night of their wedding in Pittsburg
There were so many interlineations
additions aud erasures, that Justice
fitzgerald held the documents were
not admissible until the changes were
proved. Mr., Delmas said he would
later endeavor to do this, as the wills
and the interlineations and u codici
by Harry Thaw had to do with tn,
proof tending to show the insanity ol
the defendant. IT came out in the dis
cussion of the wills that the name oi
Stanford White occurred in Thaw's
testament,
