WHAT HE WAS DOING ON
NIGHT OF TRAGEDY.

New York, March 5.--Sjistrict Attor-
ney Jerome has concluded his long
cross-examination of DR.. Britton ID.
Evans, the alienist for the defense
in the Thaw trial, who had declared
that Harry X. Thaw was suffering
from a brain storm at the time he
shot and killed Stanford White. DR..
Evans was succeeded on the stand by
DR.. Charles g. Wagner OF Binghamp-
ton, N Y, also an alienist for the de-
fense, and his cross-examination was
begun.
Mr.. Jerome drew important admis-
sions from DR.. Evans to the effect
that Thaw had knowledge of what he
was doing the night of the tragedy
The witness, however, characterized 1t
as insane knowledge. Mr.. Jerome
piled question after question predi
Gated upon Thaw's actions subsequent
to the shooting and asked II they did
not indicate that the defendant knew
what he was about. DR.. Evans ex-
planned that he believed that the brain
storm had cleared up Immediately
after the shooting and that Thaws
scattered senses had begun to read
just themselves even before he left
the roof garden.
DR.. Wagner used the present tense
In replying to question by the dis
trict attorney as to the form of Thaws
insanity, saying he believed the de-
fendant "is suffering" from symptoms
allied to two forms Of insanity-one
tending to melancholia and the other
to dementia. Thaw's attorneys made
no move to correct the witness.

Caracas, Venezuela, March 5.-Vice
President Gomez paid a visit to Pres
ident Castro at Macuto, where the
president is convalescing from his re-
cent serious illness. The visit, which
Is said to have been brought about
through the efforts Of the president s
wife, Is reported to have resulted In
the establishment of the friendship
between Castro and Gomez. The part
taken by Sonora Castro in this matter
has surprised the politicians and won
the admiration of Venezuelans, who
are not accustomed to seeing women

President Castro's vitality, his ply
sicians say, has carried him over an
other crisis In his illness and that he
Is better Is evidenced by the fact thai
his interview with Gomez lasted fully
an hour.
