THAW INSANE
SAYS DOCTOR
Family Physician of Thaw Says He
Was Crazy When He Killed
Stanford White,
tHy Associated press.l

NEW YORK, Feb 27-At the
opening of court this morning
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was recalled by
counsel to answer few more ques-
tions by Jerome.
Jerome questioned Mrs. Thaw.
about the conversation with her
brother, Howard, as to the story
that she was treated cruelty by
Thaw, because she would not tell
lies about White. The questions in
dicated that he intends to put How
ard on the stand to contradict his
sister as to material facts.
Mrs. Thaw denied positively she
ever told Howard that Thaw treated
her cruelty,
After Mrs. Thaw was excused, DR.
Bingam, of Pittsburg, Thaw's family
physician was called. He told of
Thaw's condition before shooting
White and gave his opinion that the
defendant was insane at the time OF
the shooting.
Jerome attempted to cross-exam-
inc Bingam as an expert but Delmas
objected and was sustained.
Jerome then said he would call
Bingam as witness for the state in
rebuttal next week.
DR.. Britton D. Evans and other
witnesses were called for cross-ex-
animation. Evans is one of the
principal witnesses for the defense.
The indications are that Jerome
intends to make his examination a
most thorough one. Throughout the
examination Of the latter witness
Delmas was continually to his feet
with objections which Justice Fltz-
gerald in nearly every instance sus-
tanned The judge further warned
Jerome that he was taking too wide
latitude in the examination.
