KILLING OF WHITE JUSTIFIED
SAYS VERDICT or JURY PROOF
ARCHITECT WHITE DEsERv.
ED FATE.

White Plains, N. Y, July 2S.-After-
kissing his aged mother, Harry X
Thaw today took the stand in his own
behalf and underwent a most search
ing cross-examination by District At
torney Jerome. with the utmost com
posure, answering hail of questions
concerning his motive. his sensations
and actions before and after the kill
ing Of White and the events Of his
entire life with the greatest frank
bness and clearness He created 9
most favorable impression while on
the stand.
Il believe in acquitting me the
jury was large influenced by the be-
lief that White deserved his fate,1 he
said: 81 believe gentleman should
, defend his honor. but he is not justi-
fled in comnlitling perjury to escape
j the consequences"
i Whites influences.
Thaw then stated that he thought
lit possible that White exercised a
hypnotic influence over Evelyn Thaw.
or at least had a strong influence over
her. He characterized the testimony
introduced in the trial regarding his
hallucination of girls while locked up
in his cell as rubbish saying he
tried to prevent such Testimony being
introduced When asked if his wife
reproached him for lashing women
with jeweled whip, as Mrs. Merrill
testified he had done, and threatened
to get a divorce, Thaw answered
no. but said he refused to allow his
wife to be called to testify against
him.
Did you ever write letter to your
wife, containing immoral drawings?"
asked Mr.. Jerome. This was objected
to and the ruling reserved. Thaw
then said:
Always Sane Medically.
Il have always been sane medically,
although I think l may have been
legally insane for few minutes when
killed White. DR.. Evans was misled
when he said / cuffered delusions,
because he was told by Jerome that
everything I said was untrue
He explained his frequent changes
of counsel by saying that his lawyers
were influenced by the fact that they
thought the charges he made against
White were untrue. When asked if
he was expelled from Harvard for
studying an immoral subject, he said
for an illegal, perhaps. but not inn
moral subject"
