 anty'' asked Mr. Dslmas
 Yes" replied Dr. Wagner. in my opinion he was at that time Insane. ! When visited him on August 21 he 1 told me that Drs Austin Flint, Carlos Mac Donald and William Mabon had visited him and had asked rernis- sion to examine him but he had re- thrce. physicians mentioned arc the alienists employed by the state in this case
 MT. Thaw said pr. Daniel had also called, but he had refused to let l him conduct an examination. although he was sent by his own attorneys. He | said the lawyers and doctors were in coiiusion with the district attorneys office to run him into au asylum and prevent his coming to trial. Thaw ai- ways referred to Stanfard White by an epithet such the blackguard' ar the dead man and never by his right name"
 Dr.. Wagner then repeated practical | iy the same story of the interview as | was related by pr. Evans. He said | that Thaw referred to Stanford I whites 'dens of vice" and said the l reast' had 'three ways of ruining young girls-seduction. drugs and physical violence" No Thought of Murder. pr. wagner said he asked Thaw why he had killed Stanford White.
 "TIe saidr continued the witness, that he had no thought of killing | White that night on the roor garden; that he had striven only to get evil dence against the man so as to send him to the penitentiary." | pr. Wagner repeated Dr. Evans statements as to his visit Of September Is when Thaw dismissed his attorneys and physicians.
 Did Thaw ascribe to himself any par ticular function in dealing with the subject that was on his mind?
 eYes, He said 1t was his province to look after the welfare of young girls i and lead them along moral lines"
 Did he mention the names of any young womAn?'
 "Yes. sir"
 The witness was not asked to give these names.
 Dr. Wagner repeated pr. Evans's l conclusion that Thaw's Idea that he was acting as an agent of Providence in Killing Stanford White was an in- sane delusion.
 Before Dr. wgner was excused. Mir. Delmas said:
 eve now come to the matter ee the will of the defendant"
 Justice Fitzgerald said he would like l to have a copy of the will to read be- I | it's adils.ssability. Mir. Delmas suggesr- ed that only parts 1f the will were es- | sential to the purpose ot the defence. "I would like tn keep out of the re- cord all that is not material" said Jus tice Fitzgerald.
 | ..So would we." assented Mir. Deimas
 of the will is offered" District At- torney Jerome here interposed, it will all have to go in. There are elements | as to handwriting, etc., which must be considered by the jury" l This statement of Mir. Jerome was taken to indicate that he witI no lon- | ger oppose .he admission Of the will | as evidence.
 1 At this point the luncheon recess un- | til ? o'clock was ordered | Immediately after recess. Dr. Evans was again called to the stand. temp0r. arily replacing Dr. Wagner.
 Thaw Will Introduced.
 The alienist was shown Thaw's will and examined 1t in silence for some time.
 After pr, Evans had flnished reading | asked:
 Doctor, are the names mentioned in 1 this codicil the same as those you nave testified MT. Thaw gave you as vic- tims of Stanford Whites practices9'' MT. Jerom. objected to this question 
 to get into evidence the contents of paper for the introduction of which there had been no foundation laid.
 T object to this idle, scandaIous talk" began Mir. Jerome. but he was interrupted by Mir. Delmas, who ob- jected and took exception to the state ment. and asked that 1t be noted that the exception was due to the miscon- duct of the District Attorney.
 "I am not talking to the jury" said MT. Jerome; "l am talking to the court. We have twelve intelligent men here, and they are not going to decide this case on tthe talk of counsel"
 T object" repeated MT. Delmas. "to the learned District Attorney referring Ing scandal"
 "Whether they are true or not. this will contains statements of scandal" again asserted Mir. Jerome.
 T object" replied MT. Delmas. in a firm tone.
 T think we had better get back to the question:" suggested Justice Fitz- gerald in a conciliatory tone. T un- derstand the question open to objec- tion on the ground that 1t is an at- tempt to get something indirectly into the record"
 II am laying foundation for the ultimate purpose of offering this will
 
 Trying to Shield Names.
 My object now is to identify those names without making them public. If the District Attorney insists. I will have Dr. Evans state the names, but 1t Is not my disposition to do so."
 T see a way out of all this" said MT. Jerome in a voice which displayed irritability.
 Let them ask this witness if Thaw was crazy when he made the will and then let them put the will in. if the court shall hold 1t to be cumulative evidence and, therefore, admissible"
 T intended following that course,' said Mir. Delmas.
 pr. Evans was excused and Dr. Graeme M. Hammond. another Of the defendants alienists. was called. Be- fore Dr. Hammond was sworn. how ever, Mir. Delmas changed his mind and had Dr. Evans once more recalled.
 Dr. Evans was shown the Thaw will and asked If he had ever seen it be- fore. He said he had not, but he had seen what purported to be a copy of it
 MT. Delmas asked MT Jerome to concede that the copy made in the District Attorneys office was correct
 "I don't concede anything," said, MT. Jerome. Tt is an outrage, I say, to bring this man here after seven months Of preparation of this case and fritter away the time of the court in reading documents"
 Tt is your privilege, not to concede anything, not eHen common courtesy" was MT. Delmas, aeply.
 T am exer, mt. my privilege" Mr JAf
