Thaw Called Rational.
Abel l. Smith did the reading IN
rebuttal for Thaw He first read the
testimony OF former Gov. stone OF
Pennsylvania in the 1912 sanity test
Stone declared he found Thaw aDso-
lutely rational. Smith then read the
testimony of two other witnesses al
the same hearing. who said they De-
lieved Thaw to be normal and IA
tional. The Thaw counsel nnlshed
their reading in half an hour.
Deputy Atty. Gen Cook announced
the state had no sub-rebuttal 10 oIler'
Justice Hendrick then asked the law
yers how long they wanted 10 sum up
Cook said he would not require more
than 50 minutes Stanchheld said ne
wanted "a reasonable time perhaps
two hours
The court thereupOn said he would
place no time restriction on the sum-
ming up, and Cook began the closing
speech for the state at 1880.
Boys. its all over but the shouting,
Thaw said TO the reporters as COOK
began TO speak.
Cooks summing up was III chrono-
logical order. He began with ThaW S
ancestors, and led through his firth,
childhood and youth TO his entrance
at Harvard.
Cock then reviewed Thaw's child
hood his fits of temper and excite
ment, his sleeplessness and his at
tacks of St. Nitus dance. He spoke OF
Thaw's career at Harvard. saying ne
tried there to kill a Cabman, deVoung
his time TO playing poker and used a
deadly weapon in one poker tight.
He did not finish at Harvard,
Cook said. 'Thaw never in his life
completed anything but the killing Of
Stanford White. lie broke his re-
volver to reassure the crowd and then
walked over and kissed this virgin,
his wife. Dearest, / have probably
saved your life he told this virgin.
Was that insane? or was it an act
of Prudence as Thaw has said? Cen
tlemen, 1 Will say if such man as
Thaw could be an agent of Providence
l would give up religion today"
Cook then went over Thaw's two
murder trials and his pleas of insan-
ity
Twice this man hid behind the
skirts Of his virgin. had behind her
blood and the mirrors of Whites ter
rOr.''
Attacks Accused.
Cook then attacked Thaw for living
with Evelyn Nesbit two years before
he married her and after he knew OF
her debasement at Whites hands.
LAS for Stanford White" Cook
shouted ::when 1 entered this case,
believed that in the line of immortality
ranked as does the United States Steel
corporation in il lines. Now / IND
that White, as far as immortality was
concerned was only a village black
smith"
Cook took up Thaw's alleged Saad-
ism and perversiOn.
In proof Of this" Cook said, 1--WE
have the story of the Merrill woman.
AS for Susan Merrill. she is just what
she appeared on the stand. She is an
intimate assistant of Thaw. She is
as typical a specimen of the madam
as ever 1 encountered in my eXper-
fence in the practice of criminal law.
But, unfortunately for Thaw her ev-
idence is very cOnvicing."
Clifford w Hartridge. once Thaw's
lawyer. produced in White Plains the
whips with which Thaw logged little
girls.
Court recessed for n few minutes
before Stanchfeld began his summing
up.
