TOLD DETECTIVES.

IOGD DBIECItNES.
Bowman had also informed Detec-
tive Sergeant Herlihy, of what he had
seen and overheard Martin Green,
newspaper reporter, was an eye wit
ness of the shooting and it was he
whom the court finally permitted to
make the statement as to Thaws ap-
pearance and conduct at the time of
the tragedy. Green had looked di-
rectly at Thaw while he was firing
the fatal shots, and Immediately
thereafter. Thaw's face, he testified,
was very pale, his eyes bulging with
much of the whites showing and his
lips we're black and hanging.
THOUGHT ACT IRRATIONAL.
Green's statement that 1naw was
Irrational was concurred in by Lionel
Strauss, portrait painter, who also
had his eyes on Thaw when the shoot
ing was done. The fatal dinner party
at the Cafe Martin. was told of by
Thomas McCaleb, of San Francisco,
| who with Truxton Beale dined there
with Mr.. and Mrs Thaw before the
party went to Madison Square Roof
Garden on the evening or June 25.
McCaleb told the jury that note had
passed from Mrs. Thaw to her hus-
band during the dinner He also de-
scribed the departure from the roof
garden with Mrs. Thaw, how as they
approached the elevator to descend
from the roof, the pistol shots rang
out, and Mrs. Thaw cried, my God;
he has shot him" Harry Thaw soon
Joined them and, in response to his
wife's exclamation, "Oh, Harry, why
did you do it?" had kissed her and
answered, II have saved your life" ;"
Mr.. Delmas, during McCaleb's testi-
mony, made a demand upon the dis
trict attorney for the note Mrs. Thaw
gave Harry, and when the district at
torney sat mute and unconcerned, in
formed the court that If the district
attorney refused to produce the bit
of evidence, 1t would have to be prov
ed by the defense in some other way.
WHAT GREEN SAID.
| The testimony of Martin Green, the
newspaper reporter, was given both
before and after recess. He followed
Bowman on the stand. He explained
that he had been at the roof garden
the night of the shooting. The ex-
animation in part was as follows:
Q.-How far were you from where
the shooting took place?
| A.-About 20 feet.
| Q-When did you first see Thaw?
! -A.-After the shots were fired.
| Q.-Where was he standing?
.A.-Eight or ten feet from the ta-
BILE which had been occupied by Stan
ford White.
Q.-Did you go toward himf
| Ayes.
Q.-Did you get very close?
| A.-No; Thaw moved away, and then
l turned toward Whites body.
Q.-Did you see Thaw subsequently? =?
| Ayes.
| Q.-Where?
! A.-Behind the rear row of seats.
Odd you see him again?
| Ayes; in the corridor.
| Q.-What time elapsed between the
first and the last time you saw Thaw ?
A very few minutes.
Q.-How close were you to him when
you last saw him?
| Al was inside the theatre and he
was out in the corridor surrounded by
a crowd. There was about thirty feet
| between us.
Q.-Did you notice his appearance
at the time of the shooting?
| Ayes.
o.-Will you please describe his
looks?
Mr.. Jerome promptly objected to this
question on the ground that Mr.. Del
mas would have to fix more definite
ly the time and place.
''Well, how did he look the first
time you saw him?" asked Mr.. Del
mas.
"He was very pale" said Green.
His eyes were white and looked as
if they would pop out of his head; his
jaw was hanging loose. His lips were
black"
| Q.-How did he look after that?
Al was too far away to tell.
Q.-Now, in your opinion, was Har-
|ry Thaw on that night rational or ir-
rational?
Mr.. Jerome instantly objected on the
ground that the witness had not quail
ified as an expert. and was not COM
petent to render any thing final on
that point. Mn Delmas said that he
believed the question, as he had asked
it, was in the form set down by the
court of appeals for such situations.
