The trial to-day entered It's ilItn
week The opening of court found
Attorney Demas again in his accus-
toned place at the head of Thaw's
counsel table. During the day there
was no surface indication of the storm
which it is said ragged among coun-
sci for tho defense during the latter
part OF last week. after the trial had
been adjourned, because of the death
of Juror Bottoms wife. Mr.. Bolton was
early at the Criminal Court building
to-day, and said he felt perfectly able
to go on with the trial.
1t was decided that the jurors
should not again be confined " until
they finally retire TO make up their
verdict.
Thaw Charged Conspiracy.
DR. Evans. who has been by far
the most important witness for tho
defense among the medical experts.
detailed at great length his conversa-
ations with Thaw In the Tombs. He
lawyers and physicians were in a con-
spiracy with the district attorney to
railroad him off to an asylum and
prevent his case from coming to trial.
He declared that they wanted to close
this matter up" Thaw told the ply
stefan that in his attempts to bring
Stanford White to Justice he had COM
planned to District Attorney Jerome.
and that, the latter had tolls him to
let the matter drop: that there was
nothing to 1t. He also complained to
Anthony Comstock and to q detective
agency.
DIR, Evans was corroborated as TO
most of Thaw's statements by DR..
Charles G. Wagner. of Binghamton.
who figured as witness early last
week.
Late in the afternoon District Attorney
Jerome cross-eNamined Dr. Evans briefly
on the one point Of his opinion that Thaw
was of unsound mind at the time of
executing his will. The prosecutor and
witness flashed fire at the first contact,
and there was every indication that when
Mr.. Jerome undertook DR.. Evans's cross
examination in general the proceedings
would be as lively and interesting as any
ever heard in a local courtroom. DIR.
Evans met the preliminary attacks boldly.
and seemed as ready with his wits as
the district attorney.
Lawyers in Sharp Clash.
Mr.. Delnias WAS on his feet during
every bit OF Mr., Jerome's cross-uucstion-
ing of the witness. He interposed many
objections and generally was sustained.
Heslookcd sharply to DR.. l1vans's interest,
but the latter appeared to be we'll aware
OF his privileges.
Mr.. Jerome, in protesting against adj
hitting theecodicl as evidence. referred TO
these scandalous statements"
Mr.. Demas objected ana had his objec-
ton noted as being due to the district
attorneys misconduct. a wordy conflict
ensued, which ended by Mr. Jerome de-
claring that in future he would concede
, nothing II don't concede anything I" said
j. Mr.. Jerome. 1T Is an outrage, | say,
Il 10 bring man here after seven months
I preparation OF this case and frtter away
q the time OF the court in reading docu-
ments."
1T is your privileges non to concede
anything, not even common courtesy
WAS Mr.. Dclmas's reply.
Il am exercising my privilege" snapped
&; Mr.. Jerome
Not of Sound Mind.
DR. Evans then proceeded to read ;ne
volumnous si;tll. Having finished reading,
the witness .ras asked:
Can you state whether Mr.. Thaw nj
the time Of executing the will and tic
codicil was of sound or unsound mind,
taking all you know Of the case into con
sideration?"
1T Is my opinion that he was not Of
sound mind"
Or. Evans said he found evidence in
dicatcd in the viii OF the same forms
OF insanity Indicated ms he found In the
defendant at the time of his visits to
him in the Tombs.
Mr. Jerome began cross examination
of the witness as to the will. lie had
Or. Evans repeat that he found the
same form of insanity in the win as in
the defendant.
What form of insanity is it known
as?" snapped Mr.. Jerome
THAT would depend uron the classi-
fer" said DR. Evans II would call ii
developmental insanity
Was II paranoia2"
NO"
