ERoME TAKES MUCH TIME.
Now Believed That Defense Cannot
Conclude II. Case This Week, as
Evans Will Be Kept on the Stand by
jerome Tomorrow-Evans Declares
Thawn Insane When Will Was Made

New York, Feb. 28.-District Attor-
ney Jerome today continued his cross
examination of DR.. Britton D. Evans.
one of the alienists for the defense in
the trial Of Harry Thaw for the MIR
der Of Stanford White. The entire
morning was taken up with questions
concerning the details Of certain OF
Thaw's letters which have been admit
red in evidence. Evans would examine
the letters closely from time to time,
and Jerome was obliged to repeat some
of his interrogations many times bee
fore securing what he considered def
mite answer. In the end Evans said
the letters convinced him the writer
was insane at the time Of writing, but
not insane in the sense that he would
always remain insane" the expert
added.
There were only fifty SPECTATORS in
the court room when the proceedings
began today, and half Of these had
left by the time luncheon recess was
ordered. The long drawn out cross
examination of Evans precludes the
possibility of the defense concluding Its
case this week.
Thaw paid little attention to the tes-
timony today, but sat in his usual
place, reading letters and chatting
with his lawyers. Just before recess
jerome stated that Evans cross exam
ination will require all Of tomorrow.
Or. Evans on Stand.
DR.. Evans was recalled when the
Thaw trial reopened this morning. Ev-
ans. after reading the letters placed in
evidence, and Thaw's will and its CO.
dicil, for the purpose Of determining
whether Thaw was insane at the time
they were written, said that some of
the letters showed that the writer dis
played signs of mental instability, but
not insanity in the sense that he would
remain permanently insane. He went
into a long explanation for the rea-
sons Of his theory Evans also said
that some of the letters were addressed
to the girl for whose hand the writer
was suing.
Would the fact that the writer had
been travelling thru Europe with a
young woman as man and wife, tho
not married, have any effect upon your
opinion%
NO for man under those circum
stances may love woman just as
much as tho she were bound to him
with holier ties"

Where Youth will never enter more.

Heard not the futtering wings.

Grew tired of earthly things:
And yet-what earthly things remain
Since Love can never come again?

But o, the days when here with me
