Delinna of began to aeaume deflnlte shape testitoiisy. When court adjourned mony had been placed before the Jury to the effect that Stanford White had been beard to make a threat to kill coupling the threat the defendant, with the display of a revolver; that Thaw's action following the killing of White on the roof of Madison (square Harden was considered by eye witnesses to have been Irrational:" that an uncle of the defendant was insane; that Evelyn Xeebit Thaw passed a not to her husband during a dinner at the cafe Martin the evening of the tragedy; that District Attorney Jerome has thin note and refused, on the demand of the defense to Introduce It in evidence. At the rlohe of today's proceedings it was announced by Mr. Delmaa that either the wife or the mother of the defendant would be the first witness tomorrow uuirnlng. The alleged threat against Thaw's life was made two years and a half liefure the tragedy occurred. Diatrict Attorney Jerome objected to the evidence. declaring the defenee wna not understood by him to be one of self- - trict attorney. Never. the witness replied. "It came out during the redirect examination that McCaleb had met Mr. Jerome some months ago and discussed the case with him. The aame witness answered a question to which the diatrict attorney had taken exception and In which he was upheld by the court. Why did you do that?" demanded Jerome. I call the court's atention to this man this literary person, coming here and answering questions to which there ia objection. It la Indecent." Mr. Delmas said It was a misfortune to a man to have to testify In such a case, but he thought the witness was entitled to courtesy. Justice Flisgerald agreed, but admonished the witness to be more careful. How Many Drinks? You say you met at the Inlon club." said Mr. Jerome to the witneaK. How many drinka had you there that night T' "1 don't know I had one with you, came the reply and It waa some rime before the bailiffs could rest me order. The court room waa crowded at this time, and many gaily dressed women having been admitted during the luncheon recess. Dr. John E. Deemar waa recalled today and testified that Henry W. Copley, the defefidant'a uncle on the maternal aide, had been Insane. Mr. Jerome had declared early In the day that he would ant object to the testimony ae to insanity la the family, provided the proper foundation were laid. When, however. Dr. Dee- mar started to testify as to Thaw's cousin, Mr. Jerome said he must object again. He declared It should first be shown that Harry Thaw waa Insane by competent evidence, and It must farther be proved that the cha acter of hie insanity la hereditary. Then could the corroborative testimony ae to Insanity In the collateral branches of the family be placed before the Judge. Justice Fltxgerald sustained the objection and Mr. Delmaa said he would conduct the ease accordingly. The Countess of Yarmouth and Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie. Thaw's sisters, were in court today and took a keen Interest in all the proceedings. When the witness Boman testified ea to the epithet Stanford White used in speaking of the men he Intended to kill before daylight." Justice Flixger- eld said he would glvo all those la the court room whose sense of propriety might be offended an opportunity to withdraw. The Countess and Mrs. Carnegie went out, hut returned In lean than five minutes. Mr. lielmas replied that the defense Intended to take advantage of every legal defense allowed In the state of New York, be It Insanity, or any other legitimate Justification for fhe taking of human life.
