TESTIMONY IN THE
HARRY THAW TRIAL
THE DEFENSE is INsANITY-DR.
WILEY, SPECIALIST ON INsAN-
ITY, QUESTIONED.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Feb. 5.-The only other
member of the Thaw family in court
this morning besides the prisoner was
Josiah Thaw. brother of Harry.
DR.. Wiley of Pittsburg, one of the
physicians of the Thaw family. was
the first witness for the defense. DR..
Wiley testified that he is a specialist
on insanity in the asylum for the in
sane Of Pennsylvania.
What happened in 1905 in connec-
ton with Thaw?" Attorney Gleason
asked.
That year was a passenger on
Fifth Avenue surface car, when
Thaw entered; it was in the evening
Without apparent reason Thaw yank-
ed window blind down. The conduc-
tor pulled it up. The action caused
furore in the car. Thaw's manner was
vague, semi-defiant and impertinent."
Attorney Gleason asked DIR. Wiley il.
in his opinion, man who committed
such acts was sane or insane. Jerome
objected to the question, but the doc
tor was allowed to answer. He said
his opinion was that a man who acted
like Thaw did was insane. Gleason
asked DIR. Wiley If he thought Thaw
knew his act was wrongful. and knew
its nature He did not" was the
doctors answer.
] The prosecution drew first blood
when Fitzgerald. at the request OF Je-
rome, ordered stricken from the rec
ords Wiley's answer to a hypothetical
question embodying Thaw's act just
previous to the shooting of White. and
the manner Of his remarks afterwards.
Attorney Gleason went back to the
hypothetical question, seeking an an

dence of DR.. Wiley. The doctor re-
Deated that he thought Thaw's act

saying: He ruined my wife"
DIR. Wiley answered, Nothing"
Taken back to the street car Incl
dent, DIR. Wiley said he reached the
conclusion that Thaw had been insane
after reading of the shooting. Recall.
ing the street car incident. Jerome
said:
Your report was partly reached by
reading the newspapers"
Yes"
The prosecutor referred to the ques-
ton of pathological conditions. and
perverted function.
Jerome: Did you apply the ROM
bert test?"
The surprised witness didn't know
what that test was. DR. Wiley said
he examined about eight hundred in
sanity cases. Jerome bombarded the
witness with questions, bewildering
him. DIR. Wiley was visibly embar-
raised when he failed to define Je-
rome's medical terms.

court.

Di0orce Public Schools From Politics;
arouse Interest Among TIE Patrons

when 1t was aroused. Fairgrounds
where the children could get that
broader education which play, the
mimicry OF life, gives to the young,
she thought were essential. Medical
inspection was revealed by her re-
marks to be a vital necessity, from
the mingling Of children when some
are not well and it is now recogniz-
ed that disease finds no better place
for becoming epidemic than in the
school room. The care of the eyes
which with the hearing often ac-
counted for backward pupils, is one
of the largest considerations urgent
to medical inspection. Only scientific
knowledge can seat the pupils prop
erly, provide for ventilation, light,
and sanitation. After treating of the
actual conditions, Mrs. Mengel turn
ed her attention to remedying them.
Organization of mothers clubs to
get in touch with the teachers and
the school room, she said, was the
best way. But interest in the schools
themselves must first be aroused and
this could be done hardly in any
other way than by public school
