THAW WILL MAY
PROVE HIM INSANE
Continued from Pnre onel

to permit of the Introduction of evil
dence in accordance with Justice Fitz-
gerald's ruling. AS Mr.. Jerome prob
ably will be glad of the delay before he
takes up the difficult task of cross-eX-
amining the young wife, he is expected
to consent to the plan.
In that event Mr. Delmas will first
attempt to get in evidence Harry
Thaw's will, which was ruled out on
Friday because the many interlinea-
tions had not been sufficiently proved.
Justice Fitzgerald held the will must
be shown to have been in it's present
condition when it was signed
Mr.. Delmas is very anxious to have
the will go in evidence, believing 1t
will go further than any other doc
umentary proof he can produce to show
the effect Evelyn Nesbits story of her
treatment at the hands of Stanford
White had upon the mind of the de-
fendant
Although counsel deny that the in
formation is altogether accurate, it
leaked out today that one of the pro-
visions in Harry Thaw's will is the
setting aside of a sum Of $4,000 for
the prosecution of all persons who
may be concerned in case of the death
of the testator by violence. The prob
able instigator of this anticipated act
of violence is said to be revealed in
the provision.
Another paragraph, it is reported,
made provision for fund for the ben
eft of young women who, the will de-
clared, suffered treatment at the hands
of Stanford White similar to that of
his wife. The reports even go as far
as to say that the names of Mr..
Whites alleged victims are included
in the clause of the will relating to
this subject.
Thaw's will also made provision for
Howard Nesbit, Evelyn's brother, who,
it has been reported would take the
stand in opposition to his sister.
Young Nesbt has been in constant
attendance at the trial in company
with the late Stanford Whites secre-
tary, but never has gone near the
group of Thaw's relatives. The rest
of Thaw's property was to go to his
wife.
Attorney as Witness
Mr.. Delmas, it is said, may call to
the stand on TICnday an attorney from
Pittsburg who will be asked as to the
interlineations made i'm the will and Is
expected TO prove they were put there
at the time the testament was signed.
Failing to show that each one of the
interlneations can be remembered by
the witness. Mr.. Delmas will offer the
codicil to the will, which is i'm the de-
fendants own handwriting without in
terlineations.
1t is not definitely known whether all
the references to Stanford White are i'm
the codicil. but it is known some OF
them are.
Evelyn Thaw also signed a will on
the night of the wedding, and it is be-
leived that i'm il she carried out her
previous stipulation than none of her
relatives save her brother should have
any of Thaw's money. Several of
Thaw's unusual and disconnected let
ters introduced in evidence have fire.
quently referred TO his determination
that Eyelyn's mother should not have
any share in his property whatsoever.
In the event of his wifes death the
property should revert to the William
Thaw estate.
May Recall Mrs. Thaw
If the viii is finally admitted in evi-
dence Mr. Delmas then may ask to re-
call Mrs. Thaw to Anish her narrative.
Thaw's counsel do not ike the idea OF
the interruption 90 her story continuing
