moment ago, but went out again"
D." Meant White.
ITO whom did b refer? asked
Delmas.
TO Stanford White"
Now I'll ask YOU" said Delmas, very
gently, eff you ever heard Mr.. Tina"
speak of any threat made against his
lie by White?"
Jerome objected, the court sustained
the question and it was restated. Je'
rome again objected on the gorund tina,
the question didn't bear on the irsar
ity defense but had to do with tht
plea of self defense which had not yet
been established by the Thaw attor
neys.
Jerome Objects Again.
Jerome's objection was sustained and
the court also sustained his objection
to the question about the malefactors
Thaw is alleged OF have said White
set upon his trail.
Evelyn had known Thaw carried
pistol at one time in 1903 in New YORK
but believed he never carried wea
pom when not in New York.
Did you ever say anything to your
husband about the visit you made tC
May Mckenzie at the hospital when
she was ill at which meeting White
was present." asked Delmas.
YES" answered the witness.
Jerome and Delmas again had {
spirited contest over the admissibility
OF evidence along self defense lines
The answer was then ruled out. The
question as to the effect upon her hus-
band of her seeing White was then
ruled out.
Questions as to the statement that
Thaw made to her regarding her re-
lations between White and other girls,
the question asking the repetition OF
her husbands proposal We're ruled out
Court adjourned upon the request OF
Delmas SO they might have time to
prepare expert estimony for the lack
Of which most of the questions were
ruled out
AT the opening this afternoon, Chas.
Wagner of Binghampton, N. Y, was
called to the stand and the defense
started to build legal base which
the court ruled must be laid down be-
fore it could start work OH an insanity
plea. The witness tesrier ne had
served as house surgeon of the New
al nd
sistant physician of the New York in
sane asylum at Utica for seven years
was now connected with the asylum
at Binghampton and had visited many
He said the study of insanity and the
insane had been his occupation for
years He prOfessed familiarity viii
the literature on the subject and said
he mad testified as an expert in several
trials after qualifying as an expert and
testified to knowing Thaw.
The witness said he saw Thaw last
on Ocober s, 1906, when he examined
to the TOmbs between June 26 and
October 8. Delmas asked Wagner
what he observed about the condition
of the prisoner when he examined him
ION my first visit" said the doctor
Il talked with Thaw in a general way
but didn't make a thorough examina-
ton.
Il observed that he was suspicious of
me and very apprehensive and OBJ
served he was fearful he would be
declared insane. September 10 1 went
to the TOmbs with another alienist.
We went to make a thorough exam
nation.
