New York, March A. The exanlina-
tion Of DR.. Evans. the insanity expert,
continued this morning when the Thaw
trial reconyened DR.. Evans said that
Thaw's action after the shooting Of
White showed he did not appreciate what
he had done, because he made no at-
tempt to escape.
'How about Thaw's remark to the
fireman, He ruined my wife'?n said Je-
rome.
"lt showed that the Thought which
weighed him down SO heavily for a long
time, the thought Of his wife's debauch
cry, was still with him" replied Dr. Ev-
ans.

ception Of why he was arrested?p asked
jerome.
ut is possible that he may have had
an insane conception of the whole af-
fair
District Attorney Jerome questioned
the witness sharply regarding the signi-
tieance Of Thaw's action just after the
tragedy, but obtained only semi salts

sWhen he said to bis wife, 'All right,

Both "YeS'' and NO Adyo-
Gates Profess Confidence
OF To- -MORROW'S RESULTS
Citizens City Ticket Sure Of Election,
But There Is an Unconfrmed Iu-
NOR Of Coming Changes at
the City Hall.

The day before the annual March elec-
tion finds the city awakened quite a bit
over the liquor question and in three
wards over the election Of alderman, but
otherwise there is little movement. The
question of license or no-lieense for an
other year is easily that Of greatest
concern this year, and the advocates of,
each side are awaiting the result with
equal confidence. a report was current
this morning that the license side had
bought up all the double livery teams III
the city, but that was triie far-fetched.
The "Yes1 people have not been making
much Of an effort On the surface, but
they have been working, nevertheless.
The "No' supporters have been striving
hard to keep the city in the no license
column, and on the eve Of the election
profess to have confidence in the result.
The vote on the liquor question III
this city during the past four years Is
as follows:

Another word has pertinenee Because
great deal Of liquor has come into
the city the past year, especially from
South Barre, let no one conclude That
we may as well have license. This would
be to lump ont of the frying-pan into
