New York, Feb. 6-Interest in the
opening of the Thaw case today CEN
tered in the maneuvers of counsel
for the defense, who were dissatis-
fled with the manner in which Glea-
son conducted the case yesterday
AS soon as the case opened it was
seen that Delmas had assumed charge
and it was said that Delmas had de-
livered the ultimatum that he would
withdraw from the case unless given
free hand in conducting the fight
for Thaw's life.
Benjamin Boman, door-keeper at
the Madison Square Garden Theatre.
was the first witness. "A few nights
after Christmas" he said, stanford
White came up to me after the show
and wanted to know if Miss Nesbit
had gone home. / told him she had.
He replied, You are a - liar
told him to go back upon the stage
and see for himself. When he re-
turned, as ne passed me ne pulled a
pistol from his pocket and muttered,
'I'll find and kill that - - -
before daylight -
The witness said that he communi-
Gated this threat to Thaw.
7 On cross examination, Boman said
the incident occurred on Christmas
eve, 1908. He said further that he
told White Miss Nesbit had gone
home with Thaw He said that White
did not mention Thaw by name when
he made the threat of killing.

err succeeded Boman upon the stand.
He testified that he did not know
White but that a man had been point
ed out to him as White. Objection was
made to his stating his conversation
with this man, as there had been no
Identification of White. Delmas then
withdrew the witness until a future
time.
Martin Green, a newspaper man,
was the next witness. He was a wit
ness of the shooting of White by
Thaw. He said that Thaw was very
pale at the time, that his eyes seem
ed about to pop out of his head and
his hai- was hanging down on his
forehead
I'm your opinion was his action
rational or irrational?" District At
torney Jerome objected as the wit
ness was not competent to testify as
an expert Delmas quoted authorities
in support of his question, but the
district attorney contended that the
decisions had been superseded by
| later opinidns- Thereupon the court
| ordered recess until two O'Clock, du-

to consult authorities.
At the afternoon session Justice
Fitzgerald overruled Jerome's objec-

Thaw's actions were irrational.
that he had no experience with in
sane persons and that he Judged en-

Thomas McCaleb, who accompanied
the Thaws to dinner on the evening
of the tragedy, testified that he saw
Mrs. Thaw pass her husband a note
at the table at the Cafe Martin There

outbreak at Vancouver is declared by
the eXcldsionist leaders to have

bitter against the Japanese, and their
leaders are afraid to trust a parade.

arms and as the police will try to pre-
vent any trouble, bloodshed would be
