Who Are Said TO be on Their Way
Here.
ATTENDED THAw ABROAD
Mrs. VIM. Thaw Must Finish Her
Testimony Alienists to Follow
Witnesses Who Will be Depended
Upon to Show Thaw's Actions.

NEW YoR, Jan. 22-Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw, having been excused
from the witness stand in the trial of
her husband, Harry X. Thaw for the
killing OF Stanford White, little Of
sensational interest remains in the
trial. Doctors and nurses who at
tended Thaw at various times when
he was i'll in Europe, are said to be
on the way to America and may ar
rive any moment. Mrs. William Thaw,
the accuseds mother, who must fin
ish her testimony, and Miss Belle
Moorehouse Lawrence Of California
who was Thaw's teacher at the time
he was six years old and who is said
to have kept a diary inl which she
recorded the boys peculiatities, prob
ably will be among today's witnesses.
The testimony of the alienists who
will follow these witnesses on the
stand, will be depended upon to show
that Thaw's actions at the time of
the shooting were irrational. 1t is
said that the defense hopes to COM
plete its case by Friday night or the
witnesses from London and Paris
may testify briefly on attending Thaw
in those cities. Another doctor is ex-
pected to testify regarding an out
break of Thaw on train and that
will end it all save the expert testi-
mony. Today the codicil Of Thaw's
will was placed in evidence but the
will itself was temporarily ruled out
because Of an insufiiciency Of evidence
showing its custody since 1905. Lit
tleton said he would supply this tes-
timony tomorrow or Friday.
NEW YORK, Jan, 22.-The end Of
the Thaw trial is approaching, This
was indicated today when DR.. Charles
G. Wagner, 6rst Of the alienists to
be called for the defense, took the
stand for his preliminary examina-
ton. Anthony Comstock, vice-presi-
dent of the Society for the Suppress
sion of Vice, had been heard earlier
in the day and Mrs, William Thaw
had completed her testimony, The
kindergarten teacher who had charge
OF Harry as lad Of 6 years also test
fled and the day marked long stride

to get out Of the harness and spend
his few remaining years in peace.
On the other hand, there are
those who declare that although he
has his resignation in mind, it IS
not to take place at the early date

he wishes to remain at the head of

is finished and that he will then re-

Upon investigation it was found
that the report was true, and at first
it was supposed that death would re-

cause of her rash act was because

that would place her under the pale

found to have been committed, and
Mrs. Kiley's actions yesterday con-

as the officials got to work they were
convinced that Mrs. Kiley was the
perpetrator Of them, In the mean

not to be owing to the fact that Mrs.
