EXPERT SAYS THAW OUGH TTO BE FREED (Continued from First Page) Also of Thaw's comments on women who visited thé asylum and others he saw passing the grounds. The question ' also included hospital records that when Thaw playéd cards he would abuse and scold his best friend in a most severe manner; also that Frank ; Connolly, an attendant found Thaw in his room with a rabbit on each shoulder, while undressed, and again ! found him talking emphatically and ‘vigorously to the pets. “Yes, 1 considered all that in reach- ing my opinion,” answered Dr. Mills. “Did you apply the test of giving Thaw a word and having him tell you what the ward suggested to him 2" Mr. Dickson asked. “Yes, T did,’ replied the physician, “the same as I'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, Mr. Dickson read additional records from the hos- pital. One entry read: “Jan,'1, 1918— Thaw continues to fondle the rab- bits, Yesterday he was observed to chase a littie [black bunny against which he seems to hold séme feeling. e took a stick, hit the rabbit, and stunned it, and picked the rabbit up and asked it what it was saying.” Another read: *“April 1918 Thaw is more demonstrative with the rabbits. He holds them to his ears and whispers to them, He strikes at them viclously. He chases and curses them about the grounds.” Mr. Dickson then asked, “Did you have thesé inatters in consideration when you gave your opinion about Thaw's sanity? “Yes, T had heard about the rab- bits,’ was the reply, “but I ask why the physician in charge of tne hospital would allow those rabbits to be with him if Thaw was unkind to them or if it was bad for the rabbits to be with him Dr. Mills was then turned over to William A, Gray, counsel for Russell Willlam Thaw, the son of Evelyn Nes- bit, for further eross-ctamination, Under Mr, Gray's cross-examination Dr, Mills testified that he had ex- amined Thaw twenty tp twenty-five | times in this city, Matteawan and New iampshire, Mr. Gray propounded a long hypo- thetical question in which he enum- ted all the eharges in the Gump ase and Thaw's attemnt at suicide in Philadelphia, to which Dr, Mills re- plied that these detalls did not mec- ssarily affect his epinion, | Onece John M, Pafterson, counsel or Thaw objeeted te Gray's method r questioning as ‘‘nerely throwing wuff in the jury bon” In reply to a long series of ques- ‘of St. David's F Dr. Mills said he did not know what a man might do six months from now, but persisted that it was safe to release Thaw. “Is it your opinion he will act dif- 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 afl‘fl(rs' and not be required to remain among | insane people,” Dr. Mills answered. Dr. Nills also said he did not be- lieve Thaw would revert to eertain 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 sane, “Oh, that's the same old question over again,” said Dr. Mills, Gray, pointing out that physicians had committed Thaw to the asylum, Dr. Mills said that he dif- fered with them. He is Sane Finally Dr. Mills was turncd over to Mr., Patterson for re-direct ex- amination, and wound up his testi- mony by exclaiming dramatically: “He is sane.” Thaw's lawyer then began tq pre- sent corrohorative evidence that Thaw is mentally sound. The next wit- ness was the Rev. D. 8. 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 yvars, had visit- ed Thaw in Kirkbridge's, as the hos- pital is locally known, about twenty times, He found no evidence of men- tal unsoundness, he said, The Rev. J. Ogle W iscopal church, Phil adelpbia, another witness said played cards with Thaw at the hospi- tal and believed him to be sane, During this time, Thaw former wife sat about ten feet apa Once Thaw leancd his chin in palm of his hand in which he held a handkerchief and gazed at though in reverie, She caught the gaze and turned her head. Miss Nesbit occasionally glanced at Thaw but gave no indication wanted to see him, She was engaged in constant conversation with her law- yers, 1our other witnesses who met Thaw at Kirkbride's were examined in rapid succession, They were all of the same opinion, that Thaw was normal. One of the witnesses caused a ripple of laughter when he said “We talked about baseball, polities and General Butler.” John J. in the Thaw family, said he drove Thaw from Pittsburgh to the hospital here and found nothing wrong with him, “I introduced him to my Pittsburgh” said Rag went to a theater with him tw straight running” he added, When court took a recess, was a stretehing of necks whether Thaw and Miss Neshit would meet, but their vers led them out of the room by separate doors, Nesbit returned to Atlamtic City, family in “Why 1 Tificial HartfordStock Exchange Quotations FURNISHE LU BANKS AND Clty Bank and Trust Co.

A comment was made that South Main | street is a “disgrace to the city.” Elm street, Myrtle street, Hartford avenue | and other strets were discussed and | the policy of patching macadam | strets instead of laying concrete pave-" {ments was criticised. One man com- | mented that it was a poor way for the | city to save taxes, | Miss Mary E. Curtin, sccretary, was instructed to write to the board of public works asking to hawve South fain and Whiting streets repaired. The condition of railroad crossings with particular attention to Main street, Elm street and Stanley street | i was discussed and a similar letter was ordered sent to the superintendent of !tnis division of the New Haven rail road asking to have them repaired. It was reported that railroad cross- ings and the roadway on railroad property at the freight station would have been fixed before this but the leavy washouts of April 6 made it |necesasry to temporarily remove men jand material to other places. Another important item was the her as proposal to change the leaving time of the train for Hartford scheduled to leave here at 6:08 p, m.—A peti- tion was signed by 50 employes of the Staniey Works and other factory workers in the city who are said to be desirous of having this train delaye for workers living in Hartford t make connections, Efforts will he made to delay the train here from 5 to 7 minutes longer, The express committe will meet | with officials of the American Lil- way Express company at the-express office within a few days and discuss additional accomodations here, SENATE - DRIVE ON " JAPAN CONTINUING 0 (Continued from First Page) op McKim dedlared, however, that all talk of war between America and Japan is “absurd, “The work of the American Cross in Japan has done me lay suspicion and create harmonious relations between the two nations than all the peace conferences that Lave been held,” sald Bishop MeKim. “I think the end we are all seeking {to arrive at might have been served, however, by giving Japan the same limmigration quota as the other na- 8 0f the W That would result I unde d it, in about entering the country each year, Personally, 1 think the action of the senate §s discrimination ageinst is unfortunate, Japan n material res very favor- State Indeed in Japan than Red to al- with the [nited o is less flliterac in the United States,” Bishop McKim sald he knows Am bassador Haninara, Me would not comment on the letter from the am- Lassador protesting against Japancse exclugion legislation, | Bishop McKim was in the “states” two years ago and today said he plan- ned to resign in two years and return to this country. ably the » AT CRASH of 22 Glen street and of Hartford were ar ted this afternoon on charges of reckless driving by Patrolman Joseph Kennedy and Herbert Lyon as the f sult of a colligion of automobiles driven by the men at the corner of Park and Stanley streets.
