Thaw -Holds-Up Trial _While— He Exercises. i After fencing for two days with Dr. Evans, the New Nerey alienist, Districts ‘Attomey < Jerome secured “this afternoon an admission from the awitness that may serve as an opening wedge to the anticipated inquiry to Harry Thaw’s sanity. Dr. Evans under‘a‘fire of questions said_that ‘he believes Harry Thaw was suffering from adolescent insanity on ‘the {night of June 25, 1906, when he-shot Stanford ‘White. -This admission appeared to —please—District-Atiomey Jerome —and-+ | Assistant District- Attorney Garvan. They hold that. adolescent insanity is progressive and that if Thaw was insane on June 25, ees be is-insane vat the present time: Dr. Evans qualified his statement with the information that adoles- cent insanity is a passing inflictlon; that he has had patients who suffered from it at night and betrayed no trace of it the next morning. But the dl District-Attorney and-his atienists rubbed their hands and nodded to each | other as though Dr. Evans's opinion of the menial condition of Ha: (Thaw was in line with their own theories. ~ DDREEVANS’S STRANGE STORY. Dr, Evans told a remarkable story this afternoon of. an’ alleged ef- fort of somebody to get at his private papers: The doctor says he is stopping at the Belmont, in-a suite adjoining | ~-that-of-Dr.-Wagner,-who-is-also-a-specialist-for the-defense.—Last night _while at dinner with Dr, and Mrs. Wagner the chambermaid on the tloor’| h the suites of the two doctors are situated says she found-a_man ! i of the outer door to the suites, She asked him what he wanted; and he said’ he had been commissioned to get some _papers belonging | to Dr. Evans, but as the doctor had probably gone for a walk he was! 2 —mnich-disappointed:He-asked -the-maid-to-allow-him_te-cnter-the-reoms,+ and as he knew the papers he wanted he would not disturb anything else. “The chambermaid,” says the doctor,-“told: the man that he would | ¢: ~haveto apply. to the clerk at-the-desk- (or: such-permission;-and-he-went away,” “When the chambermaid told me about it,” concluded the doctor, ~ found, 1am positive some one wanted my papers for use in this Thaw —murder-trial,-and-he-wasnot connected wilh the defense.” WHY THAW HELD UP THE COURT.’ Just.as the afternoon session of the trial began an amazing story spread through the court, Thaw in’the morning session asked, through his counsel, for a five-minute recess, He‘ left the trial chamber by per- mission of Justice Fitzgerald and hurried direct to the ante-room at the Tear; and.there, in-the presence of his warders, solemnly went through a five-minute stunt of physical exercise. He raised and lowered his arms, bent-his body from the waist and expanded his chest after the formula Jald down by theshealth experts, all without a word, Then he solemnly ‘walked back to his chair without a word of explanation to anybody. ‘Whiten a keeper brought ihe news of. this to District-Atiorney Jerome the prosecutor grinned significantly and made a few notes for future ‘teference,” MOTHER OF THAW HAD A SHOCK. There-will-be-a-startlng Teature in the testimony of-Mrs, William Gi Thaw when She is called to testify for her son on Monday" or Tuesday, out-of -whichthe~ District-Attorney~is convinced that he will draw further conclusive proof that the murderer of Stanford White Is an in- curable madman, = It was learned t yionaire-wilt testify that about fourteen months before his birth she awoke eae found a ead child beside her in the bed.
