NEW YORK, Feb. 2s. - Harry
Thaw's trial to-day is in its vital stage.
On evidence of the afienists now be.
ing examined depends whether Thaw
goes free or wifi be sent to an asylum.
The spectacular feature OF the trial

keepers this morning that ne felt more
confident Of acquittal than ever be.
fore, He came into the court room
smiling. Four men carried Jerome's
books on insanity into court, making
formidable library when placed on
his table. DR.. Evans was the first wit.
ness. He came to the stand with a
bright, smiling face, showing no indl-
cations OF fatigue or lost rest from
reading the exhibits. Evans had with
him several note books, including the
"phychology of the mind" asked for
yesterday by Jerome. Jerome and
Evans locked horns almost as soon as
the cross examination was resumed.
It was evident from the start that the
fight between them to-day would be
bitter. Jerome tried to force the wit
ness to give "yes" or mo" answers
to questions. The witness declined
to do this. Again and again the same
questions were asked, but Evans par
ried them with evasive replies.
! In spite of all efforts to have Evans
declare himself on the Thaw letters
early in the examination, he refused
to do 1t, He took long time to read
them. They were letters written by
Thaw to Lawyer Longfellow from
Paris. in nineteen-three. Jerome ques
toned him pointedly, put could moi
drive the doctor to direct answer, and
gave mp in the useless attempt. He
questioned the witness about reading
Thaw's will and the codicil. Evans
reply was long and explanatory, which
Jerome characterized as a speech ant
very aggravating to prosecutor.

J! To-day's proceedings of the Thas
trial thus far developed were cross
between an insanity inquest and ,
farce. The enmity between Evan
and jerome Is personal and each striy

which have just been completed in
The Bonanza bindery. The public in

that is being turned out. To those
who have not had any work done by

We maintain, as we have right
along, that the work, the execution

where in the state, and nothing bet
