THAW CASE MAY GO
TO JURY TOMORROW
.Stanchfeld Questions Dr.. Flint
on Constitutional Inferiority

New York, July 13.-Dr. Austin
Flint the first of the states alienists
to testify in the sanity trial Of Harry
+. Thaw, was still under cross exami-
lration by Thaw's counsel today
When court adjourned yesterday he
was being questioned as to his reasons
tor his belief that Thaw is now insane.
It was expected that several hours
would be devoted today to this line Of
inquiry and to discussion of the form
CT paranoia from which he said Thaw
is suffering
The state had one or more other
alienists ready to testify before the
evidence In rebuttal should begin.
Counsel for both sides hoped that the
case would be in tho hands of the
jury by tomorrow. Meantime Thaw
spends most Of his time while in court
selecting the route of the automobile
trip he hopes to take to the Panama
Pacific exposition If set free.
StanchfieId Questions Flint.
John B. stanchfie1d. cnier counsel
for Thaw closely questioned DR.. Flint
today, apparently with the idea of
showing, If possible, that he was mis-
taken yesterday when he declared
that constitutional inferiority with a
paroniac trend which he described
Thaw as having, was a designation by
the medical profession within the past
two years. Reports OF the hospital, of
which Dr. Flint is member of the
board, showed that the institution
recognized the term as early as 1908
and that further constitutional in
feriority was a distinct form Of in
sanity The report, which was read
to the jury stated that eighteen out of
every twenty-one patients suffering
from constitutional inferiorlty re-
covered.
Tried to Hypnotic Doctor.
Why he thought Thaw paranoac
was outlined at considerable length
by DR.. Flint in his cross exam nation.
Thaw's family history, his boyhood.
his alleged illusions, his will, his
general appearance and his belief
that William T. Jerome and DR..
Flint were in a conspiracy to keep
him in Mattaawan, all were factors,
the witness said which influenced
his opinion. While under cross-ex-
animation, DIR. Flint suddenly as
serted: "Thaw has stared at me for
Is minutes and l think he did it for
the purpose of hypnotizing me"
Justice Hendricks looked at the
witness for few moments and then
asked if he really thought Thaw was
trying to hypnotic him.
II certainly do. "Dr Flint replied
emphatically.
Thaw leaning over the railing and
whispering to newspaper men dis
claimed intent to hypnotic the wit
ness.
