It U mostly Hearsay, Uut If could Kt the faota before you they would shook and horrify the con Science ct the oourt and Instantly this case would be stopped., 60 deeply have I been impressed with this that I have erred notice upon the coun sel ef record that If when this trial ,. U oonoluded I find that they were In ' possession of facts which I believe to v ba in their possession, ,1 shall call the matter to the . attention of the a . pellate division of the Supreme Court . I feel very bitterly about this mat ter. There la not a man who has watched this -defendant sitting here - at this talkie that does not know that as ha sits there he Is Incapable of ad' " vistnf counsel. Thus, under., the "mtes, It beoetnas the duty of the ymt atop the' proceedings" '" APPEAL TO CONSCIENCE: Mr. Dehnas sought t have Mr, Je rome place himself on - record as 1 vfermally Aphlylns for a lunacy com- mission, but ' the ' district attorneyi would enJJr repeat that ho was direct - lng the attention of the court to a " matter which ; might appeal , to his conscience. Mr. ,, Jereme said . : that ' Drs. ' Blngaman and Deemar, two of the Thaw physicians, had told him facte concerning : epilepsy on ', both sides of the prisoner's family, but the ,. defense had failed to erlng out these matters In the testimony, "I submitted to the alienists sum monel by the State all the facte in my possession," urged , Mr. Jerome, "and they one and all Informed me . that the defendant, is suffering from a disease ca)ed ' paranoia, the chief characteristic of which are Insane de lusions; that acting under these In- .sane delusions he killed Stanford White, but that within, the legal defi nition of insanity he knew the n- , ture and quality of his act and knew the act to be wrong." . Justice Fltsgerald wanted to know ' if the alienist! had Informed the dis trict attorney of their opinions before 1 answering the. long hypothetical ques tion In court. Mr. Jerome admitted that they had. The evidence he sub mitted to them had not been adduced In court, however, and he. could not put it in Ihfl hypothetical question. -AFTER ALL OP EVIDENCE. "Now that they have put Dr. Ham- N ilton on the stand," explained Mr. Jerome, "I have my first opportunity o. laying before the court sworn tes timony, in a matter of a character which may demand the attention of ' the court For the first time we have the real evidence before us, and I want it all to go In. Your honor will support me in the claim that ever since this trial began I have struggled to have the doors opened wide that all the faots might be brought out. , But I have been met with objections and legal restrictions everywhere." Mr. Delmas replied that It was strange If the district attorney had so long possessed the Information ho was statins to the court that he had per sisted so long In prosecuting to his death a man who he believed was In sane In the eyes of the law because he could not communicate Intelli gently with counsel. As to the charge ' of unprofessional conduct he had heard It for the first time to-day; Mr. Delmas continued. He further said that the defense had called to the stand Dr. Hamilton, the man whom the district attorney believed to know more about the case than anybody else, and was proceeding to Interro gate him when the district attorney objected. i Here Mr. Gleason Interposed him self In the discussion. He rejected the district attorney's assertion that Thaw was unable to ad visa his coun sel and declared It was the duty of the court to submit that question to the jury. "The court will determine its duty (or Itself," replied Justice Fitzgerald. THAW NOT CAPABLE. Mr. Gleason next demanded before the proceedings went further that Dr. Hamilton be Interrogated as to wheth er or not he thought Thaw capable of advising his counsel. Justice Fitz gerald allowed the question and the witness replied that he did not think Thaw was capable of advising his counsel at the present time. The doc tor said further that he had so re ported to counsel In the case. Justice Fltsgerald demanded that counsel on both sides submit to him to-morrow all the evidence they pos sessed touching upon the sanity or Insanity of the defendant If the de fense did . not desire, to do this, he eaid, heeould not compel It and would have to proceed without such evi dence from them to combat that to be offered by the district attorney. Justice Fitzgerald further said that If professional privilege was pleaded In bar of any testimony Dr. Hamilton had to offer It would be construed as meaning that the defense did not de sire that testimony to go Into the record. Justice Fitzgerald even went so far - as to discuss the personnel of a pos sible commission In lunacy. He said he did not wish to appoint any alien ists wno had been consulted in tne caje by either side and desired to be given the names 6T every doctor so consulted. It was agreed that botn sides should submit affdavlts to-morrow. DEFENSE COUNSEL PLEASED. When the trial adjourned Messrs. Hartrldge and O'Reilley, of Thaw's counsel professed the greatest pleas ure over j.he turn of affairs. "The district attorney has acknowl edged himself beaten." said Mr. Hart rldge. "We can combat the lunacy commission. " In the meantime the district attorney has acknowledged that he believes Thaw was insane wheil he shot Stanford White. That ought to give us an acquittal." District attorney Jerome was mani fest pleased with the Idea of a com mission: He- Immediately set to work preparing affidavit He will be abie to place before Justice Fitzgerald to morrow all the testimony he has been unable to get before the jury. Mr. Delmas declined to make any , definite statement He merely said that It hid been agreed "that when the case reached the stage which de veloped to-day, Mr. Oleason should take charge." He said of course he would still be connected with the case. i , William Thaw and Evelyn Ch left the court house together, after they had had s brief chat with tha prisoner, and told him that vic tory was In sight It will be recalled that he elder Mrs. Thaw was anxious to tell about the Influences of heredi ty In the Thow family when she was n the stand, but was cut . short -y counsel. When Thaw reached his call In the .

He is not respon sible for the action of the State Legis latures In their attitude toward the railroads and regrets action of this kind. The President Is willing to meet the railroads half way."

They entered the home, of Mr. Alfrjd Anderson, a ma chinist, at the corner of Eleventh street and the railroad, and . found the still, a ten gallon a day capacity affair, with 20 gallons of fermenting beer and two gallons of yeast, in a three-gallon yeast Jug. To make things worse, -the United States officers put the blooming still, dripping with liquor, on a wagon and drove It through Independence Square, wh.re John McKnltti Alex ander and the other good squirrel hunters ripped and tore and charged and swore that they would be free and independent in spite of the devil and high water, so that all might see and wonder.

"Money couldn't buy It," said Mr. Albright. No ohe will ever know for certain what the professor wanted with the still, but It Is generally believed that he was going to give It to Mr. R. O. Alexander, so that he might mount and crow over It every morning Just before he starts up town. . This was to be In part pay for what Mr. R.
