stone alleged to have been thrown by

went to Comstock and Jerome, but
got no real aid"
DIR. Evans occupied much time in
detailing his visits to the defendant
and at the conclusion at the request
from Delmas. he told his opinion, as
a man OF science, on Thaw's mental
condition on the day the events hap
pened: ''He showed a highly explo-
sive condition Of mind; showed de-
fective reasoning power; displayed q
peculiarly suspicious manner, and agi-
tated nervous way that was the pic.
ture Of mental instability" The wit
ness considered Thaw's belief in a
conspiracy against him and his belief
that the killing of White was an act Of
Providence were insane delusions.
Evans left the stand at twelye-fiye and
DR.. Charles G. Wagner was recalled.
Wagner corroborated some Of the
points made by Evans, relating to his
conversation with Thaw. The witness
established a number of new points,
the most important Of which was:
''Thaw said to me that he had no idea
of killing White up to the very mo-
ment he shot him; that his sole pur.
pose had been to get evidence against
White and send him to the peniten-
tiary for his oifenses against young
women" ~
The sensational evidence of experts
Evans and Wagner furnished the
strongest links yet welded in the
chain of Thaw's derense! The eel
denee consisted Of Impressions and
cefuc.ions Cleaned by them from CON
versations with Thaw. It ives direct
TO the point, with very little matter
Of character to desuc lie the Jury.
The trend OF the evidence even went
to show that Thaw;s mind that not
given way until the failure Of the SO,
ciety for the prevention OF vice and
the district attorneys ofIlce to act
against Whits convinced him tina,
the archi.act was beyond tl,.' pale OF
statutory law. One or the most sig.
nificant bits Of evidence introduced
by the experts was the delusion un.
der which they claimed Thaw was la.
boring that White had hired Monk
Eastman's gang to assassinate him
The Thaw trial resumed at two seven
o'clock this afternoon.
