DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEROME Sc.
WE'RE IN cROss.ExAMINATION
OF THAW WITNESS.
SHOWS CLOSE Study OF SUBJECT
QUESTIONS ASKED BY PRoSECU.
TOR At TIMES THOROUGHLY
eAFFLE THE EXPERT.

New York, Feb. 8.-The defense OF
Harry Kendall Thaw, charged with
the murder Of Stanford White, was
begun when DR.. c. c. Wiley, an alien
list from Pittsburg, took the stand and,
testified that In his opinion Thaw was
insane the night Of the Madison
Square Roof Garden tragedy. He
based this opinion on the mans ac-
tions on the roof garden and the fact
that he had witnessed an act by Thaw
in Pittsburg street car which i'm
pressed him with the belief that the
young man was not Of sound mental
ity.
District Attorney Jerome put the
witness through the most severe
cross-examination ever heard III New
York courtroom. The prosecuting
officer seemed to have every medical
authority at his finger tips.
Mr.. Jerome displayed the thorough
ness with which he has studied med
ical authorities to fit himself for the
Thaw case by leading the witness
through a chain Of questions dealing
with pathology, which at times seemed
to thoroughly battle the witness, who
hesitated time and again and evaded
direct answers.
DR.. Wiley was still under fire when
the luncheon recess was ordered.
Are you nearly through" inquired
Justice Fitzgerald of the district at
torney.
mo, indeed, your honor" replied
Mr.. Jerome, II am just getting inter-
ested In the subject"
Repeats the Performances.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Jerome
further continued the tactics of the
morning session, putting the witness
through rigid test as to his medical
knowledge. There was just the sug-
gestion of smile on Harry Thaw's
face at some of the questions pro-
pounded to DR.. Wiley by Mr.. Jerome.
The jury held the expert always In
focus.
During the long and narrowing
cross-examination of the witness
Thaw's counsel were study. Mr.
Gleason looked appealingly at DR.,
Wiley as he was piled with Mr.. Je.
rome's questions. Mr.. Delmas looked
interested at times and then again
appeared fatigued. Mr.. Hartridge was
palpabiy worried. Mr.. Peabody was
busy In conversation with the pris
oner a good part OF the time. Attor
ney McPike could not suppress a
smile. Assistant District Attorney
Garvan plainly indicated his enjoy
ment OF DR.. Wiley's ordeal.
District Attorney Jerome concluded
his cross-examination OF DIR. Wiley al
c:4O p. m. and DR.. G. H. Bingaman
Thaw family physician, was called
DR.. E!ngaman testified that Harry
Thaw. as an infant. suffered from st
Vitus dance
On cross-examination Mr.. Jerome
merely had DR.. Ringaman repeat thai
Thaw was seven years old when he
suffered from st. Vitus dance. The
witness then was released

Washington, D. c. DEC. Chicago
was today selected as the place, and
June 16, 1908, the time for the meet
ing of the next Republican National

The decision by the Republican Ma
tionaI committee followed a long and

the end with a formidable, but not
important effort to secure the CON

for Chicago and 8 for Kansas City
and -four for Denver. The vote was
made unanimous. j.
I Everyone accepted the decision OF
the COMMITTEES good naturally and six

v,sr boomers declared that they would
| come pack after it again in 1912 and
would be sure to get it at that time.
The selection Of the time for the con-
vention was between the LIST of June
and the last of June, and all were sat

| No official announcement of the.
roll call on location was made and
some special effort was necessary to
prevent secret ballot, which was

such a course said he had no doubt
many delegates had given pledges to
more than one city and if such was
the case an open ballot would be enl-
barassing. Mr.. Capsrs advocated an
open ballot, saying that the National
| committee should set an example to
the country in such matters and that
every member should be willing to
have his position known. ,.s-,.. .sae..

the number of their representatives
