been drinking hards- ~xes." Mir. Jerome said he would defer any further oross examination he might de- sire to make of the witness. Those vo1ces Again. Policeman Thomas ?. Lynch followed oficer Barrett on the stand. He had Thaw in charge the morning after the tragedy. In his opinion Thaw at tnat time was irrational. Thaw had also complained to him
 about hearing the voices of little girls in the station T told him there were no little girls in the station. He said he heard them crying. and they sounded to him like they were no more than 12 years ola. walked over to the air shaft and hs- tened. I heard nothing, but I said to him, Do you hear them nowr He
 said Yes and then sad. well, you must be dopey." Officer Lynch said on cross- examine ton he did not think his memory was any better now than 1t was immedi- ately after the tragedy, but he might have remembered some things that he did not remember the next day. Did you say to Mir. Hamilton, the stenographer in my office. the day af- ter the homicide, I have seen many
 dope fiends, and I think he is oner | asked Mir. Jerome. Yes" .Did you say. He had the appear
 ance of having been drinkingr "Yes."
 Did you say. The matron had her usual number of Tenderioin women,
 and perhaps he heard themT This ended ofzicer Lynch's exasnina- tion and he was excused. Alienists For Defense. Following the regular afternoon re- cess, MT. Delmas called to be sworn, five of the defense's alienists They were Drs. Graeme M. Hammond. Smith Ely Jelliffe. Charles W. Pilgrim. Minas Gregory and william A White. Dr. Hamond was the first of the i've to take the stand. He qualified as an expert by stating his education and the various positions he has held. MT. pelmas asked Dr. Hammond if he had ben in court when the prosecu- tion's Hypothetical question was put to the experts for the State. He said he was and that he had read the question over and was thoroughly familiar with it.
 Tn your opinion. at the time the person described in this question as Harry K .Thaw', fired the shot which caused the death Of Stanford White, do you think Harry K Thaw' knew the
 act was wrongf' asked MT. Delmas. Tn myopinian he did not" answered Dr. Hammond. Al that time did he know the na- ture and quality of his act" "In my opnion he did not" was that failure to know his act was wrong, due to defect of reason under which he was then laboginET "Yes." MT. Jerome took up the cross exanin- ation. "what sort of defect was Harry K. Thaw' suffering fromr' he asked. "A form of mental unsoundness.@
 'sWhat form7. T can't say exactly what form"
 ''was it brain storm7'
 Tt may have been.S "Did you ever hear of a brain storm before Dr. Evans sprung 1t on us hers7' "Yes." '"whel e?'' Tn two medical dictionaries" Jerome is satirical. Dr. Hammond gave Mir. Jerome the names of the dictionaries. The District Attorney asked for a
 syninymn for brain storm. Maniacal furor." said Dr. Hammond. Do you think Harry K Thaw' was like 6 rudderiess ship which had lost | it's balance wheel?" Perhaps" "Did you ever hear of rudderless
 ship that had lost it's balance wheel
 as q synonym for brain storm?" Yes"
 From whom9" 'Dr. Evans"
 what is a rudderless ship which has lost it's balance wheelT' T don't know what the balance wheel has to do with it." ak A Ah-~A At- T don't use brain storm myself" where does maniacal furor come in. in this hypothetical questionT asked
 Mir. Jerome.
 T cannot pick out any one part"
 replied Dr. Hammond, T must consid-
 CT the whole case"
 where are its elements7" "The presence of St. Vitus dance twice and the fact that an uncle was
 of msound mind" "Is there anything in this question | that shows the reason for that uncle's unsoundness of mind? Is there any thing that shows that he was not hit | in the head with a brick"
 "No. am not considering that her. editary taint."
 where do you find presence of St. vitus dance twice in that question:" 'Once Is enough"
 '"why, then, did you say twice3' .That must have been in some other
 question. I have read of several of
 them.'
 ~Yet you are answering this ques-
 tion7"'
 'Yes."
 What is St. vitus dancer
 ''It is a disease of the brain." Do rheumatism and scarlet fever
 ever cause St. vitus dancer" 'I think rheumatism does sometimes, | but it never comes except where a child is predisposed to 1t by a neurotic
 condition. Mfr. Jerome started to read to the
 witness a case of alleged brain storm
 which had been cited by Dr. Wagner
 when he was on the stand, but MT, Del
 mas objected Mir. Jerome withdrew
 the form of the question and said he would ask 1t as a hypothetical Ques-
 tion. He again started to read the case from a book, however, and again Mr. Delmas interrupted with an objection. l Fitzgerald stops Jerome. If the District Attorney persists in
 putting the question in a form which
 the court has plainly intimated in the
 past Is objectionable, cannot rule un- 1 til he completes it." remarked Justice Fitzgerald
 MT. Jerome did not persist. He turned to Dr. Hammond and saids
 Was Thaw suffering from a brain | storm?"
 q am willing to accept that defini-
 tion." replied the witness.
 Was 1t also maniacal furor-was
