New York, Feb. 13.--The Thaw trial today WAS limited to an afternoon ses- sion of less than two hours duration, the morning sitting of court having been abandoned because of the Illness of the wife of one- of the jurors. Jo- seph B. Bolton. No. II.
 Mir. Bolton was allowed to visit his home in company with two other ju- TOTS and two court officers. He found his wife suffering from double pneu- monia ana two physicians certified by District Attorney Jerome that her eon- dition was very serious. Bolton re- turned to the jury panel in lime for the afternoon session which began at 2:io p. m. and adjourned at 4:os o'clock. There was a stipulation of counsel by which the juror might again visit his home accompanied by baiiiffs tonight.
 It is hoped that the trial will go on tomorrow, although Juror Bolton this afternoon apeared distracted. appar- ently taking little interest in the pro- ceedings. If Mrs. Boitoh's condition should continue so critical that her husband cannot be expected to give a juror there may be an indefinite postponeinenf, all the other jurors meanwhile remaining locked up or pos sibiy a mistrial. Every one connected with the case expressed the hope to- night that events will permit of the trial being carried forward to rapid conclusion.
 pr. Britton D. Evans. Superinten- dent of the State Hospital for the h. sane at Morris Plains, N J.. was the only witness of the afternoon He concluded his direct examination and District Attorney Jerome reserved th1 right to cross question the expert at a later stage of the trial.
 Dr. John T. Deemar Of KittannInR Pa, was recalled to the stand just before adjournment and asked to state what he knew of the mental condition of John Ross. first cousin of Harry Thaw. Mr. Jerome objected to the question on the grund that the rela- tionship was too remote to permit sths drawing of deductions as to hereditary insanity. Both question and witness were withdrawn temporarily Results of Tests. pr. Evans today detailed the resulti of his various examinations and phys teal tests in his visits to the defend ant following the tragedy. He declar- ed that there was depression in tht back of Thaw's head of a most unusual character.
 T am unable to state it's signifi- cance," declared the witness. for the reason that never saw anything like 1t beforo.'
 pr. Evans also stateS that Thaw's pulse action was the most extraordi. nary he had ever encountered The pulse would chahge beats four timei within one minute. 'he variance being from twelve to twenty-four beats. The pulse indicated, he said. that the sym. pathetic nervous system was seriously at fault Dr. Evans declared. finally that he found no traces of drug habits nor any of the tremors characteristic of excessive indulgence in intoxicants
 Dr. Evans took occasion to say that he felt 1t was extremely unfair to hin as a physician to require him to sepa- rate ais physical examination of thu desendant from the questions and an sweFa as to his mental processes. H. was interrupted by both Mir. Jerome and MT. Delmas and Justice Fitzgeralt said:
 "Will you kindly Conflne yourself tt answering questions and not giving ex pressions of opinion, There is som, limitation even to the province of al expert"
 As the result of a conference be | tween counsel just before the early adjournment was ordered, MT. Jerome announced that Thaw's attorneys hat l turned the will of the defendant ovei to him for examination before i1 | should again be formally offered 1T evidence. MT. Jerome said he migh or might not offer further objection | to the .'voluminous document" he dis | not wish to take up the time by read ing it over in court, so counsel had agreed that it might be examined al the district attorneys office. Counsel also agreed that Mir. Jerome should have the privilege of talking
