PREPARATION Of the case. with which Mr..
Hartridge had nothing to do, DR.. Flint
said Dr. Flint said that he thought the
progress Of paranoia was very marked
during the last six years in Thaw's case.

on insanity that Moses. 81. Paul and the
Savious were paranoiacs? asked MI

amined those persons. and ! think the

Or. Flint.
Mr. Jerome called DR.. Baker at the after
noon session. The witness said that ne had
had Thaw under his observation for ABOUT
three years at Matteawan He had con-
sidered Thaw as suffering from "cons'itu-
tional inferiority" and feeble mindedness
from the first. he said. but had not been
able TO diagnose clearly the form or IN
sanity he had until he had seen and studied
the exhibits I'm the case just prior 10
the hearing on the writ before Justice
Morschauser. in Poughkeepsle. which was
about three months after Thaw had been
committed TO Matteawan. He had then
made up his mind that Thaw was dan

from paranoia the witness said.
Under cross-examination by Mr. Shearn
DR.. Baker denied that Thaw had been mis-
treated at Matteawan while the witness
was there Any privileges that Thaw had
asked for and been refused had been
purely on account of proper discipline, and
no exceptions were made In Thaw's case.
he said Thaw had taken very antago-
nistic attitude toward the Matteawan au-
thorities, and 1t had been difficult To get
him to obey the rules Of the institution
the witness said.
Mr. Shearn wanted TO know why DR..
Baker had gone to District Attorney
Jerome to get him TO appear In the ThaW
case. instead OF 10 the Attorney General
when the first Thaw writ was sued out In
Poughkeepsie. DR.. Baker said he consid-
cred Mr. Jerome wes the only public Of
fetal at that time who was familiar with
the case. The witness could not recall that
special counsel had been employed by the
state in any case Of habeas corpus pro-
ceedings except Thaws.

Or. Flint on Thaw's Condition.

Asked to describe some of Thaws present

under cross-examination yesterday, said:
