81 was acquitted, / think, because
the counsel OF both sides told that
was suffering from a delusion at the
time" said Thaw on the stand. When
he took the stand the court room was
crowded. Thaw's action betrayed ner-
vousness.
Questioned by jerome.
Attorney Morschauser for Thaw
waived direct examination. being un-
willing to have District Attorney Je-
rome examine the client After he
was tired OF questioning. Jerome
opened the examination by asking:
"Why are you here?"
ITS a habaes corpus proceedings
looking toward my release from Mat
taewan." was the reply.
why were you committed?'
Because at the end OF the second
trial was acquitted, but the judges
issued a commitment"

men?"

act which you felt called upon as gen.
tleman to perform, consent to subor-

cape consequences of an act"
by no means
Jerome then led up to the subject OF
the testimony of doorman Lythe to the
mobs to the effect that Thaw, while
prisoner. imagined he heard voices
of little girls in the station.
Thaw emphatically denied ii.
When Thaw said the Lynch story
was all rot Jerome asked why he al
lowed it to go on the records.
He replied that he spoke to Attorney
Littleton, his counsel at the time, and
said Littleton thought White had It
confused and 1t should go in the evil
dence as long as the opposition used
the testimony of Abe Hummel. This
resulted in the discussion of the al
legged blackmailing scheme of Hummel
which Thaw denounced.
Thaw denied that his wife threat
ened to sue him for a divorce because
OF his flogging girls.
Jerome Continues Questions.
Jerome mentioned the fact that
Thaw had interrupted DR.. Hamiton's
examination of him, and asked the
witness why he did so.
Thaw said it was because he dislik-
ed the doctor. When asked for a rea-
son he said: "Oh. | can't tell YOU
just why. He was like the rhym 4
don't like Dr! Fell, the reason why
cannot telP."
The spectators laughed so loudly
that the court was compelled to re-
store order and Jerome asked: Were
you GRAZ when you shot an unarmed
man with his back towards your"
This aroused Thaw, who replied: 81
was legally crazy"
Jerome asked if he was willing to
have his wife on the stand and wave
her privilege and testify whether she
threatened to sue for a divorce.
"She will wave no privileges" said
Thaw.
A long argument followed Jerome's
attempt to introduce in the evidence
the lewd letter which Thaw Is alleged
tc have written to his wife. Justice
Mills ruled that while he could not
admit the question or the letter while
Thaw was on the stand the letter
would be admissible If the writing
was identified by person other than
the wife.
Thaw then held a brief whispered
coference with the Judge, and left the
stand while Peter Oney member of
the first lunacy commission, identi-
fled the records of that body.
