THAw,S STATEMENT.
White Plains. N. 8, Aug. 1O.--Reas-.
sorting his sanity, Harry Il. ,rhaW to-
day published a statement reviewing
the evidence given In the recent hear
ing on his applicat ton for release from
Matteawall. In his argument to sus-l
tain his contention that he is sane,
.Thaw said that, according to the al ien-
lists, Dist. Atty Jerome has proved him
to be sane, "45 times over, in his long
Questioning. Sgs
Thawis statement lows: D.
The following Is all have to say
about the trial: 4.
Mr. Jerome's witnesses We're an UNI
professional lawyer and an unfortunate
woman who contradicted each other,
also three of his peculiar alienists,
and DR.. Baker, who from his testimony
might have been on either side, except
that he showed some friendliness to US
and could not remember many admis-
sions he had made to me and to DR..
Pilgrim.
DIR. Eaker admitted he did not be-.
{lieves in souls because he had never
seen any. DR.. Macdonald and Dr.tF,lint
refused to believe what jerome had
solennly stated to a jary, so ! hardly
think any judge could believe any of
them. slSti y
If ''The best experts have informed me
that If any insane man was a STONED
for 20 minutes as Jerome questioned
me, he would assuredly show his In
sanity. AS II erome6 5keptSSthl up over
10 hours In all during the trial, he
proved me sane As times over.
A Mr.. Jerome at the end Of the second
trial after telling the jury why he had
not produced DR.. Flint and company,
said he would submit the case to
human intelligence.
ut seems II must be perfectly sane,
If hard heade d. sensible men who slept
in the same room with me, saw me
3undress and go to sleep and wake up,
then eat my breakfast, dinner and
supper and who took me up on the
mountains where I could have left
them miles behind hadS&I not been
trustworthy. These and many clergy
men headed by President Patton of
Princeton. and ladies', some Of whom
have known me all my life. and bank
ers and manufacturers, and police and
prison keepers accustomed to obsery-
ing sane and insane ben; also city
clerks. editors. farmers, lawyers and
the ex-governor. of q great state-all
find me perfectly sane and none find
anything irrational at all.
This seems tome to prove my san
ity.1O times better than whether or
no j could handle Mr.. jerome in a
fourteen and a half hours debate on
every possible subject except the all
legged deluson which he did not seem
to want explained, Maybe explains
tons would have spoiled his lhypothe-
teal question.
