New York, March 9L-District Attorney
Jerome this afternoon submitted 10 JUS
tice Fitzgerald the afidavits upon which
he bases his belief that Harry X. Thaw
Is now of such unsound mind as 10 be in
capable of advising with his counsel. and
which he thinks will induce the court to
appoint a commission in lunacy 70 de-
termine the present mental state OF the
defendant
After receiving the afidavits Justice
Fitzgerald gave Delmas until O'Clock
Saturday afternoon TO submit such an
swerihg afidavits as he may wish TO pre-
pare. The court Will then consider both
Jeromes and Delmas' statement of the
case. If it desires further enlightenment
from either the prosecution or the de-
Tense, it viii inform counsel of the fact.
Otherwise it viii decide whether or not
TO appoint a commission without further
reference to counsel.
All this was determined in a little more
than an hour after court convened at .
o'clock this afternoon. It is likely that
Delmas' reply TO the district attorney s
statement of his position VIII consist
partly of affidavits from the alienists for
the defense. TO the effect that Thaw is
now capable of advising his counsel
properly. To these viii probably be add
ed afidavits 20 the same effect from
several Of the Thaw lawyers.
Eight AfadaVits Filed.
Eight afldavits were submitted by Je-
rome to Justice Fitzgerald in support of
his contention that Thaw is now insane.
The first affidavit is from a newspaper
reporter, who recites the circumstances
leading up TO the statement issued by
Thaw a day or so after his wife finished
her examination on the stand.
The other alfidavits are from seven
ahenists. These affidavits are practically
alike. They are from Drs. Austin Flint
Carlos r. Macdonald, William Mabon
William B. PritchaTd. Albert Warren
Ferris, and Allen Ross Diefendorf. They
speak of having examined the exhibits
in the case, consisting of the Thaw let
ters and the Thaw viii and eodieii; the
statement made 10 Mr. Cobb by Thaw.
and the history OF insanity on the ma
ternal and paternal side of Thaw's family.
Declare Thav Insane.
These six doctors state that Thaw is suf-
fering from mental disease from which
II is reasonably certain that he will never
recover, and that the discharge of Harry
X. Thaw would be dangerous TO the pub
lie peace and safety. and that he should
be committed 20 an institution for the in
sane. To this they add that they are Of
the opinion that Thaw has been in such a
state OF insanity or lunacy for some time
''as 10 be Incapable OF understanding the
proceedings against him or making his
defense"
Dr. William Hirsch, who was an assist
ant 10 Prof. Mendel an eminent au-
thority on mental diseases, goes beyond
