Jerome Abandons Efforts.
There la little expression In his fare
ns he links at tha papers piled before
him. occasionally glancing at the men
nearest him.
The prosecution has abandoned all
efforts to send Thaw to the death chair
for the killing of Stanford White, and
the district attorney may stop the trial
at any moment and ask for the ap
pointment of a lunacy commission to
pass on tha sanity of Thaw now with a
view of committing him to the state
asylum for the Insane at Matteawan.
All the questions put to Dr. Britton
Evans, the alienist for the defense, to
day. when the examination of the many
letters written by Thaw waa continued,
pointed clearly to the fact that the dis
trict attorney Is striving harder than
the defense to prove that Thaw waa In-
sane before and at tha time he shot
White.
Is Seeking AM Proof.
Rut he Is going farther and trying to
prove that the alleged Insanity of Thaw
wan a permanent form and Incurable,
to thus lay the foundation for the
charge that Thaw la Insane and ahould
. committed to an asylum.
The district attorney himself has
brought out enough evidence of the
disturbed mental condition of Thaw
uml ahov. hi. Prior »° ,h * roof ** r,,,n tragedy lo save
anti aDote her h|m f rom conviction of murder, hut ns
yet he has failed to get the testimony
for which he has been striving—that
Thaw Is a paranoiac and therefore In
curably Insane.
In the long, wearisome and nilnule
cross-examination of Dr. Evana and the
dissection of tha letteru and writings of
Thaw with a view to analysing his
mental condition at the time of the
writing, the district attorney haa ob
tained no more than these previous
statements from Dr. Evans:
"His writings show an Impoverished
state of mind at that time."
"To my mind his letters show a slate
of mental unsoundness and Insanity; a
mental unsoundaess, not a permanent
Insanity."
May Uts Thaw's Nate.
It Is believed the district attorney
may use the statement Issued by Thaw
to the puhllc regarding his wife's tes
timony in nn effort to show that Thaw
Is msntally unsound now. The lawyers
for the defense, however, aaaert they
have no fear of any sensitive person
construing that note written by Thaw
as evidence of Insanity. They hold that
It shows quite to the contrary.
There was much comment today over
the fact that the name of Mrs. Astor
had gons on rseord In the Thaw trial.
The name sturlled every person In the
court room when it was brought out
Inadvertently.
Mentioned Mrs. Aatar’a Name.
Throughout,the trial the lawyers
have studiously refrained from men.
turning the names of persons prominent
In society when they occurred In vari
ous letters written by Thaw. The
mischief occurred when Jerome handed
to Dr. Evans a letter written by Thaw
In Paris Ip 19«4. and asked the.wit-
ness whether the letter snowed any
signs of mental aberration In the
writer.
Dr. Evans looked at the letter for a
moment and then. In a mailer of fact
way. began to read:
"Mrs. Astor was here nnd warns to

rut biuuts were here last week—"

ask you to mad tha litter out loud.
I only wanted your opinion."
But the name was out and a stir had
gone through the .court room, and the
society woman's name went on the rec.
ord.
Proceedings were commenced today
by the following announcement by Dla.
trlct Attorney Jerome:
“If your honor please, there arrived
here today from Pittsburg tha addi
tional letters which Banker Lyon was
asked tn send. With consent of coun
sel, I ask that the letters be turned
over to liie that 1 may have typewrit
ten copies made."
The letters were handed to Jerome
by Thaw's counsst and marked for
Identification.
There were twenty-one letters, all In
Thaw's handwriting. Dr. Evans was
then called to the aland and question
ed by Jerome, who asked If the alienist
had read the hypothetical question,
propounded the day before, with great
care and deliberation.
I read It aa best I could," said Ev
ans.
Jerome tried to And out from tlis
doctor If It was his opinion that Thaw
waa Insane iri the time he wrote cer
tain letters, file exhibit’s being named
Evans said he thought Thaw waa In a
stale of mental Instability, but not
necessarily Insane. ,
About this time Thaw, who appeared
pale and excited, was permitted to
leave the court room, l-awyer Hart-
rldge stating that his client was 111.
When Thaw returned, the trial was re
sumed.
Dr. Evans was questioned regarding
the letter which Thaw wrote to An
thony t'otnatock, other letters, the will
and codicil. He said that In some of
the letters Thaw's thoughts ran along
smoothly, while In others there appear-
el signs of delualonal unsoundness. Ha
said lie could not consider all the let
ters because of this varied mental stale.
Thaw laughed heartily at the per-
slslence of both the district attortiey
and Dr. Evans, the one trying to elicit,
the other In trying to evade, that
Thaw had been Insane at the time of
the wilting of the letters tn question.
Jerome, by dint of much questioning,
brought out the fact that Dr. Evans
considered Thaw Insane when he wroie
the letter to Lawyer Longfellow In 1*01.
and also at the tlm* of his marriage.
April 6. 19115. and the night he killed
Hlanford White. June 25, 1806.
"I am Itrmly convlced that at the time
of the killing of White. Thaw suffered
from an explosive outbreak of adolos-
cent Insanity," Dr. Evans declared.
Afternoon Soaaion.
Afier recess It was learned that dur
ing the five minutes which Thaw had
been away from the court room In the
forenoon session he had gone through
a series of calisthenics In the ante
room.
As soon as he reached tilts room and
the court room door whs dosed Thaw
began pulsing and lowering his anna
and bending Ills b.sly backward and
forth.
At the eml of live minutes, without a
ord to his astonished keepers, lie
gravely walked hack tWthe court room
and resumed Ills seat.
Evans resumed the- stand after
recess.

"1 became like a crazy man." said he.
"1 could think of nothing else, and w»

When cross-examined, he said ha.
tired two shots at Bywaters as he got
through the window. It was too lark

He said he did ont know how many

fendant. He was examined by R. Wal

answered the questions without hesi
tancy, and In a clear, firm voice, hla

his altitude throughout the trial.
"Will you tell the Jury." said Attor
ney Moore, "whet the attitude of your

His corn-lulling testimony related to
the shooting of Hywaters, Ihe witness
stating that the (Irst shot was fired by
himself as Bywalers attempted to es

tained that his succeeding shots were
only fired because he was • convinced
that Bywalers was deserting his sis
