tion as to Thaw's sanity at the time
he killed Stanford White.
DR.. Wagner testified yesterday on
the facts presented to him by Attorney
Delmas, that in his opinion Thaw was
insane on the night of the killing. DR..
Evans Was expected to add his opin-
ion IN support OF this contention. after
reading Harry Thaw's "crazy" letters.
In view Of the importance TO the de-

tion answered satisfactorily by their
expert. so that District Attorney Jer-

Evans In reading the letters.
warmest Talk Of Yesterday.
The letters Thaw had written to his
lawyer and TO Evelyn Nesbit were
handed TO DR. Evans yesterday aftst-
noon and court was adjourned until he
finished reading them. When finally
DR. Evans said he had read the epistes
Delmas asked him the same long hypo-
thetical question he had put to Dr..
Wagner on the day before.
Jerome objected to many parts OF the
question and the warmest argument Of
the day between him and Delmas fol-
lowed The District Attorney objected
particularly 20 the manner in which
the operation performed on Evelyn
Nesbit in her school days in New
Jersey was described in the hypothet-
ical question.
Il object that this severe operation
should be so characterized II is per-
fectly well known to counsel It was
the ordinary operation for appendi-
citls." jerome said.
I'VE object to that statement. There
Is no such evidence, and 1t Is not Ia
his power to introduce a fact before
this jury which is not in evidence. and
I must say a strange fact" Delmas re-
torted.
"As the record stands here every
suggestion Of counsel every framing Of
questions. everything through this has
been to instill into the minds OF witt
nesses that this operation was Of a
character not countenancod BY all
physicians" Jerome said. "rhis oper-
alton was performed by the partner
Of Or. Bull"
Il take exception 20 that statement
because Of the misconduct OF the Dis
trict Attorney" said Delmas.
"That question was framed TO de-
celve the jury" Jerome asserted. 1T
leaves an insinuation that is not war.
ranted by the facts"
Girls Mother Told Jerome.
"I insinuate nothing Delmas re-
piled. "I seek to deceive no one. The
District Attorney ought 10 know better
than to accuse me OF an attempt to de-
ceive. May / ask how the District
Attorney heard Of this operation?
From the patient herseh?"
"No. sir" Jerome replied.
"Then from her physician?"
''No. sir"
"Then who told your"
"Her mother"
"Oh her mother performed the oper-
alton, did she?"
Her. mother was present"
"rhe mother then knew OF its char
acter2"
"Yes. the mother knew OF its char
acter.
Justice Fitzgerald asked Delmas to
modify that part Of the Hypothetical
question that related to the operation
after which Dr. Evans replied TO the
long query. He said that IL was his
opinion that Thaw was deranged men-
tally when he killed the architect, that
he did not know the nature and quality
az his act. and that he did not know
Il to be wrong. The direct examina-
ton Of the witness was not finished
when court adjourned.

Among the Spauiards who won fame

deposed by his own men, Nicuessa per-
lshed rnlserabIy by the cruelty Of his
party, vasco Nunez de Balboa was dis

Ptzarro was murdered and his four
brothers cut or, and there was no end
to the assasslnations and executions

The carkserew Palm.

What is known as the corkscrew
palm is a familiar plant to West In
diaus. The palm resembles the bayo-
net variety. but instead of the long.
sharp ssbers springing from the center
OF the palm and reaching upward in
the way they happen to come the cork
screw palm has its spikes Joined to-
gether at the heart, aud they form a
winding row from the base to the top.
1t IL said that these palm leaves inva-
riably wind themselves like cork
screw, from right to LEFT, going up, but
occasionally freak plants have been
noticed where the direction was re-
versed. This Is. however, a very, rare
occurrence. The corkscrew palm Is
purely decorative. 1t grows to height
Of from six to ten feet and reaches a
diameter OF four to six. 1t takes sew
4raI years, even in tropical country,
where all plant and animal life ma
lures rapidly, for one of these curious
palms to grow to full height.

Buying Land In Korea.

Land buying in Korea Is a process
which calls for both time and patience.
says the London Telegraph. The price
at which land may he procured differs
greatly with the skin of the purchaser
ANY hasty attempt to buy hurts the
feelings Of the owner and creates on
position. The best plan is to select the
district on which ones fancy rests and
either settle quietly down there or send
an agent to do 50 instead, letting It be
known in general sort Of way that
one Is disposed to buy. Then the Ko-
reans, who class transactions In land
In the same category with the sale or
purchase Of movable chattels-that Is
to say, as a,mere means OF procuring
or spending money-wil Of themselves
come and offer to sell. Then, by the
exercise Of a little patience, consid-
cradle tract may be very chenpiy sc-
quired In few years.
