l tions Dr. Mills said he did not know what man might do six months from now. but persisted that it was safe to release Thaw.
 "Is it your opinion he will act diff ferently if released?" Gray asked.
 Yes" was the reply. "He is very likely to do differently and do better if permitted to handle his own affairs and not be required to remain among insane people" Dr. Mills answered. . Dr. Mills also said he did not be- lieve Thaw would revert to certain practices, if released. which prompted Gray to ask if Thaw did not revert to such practices after Dr. Mills in previous trials had said Thaw was sane.
 "Oh, that's the same old question over again." said pr. Mills.
 Gray. pointing out that eminent physicians had committed Thaw to the asylum, Dr. Mills said that he diff fered with them.
 He is Sane
 Finally Dr. Mills was turned over to Mir. Patterson for redirect ex- animation, and wound up his testi- mony by exclaiming dramatically: He is sane"
 Thaw's lawyer then began to pre- sent corroboratiye evidence that Thaw is mentally sound. The next wit ness was the Rev. D. s. Kennedy, a presbyterian clergyman of Wayne. Pa., who said he had known the Thaw family for twenty years, and during the last three of four years, had visit cd Thaw in Kirkbridge's. as the hos times. He found no evidence of men, tai unsoundness, he said,
 The Rev. J. Ogle Warfield. rector of St. David's Episcopal church, Phil adelphia. another witness said he played cards with Thaw at the hospi- tai and believed him to be sane.
 During this time. Thaw and his former wife sat about ten feet apart. Once Thaw leaned his chin in the palm of his hand in which he held a handkerchief and gazed at her as though in reyerie. She caught the gaze and turned her head. !
 Miss Nesbit occasionally glanced at Thaw but gave no indication she wanted to see him. She was enga ged in constant conversation with her law yers.
 -Four other witnesses who met Thaw at kirkbride's were examined in rapid l succession. They were all of the same i opinion, that Thaw was normal.
 One of the witnesses caused a ripple | of laughter when he said "We talked ! about baseball, politics and General Butler"
 John J. Ragley, former chauffeur in the Thaw family. said he drove ! rhaw from Pittsburgh to the hospital here and found nothing wrong with aim.
 'I introduced him to my family in said Ragley. "Why I vent to thcater with him two nights traight running" he added.
 When court took a recess, there vas a stretching Of necks to sec Thaw and Miss Nesbit would noet, but their lawyers led them out # the room by separate doors. Miss Sesbit returned to Atlantic City.

SAYS THAW
 OUCH ITO BE FREED
(Continued from First Page)

Also of Thaw's comments on womer who visited the asylum and others he saw passing the grounds. The question also included hospital records tha when Thaw played cards he would abuse and scold his best friend in g most severe manner: also that Frank Connolly. an attendant found Thaw ir his room with rabbit on each shoulder. while undressed, and again found him talking emphatically and vigorously to the pets.
 Yes. considered all that in reach ing my opinion," answered Dr. Mills
 Did you apply the test of giving Ihaw word and having him tell you what the word suggested to nim?" Mir. Dickson asked.
 "1es, I did, replied the physician, the same as did at the habeas corpus proceedings in 1912.
 Hit Rabbit With Stick
 After a series of other questions in which Dr. Mills maintained his opin- ion that Thaw is sane, Mir. Dickson read additional records from the hos pital. One entry read: Jan. 1. 191S- fhaw continues to fondle the rab- bits. Yesterdaylhe was observed 10 chase little black bunny against which he seems to hold some feeling. He took stick, hit the rabbit, and stunned it, and picked the rabbit up and asked it what it was saying"
 Another read: April 25, 191S- Thaw is more demonstrative with the rabbits. He holds them 10 his ears and whispers to them. He strikes at them yiclously. He chases and curses them about the grounds"
 Mir. Dickson then asked, Did you have these matters in consideration when you gave your opinion about Thaw's sanity?"
 "Yes, I had heard about the rab- hits,"' was the reply, but I ask why the physician in charge of the hospital would allow those rabbits to be with him if Thaw was unlSnd to them or if it was bad for the rabbits 10 be with him."
 Dr. Mills was then turned over to William A. Gray, counsel for Russell ba W. AlN sph VI IsNNls ANtS- bit, for further cross-eIamination.
 Under Mir. Gray's cross-examination Dr. Mills testified that he had ex- smined Thaw twenty tp twenty-five times fin this city, Matteawan and New Hampshire.
 MT. Gray propounded long hypo- thctical question in which he enum- eratcd all the charges in the Gump ease and Thaw's attempt at suicide in Philadelphia, to which Dr. Mills re- piled that these details did not nec- cssarily affect his opinion. Once John NJ. Patterson. counsel Tor Thaw objected to Grsy's method If questioning as 'tncrely throwing stnft in the jury boz

Buying car is an investment

when man buys car, he is in

THE car is only the visible means
