eating that 1t was not the paranoiac from which the defendant was suffer- ing"
 Mir Jerome handed the witness the original copy of the will and asked:
 Eighth Section of wfH.
 What paranoiac signs were display ed in thisr
 The eighth section of the will" said Dr. Evans, indicates paranoiac form of adolescent insanity, rather than any of the other forms of adoiescent or de- velopmcntal insanity. This section shows an apprehensive state of mind because he was willing to give large sums to prosecute men whom he sus- pected were trying to kill him. I have been asked to classify this form of in sanity and I nut 1t In the paranoiac class as it shows some of the charac- teristics of paranoia."
 MT Jerome moved to strike out the answer as unresponsive.
 I asked the witness a question" he said, "and he has delivered an address. The question and the address bear lit- tie relation to each other"
 Justice Fitzgerald allowed the am swer to stand.
 District Attorney Jerome continued his endeavor to have Dr. Evans classify the general form of Thaw's insanity as between paranoiac and adolescent in- | sanity
 ,"I believe as general proposition that he was mentally unsound,' said pr Evans. and that Is as far as I care to go"

 At the time of writing the will | Did he have anything like that when he killed Stanford Winter T cannot say positively" 1 "what are you positive aboutV 'I am positive as to mental derange- mant"
 Why Dta He Arm Himself | Doctor what is your opinion as the mental condition of the defendant to l lead him to arm himselff That he believed thugs had been set on him and that he had been advised to | do so by Pittsburg detective" | After luncheon recess Thaw brought half hundred new letters with him. He spent much of the afternoon in read ing them, seeming far more interested in what his volunteer correspondents had to say than in the evidence of his alienist.
 During the morning session Thaw asked and received permission to leave the court room. When he got into the prisoners pen. 1t is said. he to1t his guard that he merely wanted tc stretch himself and get some exercise He waved his arms somewhat violentl, and walked rapidly up and down.
 District Attorney Jerome was in' formed of what had occurred.
 From your observation and from thu facts in the hypothetical question. Is | your opinion tha. in 1906 this defend ant had intelligence enough to know that he was carrying revolver" asked District Attorney Jerome.sof Dr. Evans
 Some of the time. yes"
 Some of the time yes"
 Do you think that up to June 25 1906, he was possessed of sufficient 1 knowledge to know that if this re- volver was discharged into a human being, 1t was apt to cause death."
 'He must have done so or he would not have carried it to protect himself.'
 'Ts there anything in the evidence which shows that he did not have this intelligence to know?"
 "It might have been intelligence, ol 1t might have been delusion. An in sane man can fire a revolver as well as a sane one"
 l Dr. Evans declared that Thaw be- came so wrought up at the mention ot Stanford Whites name, he probably al such times did not understand the full force and bearing the firing of loaded revolver might have

 When he put that pistol in his pocket" said Mir. Jerome, "do you be. lieve he knew it to be a proper instru- ment for defending himself from the dangerF
 He probably did"
 Doctor, what Is the characteristic symptom of brain storm--calmness oi excitement?"
 "A brain storm" began Dr. Evans
 Hold on," interrupted Mir Jerome "I don't want to know all about tho brain storms. generally. simply want to know If brain storms are char. acterized by calmness or excitement
