On brain Storm and Mental
Explosions
DIR. WAGNER ON THE STAND
Jerome Failed to Get a Definite State
ment From Witness as to Mental
Condition Of Thaw at Time Of
the Murder Of White.


New York, March 5.~-Dr. Charles
Wagner, the Binghamton alienist, who
was on the stand when the Thaw trial
adjourned yesterday, was recalled as the
first witness this morning. Jerome be-
gan BY questioning him about cases Of
brain storm and mental explosions"
In his experience, the witness said, he
could not point out case where @flil-
minating explosion" came within ten
minutes.
"When Thaw walked deliberately up
Ito White asked Jerome. "after passing
him once, wouldn't that indicate his
mental condition at the time 2.
THAT fact alone would not"
did you ever have case where d
person in brain storm walked calmly
toward his victimY"
DIR. Wagner could cite no particular
instance, but he knew cases where de-
ranged persons displayed insanity sud
denly without outward appearances Of
showing it.
jerome lost his temper several times
during the examination OF Dr. Wagner
The witness evidently emnlated his pre-
decessor, Dir. Evans, and Delmas helped
him with numerous objections, getting
rather the best Of it with the district
attorney
Dr. Eyans yesterday admitted that
Thaw had all insane knowledge of what
be was doing on Madison Square raof
garden the night he shot and killed Stan
ford White. The New York statutes
prescribe that to be exempt from punish
ment for crime, an insane person nnist
be SO dementea as not to know the ma
tnre or quality Of his act Or 10 Know
that the act is wrong.
In explaining Thaw's action subsc-
quent to the shooting quiet DE-
rneanor. his directions az TO what should
be done with his wife, and who should
be sent for DR.. Evans declared that as
soon az the defendant shot stanford
White the brain storm subsided and his
senses began to reorganize themselves
so that the man knew quite well what
he WAS about. He also knew he was
attacking stanford White when he shot.
Dr. Evans admitted this, but the knowl-
edge, he said, was that of an insane
man, and the act was the result of in
sane reasoning.
4 Df. Wagner also declared that Thaw
/ had irrational knowledge Of what was
ltranspiring OH the roof garden. He be-
! iieved the mans insanity dated from the
time Evelyn Nesbit told him her story
in Paris in 1903. DF. Wagner created
quite a stir in court by using tho present
tense IN responding to question by
4 District Attorney Jerome. as 10 what
form of insanity Thaw has or had. DR..
| Wagner declared Thaw SIS suffering
from symptoms which lead toward a
neiancholic state and a state OF demen-
tia praecox.

AN INQUIRY.
OF the Chairman Of Street Committee

Mr. Editor: On my way up town
yesterday dropped into the city clerks
Office and secured copy Of that belated
pamphlet whose cover reminds one of
est. Patricks day in the morning. but
which i tliguifed with the title, Twelfth
Annual Report of the City of Barre, VT"
On page 81 ol this pamphlet in a re-
port. though unsigned. yet attributed TO
the street commissioners, find the state
ment that il took thirty-six thousand
one hundred and fort n four dollars Ss6.
144) worth Of cfirbing to pay the land
damage on Granite street. We would
like TO inquire how much this clrbing
cost per foot, and also ii 1t was pur-
chased of AN alderman 4 also find that
the city treasurer reports that he paid
out $1,000 for land damage. Was this
also expended on Granite street the
exhaustive report Of the street commis-
sioners Is silent in regard to this ex-
penditme Perhaps ii is too small to
merit their attention
On this same page I find that the
street commissioners hare spent this
wear for permanent streets and sewers
S7,O4s.34, one-half Of which, according
10 our city charter and ordinances should
be assessed upon the abutting land and
buildings. also find that four reso-
lutions have beeii passed this year in
structiug the street commissioners to
levy such assessments / have perused
this pamphlet from one cover to the
other and fail to find anything which
would indicate that one cent Of assess
ments has been levied this year on any
property. Can il be that the chairman
Of the board OF street commissioners has
too many friends along these streets
which have been improved, or is he too
busy collecting his team hire from the
city to attend TO the other duties Of his
ofiices
