TBAW DID NOT KNOW
 HIS ACT WAS WRONG
(continued from Fifth Page.)

 ing been legally executed by Thaw.
 When young Mrs. Thaw was called to the stand she was dressed precisely as when she occupied the witness chair last week. As she was taking her seat MT. Delmas turned to the district at torney and renewed his demand of Wednesday last that the note which was passed by Mrs. Thaw to her hus- band at the Cafe Martin the night of the tragedy should be produced. MT. Jerome upon the occasion of the first demand had remained silent. To-day he was on his feet at once, saying he would send for the slip of paper. It was brought firm his office, was iden- tified by Mrs. Thaw, and then read by MT. Delmas as follows:
 The b-- was here a minute ago, but went out again.
 The contents of the note caused a surprise only as to the exact wording. It had generally been supposed that the note read:
 "The b- is here. Mrs. Thaw tes- tif1ed to-day that the b- meant the blackguard, as Thaw always referred to Stanford White, whom she had seen on the balcony of the cafe.
 The only other essential point Mrs. Thaw was allowed to bring out in her testimony was the statement that the defendant never carreid a pistol ex- cept when in New York city. She was asked many other questions enlbodying various stories she had discussed with Thaw, including the alleged fate of a girl known to them as "the Pie girl' at the hands of Stanford White, but Mir. Jerome blocked every question with @ sustained objection.
 After compelling the defense to go intoi the taking of expert testimony as to Thaw's insanity by his objection to Mrs. Thaw's testimony, MT. Jerome next proceeded to block the testimony of Dr. Wagner, as to the results of his six visits to the defendant in the Tombs, and his tests as to the latter's mental condition. Dr. Wagner was not allowed to go, into the converse tions he had had with the defendant nor the conclusions he had reached from these conversations He was aconfined to Mir. Jerome's continuous fusilade of objec- tions, to stating what he actually ob- served, and he declared his obserya- tions were so closely interlaced with his questioning of the defendant that he did not know if he could separate them. A long argumencever the point resulted in Mir. Delmas withdrawing any further questions as to the tests, eontenting himself with asking Dr. Wagner to give his opinion of the hy- pothetical question covering the evil dence in the case. The question was almost record-breaking in length-a comprehensive resume of the entire case, including MT, Thaws personal narrative.
 In his hypothetical question Mir Del mas accused Stanford White of having 'drugged' the Nesbit girl, and of hav- ing attempted to renew "commuhica- tion or relations" with her subsequent to her marriage. Mir. Jerome objected to these features of the question, and it was amended to embrace the evil dence of record as to the disputed points It was on the amended ques- tion that Dr. Wagner gave 1t as his opinion that Harry Thaw did not know, because of defective reason, that his act in killing Stanford White was wrong. Here the experts direct exam ination was ended, and he stepped aside for oross-examiantion later. When he is taken in hand by MT. Je- rome he will have to give detailed req sons for his opinion, pr. Evans of the New Jersey State Hospital for the In- sane will be the first witness for the defense tomorrow.
