Had Recurrent Spells.
During your entire attendance on Mr..

you reach?" asked Mr. Littleton.
II diagnosed his case as acute recurrent
insanity"
DR.. Wells said he saw Thaw in 1901
1902 and 1903 or 1904. He treated him at
these times. but there were no acute
symptoms as in 1899. On cross-exami1a-
ton by District Attorney Jerome Dr.
Wells said that at the time he treated
Thaw in 1899 he had made no particular
study Of mental diseases and had had but
little experience along that line. The
witness said Thaw remembered some of
the things that happened during his out
break and was anxious to apologi:>-es-
pecially to nurse whom he felt he had
offended
Miss Lillian MacBride Of London, a pro-
fessional nurse as she described herself,
followed DR.. Wells. She was called in to
attend Thaw as nurse in his rooms in
London in July, 1899. Thaw was very
restless and excited and his talk was in
coherent, the expression of his face was
wild, and, although he had no tempera-
ture. he continually complained of the
alcoholism. His acts and appearance i'm
pressed the witness as irrational"
More Foreign Witnesses.
The third of the foreign witnesses to be
called was DIR. Burton Browne OF London,
formerly of the India medical service, and
for time a practicing physician in Rome
DIR. Burton Browne constantly referred
to himself as medical man" rather
than doctor. 1t was in March 1902
that the witness was called TO attend
Thaw in Rome. He diagnosed the case
as one of simple or mild mania. There
was no evidence of alcoholisr$A
I District Attorney Jerome oHS cross-ex-
animation asked:
How long did Thaws mania last?''
About thirty-six hours
That's all
Next came DR.. Maurice Gauga of Paris.
who gave testimony through the official
court interpreter. He attended Thaw in
Paris in the spring of 1904. when he at
tempted suicide by swallowing laudanum.
DR.. Gauga described Thaw's condition
but said he had not diagnosed it as lau-
danum poisoning. At first he thought it
was ptomaine poisoning.
Mr.. Littleton here announced that with
the exception of the testimony OF the
foreign witnesses who had just testified

How to Make Cold Meat Loaf.

avoid warm hashes In summer
and have in their place a meat loaf
that can be served cold," writes
Christine Terhune Herrick in Wo
mans Home Companion for August.
Chop your remnants of steak OF
roast fine, mix with them one-third
as much cold boiled ham or tongue,
season we'll. and add a couple of raw
eggs beaten light. If rather dry
moisten with gravy or stock, turn in.
to a CREASED mold with plain sides
cover. set in a baking pan with hot
water about it, and bake for an hour
This loaf may also be made with raw
beef, but then 1t must cook for two
hours. Let 1t get very cold before
turning out. and slice. Veal loaf may
be prepared by this recipe, and even
cold roast laRb may be treated ir
the same manner. The main point
to be borne In mind is the seasoning
Be careful that this Is well done and
