THAW PLANS HIS

THAT IS NOW HIS HOPE
The Lnnaty Commission Has Ad
journed I'ntil Tomorrow -Evejya
and Thaw's Coiinstd Share the $P
timistic Spirit of the Prisoner,
Who I'Vels His Case is Won.
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
New York, April 1. "Harry expects
to be f i co within a week. He even
talked to me about being free next
Sunday, and planned how we could
dine together."
This statement made made by Mrs.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, ufter a meeting
with her husband in the Tombs 'to
show that Harry Thaw is confident
that ho already has shown the com
mission that he Is sane and that the
eonimisslon will so decide his case fie-
fore sending It back to tho court, where
he will be permanently acquitted.
Then; wan no session of the lundcy
eommisslon today, the commission
having adjourned until tomorrow.
The trial Jury had been ordered to re
port today, so there was a brief ses
sion of court long enough again 'to
excuse the jury. The process of seed
ing the Jury home from time to tljne
will continue until the lunacy commis
sion reports Its finding.
Thaw's lawyers are as confident fas
himself that the showing he made be'
fore the commission was such as . to
convince any three unprejudiced men
that he Is sane and fully competent
to confer with his counsel, and thatfh
commission will so decide. As a re
sult of this the defence will call mo
alienists to testify, despite the f4ot
that District Attorney ! Jerome wil
call three of his alienists to testify I
"The defense will offer( no wltnese
O'Reilly. "No alienists "will be called
to testify to the present mental conrll
tlon of tbe defendant, . although the
htstrtet -attorney .ims "TlTSv-proTnlse ,-ff
ins commission to near nis wttnesse:
on three points, Drs. Gregory, pil
grim and White, who Were witnesses
for the defense, will not be called, i
"It Is probable that Dr. Hamilton
may be excluded entirely, not becausehe
declines to waive his professional priv
ilege, but because what he would tell,
would be too remote to determine tfhe
present condition of this defendant.
The last time Dr. Hamilton had fen
opportunity to make an observation' of
scientific value was in July, 190. Xll
the Indications are that the trial will
be determined before the end of the
week." -f
Statement by Mrs. Thaw.
"Mr. Thaw is In the best of spirit,1
said Mrs. Thaw, "find he could not Sbe
otherwise, because of the way he pais,
ed the examination before- the commis
sion. He has every confidence that the
Commission will declare him sane,.
which, of course, he is.
"As to the story that' he has been
engaged In Wall street . speculation,
there Is absolutely nothing in it what
ever. He has not been in the market
for ever so long."
When the commission resumes its
hearing tomorrow It Is known Mr. Je
rome will Insist on the legal rights to
call tot only Dr. Hamilton, but ;as
many other experts in insanity as 'he
deems necessary to sustain his con
tention that Thaw Is an Incurable
paranoiac, and that he will cite an
opinion, expressed only a few months
ago by Dr. Hamilton on his return
from Kurope that Thaw was "crazier
than Czolgosz." the assassinator 'of
President McKinley.
If Dr. Hamilton Is permitted to fell
all he knows about the mental history
of the Thaw family and ' is followed
by other experts to testify as to their
opinion of the defendant's present con
dition gained from observation, the de
fence .will be compelled to rebut this
evidence, and If they are forced tnto
that position the Inquiry will drag
along for. woeks. Tho three points to
I which the defence expects Jerome's
alienists will be limited are the writ-
ines of Thaw. and esneeinllv th 3
jDennlston Lyon letters, the evidence In
trial, and the observations of the
alienists in cotfrt.: It rs expected Dr.
Hamilton will refuse to testify to Iso.
lated facts in regard to Thaw's condi
tion. He will want to take into consid
eration only the observation he made
in his visits to Thaw last summer, and
all that he has1 been told of bis fam
ily history,, the facts brought out In
the trial and all the letters ' and 'all
other exhibits. On Saturday ; he ' .re
fused to separate part of the facts he
knew from Die other 'and' declared
that in Justice - to himself he ' must
found his opinion on- every aspect of
the case 1 ' 1 " J

The first big surprise that the pub
lic was given was -when this young

Thaw, the public saw, was at least
no cringing wreck of a man, who
would,, like 4' child,' do. something
wrong and then beg for leniency and -
mercy in the matter of punishment. '
He asserted then that the wrongs be '
had suffered at the hands Of Stanford -!
White were such that when the Jury
heard them, it wuld. believe that he
was jiot responsible for bis actions
when, coming upon White on - the.''.

He would listen to no lawyer who ,
would not promise to make the fight'
