"MAN|C-DEPRESSIVE" IS
What Ais HARRY IHAW
English A|enist at Last Enllghtens Wondering World
1t Is a Come and Go Disease. Defense Has
Closed Its Case Jerome Was Easy

New York, Jan. 27-The Thaw de.
tense closed it's case today with
"Manic-depressive" insanity as an ex-
PLANTATION of the death of Stanford
White at the hands of the young Pitts
burg millionaire. Tomorrow the pro-
secution will begin it's evidence in.
rebuttal, and the case should go to the
jury by Wednesday night or THURSDAY
noon.
District Attorney Jerome disappoi It.
ed the crowded court room when be
refrained from his tactics of last year
in batting the expert witnesses for de-
Evans and Joliffe, declared that Thaw
at the time he killed Stanford White,
was suffering from such defect of
reason as not to know the nature or
quality of his act or that the act was
| wrong.
The prosecutor contented himself
with drawing from the alienists the
fact that last year they swore it was
/ during "brain storm" that Thaw com.
mitted the fomocide. He also read
from the affidavit made by DR.. Wag-
ner before the lunacy commission last
year giving conversations held with
Thaw in court which tended to show
that the defendant had distinct rec
objection of occurrences on the gar
den Immediately preceding the ira.
| gedy.
! 1t was left to Justice Bowling to
make the most important inquiry OF
the alienists. He desired to know the
exact nature of manic-depressiye IN
sanity and if attacks were likely to
recur. He also asked if a person suf
fering from this form of insanity
would be likely to commit assaults
He learned that it was recurrent
form of mental disorder, attacks COM
ing suddenly and without warning, a
period of insanity being followed by
mental outburst, then by a period of
complete depression and then by an
other lucid interval.
1t seemed that the presiding Judge
was securing information upon which
to predicate judicial action in the
event of a verdict of not guilty on
the ground of insanity or straight
acquittal. Even in this latter event,
it was pointed out, that Justice Dowl-
ing would have the right to have
Thaw committed for examination.
The English physician, one of the
three men of medicine who testified
first, gave the name of manic-depres-
sive or sub-acute mania to Thaw's
mental conditions. DR.. Sydney Rus
sci Wells of London, made diagnosis
during the outbreak by Thaw in Lon
don in 1899 when with a normal tenn
perature Thaw demanded that the
walls of his room in the nursing home
be torn down so that he might have
air and that twenty tons of ice be
put in the apartment to cool it.

newspaper men today William j.
Bryan said:
s'You may say that my coming to
Washington was not to consult any
men or set of men as to whether I
ought to be a candidate for nomina-
ton. l have not put that question to
any man nor shall I. People, not
individuals, have the sole right to
decide that point. I am not here to
solicit support for myself as pos
sible presidential candidate. never
solicit individual support. 1 never
ask any man to vote for me. In the
past when I was before the people
as candidate my efforts to obtain
votes have been confined to state
ments of my views
Asked about the story published in
some quarters that former United
States Senator Jones, Oliver H. P.
Belmont and others had told him
he was not wanted as candidate for
the democratic nomination, urged
him not to run, and promised to OPP
pose him if their advice should be
disregarded, Mr.. Bryan said:
There is not shred of truth in
that story. No one has advised me
not to be candidate. I saw Sen
ator Jones and we. talked politics,
but nothing of such a reported oc-
currence."
Mr.. Bryan, before leaving the capt.
tai, dictated, in response to a re-
quest, the following interview set
ting forth his views on the financial
situation: Z
Lack Of public confidence is what
drives money out of circulation. Res
tore public confidence and money
returns to it's accustomed channels.
For the lack of confidence the best
remedy is insurance of bank depos-
dts. I have urged upon various
states and congress the passage of
some measure similar to the law
adopted by Oklahoma. This provides
for the creation of guaranty fund
by assessments on banks in proper
ton to their deposits, and author
ICES the banking board to make such
assessments from time to time as
may be necessary to restore the
guaranty fund when it is lowered
by the payment of money to deposit
tors of failed banks. y
''This permits the resources of all
banks to be resources of each bank,
and insures each depositor against
loss. Che Oklahoma statute permits
\ national banks to take advantage OF
the state law and a national law
should permit state banks to come
under the provisions of that law in
states which have no guaranty sys-
tenn.
AS to an elastic currency, l think
provision could be made for sufficient
elasticity in times of emergency by a
law providing for the issue Of United
States notes, such notes to be loaned
by the government to banks upon
adequate security and at rate OF
interest that would compel retire
ment of the notes when the emer-
gency is over. suppose nearly all
the members of congress and the
senators favor some provision for
emergency currency. The democrats
as a rule favor a system under which
the government will issue and con
troll the value of emergency curren.
cy, while most republicans favor
some system under which it would be
issued and controlled by the banks
