PROCESS SERVERS FIND
EVELYN NESb|T THAW
Will Testify Against Her Husband
in Sanity Pro-
ceedings.

MALONE, N. Y, June 30.-The states
process servers have found Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw. She has been served with
subpoena at her summer camp at
Lake Chateaugay and will testify
agains. her husband, Harry K. Thaw,
in the jury proceedings to determine
his mental condition, now being held
in New York city.
Mrs. Thaw, it is understood. prob
ably will testify next week.
Witnesses Cross-Examined.
NEW YORK, June 3o.-When the
hearing before Supreme Court Justice
Hendricks in the trial to determine
the sanity of Harry K. Thaw was re-
sumed today the state took up the
cross-examination of the last of the
Thaw witnesses.
DR.. Charles X. Mills Of the University
Of Pennsylvania, one of the Thaw
alienists. was on the stand when court
adjourned yesterday afternoon. Dr.
Mills declared that Thaw was not in
sane. He testified that he had reached
his conclusion regarding Thaw after
seeing the prisoner on more than TWEEN
ty occasions and making a thorough
physical and mental examination.
Becker submitted Dr. Mills today to
a rigid technical examination on the
manifestations Of paranoia. The wit
ness refused to modify his opinion that
various acts in Thaw's life which the
state alleges were symptomatic of par
anoia were those of a sane man.
