many and elaborate reasons for his
opinion and during his examination
Delmas brought out the fact, whereas
Thaw was suffering from storm and
stress" when the alienist first visited
him in August last, his condition had
shown steady and general improve.
ment until on October s. Thaw was
more composed and deliberate.
Delmas laid particular emphasis
upon the Importance of showins
Thaw's condition of mind Just sub

with District Attorney Jerome.

planned that the jury by means OF
wreckage on the beach may infer that

Mental Explosion Left Traces,
Evans declared that the mental ex-
plosion which induced Thaw to kill
White had left its traces upon the
defendant when he first visited him.
He said Thaw exhibited symptoms of
paranoia and adolescent insanity. The
first was indicated by his eXaltation,
his exaggerated ego the idea of
his supreme Importance, Adolescent
insanity is due to heredity and is
characteristic to the development
period of life-from 10 to 40 years.
Evans declared that Thaw's mind had
slipped its moorings and was like 8

storm. The ordaals of stress had ad-
ded their work sto the psychopathic
faint which came from heredity Ev-
ans declared that as 4 result of his
first three visits to Thaw following
the tragedy he was convinced that
the man was of unsound mind. AS
a result of his last visits he found
that while still suffering from the
somewhat exaggerated opinion of self
importance, he was much improved.
The improvement was not stationary
during this time he said, but pro
gressive.
Mind Was improved
The testimony was brought out In
/ line with the contention of the de
Tense that while Thaw was insane
prior to and at the time and immeu-
lately subsequent to the homicide, he
has improved to a sound condition of
mentality following the removal OF
the cause of stress.
Evans may be crossexamined today,
although Jerome had not indicated his
course. 1t may be that Delmas will
recall Mrs. Thaw to continue her
story now that the expert witnesses
have testified as to Thaw's insanity
prior to the tragedy The defense
has other alienists, however, who may
or may not be put upon the stand.
