New York, April 3.--It was an
nounced Tuesday night, after a ses-
sion which lasted from 1880 O'CLOCK
Tuesday morning until $3.50 p. M, that
the lunacy commission inquiring int
the present mental state OF Harry X,
Thaw will conclude its labors Welnes-
day and report its conclusion to JUS
tiee Fitzgerald before the hour set for
the Thaw jury to report in court on
Thursday morning. There will be u
brief public session Wednesday to hear
the testimony of an allenist offered
by District Attorney Jerome and then
will follow a private mental and phys
ical examination Of the defendant.
Only the members Of the commission
and the official stenographer would
be present at Thaw's last ordeal, at
torneys for the defense and the dis
trict attorney being barred. The an.
nouncement that the commission de
sired to renew its private examination
Of Thaw came at the end Of day Of
many witnesses and was in the ma
ture Of complete surprise. The de-
cision probably was due to the con-
flicting character OF the testimony
heard. It was another battle Of alien
lists. Those engaged by the districi
attorney declared Thaw absolutely IN
capable of understanding his condition,
Of realizing the nature Of the charge
against him or of nationally conferrinf
with counsel, while those engaged BY
the defense declared Thaw throughout
the trial had acted in a rational man-
ner. had nationally advised his eoun-
sci. IN their hearing and fully UNDER
stood and appreciated everything con-
nected with the trial

mltted they had reached heir conclu- |
