He told me that as he was walking out
OF the roof garden he saw White and APP
preached and shot him." said DIR. Wagner.
DR.. Wagner then told Of the visits to the
Tombs on September 10, when Thaw re-
fused to allow an examination, using al
most the exact language DIR. Evans used
in describing the same visit and stating
the same conclusions.
Mr.. Jerome asked DR.. Wagner il he could
tell what form Of insanity the defendant
Is suffering from today.
I've not examined him since last Oc-
tober," replied DR.. Wagner, land you can
not, Mr.. District Attorney, make any of
my answers apply to the present time.
PENDANTS present state Of mind is not be-
for the court"
Thank you." said Mr.. Jerome, bowling.

Improved in Three Days.
DR.. Wagner said that when he visited
Thaw in the Tombs September 10 last he
was of the opinion that the defendant was
still insane. He visited him three days
later and found him somewhat improved,
but still suffering from mental disorders.
Mr.. Jerome asked DR.. Wagner for the
details of mental examination, consist
ing of questions and answers, he had sub
jected Thaw to in the Tombs the oc-
casion of his visit September %. Mr.. Del
mas objected on the ground that when DR..
Wagner was on the stand for direct exam
ination he had not been allowed to testify
as to these questions and answers. Mr.. Je-
rome's objections having been sustained.
Mr.. Jerome replied that there was no OBJ
lection to the introduction of this evi-
dence after the proper foundation was laid.
as was the case when DR.. Evans was on
the stand. After long argument Justice
Fitzgerald sustained the objection.
DIR. Wagner said that Thaw's eyes had
a staring look in them when he saw him
in the Tombs.
"Have you looked at his face while in
court?'' asked Mr.. Jerome.
Mr. Delmas objected on the ground that
the question was immaterial, irrelevant and
not cross-examhlaton. Justice Fitzgerald
overruled the objection and DR.. Wagner
said:
Have you noticed his eyes?'
Eyes, in casual way.
'Is it not a fact that his eyes are so
formed as to give them a staring look?'
Yes, when he opens them wide
What is the difference in the expression
of his eyes today compared with Sep
TENDER % last?
Il can't say 1 have examined them suffi-
GENTLY in court to say.
what did you learn when you visited
Thaw October L." asked Mr.. Jerome.
"As 1 did not visit him on that date, I
did not learn anything" retorted DR.. Wag-

We'll. October 3, them
"Mr. Thaw was still restless and -sus-
,picious in manner. but these symptoms were
not as marked as before
Did what you saw at that time influence
your opinion as to his sanity?"
II had already made up my mind on that
point
Decided on First Visit.
when did you finally make up your
mind that Thaw was insane?'
AT the time of the first visit to the
Tombs.'
Did the family history which Thaw gave
you in the Tombs influence your judgment
in deciding that he was insane?" asked
District Attorney Jerome.
Dr. Wagner declared that the information
importance.
The witness was asked regarding Thaw' S
will and codicil, and said he would not
chara cterize the insanity they indicated as
paranoia He admitted, however, that the
decisions might be somewhat paranolc In
type.
ibid not the will and codicil show par
ent delusion?" asked Mr.. Jerome.
DR.. Wagner said he did not exactly un-
derstand what a parent delusion was. He
thought the will and cedictl showed the
writer to be of unsound mind.
DIR. Wagner was still on the stand at 5:2O
pm, when adjournment until this morning
was announced.
