taken until D. m. Dr. Wiley resumed the stand Wnen | the afternoon session was convehea. l "who have you talked to during me recess" was the first question MT. !. Jerome hurled at the witness. Dr. Wiley seemed taken aoack. with Mir. Gleason" he said' ana several other gentlemen, don't know who they were" Did you talk about this case! "Yes. One of the gentlemen told me the Romberg test was a test Tor | locomotor ataxia?" They told you that?" Yes" ] And you don't know who 1t was who told you that?" He was a physician" 'fWhat was his name? T don't know" MT Jerome further continued the tactics of the morning session, puttsns the witness through a rigid test as 70 his medical knowledge. Thaw Appears Refreshed. Harry Thaw came back from the Tombs for the afternoon session with a spring to his step. He had ap- peared depressed at the end or the morning session and welcomed the re- cess. His wife. who came to the judges chamber for the forenoon ses- sion visited the prisoner during the luncheon hour. She was accompanied by May Mackenzie.
 There was just the suggestion of a smile on Harry Thaw's face at some of the questions propounded to Dr. Wiley by MT. Jerome. The jury held the experts always in focus.
 Mr. Jerome proceeded;
 Does the cardiac nerve connect df- rpctJv with fha rArehellunl ?'
 The witness hesitated.
 Well" resumed his inquisitor, may be you can tell us if the pneumo- gastric nerve joins the spinal column in the lumber circle or in the dorsal regionT'
 Tn the dorsaI regi&," the witness replied after a few moments after thought. &~
 Where is the dorsal regionY'.
 T have not read much on that"
 "Oh, well. never mind that. Tell me If it is not a fact that the pneumo- gastric and cardiac are one and the same thingY'
 They may be-"
 Don't you, as specialist in nerve diseases and an expert, know which is which?'
 The witness remained silent.
 District Attorney Jerome rained question after question on him and no answer was vouchsafed.
 Did you ever hear of carsigitisr
 What books on nervous diseases have you ever read?"
 Didn't RecoIleet Authorities.
 The witness mentioned two authori- ties
 Do you recollect single thing thas either one of the authors said?'
 Not in their language"
 When did sou last read themT'
 Just before coming here"
 Why did you do that?'
 T merely glanced at them."
 "Dr. Wiley, if you recall anything you ever read in any book please state it to the jury"
 T have read translation of Oppen- heimers works" the witness began.
 How many volumes?"
 One"
 You mean to say you read oppen- heimer's in one volume?'
 Yes.
 Getting back to the pneumo- gastric they do not connect with the spinal column at all but enter the brain in the skull cavity?'
 The witness hesitated. Mr. Jerome relented.
 q will withdraw the question, your honor" he said. turning to Justice Fitz- gerald.
 Are you homeopathist?" questioned the District Attorney.
 No"
 well, what are you?'
 T am nervous practitioner"
 Thaw's Counsel Flinches.
 During the long. narrowing cross ex- animation of the witness Thaw's coun- sel were a study. Mir. Gleason looked appealingly at pr. Wiley as he was piled with MT. Jerome's questions. MT. then again appeared fatigued.
 MT. Hartridge was palpably worried.
 MT. Peabody was busy in converse tion with tine prisoner a good part of the time
 Attorney McPike could not suppress smile. Assistant District Attorney Garvan plainly indicated his enjoyment of Dr. Wiley's ordeal.
 Thaw finally began to bite his finger nails.
 Dr. Wiley, the witness. did not ap- pear disconcerted in the least. however He rubbed his eyes wearily with 9s hands as Mir, Jerome hurled broadsides of questions at him and made no re- ply.
 Long, hypothetical medical phrases had no terrors for the District Attor- ney. They rolled from his tongue with heard.
 Finally he asked the witness.
 'Is it not q fact that all the func-
