TESTIMONY AS TO INSANITY
Doctor Says One of Thaw's Maternal
Uncles Was Insane.

DR.. John f. Deemar. who was on
the stand Tuesday. but not allowed
to testify, was recalled and testified
that Henry w. Copley, the defendants
uncle on the maternal side, had been
insane. Jerome had declared early in
the day that he would not object to
the testimony as to insanity in the
family provided the proper foundations
were laid for it, When, however, DR..
Deemar started to testify as to a cousin
of the defendant Jerome said he felt
he must object again.
He declared 1T should first be shown
that Harry Thaw was insane by COM
petent evidence, and it must further
be proved that the character of his in
sanity Is hereditary. Justice F1tzger-
aid sustained the district attorney and
Delmas said he would conduct the case
accordingly.

MCALEB TELLS HIS STORY
What Thaw and His Wife Said-Jer-
ONE Had One with Witness.

McCaleb detailed, so far as he could,
the incidents Of the night Of the trag-
edy. He was leaving the roof garden
with Mrs. Thaw, and thought Harry
was following, when the three pistol
shots were heard. Mrs. Thaw ex-
claimed: MY God, he's shot" and
thcn. "Oh. Harry, what have you done,
and why did you do it?''
Thaw replied: Il have saved your
life" and bent and kissed her. On
cross-examination Jerome went briefly
into the past history of the witness.
McCaleb said he knew Thaw some
years ago in Paris and subsequently
in California.
"Did you ever try to borrow any
money from him?'' demanded the dis
trict attorney.
Never" the witness replied.
It came out during the redirect ex-
animation that McCaleb had met Jer-
ONE some months ago at the Union
club and discussed the case with him.
The witness answered a question to
which the district attorney had taken
exception, and in which he had been
upheld by the court, and Jerome flew
mot q temper and roasted the wit
ness, declaring it indecent" DelmaS
pleaded for courtesy for the witness,
and Jerome proceeded-"You say you
met me at the Union club; now how
many drinks had you had that night?"
81 don't know had one with you
came the reply, and it was some time
before the bailiffs could restore order
in the court room. Justice Fitzgerald
threatened to remove any person who
again created a disturbance.
