QUESTION IS CHANGED Mr. Delmas continued to narrate the events leading up to the Madison Square Garden tragedy and asked Dr.| Wagner to state his opinion as to the | mental condition of the man who shot Stanford White. Mr. Jerome was on his feet with| many objections. He objected first on| the ground that the question em-| bodied several matters which he de- ed were not in the evidence. He | the evidence did not show that of Thaw's uncles was insane, but ¥ s of unsound mind, and that | w did not state that she drugged, but that the wine tasted and that in two minutes at the u she became unconscious. Both f points were changed to agree with Mr. Jerome's demands. He also | objected to saying that White was at- | tempting to renew relations with Mrs. | Thaw. He sald this had not been| shown in the evidence. Mrs. Thaw had | n White only twice, and there nothing to show that White had ipted to renew relations. In re- question Delmas said that cab turned around and followed her on the second occasion [ that saw him. Mr. Jerome pro- duced the transcript of the testimony. There is nothing in the testimony to show that both cabs were not going in the same direction,” said Mr. | Jerome; “nothing to show that Mr. White was not building a house in that street at that time.” After considerable argument the question was amended to conform with testimony. “Now, doetor,” said “considering the question as ended, what is your opinion as to the man who committed the ined of knew it was right o attem forming th r. Wh b act or comp! wrong HOLDS THAW INSANE “My opinfon,” replied Dr. Wagner, with much deliberation, “is that he did not know the act was wrong.” “You base your opinion on the fact that he must have been suffering from such a defect of reason as not to know the act was wrong?” “I believe his reason was so defective he did not believe the act was wrong,” came the reply. “That is all,” said Mr. Delmas. Mr. Jerome said he would request the witness to step aside for cross-exami- nation later. 2 Mr. Delmas announced that tomorrow he would call a second alienist, Dr. Evans, to the stand. To save the time of the court he secured consent to submit Thaw's letters to Dr. Evans this evening, so he could be in a position tomorrow morning to testify | regarding them. 5 Mr. Delmas also stated that the de- fense would not take up much more | time. The statement that several weeks would be required to put in all the | evidense for the defense was not true. | Adjournment was then taken until | tomorrow. CRAZED BY THAW TRIAL | Disappearance of Girl Attributed to | Reading Reports of the Case \ GRAND JUNCTION, Colo., Feb. 11.— Constant reading of newspaper reports of the Thaw murder case in New York |is believed to hayve turned the mind of | Miss Ailleen Blake, the pretty 18-year- old daughter of Joseph A. Blake, a prominent resident of this city. Miss | Blake has mysterfously disappeared jand her distracted father is searching |everywhere for her. He Is now in | Salt Lake, where he asked the police to assist him. 1 Miss Blake had been visiting friends |in Aspen. until last Friday, the day she | mysterlously disappeared. She told Aspen friends that she intended going to Los Angeles, but for what purpose she did not say. The young woman acted in a pecullar manner and when she disappeared her friends in Aspen notified Blake. She had been reading reports of the Thaw trial daily and there seems to be little doubt that her mind was affected. | though MUST OMIT WAR A3 A PASTIME WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—The state- ment was made at the State Depart- | ment that at a conference today be-| tween Assistant Secretary Bacon and | the Mexican Embassador it had been | cided that Mexico and the United States should unite with Salvador, Costa Rica and Guatemala in making identical representations to Honduras and Nicaragua to the effect that they would be expected to settle their dif- ferences without resort to war and that the arbitration which was recently ter- minated at San Salvador must be re- convened in order that the issues be- tweéen the two countries might be peacefully settled. Minister Corea of Nicaragua had a long conference today with Assistant| Secretary of State Bacon regarding the tuation in Central America. | You may rest assured of one thing,” | said Corea. “There will be no war be- | tween Honduras and Nicgragua.

He has' received tele- graphic reports of their comments upon his doing in Washington. Qne of the California papers, it is re- ported. printed the story that Mayor times at the White House to see the President and was turned away. It was declared that before the thira visit a White House attache told Schmitz not to talk so loudly, as he was disturbing the President. Telegrams also say that it was reported in California that Mayor Schmitz and several members of the School Board began to drink heavily the moment they arrived in Washing- ton and had been ipdulging in liquor ever since. These stories greatly an- gered Schmitz, who expressed the fear that they might be believed in Cali- fornia. Representative Kahn left Washing- ton this afternoon for Boston, at which place he is to dellver an address to- morrow night before the Middlesex Club. Tt is understood that the Cali- fornia Representative will have some- thing interesting to say concerning the Japanese situation.
