MRS. rAAw STEPS ASIDE.
insanity Expert on the Stand In Muir.
der Trial,

New York, Feb. 11.-After an inter-
esting but not sensational morning
session OF less than two hours dura-
tion 1t was agreed by counsel engaged
In the trial of Harry K. Thaw that
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, the wife OF
the defendant, should definitely step
aside for the time being to permit of
the introduction of competent testi-
mony tending to show the alleged un-
sound condition of the prisoners
mind.
Mrs. Thaw was permitted to tell but
little because of objections of Mr..
Jerome. She did, however, declare
that Thaw only carried a revolver
while in New York city. One of the
few bits of testimony Mrs. Thaw was
allowed to give was regarding the
note she passed to her husband at
dinner in the Cafe Martin the night of
the tragedy. Mr.. Jerome agreed to
produce the slip of paper, which has
been held by him. 1t was identified
by Mrs. Thaw and read by Mr.. Del
mas as follows:
"The b was here a minute ago.,
but went out again."
The "b" meant the "blackguard,''
Mrs. Thaw said, and referred to STAN
ford White.
DR.. Charles Wagner, superintendent
Of the state hospital for the insane at
Binghampton, N. Y, followed Mrs.
Thaw on the stand. DR.. Wagner said
when he first examined Thaw in the
Tombs the latter was suspicious and
feared he would be declared insane.
Answering a hypothetical question
asked by Mr.. Delmas DR.. Wagner said
that Thaw did not know his act was
wrong.
