During the trip here from Mercer,
where they left late In the afternoon

attorney. Mrs. Boyle tried TO cheer
Jimmy" and wanted TO know II he
would be permitted TO smoke at the

to be colder here than in Mercer. but
Mercer will slep quieter tonight
sleepy old Mercer-since we are out

Take No Appeal.

Boyle is concerned at least, that nc
appeal will be asked for Al first she
contemplated taking an appeal to the
superior court in the hope of securing
her freedom on another trial. But II
was discovered that even should she
be liberated she would be returned tc
Ohio for trial and that while her max
imum sentence there on one charge
would be but 90 years there was an
other on which she might receive five
years additional and she would be al
lowed no time off for good behavior
When this was compared with the fiji
teen years she would have to serve
here after making allowance for goot

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. July 2s.-Alien-
lists today began their slow march across
the stage in the Thaw case. The efforts
Of stanford whites slayer to obtain his
release from the Matteawan asylum for
criminal insane are eliminating in the
testimony Of the experts called to prove
him sane, and when they are through the
prisoner will take the stand himself.
His attorney. Charles Morschauser. said
today that he might put Thaw on tomor-
row afternoon. but he may not reach the
stand until Wednesday.
In two respects today the hearing was
a reminder of the two homicide trials
which Thaw underwent. District Attorney
Jerome Of New York, at the request OF
the attorney generals office, appeared in
court and took entire charge Of the states
case.
Jerome and ThRw Friendly.
Mr.. Jerome and Thaw sat so close to-
gether that their chairs touched, but II
the prisoner had any fear Of the man
who prosecuted him his face did not show
1t. All but one Of the witnesses were
Thaw's today and his e~quanimity was I'M
disturbed. At times he and the New
York district attorney chatted and smiled
like old friends reunited
The other familiar feature of the hear
ing was Or. Brltton d. Evans OF the New
Jersey State Insane Asylum at Morris
Plains, famous for his Introduction at the
trials of the term brain storm" DR..
Evans was on the stand at adjournment
and probably will continue his testimony
tomorrow morning. Or. Evans testified
that Thaw has not now and never has
had the particular kind of insanity known
as "paranoia," which the state and county
authorities contend still afflicts him.
The oldest practicing physician in White
Plains and one OF the youngest also testi-
fled. Both said that Thaw was mentally
sound. DR.. Henry Ernst Schmidt, aged 50,
qualified as an a~llenist, while the younger
man, DR.. William ]. Meyer, testified in
his capacity Of White Plains jail physician,
which gave him numerous opportunities
of seeing and talking with the prisoner.
Evelyn Nesblt Thaw did not come to
White Plains today. Mr.. Jerome said that
she was still under subpoena and might be
called for cross examination after Thaw
t%estifies. DR.. Evans said today that dur
ing a recent talk with Thaw in the Jail
here the prisoner declared that his wife's
assertion on the stand week before last
that Thaw had threatened to kill her was
false.
Thaw is expected to repeat this on the
stand, and the state may call his wife 10
make the charge once more.
