without any apparent reason, Thaw rushed for one of the blinds to win dow, drew up the blind, slammed 1t down again and then drew it up once conductor"
 What was Thaws manner?"
 Tt was difiant. vague, and his eyes flashed from right to left in this way" Dr. Wiley Illustrated with his eyes)
 AS an expert and from your per sonal observation can you say wheth- CT his actions were rational or ira. tional?"
 Irrational
 Mir Gleason here formed hypothet. ical question on which he outlined Thaw's act of killing Stanford White CRABT2EE FEB D. on the Madison Square Roof Garden and coupled with it the interrogation as to whether the witness could ex- press an opinion of such an action committed by the person he saw in the Pittsburg street car.
 T can" said Dr Wiley.
 twill you express an opinion?'
 T believe that that man"
 District Attorney Jerome objected.
 You must not state belief" said Mir Jerome, that is not evidence. You must give an opinion.'
 Ia int nr NNiIoN ic that the man who committed the act described was suffering from insan- ity"
 How many people have you exam ined as an expert as to their in sanity"
 Oh, about 800; l don't know
 Did you use the Romberg test on any of these?"
 T don't exactly know what the Romberg test is cannot say"
 Mir Jerome displayed the thorough ness with which he has studied medi cal authorities to fit himself for the Thaw case by leading the witness through chain of questions dealing with pathology, which at. times seemed to thoroughly baffle the wit ness, who hesitated time and again and evaded direct answers
 Dr. Wiley was still undergoing cross examination when recess was taken until D. m.
 Dr. Wiley resumed the stand as soon as the afternoon session was convened.
 Who have you talked to during the recess?" was the first question Mir. Wiley seemed taken aback.
 With Mir. Gleason" he said.
 Who else?"
 Several other gentlemen, I don't know who they were"
 Did you talk about this case?"
 Yes. One of the gentlemen told me the Romberg test was a test for locomotor ataxia.'
 They told you that?"
 Yes"
 MT. Jerome further continued the tactics of the morning session, put ting the witness through rigid test as to his professional knowledge.
 Harry Thaw came back from the Tombs for the afternoon session with a spring to his step. He had ap- peared depressed at the morning ses- sion
 There was the suggestion of q smile on Harry Thaw's face at some of the questions propounded to Dr. Wiley by Mir. Jerome. The jury held the expert always in focus.
 Mir. Jerome proceeded:
 Doctor, does the cardiac nerve connect directly with the cerebellum ?"
 The witness hesitated.
 Well" resumed his inquisitor, may be you can tell us if the pneumo- gastric nerve joins the spinal column in the lumbar circle or in the dorsal region?'
 'In the dorsal region" the witness replied. after a few moments of thought
 Where is the dorsal region?"
 'I have not read much on that, "Oh. we'll, never mind that. Tell me if it Is not fact that the pneumo- gastric ard cardiac are one and the same thing"
 They may be-"
 Don't you. as specialist in nerve diseases and an expert. know which is whlch?"
 The witness remained silent. Dis trict Attorney Jerome rained question after question upon him and no an swer was vouchsafed.
