JUSTICE INDICATES FATIGUE. Justice Fltsgerald indicated his fa tigue at the three-days' cross-examination of the exDert when Mr Je- . rome began to question Dr. Evans about his knowledge of other in stances of adolescent insanity which had resulted in acts of homicide. The alienist said there was a woman in his hospital for the insane at Mor ris Plains, N. J who in the midst of a brain storm, or mental explosion, had killed two of her children. "How- long has she been In the asylum?" askel Mr. Jerome sharp ly. une year. "T aha rurpd V It has been but eight months since Harry Thaw shot Stanford white.

Jerome argued the point, and ;- cited e. part of the record in the , Preusser case at Albany, where the r presiding Judge had allowed one ex v pert to give an opinion of another. i "Now, you will direct the witness . to answer T suggested Mr. Jerome in t qulrtngly of the Justice. , "I will not," responded Justice Fltsgerald. He added that he would not jruU' finally on the point until he : had. read the entire record of the Preueser trial. As Mr. Jerome said the rule would cover the last ques tions of his examination the adjourn ment until Monday was ordered. Dr Evan will again be upon the stand. Dr. Evans declared to-day that Thaw showed a degree of adolescent Insanity when he wrote the letters In in 3 after Evelyn Nesblt had told him of her alleged wrong at the hands of Stanford White. - The delusions apparent In the letters were more concentrated In the will and codicil executed April 4, 1 905, and when tak en by themselves Indicated a paranoic form of the Insanity of adolescence. On June 25, l0fl, when Thaw shot and killed Stanford White, Dr. Evans said the defendant was suffering from and explosive outburst of adolescent Insanity. Mr. Jerome endeavored to Induce the witness to admit that a person In sane from 1903 to 190(1 suffered from ft thronlc form of mental disorder, but Dr. Evans insisted that the evl- dence merely showed acute outbursts and not a chronic state. Now that Evelyn Nesblt Thaw is no longer upon the stand and the centre of all interest, the prisoner is attract ing more and more attention.

It Will Do The Same For You Several years ago I was a great sufferer from muscular rheumatism, and my doctor advised me to go on Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy. I only took a few bottles when I was en tirely cured. I then commenced to use It In my family for general use and we depended on It for breaking up colds, nouralgla and most of the troubles one's family la subject to. Four years ago. Just three months before the birth of one of my chil dren, I was lakes, down with measles, which weakened me greatly. My stcmach would not retain a thing and I was in a serious condition. With the consent of my physician. I again started on Mrs. joe Person's Reme dy. I commenced to build up st once, and I believe It carried me safely through my trouble. I believe I would have died had I not taken It. I do not think there Is a medicine Its equal when a tonic Is needed to build up the system. MRS. W. F. PUCKETT. Huntersvllle, N. C, R. F.
