president of the State Life Insurance
company. in the Investigation Of that
company by the auditor of state, it

up" Quinn replied: Il simply regard
ell his employment as absolutely neces-

Much of the Testimony Ruled Gus
Temporarily, at Least-Delmas, of
Thaw's Counsel, Is Not
Pleased.

New York, Feb. 6. = The task OF
proving TO a jury that Harry Thaw

mental stress-when he shot and killed
Stanford White was taken up by the
defense in this famous case, but when
adjournment was announced later in
the afternoon it was the general opin-
ion in the court room that but little
progress had been made. Thaw's at
torneys endeavored in vain to place be-
fore the jury evidence tending, it was
said, to prove a strain of insanity in
the collateral branches of the defend
ants family, but they were blocked at
every point by District Attorney
Jerome. whose objections were upheld
by the rulings of Justice Fitzgerald
Expert Put on the Stand.
The defense did, however, get before
the twelve men in the box the testi-
money Of an expert that in his opinion
Harry Thaw was suffering from in

The district attorney astonished ev-

medicine and its technical phraseology
demonstrating the care with which
he had prepared himself to meet the
very defense which Thaw's counsel has
entered in his behalf. Jerome search

evasive replies. Often he brought up
