NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-This is
Harry K. Thaw's own story OF
the killing of Stanford White. 1t
was told by him to DR.. Britton D.
Evans, alienist, last August in the
Tombs. DR.. Evans today repeated
the prisoners words to the jury that
Is trying Thaw for his life. District
Attorney Jerome fought hard last
week against the introduction OF this
evidence, which to the defense Is
conclusive evidence that Thaw did
not know his act was wrong.
Physicians had declared in their
opinion that Thaw was insane at the
time he made the statements. How
ever, the rules of evidence permitted
The introduction of the prisoners
words. In further bulwarking their
contention that Thaw was insane
when he killed White, defendants
counsel today succeeded in placing
before the jury the will executed by
Thaw the night Of his marriage, in
April, 1905, and the codicil executed
at the same time. Again Jerome
fought the evidence, but he signifi.
cantly withdrew the objections after
Evans had given his opinion that
sThaw was insane at the time he exc
cuted the will. The fact that the dis
trict attorney seemed disposed to let
in testimony of every character pro-
yided there is a preliminary opinion
from the witness that the man was
of unsound mind at the time to which
the testimony refers was taken today
as further indicating that Jerome
may, at the physiological mement, if
he deems his hand strong enough,
demand the appointment of COM
mission to pass on Thaw's present
state of mind. The will and codicil
were offered in evidence as culmative
testimony of Thaw's mental unsound-
ness prior TO the killing of White.
Drs. Hammond and Jeliffe will
testify tomorrow probably on the i'm
provement in Thaw's mind during
mis- confinement in the Tombs, de.
claring that the stress which cause
the mental explosion was removed
with the death of White 1t is also
said tonight that Mrs. Evelyn Tha '
may go on the stand tomorrow to
complete her story.
