On Wednesday June 22, fifty wit |
nesses were summoned in behalf of
Harry K. Thaw in his fourth at
tempt to obtain freedom from the
asylum at Matteawan.. The selection
of the jury occupied the entire SEES
sion of the court. This, however,
was done more quickly than in pre-
vious times whenhis juries havel been
selected. " "y't% +
Thursday. with John B. Stanch-
field his attorney the testimony
began. =" 81. e.:
Thirteen witnesses including four
jurors at his former trials, two
chaplains, physician and a keeper
at the Tombs, where he had at times
taken up his abode; a lawyer who
hrd met Thaw in New Hampshire,
two newspaper men with whom he
had had many interviews during the
past strenuous years; a juror in
civil proceedings instituted by one
of Thaw's former lawyers against
his mother and Thaw himself de-
clared that there existed no
symptoms of delusion. His compos-
ure on the witness stand was mar
Vicious and he told the story of his
escape from the asylum; how he left
because he believed himself to be
perfectly we'll balanced and besides
that while there they told him he
was sane. He also told of his sub
sequent travels through some of the
New England states, and Canada.
Deputy Acknowledgement Cook
in his address to the jury stated that
the whole history of the Thaw case
would be dragged to light again
during this trial in the attempt OF
the State to prove that he is q
morally perverted, incurable para
noiac.
1t is said that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
will appear If requested to do so.
