 New York, Jan. 17.-Dstrict Attor. ney Jeromes carefully laid plan to ex- clude the story of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw when she is called to the stand at the der of Stanford White has been com pletely upset A similar question came up when Benjamin Roman, for mer stage dOorkeeper at the Madison Square theater, was called to tell of Whites threat to kill Thaw.
 Justice Bowling ruled that the door, man might testify to what he told Thaw about the occurrence.
 In the same manner the testimony of Evelyn Thaw will be got before the jury. She will testify to her friend ship for Stanford White as part of the story told by her to Thaw before their marriage and while they were both in Paris. Under the ruling of , Justice Bowling Mr. Jerome will be unable to prevent the admission of this evidence.
 Tells of Whites Threat to Kill.
 Roman testified to Whites threat as he stood in front of the stage door of 1 the Madison Square theater on Christ mas eve, 1903, fiourishing a revolver | after Evelyn Nesbit and Harry Thaw had gone away together in an automo- 1 bile. White had asked for Evelyn, and Roman told him she had gone home. You're liarr' White shouted The architect rushed past Roman back to Evelyn Nesbit's dressing room and searched wildly for her there and on the stage. Finding the dressing room empty. White returned and d.. manded to know where the girl had gone. Roman told him that Thaw had called for her White pulled revol- yer out of his pocket, fiourished it and shouted:
 ''ill kill that - - before day break"'
 Mother Feared He Was Crazy.
 Roman was preceded on the witness stand by Abram R. Beck, principal of f the Beck School For Boys at Allen ! town, Pa. where Thaw was a pupil for d short time from September, 1881, l to April, 1882. Mir. Beck testified that , Thaw had seizures, during which he { uttered loud, passionate, animal-like 1 howls. He wept without shedding tears. His eyes were cast down and rolled. He was breeding and sullen. Mir. Beck identified a letter written to him by Thaw's mother after it had been deemed necessary to send the boy away from school.
 In this letter Mrs. Thaw said of her son:
 Il did not think him capable of such behavior and regret to fear it may not all be badness and rebellion, but that his mind is more or less unbalanced. Do you think there is any danger of that? Deal gently with him if possl- ble for my sake as well as his own. How would it do to avoid noticing him in any way for the day? I really do not know what 10 suggest He is so different from the other four children and ought to have been more closely reared and trained" 1,
 Lunacy Commission Possible.
 Owing to the absence of lay wit nesses for the defense. whose testi- mony Mir. Littleton wishes to present before calling insanity experts, an ad- journment was granted by Justice Bowling. That District Attorney .Ie- rome will ask for a commission in lu- macy to examine Thaw is the firm be- lief of close observers. It is quite ap- parent that the overwhelming flood of testimony the defense has adduced to show that Thaw was insane from childhood and insane when he shot White has had a deep effect upon the district attorney.
