Here Mr. Hartridge arose and, AFTER
thanking Justice Fitzgerald for the OPP
portunity of making a personal state
ment, he said:
1.-The district attorneys remarks were
given the widest publicity and did want
to have an opportunity to reply. What
he said to me was in the course of prl-
waite conversation and no one else was
present 1t was only a suggestion that
If anything developed In the Line of what
he has pointed out he would take the
matter up.

that if he thought our client was insane
he should come out and say so. He an
swered that there was q big difference
between an official opinion and an unoffi-
cial opinion.
ale said that if he was convinced OIL
cially that Harry Thaw was insane he
would come out and say So He also said
that we ought not to suppress any testi-
mony which would tend to shed light on
the defendants present mental condition.
I told him we were not hiding or sup
pressing anything. He wanted to know
what we intended to do with regard to
the testimony of DR.. Bingaman and DR..
Deemar, the Thaw family physicians,
and asked if we would permit him to eX-
anime them in his Office. 1 said we had
not the slightest objection as long as
could be present at the examination. This
examination took place and it was on"

was the express understanding, announc-
ed in open court. that they would return
whenever the district attorney desired
them.
THAT is all that was said with regard
to the suppression of testimony. Now
your honor will see that instead of sup
pressing the testimony of these witness

on the stand and at last went to the ex

greatest difficulty after a very lively
scramble, while the other was vet to
