WHY PEOPLE DOUBT.

1t is little wonder that people OF In
9elligence are prone to disbelieve much
OF the testimony that is usually ad.
auced in murder trials where the plea
Is that Of insanity.
The time is so recent that no one
has forgot It when the whole Thaw
family and many OF the most noted
specialists, so called. In the country
went on the witness stand to lend
what aid they might in proving that
Harry Thaw was insane, that there had
been streak Of insanity visible at In
servals all down through the genealo-
~ Of Thaws and for that reason, II for
no other, Harry Thaw had come by
this family defect honestly. and there
fore the asylum they insisted was the
proper place for him, and not the cleo
trio chair. The cost OF all this ran
into the hundreds Of thousands, so It
Is said, and for many weeks the trial
went on, incident after incident being
cited to prove Thaw insane. AS a re-
suit Of all this, Harry Thaw was pro
nounced insane and was accordingly
incarcerated where he could do no fur
ther harm to anyone. During that trial
Thaw sat up nights trying to look wild,
his speech was incoherent, his step
was palsied and thus he was doomed
to life of solitary confinement,
Now, the Thaw family wishes to
prove Harry not insane and nobody
will censure them for the mere de-
sire, but the method the mother Is
suing a booklet in which she charges
ssete's Attorney Jerome. who sought
10 averse the murder OF Stanford
White by establishing the guilt Of
Harry Thaw with deliberate desire
to persecute her son; that the latter Is
not insane and that any further at
tempt to detain him is legal persecu-
