certain observations that I made of the
defendant in the library of the district
attorneys office on the 9th day of June,
1906 | am of the opinion that the defen-
dant is now and for sometime past has
been suffering from form OF mental
disease commonly known among men
skilled in mental diseases as paranoia.
Yet il Is my opinion based on what has
lust been enumerated, that when the de-
fendant killed Stanford White, he was
then suffering from said mental disease,
commonly known as paranoia, but that
his then mental state was such that ne
knew the nature and quality OF the act
that he was doing, and that 1t was wrong,
namely, that he then and there knew that
he was dscharging into the body of stan
ford White a loaded revolver, and that
he then and there knew that such dis
charge was likely to produce death, ana
that he then and there knew such act on
his part was against the current morality
of the people of this state and IN VIOLA
ton of law.

II am of the opinion, on the facts above
enumerated. that the mental disease com
monty known as paranoia, from Whlch
The defendant was suffering on the night
of June 25, 1906 is a form of mental dis
ease from which 1t is reasonably certain
he will not recover, and that the dis
charge of the said Harry X. Thaw would
be dangerous to public peace and safety
and that he should be committed to an In
sttution for the insane. / am further OF
the opinion on the facts above stated that
the said Harry X. Thaw is now and FOR
some time past has been In such a state
of lunacy or insanity as to be incapable
