the doctor said, from the previous tlilie
he knew him as patient.
The physician, answering ques'ioh
said he saw him in the TOmbs In Au-

Jerome asked: Nv hen IA brain expio-
sion does occur, would the acts OF the
insane person harboring the delusloii
be the natural sequence of the delu-
sion?'
DR.. Evans tried to evade the answer
but Jerome secured an admission that
the acts of such persons would prop-
ably be ''insanely logical.

Brother and Sister Meet.
The Journal this evening prints the
story that Howard Nesbitt and Evelyn
are reconciled. He says they met tfIs
morning at the hotel Lorraine for the
first time in two years, and as re-
suit. Howard's testimony may not be
damaging to Thaw.
Continue Discussion.
Evans and Jerome continued the dis
cussion of delusions Evans said ne
thought the authorities would all agree
that decisions prompt insane persons
to act not always in the natural Sc
quence of the delusion. Late this at
ternoon Evans said he did not think
Thaw demented today and saw no ev-
idence of melancholy.

Bingaman by trying to question Evans
as to the faint of insanity in Thaw's
family. Delmas' objection was sus :

allowed to show this, Jerome ex-
planned.
DR. Evans testified the defendant
might suffer from peculiar form OF
insanity marked by brain storms ana
explosive formations
My purpose is to show that there
is no faint of insanity in the Thaw
family
We admit such testimony" said
Delmas.
THE cross examination developed

Evans sought retention in the case
but Delmas blocked MS questions. He
asked the court 10 protect the witness
and it developed that Evans received
letter from Partridge requesting an
interview. His retention by the defense
was allowed.
DO YOU know DR.. Milane Hamilton?' ~
Yes"
The prosecutor tried to find out
whether DR.. Hamiltons writings on
insanity and nervous diseases as au-
thority Witness regarded them as OF
no value on certain points. He held
DR.. Carlos Mcdonald in a similar
opinion.
Jerome established that there is no
writer on nervous and mental diseases
whom the witness would accept as in
fallible authority.
