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 <o with them, hut hsit to resign. Hev- rut biuuts were here last week—" $1 "Hold on." shorted Jrrhme. 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. t) Have you .examined the tesll- ...ony of Dr. Deemar'.’ A. 1 have. Q.

The Jury waa axcuaad while the admissibility of the hypothetical queatlons was argued. Counsel for both aides squared off for a long and stubborn encounter. In hla statement to the jury late yesterday afternoon. Philip Strother, who la said to have fired the first shot, declared he tired to kill when Bywatem attempted to escape.

He said he did ont know how many shots hi* brother Philip fired, though he remembered that he continued to lire afier he, the witness, had run down Hie stairs Intending to'TKtfcd Bywalers -ff Philip Strother Testifies. The defense yesterday afternoon called Philip Strother, the younger de fendant. He was examined by R. Wal ter Moore, for the defense. The witness answered the questions without hesi tancy, and In a clear, firm voice, hla composure being Che same as ha* been his altitude throughout the trial. "Will you tell the Jury." said Attor ney Moore, "whet the attitude of your self and brothers was after the wed- d, "We were peaceful and prepared to be on peaceful terms with Bywaters.

Immediately fol lowing the wedding, became restless and Insisted on leaving Btrotberwood for Culpeper. "Did you try to prevent Ills going? asked Attorney Moore. "t did." said the witness; "l thought It Ills duty to stay with her." 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 cape down the rear stairway. He main tained that his succeeding shots were only fired because he was • convinced that Bywalers was deserting his sis ter, whose condition, he added, prompt ed iilirt to shoot. Fired by Sound.
