He said Thaw, in his opinion, was never of unseund mind.

 The witness said that none of Thaw's acts or writings evidence para noia or even constitutional inferiority. The codlcil to Thaw's will, which three alienists swore indicated paranoia. Dr. Meyer said, showed no abnormality. It is believed the case will close this week as the state has already rested, and Clarence J.
