New York, April 3.-The co-anis-
sion in lunaey y0ich Is inauiring into
the present state of mind of Harry X.
Thaw allowed Dr. Allan McLane Ham
ilton to testify as to what he knows Of
Thaw's mental condition. This action
was taken over the continued protest
Of the defendants attorneys.
DR., Hamilton declared 1t to be his
belief that Thaw is suffering from q
progressive form of paranoia or do
lusional insanity and declared the
opinion that the defendant is not capa-
BILE of realizing the nature of the
charges against him.
Many attaches of the Tombs testi-
fled that they had never seen Thaw
do anything irrational.
At the afternoon session DR.. Austin
Flint expressed the opinion that Thaw
was incapable of understanding the
charge against him or of advising
counsel and that he was suffering
from paranoia, with original delusions
OF persecution now passing Into delu-
sions of grandeur. Twenty or more
pages of memoranda prepared by
Thaw as suggestions to counsel were
submitted to DR., Flint, they including
newspaper clippings and speech by
President Roosevelt denouncing "the
heinous crime of rape." and this latter
Thaw recommended be used In the
summing up. After examining these
memoranda DR.. Flint said they had
an important bearing upon his opinion
that Thaw is now insane.
DR. William Mabon, another OF the
states experts, said Thaw was incapa-
BILE of understanding the charge
against him or Of nationally advising
his counsel Dr. Mabon admitted he
had never examined the prisca-sr and
would not commit to an asylum any
one whom he had not examined as to
his sanity He coincided with DR..
Flint as TO Thaw's insanity from the
medical standpoint and sanity In the
meaning of the law.
DR. William Hirsch declared his
opinion that Thaw was suffering from
an incurable form of paranoia.

Tut PRESIDENT BRANDS HARRI.
MAN LETTER A DELIBERATE
AND WiLLFUL uNTRUTH.
iilLROAD MAN SPRINGS SENSATION
DECLARES HE RAISED BIG SUM
FOR REPUBLICANS At RE-
QUEST OF ROOSEVELT.

washington, April 3.-Presluent
Roosevelt emphatically denies the
statement contained In letter pub
ished in New York purporting to
have been written by E. H. Hartman
to Sidney Webster OF New York IN
the latter part of December, 1905. In
Mr.. Harriman's letter the statement Is
made that at the request Of President
Roosevelt he, Hartman, assisted In
raising q fund of 100000 to be used
in carrying New York for the Repuo-
llcan party at, the election which was
then approaching. This statement the
president characterizes as "a deliber-
ate and willful untruth-by right 1t
should be characterized by an even
shorter and more ugly word. l never
requested Mr.. Hartman to raise a
dollar for the presidential campaign OF
l00a."
The presidents denial was con-
tanned In a brief statement and In
copies of letters he had written to
Representative Sherman of New York.
Tho letters are dated Oct. and Oct.
IL, 1905, respectively. The president,
after furnishing the letters to the
press, dictated the following state
ment:
After writing these letters to Con-
gressman Sherman the president was
assured that Mr.. Hartman had not
made the statements which Mr.. Sher-
man credited him with making. Inas-
much as the same statements appear
In the major part in the letter OF Mr..
Hartman now published the president
deems 1t proper that the letters he
sent to Congressman Sherman last
October shall now themselves be made
public"
Hartman Dlslikes Roosevelt.
In the first letter reference Is made
to q conversation between Mr.. Harri-
man and Mr.. Sherman. which was re-
peated to the president, In which Mr..
Hartman is said to have given as a
reason for his personal dislike Of the
president partly the latter's deter
mination to have the railroads super
vised and partly the alleged fact that
after promising Mr.. Hartman to ap-
point Senator Depew ambassador to
France he, the president. failed to DO
It. "and," continues the president, i
understood you to say that he alleged
that ! made this promise at time
when he had come down to see me In
Washington when requested him to
raise 100000 for the Republican pres
idential campaign which was then on.
Some correspondence between the
president and Mr.. Hartman is then
quoted, the intention being to show
that Hartman favored Hyde as well
as Depew for ambassador to France
and that the president did not request
Hartman to come TO Washington In
the interest OF his own campaign and
that he did not make any request OF
any kind for financial help. Hartman
is further accused of saying he Ia
vored .Hearstism and the like. be-
cause those people are crooks and we
can buy them" This. the president
