IN THAW TRIAL
EvaIyn NGsbit ThaW Completes Her Testimony and
Experts are Now Being Examined as to

ftainod. Dclmas announced today
that tho defense would conclude It's
case this week.
Jerome said Ne would call DR.,
BIngamon for the state in rebuttal
and asked permission to take his
testimony In the form of deposit
ton. Delmas objected, saying the
testimony must be taken In open
court Jerome asked Blngamen to
return next Monday. Or, b. d, Ey-
ans was then called for cross oXami-
nation. Jerome examined Evans as
to what medical colleges he had at
tended and then asked II he consld-
cred himself master Of his profess
sion. Evans replied he did not know
what he meant by master. do you
know anyone who is master OF your
profession?" asked Jerome. "If you
mean a man who knows all about It,
there are none such In medicine, law
or any other science" replied Evans.
jerome asked II II was not more i'm
portant for an expert On the stand
TO be calm and dignitled than to in
dulge In sharp repartee. Delmas OBJ
iected and was sustained. Jerome
read several questions from q PAM
phlet which Evans acknowledged
he wrote but all OF Delmas' obiec-
tons were sustained Jerome then
switched the cross examination to
further examination as to what ex-
perlence Evans had as an expert
In the course Of the examination
OF Evans, Jerome admitted he would
call Or, Allen McLane Hamilton as
witness. Io was originally re-
tanned by the defense. 1t is said he
believes Thaw s,ilt insane. Dr. Ev-
ans could not say whether DR.. Hamil-
ton and DR.. Carlos Mcdonald were
considered authority. He said no
did not consider William osor an
authority Delmas was constantly
Directing to questions put to Evans
by jerome and the objections were
generally sustained by Judge Fitz-
gerald, Delmas announced that the
defense will be finished this week.
Replying to Jerome, DR.. Evans
said unsystematlzod deIusions are so
numerous and varied It would take
interminable time to describe them
but no finally described them as de-
luslons not depending upon a focul
deluslon. Evans said he did not be-
lleve Thaw was demented. Further
said he did not believe Thaw ever
was demented in his definition OF
that word.

Nov York. Feb. 27.-E Evelyn Nos
bit TAaw left the stand yesterday
afternoon with her story practically
unbroken. Jerome brought out a
number OF facts which do not re-
dound 10 the credit OF the young
woman and which may even be said
TO reflect on her credibllity hut
aside from making her admit that
fncts hardly justified the inference
that sho was drugged AZ the time
she says white ruined her, her story
remains in all is essential details
Just as she originally told 1t. Today
probably tho entire time Will be
taken up by the cross examination
OF medical experts. As Jerome and
pr. Evans are not on friendly terms
as was evidenced the other day when
the distrlct attorney refused to shake
hands with the alienist, It Is believed
that Jerome viii take especial pains
TO shake his testimony.
When the Thaw trial reopened to-
lay, Jerome recalled Mrs. Tbaw. lie
,tatod no wished to ask her a few
more questions which he overlooked
at the opening OF the cross examlna-
lion. lie said II was not merely a
matter affecting the credibility OF the
witness, but matter which he might
wish to attempt to controyert On re-
nj, and wished to lay the foundation
for such action by calling her atten-
ton TO the matter,
BY the first question jerome
indicated no intended to call How
ard NesbIH to the witness stand to
contradict his sister He asked If,
when she saw her brother after her
return from Europe in 1908, she did
not complain that Thaw had brutally
treated her. The witness replied In
the negative. She also denied that
abe told her brother that Thaw tried
TO induce her tell lies about White to
the effect that White had drugged
and seduced her at tho same time
telling her brother the story was
false. She said her brother had not
advised her TO got revolver to pro-
iect herself against Thaw and that
she did not buy a revolver or give
her brother money 10 buy one for
her.
DR.. Charles u. Bingham, Of Pitts
burg, Thaw's family physician, was
the next Witness. He testified as to
Thaw'B condition on November,
1908, at which time he was very ner-
yous and melancholy and seemed
much changed from his former con-
dltion. Ho also saw him in the
Tombs after the shooting. AZ this
latter time no had delusions. This
was Irrational. On cross examination
Jerome asked as to the faint OF in
