MOTHER DENIES INSANITY faint

The defense began its hard fight
to prove that Thaw is not insane
today by presenting to Justice Fitz-
gerald a number of afidavits of
alienists, counsel and Mrs. William
Thaw, the defendants mother. The
evidence presented is intended to
show that Thaw was capable of
managing his own case, and his let
tiers to his senior counsel are filed
with the affidavit. Mrs. William
Thaw strenuously denies that there
was any hereditary insanity in her
family.
NEW YORK, March 23.-The attorneys
for Harry K. Thaw today filed answer to
the suggestion made by District Attorney
Jerome to Justice Fitzgerald that Thaw is
mentally incapable of understanding the
nature of the proceedings against him and
is a subject for a commission in lunacy
rather than for jury, which holds only the
power of liberty or death. experimenting
their own unanimous opinion that Thaw
does understand the nature of the pro-
ceedings against him and daily advises in
diligently with his counsel, the lawyers
have filed afidavits from the medical ex-
perts employed by the defense and fur
Their affidavit by Mrs William Thaw, the
mother of the defendant. Mrs. Thaw, how
ever does not address herself to the ques-
ton Immediately at issue. She takes ad-
vantage of the opportunity, she declares,
to state that in the direct line of descent
for four generations there has been no
faint of insanity or epilepsy in the pris-
oner's family. She resents the malicious
Misrepresentation and gross exaggeration''
on the subject.
