fnissloners Will be the examination o
the aIicnIst. Dr. Hamilton. The new
that nc had been subpoenaej was
surprise. as II had been hinted b,
Chairman Mcclure on Thursday tina
no medical experts would be called b!
the commission.
The peculiar position Dr. Hamilton
bears toward the case Is that he tes.
tified for the defense.
He was one Of the first experts re.
tained by the defense. He examined
Thaw not long after he killed White
and he was furnished with data gath.
cred In Europe and elsewhere by
Thaw's original counsel as to Thaw's
pathological antecedents prior to his
shooting White, including his trips
with Evelyn Nesbit and the medical
history Of the family. He was quoted
as saying that Thaw was 1opelessly
insane and II was while he was on the
stand having beer called by the de-
fcnse that the appointment Of the lu-
macy commission was applied for,
He will probably be examined when
Thaw's examination is finished and
VIII be questioned at length by the
commission as to his reasons for be-
lieying Thaw paranoiac. Fresh sem
sations are looked for In consequence.
Now that DR.. Hamilton has been
subpoenaed. II Is rumored that other
alienists win follow him before the
commission. There Is. therefore. much
speculation az to when the commission
VIII be able to reach conclusion and
report TO Justice Fitzgerald. In any
event the hopes cherished by Thaws
counsel and by the prisoner himself
that the commission would close its
work with his examination nave been
shattered.
The persons In the Tombs, who have
had anything to DO with Thaw since
he has been confined there win also
testify before the commission. Inclu-
ded In this number are Drs. Mcclure
and Campbell. respectively the pris-
on physician and his predecessor, and
such clergymen as have talked with
defendant.
