ing testimony In sur-rebuttal he IN
troduced first Of all the record in tn
trial and conviction Of Hummel o.
the charge Of conspiracy. He STARTED
to read the entire record, but hat
not reached the remarks Mr.. Jerome
made at the sentencing Of Hummel
and which Mr. Delmas wanted to
present to the Jury, when Mr.. Jerome
said he would admit the entire record
without objection. Mr.. Delmas then
said he would save the district attor-
news references to Hummel for the
defense'B summing up.
Next Mr.. DelmaS put upon the
stand three policemen who saw Thaw
the night Of the tragedy or early in
the morning after and they all 40
clared that he either looked or acted
irrationally.
After this testimony had been pre-
sented, Mr.. Delmas passed to the
final stages Of the trial by introduce
ing the first Of seven alienists en-
ployed by the defense, three Of the
experts being new to the case.
DR.. Graeme M. Hammond and Dr.
Smith Ely Jelliffe, who have been in
the case from the first and DR.. W. A.
White, superintendent Of the govern
ment hospital for the insane at Wash
ington, were Mondays witnesses and
all were Intercepted on the hypothe-
teal question framed by the district
attorney. All three Of the experts
declared Thaw was 30 mentally I'M
balanced at the time he killed Stan
ford White that he did not know the
nature or quality Of his act and did
not know that the act was wrong.
None Of the three would classify the
form Of insanity from which they
said the defendant was suffering.
Tuesday the experts will be DR..
Evans and Wagner, who have here
tofore testified for the defense, and
who will now be asked to give an
opinion on Mr. Jerome's long ques-
tion, and DR.. Charles W. Pilgrim Of
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, president of the
New York State Lunacy commission,
md DR. M'ras Gregory, superinten-
dent Of the Psvchopathic pavilion at

perts were disposed Of Monday In a

The case for the people was final
ly closed Monday by the introduction
of the much discussed Hummol affi-
davit, which, with the consent Of the
defense, was read in full to the jury.
The affidavit proved surprise only
in the alleged severity Of the assaults
Harry X. Thaw is said to have made
upon Evelyn Nesbit during their trip
through Europe in 1903, when, accord

Hummel. Miss Nesblt would not sign
statements which Thaw had prepared
accusing Stanford White of having
drugged and ruined her.
In this affidavit Miss Nesbit charg-

with cowhide whip while they
were stopping at an old castle in the
Australian Tyrol and flashing her bare
skin until she became faint from the
pain and swooned. He repeated the
attack the next day, according to the
affidavit, and afterward in Paris he

SENTENCED TO JAIL.
Rieharde and comstock Of Omaha
Get a Fine Of $500 Each
And One Year.

Omaha, March 19.-The most I'M
portant land case in Nebraska cul-
minated, Monday IN the sentence Of
the most prominent and influential
cattlemen Of the state By Judge W.
H. Munger Of the United States
court. Bartlett Richards and. William
G. Comstock were sentenced to pay
fine each Of $500 and serve .
year in the Douglas county jail;
Charles O. Jameson and Aequilla
Triplett were sentenced to pay fine
If $500 and serve eight months In

These men were indicted by the
federal grand Jury in May, 1906, for
onspiracy to defraud the United
States out Of use. possession and title
70 public land, consisting Of upwards
Of 100000 acres in northwestern
Nebraska. The indictment was the
longest on record, comprising 800
typswritten pages. The trial began
in November, 1906, ended December
20 with q verdict Of guilty. Motion
for a new trial was made and II was
heard March is, when Judge Munger
overruled It and set Monday for pro

JEROME's LONG QUESTION
Abraham Hummel Makes q Statement
Trial WIsI Probably Not Close
Before April Heroine
May Testify.

New York, March 15.-Answerine
the same hypothetical question In re
Spouse to which the alienists OF the
defense declared Harry X. Thaw was
suffering from an unsound mind and
did not know the nature or quality Of
his act when he shot and killed Stan
ford White, DR.. Austin Flint the first
expert called by District Attorney
jerome in rebuttal, declared 1t to be
his opinion that Thaw positively did
know the nature and quality Of his
act and knew that the act was wrong.
When court adjourned Mr. Delmas had
not begun his crossexamination OF
DR.. Flint, who is the first of six
aiienists to be called by Mr.. Jerome.
After receiving Dr. Flint's answer
70 the Delmas hypothetical question
Mr.. Jerome had read to the witness
the prosecutions hypothetical question
which contained $4,000 words and
which required one hour and IS min.
utes In the reading. DR.. Flint again
said without qualification that Thaw
knew his act was wrong and is there
fore liable for the murder in the first
degree under the statutes Of the state
Of New York.
Mr.. Delmas indicated that he would
crossexamine each expert searching
~. Mr.. Jerome's sanguine prophecy
that the taking Of testimony would be
concluded by Friday night has been
abandoned and those concerned in the
case again look to April / as the
earliest moment Of closing the trial.
Abraham Hummel was on the stand
again Thursday and before Mr.. Del
mas could object to a question put by
Mr.. Jerome the witness had got into
the record the statement that Evelyn
Nesbit had told him that she had In
formed Harry Thaw in Paris In 1903
that Stanford White positively had
not drugged or betrayed her. Mr..
Delmas at first moved to have the |
question and answer stricken from
the record, but as the district attor-
ney seemed about to consent to this
plea, he insisted that the answer
stand.
Hummel's further testimony war
halted until Mrs Evelyn Nesblt Thaw
again takes the stand to testify as to
or not Hummel was acting
rs her attorney when she made the
statements to him which were after
wards embodied in an affidavit.
1t was reported Thursday night that
District Attorney Jerome may be call
ID to the witness stand in sur-rebuttal
by the defense. The purpose, It was
.aid, was to question Mr.. jerome as
10 certain actions against Abraham
who was witness ThurS
lay. This move was taken as rea
ION for the defense allowing much OF
he Hummel testimony to stand.
