GOES BEFORE THE SENATE
BY WATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, March 19-(Special }
President Roosevelt has probably brought
on hard fight by his appointment of
John Il. Safer of Columbus, o., as addl-
tional judge of the southern district of
the state. 1t is almost certain that both
Senators Foraker and Dick will strongly
oppose the confirmation when Congress
meets again, and If they do the question
of their strength in the Senate compared
to the Presidents will be demonstrated.
1t was Senator Foraker who put
through the last Congress the bill Great
Ing an additional judge. He had every
reason to believe he would be permitted
to name the judge and acting in harmony
WIN senator Dick, he presented the
name of Judge John j. Adams of Zanes-
VILE 1t was believed Judge Adams would
be named but the President suddenly
turned from him. The only backing
which Mr.. Safer had was that of the
Columbus Bar association There is a
question as to whether Mr. Slater can
receive pay for his services on the bench
until he is confirmed by the Senate. Ac-
cording to prior rulings of a controller
- 49, treasury an appointment should
be made while the Senate is in session
II there is a vacancy.
After the President signed the bill
creating this Ohio judgeship there was
technically a vacancy for a number of
days before the Senate adjourned. If the
rulings apply to this case Mr.. Safer an
not draw salary until he-has been con-
nrmed by the Senate, which may never
be the case if the Ohio senator's make
a determined fight
Representative Gaines of Tennessee ae-
clares that he will continue in the next
Congress his laudable fight to force men,
ebrs of the House to remain in Wash
lngton and attend to the business for
Whlch they are paid $500 per anntm.
with the salary increase Mr.. Gaines be-
heVes there is now no excuse for alb
sence and when they are not present lie
believes they should be locked
Now that the salaries have been in
creased the mileage should be reduced.
nave made up my mind hereafter to
accept mileage only for my actual train
and Pullman fare, which amounts to only
cents per mile instead of the 10 cents
per mile allotted by Congress. 1t seems
ridiculous that the delegate from Hawaii
should receive more than $4,000 a year
and Seyeno Payne considerably less than
SaOo' The only proper solution of the
mileage problem is to pay actual travel
ing expenses to and from the sessions
of Congress-.

the knowledge of an insane man. DR..
Wagner was finally excused as the usual
afternoon recess of fifteen minutes was
ordered
After recess DR.. Brtton d. Evans, who
has been one of the chief alienists for
the defense, was recalled to answer the
hypothetical question as formed by Dis
trict Attorney jerome. Using this ques-
ton as a basis DR. Evans declared that
in his opinion Thaw when he killed
White did not know the nature or quality
of his act, or that the act was wrong.
District Attorney jerome began his
cross-examination by asking DR.. Evans
how much time he had given to the
study of the hypothetical question
Il dill not time myself answered DR..
Evans.
ibid you determine what sort of in
sanity Harry x. Thaw was suffering
FROM?
81 did"
1T was that kind of insanity which,
though defective, rendered him incapable
of knowing that his act was wrong
Has ii any name?"
"All who study the literature on this
subject select their own classifcations, ;"
replied DIR. Evans.
"Whar name do you give it?"
II have not given it any name. 1t was
one of the forms of insanity of Adde'S
ence."
Didn't Know.
When Harry X, ThaW' wrote the
letters, exhibit A TO l. DR.. Evans thought
lie knew what he was doing
When Harry *. Thaw walked down the
aisle just before he shot Stanford White
did he know he was approaching STAN
ford White?'" asked MI Jerome.
After carefully examining the plan of
the garden DR.. Evans said he thought
Harry X. Thaw'' knew he was walking,
but there was nothing in the hypothetical
question to show that he knew he was
approaching Stamford White"
''When he raised the revolver above
his head and unloaded it and broke it,
did he know what he was doing?" con-
TIMED Mr.. jerome.
II don't believe he realized what he
was doing except in an insane way?"
replied DIR. Evans.
Every move Thaw made that night was
taken up by Mr.. Jerome, and in each
case Dr. Evans was asked If Thaw knew
what he was doing.
HE had an insane realization" replied
the witness.
DR.. Evans Excused.
DR.. Evans was finally excused at 4:39
D. m. 1t was expected that Dr. Evans
would be the last witness of the trial
until Mr.. Delmas Immediately asked for
the production OF the letters sent from
Pittsburg to the clerk of the court by j.
Denniston Lyon, vice president OF the
United National bank of Pittsburg. Mr..
Lyon had custody of Thaw's WILL and
when he was on the witness stand was
asked by District Attorney Jerome IL he
had received any letters from Thaw. He
said he had and Mr.. jerome asked him
to send the letters on. They have never
been introduced in evidence or referred to
in any way
Mr. serome said some OF the letters
were in his office, where they had been
copied He had not thought that the
letters were to be used and he neglected
to return them to the court.
After they were sent for Mr.. Delmas
spent some time In examining them.
1t appeared for a time that some of
the letters were missing-one in particu-

What do you mean?" queried the wit
ness in reply.

torney Il borrow the phrase from the
learned DR.. Evans"
There are several instances, went on
DE- Jelliffe, "of explosive outbreaks de.
scribed by medical writer's which arc
similar to the case under discussion
Dr.. Jelliffe went on to cite some oil
these cases and soon he and the district
attorney were in the midst of a war of
words.
Dr. Jelliffe would break in before Mr.
Jerome had finished question and In
return Mr.. Jerome would not let him fin.
ish an answer.
Il am trying to cite cases which are
Similar to the one under discussion and
while | am answering Il don't want to
be met with your sophistry''
Talking Match.
You won't said Mr.. Jerome" but
want to tell you if this is going to de-
Velop into a talking match | can go as
far as you can"
The witness said in almost every case
of paranoia there are delusions.
Were there in the case of Harry X.
Thaw?"
Il think So"
What delusions?'
"Delusions of persecution"
''Where.''
In the will, in which he leaves sums
of money for the prosecution of any one
who might cause his death. Then there
is the fact that he carried a revolver. .
But said Mr.. Jerome" suppose II
was true that some one was attempting
to kill, it would not be delusion then,
would it?'
Does this question prove" replied the
witness holly, that some one was look
ing for Harry X. Thaw with hypo-
thetical, ] mean a pistol"
Justice Fitzgerald Joined in the general
laughter.
Mr.. Delmas objected repeatedly to Dis
trict Attorney Jerome's course in the
cross-examination, but Justice Fitzgerald
overruled the attorney.
DR.. Jelliffe went into a long discus
sion in answer to question put by Mr..
Jerome as to the coherency of ThaW's
conversation on the Madison Square Roof
Garden the night of the tragedy.
"Buxom Brunette"
Mr.. Jerome and DR.. Jelliffee spent
many minutes discussing whether or not
it was coherent for one person to want
to introduce "a buxom brunette" to an
other, referring to Thaw's conversatic

lar-whch Mr.. Delmas declared he desired
to read in evidence, but Clerk Heney
finally found it, While the search was
going on Thaw leaned over the reporter $
table and whispered:
THAT letter is important. 1t has
something in it about friend of Je-
rome's."
Mr.. Delmas finally offered the letter
in evidence but Mr.. Jerome Immediately
objected.
He said the letter should have been
offered as part of the case for the de-
Tense in direct evidence. He said he had
no objection to the contents of the let
ter whatever.
Letters In Evidence.
"ln order, however" said Mr.. Jerome,
that | may not appear to be excluding
anything which might help the judge to
arrive at n just conclusion, ] am willing
that all the letters shall 30 in evidence
without the necessity for their being
read, the stipulation being that either
side shall have the right to refer to such
parts of the letter as they desire in
summing up. If my offer to have all the
letters go in evidence is declined, | renew
my objection to any one letter being in
troduced upon the ground that it is re-
opening of the entire case"
Mr.. Delmas repeated the offer of the
letter las a matter of right and jus
tice"
The letter, he declared, would help to
show the condition of Thaw's mind prior
to June % last. Mr.. Delmas said the
case was nearing its close. He had hoped
to close the taking of testimony, but
District Attorney Jerome's long cross
examina ton of one of the aliensts had
upset his plans.
However" he went on, I'VE hope to
close early tomorrow. II Is too late In
the case to have all the letters go In
evidence, and the subject to study for
argument The task of reading over 1900
pages of testimony already imposed on
counsel before summing up Is heavy
one. and I am unwilling to undertake
more"
Adjournment for the day was taken
with the matter of the Introduction OF
the letter pending.
Daniel O'Reilly of counsel for the de-
Tense stated after adjournment that
Evelyn Thaw might be the final witness
tomorrow.
