The ThaW Trial,

New York March 5.-Dr. Wagner
was called as the first witness in the
Thaw trial this morning
Jerome in beginning his examination
read part OF DR.. Wagner's testimony
yesterday in which he cited from one
of the District Attorneys own books OF
reference the case Of woman who 81
fered "brain storm" who became vio-
lent at IL o'clock at night and was
perfectly lucid the next morning, al
though she had no knowledge of what
she had done during the insane period,
The questions and answers we're on
previous lines, and during examination
of the witness an argument ensued be-
tween Jerome and the witness whether
the acts of and insane person show a
logical connection With the motive he
has to act. DR.. Wagner held that it
was impossible to lay down rule on
the subject.
After the examination of Dr.. Wagner
had proceeded further,
Jerome grew testy. Once he lost his
temper and broadly intimated be
doubted DR., Wagner honesty because
he would not answer questions as he de-
sired.
New York, Mar. 8 Attorney Delmas
defeated District Attorney Jerome in
the first real duel of counsel in the trial
OF Harry X. ThaT, at noon, today.
Jerome had asked Alienist Wagner
to repeat conversations between him and
Thaw in the Tombs. Delmas objected on
the previous ruling OF the court, that
such conversations could be admitted
only when 1t has been shown that the
defendant was insane at the time Of the
conversation. Jerome urged that it was
an elementary rule Of evidence that
condition once shown to exist was as
sumed to exist until the contrary was
shown.
In his statement to the court he sad
that under the evidence now In, the only
presumption was that the defendant was
then inEsno and is still insane. He
carefully avoided, however, saying
whether or not this was his opinion.
Toe two attorneys srgued back and
forth for half an hour, laud st the cOuclus
slou Judge Fitzgerald sustained DeImss.
DR.. Charles g. Wagner in his tesu-
mony today stated positively that there
was no evidence Of epilepsy In Thaw.
rhis apparently closes the gate TO one Of
Jerome's roads to Mstteawan, and was
considered the most important point In
the day g ev dence.

Russia,s New Douma.

ST. Petersburg, March 81 The open
ing today of the new Doums, Russia's
second parliament, Tss attended with
much excitement. Outside the Tsurida
Palace, where the Donna sits, there
we're tumultuous popular demonstrations,
probably indicative OF the stormy future
Of the assembly.
The public was barred from admission
to the place by cordons Of troops. The
people, however, gathered by the thous.
and near the entrance for the deputies
and greeted their favorite men who had
proved themselves loyal to the peoples
interests. The warmest greetings were
given to the socialists. Whenever one
Sould appear there would be loud cries
from the people for amnesty" and
"freedom."
Excited citizens gathered outside the
Taurida Palace for the opening of the
Donna engaged In such wild demon
stration that cavalry charge was order
ed to clear the streets about the palace.
Many persons were ridden down and
badly injured.
No party has majority and some Of
the parties are shaded into each other that
it is impossible to enumerate their actual
voting strength.
1t is expected, however, that the
nationals, radicals, end socialists will
possess a small majority on all important
matters of legislation.
Premier stolypin can rely absolutely
on the Arm support of the Gar If Coz
fiict with tho Donna arises over obstruc'
ton tactics. Nicholas will dissolve the
Douma as he did the last rather than
submit 10 d;ctation. He Ia known TO

than abandon the cabinet"
Promptly at noon the Douma was for
mnlly opened. Premier Stolypln and

Divine service was held by the Metro
politan Autonius, md Bishops Plato and
Eulagius, both Of whom are members OF
the Douma.
After this ceremony Antonius deliv-
cred a speech hoping the new assembly
will act for the good Of the country,
which 10 now In the throes OF anarchy.
he concluded Gith prayer that Goo
will direct the deputies in their work
and appealed for peace and harmon.
N. GOlovin, 8 member of the liberal
party, was then chosen president OF the
Doums.
n. Golunbof, vice president of the
council of tho empire, read the Cars
decree convoking the Douma and was re-
eeived with the widest cheering from
about 100 deputies, who jumped to their
feet in a remarkable demonstration OF
loyalty to the imperial government.
For ten minutes their shouts Of 'Ione
live the Cssr" blocked all proceedings.
In the meantime, the rest of the depu-
tres present, about 300 In number, Sat 10
sulIen silence.
When the demonstration over the
Cars decree had subsidized President
Coloyin made bis speech Of acceptance.
1t was conservative expressing the hope
that the douma would try to work 10
harmony with the Gar. At 4 o'clock
the session adjourned.
The general impression was that the
majority Of the deputies are honestly de-
sirous Ct avoiding going to extremes and
hope to secure much useful legislation.
There was, however combin ID excite
ment 10 the streets, many persons waV-
Ing flags and singing the "Marseillaise. Z"
