Night of the Tragedy.

HE was not agitated. his conversa-
ton went on in its usual tenor, and he
did not include Smith i'm the aversion
he felt for White. Then he returned
TO his party, talked about the play, and
its lack of interest. Remember at this
period, gentlemen, the unbroken testi-
mony of all the witnesses is to the eff
feet that the demeanor of Thaw was
perfectly calm and composed, and that
he walked quietly down the aisle. When
he reached the point of exit, he saw to
his right the form of Stanford White.

turned, walked slowly and quietly to-

shots which caused his death. He then
slowly and deliberately turned to the
audience, spread out his arms in the

AIienists in the Case,
THE learned district attorney did not
in any case ask if Thaw was insane;
he asked only if ThaW was laboring I'M
der such and such a defect of reason.
As to DR.. Hamilton, you have a right
to infer that the district attorneys rea-
son for not calling Dr.. Hamilton was
because that distinguished scientist
would have testified to the reverse of
what the district attorney wanted. Six
of the experts called by the people said
Harry ThaW was not suffering from
such unsoundness of mind that he did
not know the nature and quality Of
the act and know 1t was wrong.
Against these six we placed upon the
stand nine alienists who are among the
greatest, if not the greatest. in the
world. They told you that Harry Thaw
was beyond doubt insane upon the
night of June %. Were il question of
mere dollars and cents, a question of
the ownership of property, the court
would instruct you that you must de-

evidence. Would there be any ques-
ton of a decision between six witnesses
and nine? If 1t were still a preponder-
ance of evidence that was to decide this
dread matter of life and death. the pre-
ponderance would still be with US; but
the learned justice will instruct you

1t is not primsrily question of the

Many of the Richmond women are

q certain class in Richmond that cannot

In the dark days of the OOnfederacy,
