.
McKinstrey, Of Alameda, Pa. The
writer claimed he received his infor-
nation from Mrs. Margaret Butt, Of
Wooler, Ontario, who was a neighbor
,,f Patrick Mckinney, a grandfather Of
.Horseley or Orchard. He said Nc
kinney was am ''old style country gem
s tleman, but he became insane and
9.aved OF the crimes he had committed
IN Ireland AS result his family kept
SHIN chained for years.
n Orchard appeared a little paler than
when ON the stand In the direct cross
examination, but he>showed the same
.fuiet self possession. In the last half
