In this connection the governor re ferred to the light in various counties In regard to prohibition, there being a tendency on the part of ho house and also tho senate, not only thto session, but It has always been ' so, to - pay special, iate'rition to the Wishes of ths representative from the section that a certain bill, will affect and not effect Other sections of the state, such as connty or city measures. The governor was heard by a very large audience, and in the crowd was quite a number of legislators. The re marks of the governor were highly complimented. It was such a talk as to do young men good, and also placed before the parents their duty In mak ing their sons what they should be.

SUDDEN DEATH OF BILLf FOR THE SEPARATION OF - RACES IN STREET-CAEld THAW ON NIGHT OF THE TRAGEDY Dr. Evans on Defendant's Mental Condition QUESTIONS BY JEROME The Doctor Still Holds Firmly to His lielief That Thaw Was of I'nsound Mind at the Tune hen He Shot White on the Roof Gar den. (By the Associated Press.) New York, March 4. When court op ened this morninif for the resumption of the trial of Harry Thaw, District Attorney Jerome at once continued his cross examination of Dr. J-jvans, tin; alienist. Ho said: "Doctor, reverting to the nii;ht of the shooting of White, docs the fact that the defendant walked deliberately away without excitement after shooting ap pear to you to be an important fact in determining whether or not the de fendant was insane. ' "Yes, it leads mu to believe he was of unsound' mind: that is when tuken in connection with other incidents." The fact at that time Thaw's step was slow and measured and his man ner somewhat dramatic, and,, he mani fested no agitation; iliat he walked de liberately away without any effort to. escape, taken, in connection with other facts. Indicated to the witness that Thaw didn't know he had done a.ny- thing waiigr "4idn't know that be done anything that would make him shrink from his fellow men or from officers of the law. . "Then his attitude was one of satis faction with hla deed?" "I would hardly go as far as that. "When he walked toward his wif: did he know in what direction ne was feoing?" ! 'In view of fact that he walked to ward his wife, it seems to me he did." "The fact," said Jerome, "that Thaw told the fireman, who seized him, 'He ruined my wife." does not indicate to you that this defendant knew he had killed White?" "It indicates to me," replied Kvans, "that this one thought which had weighed down upon him, which had been devouring his soul was still with him, this idea of Ins wife bring ruined by White was still in the forefront of his thought." "When mental condition in thedefen dant is conveyed to your mind by his stating on the roof garden ufter his arrest when told at the elevator that an officer had Ikcii sent for: 'I ve tot to go down some time, you might just us well take me down the eltvatnr now. I don't want to cause any annoyance.' . "As to whether le; was sane or in sane," replied Kvans. "the remark con veys nothing. It may simply have meant that thoie was a crowd at'the elevator and he did not want to annjjy anybody by obsliuftuig the way. ' In the moments immediately follow ing the shooting of White, the witness said, Thaw might have had insane ap preciation of all the Incidents. There was, said Kvans. nothing in the evi dence to show Thaw knew he had been arrested for killing White, and the only thing tending to show he did know it was his statement that it was an act of providence. "When on the elevator did he know what he had done? ' "There had been bv that time re organization of his mental forces and by then he knew that he had done something." "Therefore if there had been brain storm he had recovered in this short time sufficiently to know what he had done?" Characteristics of liraln Storm. "That is one of the characteristics of brain storm: but I can't say whether or not he knew at that time what ho bad done. ' The witness believed that in brain storm the defendant had an insane knowledge of what he did, not the knowledge of a sound mind. Dr.' Evans, in explaining his answer, de clared that if Thaw had been walking in delirium following fever he would unconsciously have been directed in tho way he took, for his mind was so saturated with the one idea of his wife's ruin. Evans also said be thought Thaw realized that he was under arrest when ho BBked that his wife be taken -to a hotel and that George Carnegie his brotboin-in-law,, be sent for. The "witness "declared that the fact that the defendant did not ask why he was under arrest (Continued on Page 4.) 'last edition.
