New York-The state laid its case
against Harry X. Thaw-a plain, I'M
emotional story of the shooting on the
Madison Square roof garden. Mr..
Caravans outline of the states testi-
mony told how White went to the roof
on Madison Square garden to see the
initial production of a summer must
cal comedy, and then related in simple
language the incident of the killing.
THE people claim" he concluded,
that it was a cruel, deliberate, mali
cious, premeditated taking of a hui
man life. After proving that fact to
you, we will ask you to find the de-
PENDANT guilty of the crime of murder
in the first degree"
The Plea of the Defense.
The defense replied with a plea Of
hereditary insanity. 1t was asserted
that Thaw, in Staying Stanford White,
believed he was acting as an agent OF
Providence; that real or fancied
wrongs committed against him by the
architect and former friend of his wife
had caused the impulse to kill. When
the deed was done, Thaw made no
move to escape its consequences, but
holding the fatal revolver aloft, he
stood es if mutely proclaiming to the
world:
THE deed is done; it was right; it
was not wrong"
Thus, Thaw's counsel outlined his
case to the jury, after the prosecution
had occupied less than two hours, in
relating, through eye-witnesses, the
narrative of the tragedy.
The Story of This Mans Insanity.
You will hear the story of this
mans insanity Attorney John B
Gleason, for the defense, promised the
jury, from his mother, from his wife
from his relatives, and from his ply
sician. You will judge him by his ads
by hereditary and stress which en-
tered into his madness, and when you
come to judge him you will say tc
yourself that his act may have baeu
one of insanity, but it was not one
of crime"
His Love for Evelyn Nesbit.
Thaw's counsel told the story of tbs
prisoners love for the girl he wa:
to make his wife. He met Evelyn Mes
bit in 1901, and there then began il
him an honorable love and regard fol
the girl./ He told her mother of his
love. The girl was in a ~precarious
condition following a serious opera
ton in a sanitarium, and Thaw sug
gested to the mother that she take
Evelyn abroad to %recuperate. 1t wal
arranged that Thaw should accom-
pany the two as the open and avowet
sutton of the daughter. In 1903 hi
asked her to marry him and she re
fused.
The reason for this refusal you viii
hear from her lips" announced Mr.
Gleason. Suffice 1t to say the reason
had to do with an incident in her lif,
with reference to Stanford White"
The Insanity Plea.
Thus laying the ground for the ;te!
of insanity, Mr.. Gleason declared btall
disease had laid hold of Thaw thre
or four years ago. 1t was claimed
there have been many cases wher,
a person had been pronounced insan,
upon n subject only.
