Problem Facing Defense, Jo Prove Thaw Sane Now; Insan When the Defense Have Proven Thaw Insane at i-uithe Time of Murder, They Must Prove Him Sane Now, Serious Difference Among the Counsel for the De fense Blows Over. Pro ceedings o 1 To-day 'Given in Full. New York City, February 18.—A'se rious difference among the lawyers , engaged in the defense of Harry Thaw was patched up last evening. For a time it looked as if Delmas •wouM withdraw from the case, but it now appears he will go on. There is little fear among the attor neys that Juror Bolton will cause a mistrial. Problem of Defence. The problem of the defense will by no means be finished with the proof that Thaw was insane when he fired the shot, that killed White. Then will come the task of proving that he is now sane and now that the i object of his vengeance is wreaked, j hiß brain has recovered its ordinary ; ciflar ~ J Dr. Evar.s or. The Stand. The trial of Thaw was resumed. Ju ror Bolton, the death of whose wife, caused va postponement, declared he felt able to go ahead. At the opening of the court all six at torneys, who have represented Thaw werp gt his counsel table, consulting U£ usual. Dr. Evans was called as the first witness. .avis:. Evans' Testimony. Delmas resumed the position of trading counsel, directing the ex amination. After a few preliminary questions Dr. Evans related the inci dents of his first visit to Thaw in the Tombs. Jerome .contended the witness should produce the notes taken at the time of his. visit, but the court overruled ike objection. . The witness said he took a letter Oi introduction to Thaw from Hart ridge and was conducted to the cell. Ifo'said Thaw gave him his hand and looked at him a staring and twitching of the eyes, "with a nervousness such as we seldom see, and in an fgitated manner he asked me to have a seat beside him." He said Thaw told him he had net wanted to kill White but had Bought to bring him to trial and to jtfßttee and would rather have thus humiliated him, "but this was the act of Providence." He testified the prisoner said. He said Thaw told him White had hired the Monk Eastman gang to kick him to death. White Pictured a Villain. • i Dr. Evans said when he first met Thaw his eyes suggested insanity. "I asked how he was, saying, I had been sent by Mr. Hartridge to talk over. He said it was all right-* if *1 came from Hartridge and m response to my question, as to how he-felt, he said. 'Oh, I'm all right." 'v "Then' Thaw continued: 'Delafield, the lawyer, and the firm of Black, 01- cott, Gnlber and Boyne, are in a con spiracy with Jerome so" as to close this matter up and railroad me off to an asylum. They want to have me de clared insane. It is all rot. There's i&ftillhg*to it. " 'They don't want me to come to trial .'Wfclere I may be vindicated and where I can tell the court and the Jury all there is in this matter,' " Dr. Evans continued: "he then told me of Stanford White, and at great length spoke of the alleged wrongs the man had done to innocent and pure girls." The witness added: ''He (Thaw) declared that White hnf 'drugged, poisoned and ruined a great number of young women who had not fceehHncilned to crime." Describing the next visit, Dr. Evans said Thaw came in with a large box in hjs aj?ns, filled with papers, ner vous and agitated, looking at the wit ness, and Dr. Wagner with a peculiar stare/ The witness said he proceeded to tell same story of persecutions he related on his first visit. Continuing, Dr. Evans said: ' "Thaw referred constantly to 'this man, this creature, this dead man, beast,, blackguard" and said the man had sought to take the virtue of every pure minded woman who came within the tenhtere of his observation. , 44 'I tried to save them,' Mr. Thaw sftM tcfus, and added, 'I did all in my power.

Declared Thaw Insane. Dr. Evans said Thaw told him he had gone to see Anthony c °™ st ? c *» Jerome and a private det^ ti J® agency. He said Jerome told him be better Jet the matter drop; that there was nothing in it. As too Comstock he said Thaw said, he discovered that Delancy Nicoll was acting as a legal adviser for White and Comstock and he regarded this another link in a conspiracy against him. • Evans testified that Thaw told him he had been advised to carry a pis tol after he had told that on several occasions thugs had jostled him in an attempt to get him into a quarrel. Telling of the third visit., when he was accompanied by Dr. Wagner he said Thaw displayed a highly explo sive mental makaup in he, with out adequate cause, dismissed his counsel and physicians, and that he displayed a defective reason in putting aside professional men whom he had been assured v ere there through no unfriendliness. He said Thaw's declaration that it was an act of providence led him to i believe it was an insane delusion. Dr. Wagner was recalled and said as a re sult of his visits to Thaw Aug. 21 and September 19, in his opinion , Thaw 'at that time was insane.. He said: J ' When I visited him on Aug. 21 he ! told me that Doctors Austin F. Lint, ! Carlos Macdcnald and William Maben ! had visited him and asked permission i to examine him but he had refused to allow them to do so." These are alienists emplqyed by the State. The witness said Thaw "told him the lawyers and doctors were in collusion with the district attorney's office to run him* into an asylum Thaw always referred to White by an epithet such as 'beast,' or 'blackguard,' or 'dead man' and never by his right name." ! The witness said Wagner said he asked Thaw why he killed White. He said, continued the witness, "he had no thought of killing White that night jcn the roof garden; that he had striv- Icn only to get'evidence against the man so as to send him to the peniten i tiary. « He said Thaw protested that he was ,sane, which he said was the common declaration of insane persons. The witness said Thaw said it was his special province to lok after the welfare of young girls and lead them along a moral linfi. AS TO' INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
