Attorney Jerome's intention OF ap-
plying for commission OF lunAcy
to examine Harry K. Thaw seem
ed to be definitely established to-
day during the continuance Of his
cross examination Of DR.. Evans.
Evans stated that he believed
Thaw had been suffering from
adolescent insanity in 1903 and at
the time Of his marriage In 1908
and that when he killed White on
June %, 1906, he was the Victim
of an acute recurrent attack Of the
same mental malady,
Evans was more definite In his
answers today and was induced to
make these statements with posi-
tiveness. In addition to what h0
termed Thaws mental ''explo.
sions" he said there were indica-
tions of mental instability at other
times
Jerome during the examination con
stantly referred to the subject Of par
anoia. but was unable to secure froirl
the witnes any admission that would
tend to show that Thaw was q para
nofac.
ThaW's insanity Not Chronic.
BY this line OF questioning 1t seems
probable that the prosecution will at
tempt to show that instead Of being
afflicted with insanity Of adolescence.
Thaw Is actually paranoiac.
Evans would not classify adolescent
insanity as chronic in Thaw,s case.
He said he had known cases Of this
form Of unsoundness to clear up over
