V r-s I-. 7 r: C4 " "" r He Objects to Giving the' Name of One of White' Victims M She is Now u Honored Wife and Thaw Would Not lrag Her Kame in the Miro. . " ' - "s(By Leased Wire to The Times.) New Tork, March 80. When the lun- . ay commission trial Was resumed this afternoon Harry K, ,'Tha w took tho stand again,- and the session .was - i secret one. i r a , - pr. Allen McLane JiSmllton follow ed Tbaw. and the session was then made a public on. - - , As unshaken by the vigorous cross examination this afternoon by Mr. Jerome as he had been during his direct examination, Harry K. Thaw came triumphantly through " his or-deal-of three and a half hours bo fore the lunacy commission today. Ha won his own victory. His man ner convinced every one who heard t.him of his sanity. He plainly inv 1 pressed, the members of the commie i -slon by the rational, thoughtful and C;:.;:r;; . : ducted hlmsolf. . - ... Following bis direct examination District Attorney Jerome asked per . mission to cross-examine Thaw. This " was granted, and for half an hour - Jerome subjected Thaw to a running fire of searching questions Into his past, his motive for lulling Stanton , White, his , relations With Evelyn . Ndsblt Tbaw. and other persons.- New York. March ' 80. When " the lunHi-y sciimmlRi-lon resumMta session todsiy,' irarry Thaw took, fhe' stand uKitlii and continued hhvffTorts to prove . 'that he is sane and able to consult with , his counsel. Following the examlna tlon of Thaw It was planned to call - on the stand Dr. Allen" McLane Hani' t-t llton, the only alienist who has been " summoned to appear before the com- . mission. ' ' ,. At the beginning of the hearing, Mr. ' Jerome had sought ta have Dr. Hamll- v... ton called by : the commission, but ' this has been , refused. Later, Mr. - Jerome was able to present additional reasons for calling Dr. Hamilton, and the commission consented to have him questioned. v Dr. Hamilton may be followed by a . brief examination of attendants from the Tombs Warden Fynn, Dr. ' Mc . . Oulre, the chaplain and half a doxea deputy wardens and keepers who have been, subpoenaed to appear before the commission, in lunacy' and tell . about Thaw's action and conversations in ths Tombs since he was imprisoned there. . The altogether rational idea of the commissioners is. that men who have seen Thaw dally, conversed with htm, looked after his wants and had an op portunity to observe him under all the conditions of prison laws are much bet ter able to testify as to the rationality of a prisoner than professional alienists. Attendants Believe Him Sane. , In this connected it may be said that not en official or an .attendant at the Tombs who has been approached with regard to Thaw's condition holds to any other v'ew than that ths defendant 1. absolutely rational. -Ay '.:':"'-' "He's all right," Is the general opinion; "Of course, he has his little freaks, like alt prisoners. You would say they were all insane If you bad to live here with them and see the funny freaks they develop. ' Get locked up as they are for a few weeks and you will see what effect It' has on you. But Thaw lj cheerful as they go, gives us po .trouble, and is as sane as they come." Dr. McGurle, the Tombs ' physician, who has had excellent opportunity to study Thaw and has made excellent use of his opportunity is known to have become convinced that Thaw is sane. -, Willi more arif more learned or Thaw's conduct at tho secret session of tho lunacy . board, opinion crystalizcd today that he would be declared sane. One answer after another of his aston lshod the comn.isyion, his own law yers and particularly the district at-' toruey. Especially uid one of his an1 swera Impress the commission. It was in regard to his wife. Thaw said: "I meant Just what I spM that 1 faiire l my wife' would break tiown 'Un der her fm.ful strain and I wish, to frpare her as much as powlb'e. I did not intend to Kay, nor did I Imply, ti at I ';lrei that flie i il fncts." 'M.'lticll should hoitl 1 ll-.'V. ' i i ' " In i "il t i . ( ' '-fi - i ; 1 1 i e ef ! a i ' e ' i' i - '" I ,n I t i r I- 1 v whose testimony Thaw Implied would be of help to his defence. Thaw hesitated before giving his an swers, but he Was not confused. Ap parently he knew clearly what he was doing.. Finally he said that he thought j ha (should have tho advice of his coun- t 1 before answering several questions. This, of course, had a remarkable ef fect upon the commission. - ; .: . . Remarka' !e Statement, Lawyer Hartridje said, however, that all objections w ''re waived and that Thaw was at liberty to say anything he pleased. Then he made this remark able statement:-, r ' - "Well, gentlemen, what I mftant:.was this: ,, The woman I referred to is now living In a small 'town In Wisconsin. She was ruined by Stanford White, but she has since reformed; In fact, I think it was her only !p. he is now M. re spectable woman married and happy. "When I heard . her early history, I wrote to a lawyer in her home town and secured a "statement from ' her. But I-do not think, in view of the re spected position which she Decuples to day that her name should be mention ed." ' ; "I will state," said Mr. Jerome, "that any name mentioned here will be re garded as eonfidentlal by me, and that I will never use It or refer , to It any way." . v 'i,f . h "I still think the woman Is entitled to more consideration that that,"' said Thaw,- "Jf some one will give tne piece of paper, I will write on it the namo of the woman and her maiden hame, the name of tho town where she lives and the nam of the lawyer with whom I corresponded. I will Allow the commission to see what I have written, but I object to any one else doing so.' No Lack of Mental Equopolse. The continuance of the private ex amlnatlon of Harry K. Thaw was taken up' today by the lenacy commfesion. An attachd of the court said to a news paper reporter sometime afterward; 1 Continued on Page Five.)
