THE TIMES-DEMOCRAT, APRIL 1 1907, Lunacy Commission Resumes Investigation As to Thaw "s Sanity New lunacy Justice York, commission Fitzgerald’s April 2.—The Thaw 24 pages of the suggestions made by resumes today.! Thaw to Delmas for his summing up instructions to address, and declared they emanated the jury to report Thursday morning I from a diseased brain. The comrnis- are taken to mean that the justice expects the commission to conclude by Wednesday evening. It is reasoned, therefore, that the commission will not spend much time hearing the State’s alienists. Evelyn Thaw was perturbed over being subpoenaed to appear today, fearing she would have to testify against her husband. Dr. McGuire Testified. Dr. McGuire, the Tombs physician was the first witness before the Thaw commission. They Think Thaw Sane. Dr. McGuire was asked about the book in which he kept the record of the prisoner and which Jerome pro duced before the commission Satur- sion asked the witness to point out what he .considered the insane evi dences among the memoranda. Diefondorf pointed out one passage Parents of the Expelled Cadets get Together For a Hot Fight Continued from page 1 which Jerom rted, to read aloud. protest against this,” in- terrupted Hartridge. “Those papers were produced for the benefit of the commission at a secret session and the district attorney is reading taem to the reporters. It is another case like the Lyon letters from Pittsburg. They were sent here to the clerk of the court. It was agreed they might be copied in the district attorney’s office, and then they mysteriously ap peared in the newspapers.” “There nothing mysterious O NCE there was a small boy who wrote “Thisis a Horse’ aftertrying for hours to draw acopy on his slate of a thoroughbred racer. He admired the horse, wanted it, but had neither the ability nor the experience to get him. He therefore tried to draw one. When his labors were complete, he looked first at the genuine article, then at the miserable imitation,* and after long, deep study wrote THIS IS A HORSE, realizing his failure and inability to reproduce the genuine, and.iie knew without This is a Horse” written below, no one would recognize what he had tried to make. Would-be competitors have tried for years to imitate Grape Tobacco. They make black plugs of similar size, but of less weight, and put in it all sorts of various concoctions, mixtures and kinds of Tobacco, but all failed (to get the business) and finally hit upon the small boy’s plan, and printed on the tag “SOMEBODY’S SUN CURED.” They all advertise and tell you that SOMEBODY’S SUN CURED tag is valuable Of course it is (it cost about 15 cents per thousand) but how about the miserable imitation of Grape Tobacco the tag is on? Somebody’s Sun Cured tag no more makes good Tobacco than does THIS IS A HORSE makes a valuable genuine horse. Gov.

He.had been refused per- mission to be present at Thaw’s ex amination by the alienists for the defense on June 28th. Dr. McGuire said he had not talk ed with Thaw regarding his trial or his mental condition. Their conver sations had been confined to current topics. Michael J. Delhanty, the prison guard, who attended Thaw at his trial, said Thaw always talked in an understandable way and appeared rational. Chairman McClure wanted to know ii the witness thought Thaw had had a good day when he used the expres sion he had a good day. “Yes, way.” Frank sir. J. it impressed me that Sheridan anothe Thaw’s guards, said he had never seen Thaw do anything irrational. Cross examined by the district at- orney, the witness said he had never discussed White with the prisoner. “Did you ever hear him say any thing about being St. George rescu ing Virgins from the red dragons?” asked Jerome. “No, sir.” Mrs. Emily S. Walker, probational officer of the court of special ses sions, and a constant visitor to the Tombs, said she had talked with Thaw many times prior to and during the trial. His talk and manner of speech were always rational. Rev. John Armstrong Wade, chap- about the publication of those let ters,” said Jerome, “I gave them out myself. They were public documents produced in open court.” Thinks Thaw Unbalanced. Chairman McClure put an end to the discussion by saying the Lyon letters were not before the commis sion. ^ Diefendorf said the suggestions made by Thaw indicated a delusional state of mind. “Did you think he had delusions when he committed the homicide?.” asked Chairman McClure. “Yes,” replied the witness. Diefendorf admitted he had never personally examined Thaw but thought him suffering from paransia. The Final Test. The commission went into execu tive session at 12:18 for the final mental and physical examination of the defendant. Declared Thaw Sane.. The defense asked permission to call two more witnesses—Dr. Wagner, of Binghampton, N. Y., and Dr. White, of Washington, D. C. ■ Dr. Wagner declared that through out the trial Thaw had acted and con versed in an entirely rational manner. He fully understood the nature of the proceedings against him, and had ad vised with his attorneys in the, hear ing of the doctor. On cross-examination District Attor ney Jerome showed Dr. Wagner the suggestions that Thaw made to Del mas for his summing up, hnd asked: “Assuming these not to have been written as a, joke, but in good faith by a man on trial for his life, is it your opinion that thev are the product of a sane and ml mind?” “There are many very excellent sug gestions among those made by Harry Thaw,” replied the doctor. lain in the Tombs, never noticed' any thing in That’s facial expression which suggests irrationality.

Stirs Comment New York, April 3—Harry K. Thaw’s sanity and his ability to consult with his counsel at the present time, will, it is expected, be finally decided to day by the lunacy commission. Much will depend upon another pri vate examination, of Thaw, which the commission has decided upon. Apparently the conflicting testimony of the alienists, called by both sides in the case, has not tended to clear the. question to the satisfaction of the com mission and their recalling Thaw is taken to mean their decision will large ly depend upon the showing made by the defendant himself. The Crucial Test. Thaw’s examination today will be the final and crucial test of his mental capacity. It will follow a brief public Raleigh, N. C., April 2.—Henry E.
