his counsel. confused Thaw on the
stand yesterday and he wished to go
over them that he might explain them

District Attorney Jerome announced
yesterday he would incorporate these
papers in which Thaw Is likened to ST.

tion TO be put to the states alienists.
The experts are expected to say that
the Red Dragon" and st. George,
constituted delusion which proved
Thaw to be an incurable paranoiac.
Undeterred by the frightful heat,
the courtroom was packed again today
when proceedings were resumed.
Thaw took the stand as soon as
court convened and Jerome returned
to the line OF attack he followed yes
terday afternoon.
What do you mean by legally in

Thaw, slowly.

Jerome.
Thaw could not explain, and he ad-
mitted his inability. Jerome kept az.

had gained. Morschauser rushed to
his clients assistance and asked to

another question:

Thaw.

Il never kept q room there" said
Thaw.

asked Jerome.

Thaw denied the story OF Mrs. Mer.
