| (Continued from First Page,) rome, I've are just getting to the point of this thing"
 Well, we have been mighty long time getting there"
 MT Jerome disclaimed any responsi- bility for the tedious length of the cross-examination suggesting that the blame was with the evasive answers of the expert.
 T am not saying whose fault 1t is,' said Justice Fitzgerald, but I repeat, we have been a long time getting to the point"
 | The district attorney and the judge had another wordy conflict near the end of the day when MT. Jerome asked pr. Evans to give his opinion of pr. Allan McLane Hamilton, who is to be called In rebuttal by the state, and who is re- ported to have said that he believed Harry Thaw to be suffering from a i form of insanity which could not pos sibly have been eradlcated by this 1 time.
 T refuse to answer" replied the wit ness.
 MT. Jerome argued the point and cit- ed a part of the record in the Preusser case at Albany, where the presiding judge had allowed one expert to give an | opinion of another.
 Now you will direct the witness to ansWer?" suggested MT. Jerome inquir- ingly of the justice.
 1xriI r,ot rocpOpda6 TIGtina TitZ- gerald He added that he would not rule finally on the point until he had l read the entire record of the Preusser 1 trial. As MT. Jerome said the rule would cover the last questions of his examination the adjournment till Mon day was ordered. Dr. Evans will again be upon the stand.
 Dr. Evans declared to-day that Thaw showed a degree of adolescent insanity when he wrote the letters in 1905 after Evelyn Nesbit had told him of her all legged wrong at the hands of Stanford White The delusions apparent in the letters were more concentrated in the will and codicil executed April A. 1905, and when taken by themselves indicat- ed paranoic form of the insanity of adolescence. On June 25, 1906, when Thaw shot and killed Stanford White, Dr. Evans said the defendant was suf- fering from an explosive outburst of adolescent insanity
 MT. Jerome endeavored to induce the witness to admit that a person insane from 1903 to 1906 suffered from a chron- ic form of mental disorder but Dr. Evans insisted that the evidence mere ly showed acute outbursts, and not a chronic state.
 Now that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw Is no longer upon the stand and the center of all interest, the prisoner is attract Ing more and more attention. He gave out no additional statements to-day but just before the close of the morn ling session created almost as great a lsensation as on yesterday. when he Is sued his attack upon the "unprofes- sional' methods of the district attor- lney Through his counsel Thaw asked permission to absent himself from the room. Dr. Evans at the time was ex- ,amining an exhibit, and the request was granted.
 When he got Into the prisoners per Thaw threw off his hat, brought his heels together and began violently tc go through a five-minutes' drill at "set- ting up exercises" His guard looked on in amazement When he had finish. ed swinging ais arms IT W announced he was ready to return to the court room, declaring he felt lie had beer compelled to take the exercise. Mir Jerome, during the luncheon hour, was mlnutely informed of the defendants conduct and made notes upon It.
 Thaw again brought to court to-day several large packages of letters. His mail seems daily to be growing. He read the letters with avidlty and made pencil notes upon each when he had finished perusal of its contents, He took apparently no interest whatsoever in the fencing between the district at- torney and the alienist.
