This move waa taken aa a reason for the defenaF allowing murh of the Hummel tealiiaony to stand today. Dtlmaa Question Answered. When he had concluded reading the Del mas hypothetical question to Dr. Flint, District Attorney Jerome said: "Assuming all these facts to he true, did the man who shot and kll.el another know the nature and quality of tha art and know that the act wa wrong? Mr. Jerome put his question In the form of the statute which defines the character of Insanity, which excuses crime. In my opinion." replied Dr. Flint, he knew the nature and quality of hia act and kuew tbat the act wan wrong." Mr. Jerome now said hia own hypo, thetlral question would he read to tho Ha naked all tho other exwltneaa. perts to listen closely, evidently in tho hope that when the time conies. Mr. will not Insist upon tho qneo-tlobeing reread to each witness. Tho district attorney called upon hia assist, ant, Mr. Gnrvna, to read tho qnaatlon, and when Mr. damn began Jerome left the room. Tho Thaw counaal, with copies of the question in their hands, followed the rending closely. A Long Qeeetiee Read. ' The hypothetical qoeaUon. Cavern practically nil of the evidence in the case. It contained about ItJIllO words. Throughout the question Thaw was re- -' far red to ns "H. K. T." ml Evelyn Nesbit as "K. N." The question covered the entire life of Thaw ns it ban been testified to by variou witnesses. It told of Thaws various diseases aa s child, of measles, mumps, whooping rough and Bt. Vitus dance. In 19PL Thaw met Evelyn Nesbtt, then a chorus girl. Bonn after ha seat her a $59 bill in a bouquet, which she retarned to him. He saw her at various times, and finally. In March, 1903, ha neat the girl and her mother to Europe, where he Joined them. In June, la Paris, he proposed marriage tn her. but ahu refused him. Question In Evalyna Own Wards. Practically la her own word the question detailed her story of what street happened In tbe Twenty-fourtstudio on the night on .which she rlulmed Stanford White bet rayed her. The effect of this auiry on Thaw wen detailed at length, a wan the trip which Thaw and Evelyn Nealilt, trav. cling aa man and wife, made In Europe. Tha story of the subsequent relations of the two was then gona Into. Including the second1 European trip, the marriage and other events leading up to the night of June 26, when Thaw shot Stanford White an the roof garden. Several thousand worda were required to give the subalanre of James flinch Smith's testimony regarding Thaw's actions on the roof garden before the shooting, this being the tesil-nion- y on which the district attorney principally trie to show that Thaw was not insane when he did the shooting. Then rime s lung description nf the actual shooting. Thaw's letters, the will and codicil and the letter to Anthony Comstock, nil of which arc in evidence, were then referred to, as were the conversations between Thaw and hi wife, In which be told her of other girls whom he said had suffered at White's hands. Testimony ef Mrs. William Thaw. The testimony of tbe elder Mrs. Thaw regarding her aona conduct when he returned home from Europe In 19i2, which she described as unusual and unnatural, ws given. Then at much length the conversations to the Tombs between Thaw and the alienists were related. No feature of the case that could possibly throw light on Thaws mental condition was overlooked In Ihe question. It required Just forty minutes fine f of the. Mr. Ganrsn to read question.
