COMP ARES
HIMSELF TO GEN.
D. {. S|CKLES
Says Shooting of White Was
Similar to Killing of Key
LIKE CONDITION OF MIND
Slayer Of New York Architect Was a
Witness Yesterday in His
Own Behalf

White Plains, n. Y, June 25.-
Harry X. Thaw, who on this day six
years ago, killed Stanford White, was
called to the stand this morning by
ex-District Attorney Jerome to under
so a mental examination. On the
outcome OF this depends to a great
extent whether or not Thaw viii be
released from the Matteawan Asylum
for the Criminal Insane, TO which he
was committed following his acquit-
tai OF the murder OF White on the
ground OF insanity
Thaw was called as witness for
the state, and 1t was soon apparent
that his attitude was to be very
different one from that he assumed
at asimilar hearing before Judge Mills
three years ago. On the former oc-
casion he answered quickly and al
length all the questions asked him by
Mr.. Jerome. Today he was suilen
and very reticent.
When Thaw was not himself try.
ing TO eyade giving the answers de-
sired by Mr.. Jerome, Clarence j.
Shearn, his leading counsel, was gen
orally on his feet objecting to the
questions. As natter OF fact, Mr..
Shearn was on his feet practically
every minute Of the four and half
hours that Thay was on the stand.
Today Thaw gave new explana,
ton and said that on that night OF
June 20, six years ago, ms mental
condition was the same as that OF the
venerable Gen. Daniel t. Sickles, the
highest ranking OF living Union sold
iers, when Gen. Sickles, on the night
OF February q, 1859, shot and killed
Philip Barton Key. then the district
attorney OF the District OF Columbia

er relations with him Gen. Sickle.
had waited three days to kill his mar
after he learned OF the matter.
What is your idea of the menta
condition you were in the night VOL
shot Stanford White?' was the ques
ton asked by Mr. Jerome tina
brought out the Sickles analogy.
There was something that happen
ed about sixty years ago" rhaw an
swered IN voice so low that il wa
hardly audible, and my mental con
diuon on the night you refer to wa
the same as that OF Gen. Sickle
when he shot Key"
We'll, then, put it this way" Nh
jerome said. Did Sickles wait fv
years before he killed Key?"
What do you mean?" Thaw saic
half in anger looking at jerome
| Since 1901 or early In 1902 yo
knew, did you not, the nature OF IN
relations that had existed betwee
Evelyn Nesbit and STANFORD White
She told you, did she not the Who'll
story in Paris in l9OS?'
Yes"
Well, then, what similarity do vo
md between your case and that !
Gen. Sickles?'
The same, Thaw answered afte
pause.
Next, Mr.. Jerome started to rs
a question in the couse of which h
made reference to the fact that toda
was the sixth anniversary OF the XIII
ing OF White. lie never finished m
question, for Shean was on his fee

He made it clear that the work

newspapers today" the colonel re-
marked, said that | returned from
Chicago greatly aged, with lines OF
care on my face BY George, isn't
that funny?' He threw back his
head and laughed.
Colonel Roosevelt was greatly
pleased at the news from Baltimore,
He showed how closely he was keep

by receiving the vote by which VIII

short time before in his contest with
Alton b Parker over the temporary

Colonel Roosevelt said that appar
emily the issue among the Democrats
was fundamentally the same as thai
in the Republican convention. Should
serious difficulties develop, it is his
belief that the new party will prof
by it, in the way of receiving supper
from disaffected Democrats. VIII
