THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1907. NEVER WANTED TO IT (Continued from First Page.) he felt all right, and slept well. He then told us the same story of the perse cution he had related to me on the occa sion of my first visit. "He referred to 'this man, this crea ture, this dead man. this beast. the Blackguard.' and said the man had sought to take the virtue of every pure-minded woman who came within his sphere of observation. 'I tried to save them,' Mr. Thaw said to us. 'I did all in my power. 1 never wanted to shoot the creature; I never wanted to kill him. I knew he was a foul creature, destroying all the moth ers and daughters in America, but I wanted through legal means to bring him to trial. I wanted to get him in court so he would be brought to justice.' Says Providence Caused Shooting. "I then asked him why he, under such circumstances, had shot Mr. 'White. ' 'Providence took charge of It,' he re plied; 'that was an act of Providence. For my part I would rather have had him suffer In court the humiliation the reve lation of his acts would have caused.' " "Did he tell you what lie had done, if anything, to bring Stanford White Into court?" asked Mr. Delmas. "He said he had gone to see Anthony Comstock, District Attorney Jerome and & private detective agency. He said Mr. Jerome had told him he had better let the matter drop, that there was nothing to it. The detectives told him they would take the matter up, btit they had not sub mitted a proper report. As to Mr. Com stock, he said he discovered that Delancey Nlcoll, the attorney, was acting as legal adviser both to Stanford White and to Mr. Comstock. He regarded this as a conspira cy against him. "I asked him why he had carried a pis tol and he said Roger O'Mara, a Pittsburg detective, had advised him to do so after he had told O'Mara that on several oc casions thugs had jostled him in an at tempt to get him Into a quarrel. He said S; an ford White had hired the Monke Kastman gang to get him into a quarrel and beat or kick him to death." Explosive Mental Make-Up. The witness next went Into a descrip tion of his third visit on September 19. Thaw came Into the room carrying the box full of papers. Mr. Hartridge had tried to Induce him to give up the papers. He turned abruptly and left the room, saying: " 'Go away, Doctor. Iam very sorry.' "I told him the papers had nothing to do with his examination, but he left the room and the visit ended." As a result of the visit, did you draw any scientific deductions from Mr. Thaw's action?" "Yes. He displayed a highly explosive mental make-up, in that, without ade quate cause, he dismissed his counsel and physicians after he had ' agreed in ad vance that we should come there for the purpose Indicated. He displayed 'defective reason in putting aside professional men who, he had been assured, were there through no unfriendly part." "Did he mention to you the names or any of the young women who he said had suffered wrongs at the hands of Mr. AVhlte?" asked Mr. Delmas. Before the witness could answer, Mr. Delmas withdrew the question and asked Dr. Evans if he had read the codicil to Harry Thaw's will. Ths witness said he had read it in part. "Did he tell you the names that appear in the codicil?" Mr. Jerome objected to the question and it was withdrawn. "Did Mr. Thaw say to you that he was not Insane?" "It Is a common thing for persons suf fering from unsound mind to protest that they are not Insane. It is very common." Dr. Evans said Thaw declared that per hnpe 300 or 300 persons might be found who would say he was insane, but he did not think they could prove it. Great Idea of Own Importance. Relating to Thaws act of self-importance. Dr. Evans said: "He wanted me to understand that he was Harry Kendall Thaw, of Pitts burg; that he was the one and only Harry Kendall Thaw, and there were no others." "What conclusion did you reach as to Thaw's declaration that his act had been an act of Providence?" "That it was an insane delusion."' "Are not repentance, remorse ' and fear ol punishment the normal condi tions of a sane man after he has com mitted an act of homicide, and the ab sence of these elements an evidence of unsoundness of mind?" "As a rule, remorse and repentance are found lu the same mind." This ended the direct examination of Dr. Evans, and Dr. Wagner was re called. "As a result of your visits to Mr. Thuw on August 21 and September 19 last, did you reach a conclusion as to the mental condition of the defend ant?" asked Mr. Delmas. "Yes." replied Dr. Wagner, "in my opinion he was insane at that time." Doctors Flinn, McDonald and Mabon also asked permission to examine Thaw, but he had refused to allow them to do so. The three physicians mentioned are the alienists employed by the state in this case. Lawyers and Doctors In Collusion. ' Mr. Thaw said Dr. Daniel had also been called, but he had refused to let him conduct an examination, although he was sent by his own attorneys. He said the lawyers and doctors were In collusion with the District Attorney's office to run him Into an asylum and prevent his case coming to trial. Thaw always referred to Stanford White by an epithet, such as "the blackguard" or "the dead man," but" never by his right name. Dr. Wagner then repeated the same story of the interview as was related by Dr. Evans. "Did Thaw protest that he. was sane?" asked Mr. Delmas. "Yes." "Did Thaw ascribe to himsetf any par ticular function in dealing with the sub ject that was on his mind?" "Yes. He said it was his province to look after the welfare of young girls and lead them along moral lines." Before Dr. Wagner was excused, Mr. Delmas said; "We now come to the matter of the will of the defendant." Will Offered in Evidence. Justice Fitzgerald said he would like to have a copy of the will to read before passing on any of the points as to its admissibility. "I would like to keep out of the record all that 1 not material," added Justice Fltsgerald. "8o would we," assented Mr. Delmas. "If the will Is offered." Mr. Jerome -Interposed. "It will have to all go In. There are elements as to handwriting, etc., which must be considered by the Jury." This statement of Mr. Jerome was taken to Indicate that he will no longer oppose the admission of the will as evidence. At tlrls point luncheon recess until 2 o'clock was ordered. Immediately after recess, Dr. Evans was again called to the stand, tem porarily replacing Dr. Wagner. The witness .was shown Thaw's will and examined It In silence for some time. "Doctor, are the names mentioned In ET this codicil the same as those you have testified Mr. Thaw gave you as victims of Stanford White's practices?" asked Mr. Delmas. Mr. Jerome objected on the ground that it was an attempt to get into evi dence the contents cf a paper for the Introduction of which m foundation had been laid. "I object to this scandalous talk," began Mr. Jerome, but he was inter rupted by Mr. Delmas, who objected and took exception to the statement and asked that it be noted that the exception was due to the misconduct of the District Attorney. "1 am not talking to the Jury," said Mr. Jerome. "I am talking to the court. We have twelve intelligent men here and they are not going to decide this case upon talk of counsel." "I object," repeated Mr. Delmas, "to the learned District Attorney's refer ring to this codicil or this will as con taining scandal." "Whether" they are true or not, his will contains statements of scandal," again asserted Mr. Jerome. "I object," replied Mr. Delmas. "I think we had better get back to the question," suggested Justice Fitz gerald In a conciliatory tone. "I am laying a foundation for the ultimate purpose of offering this will In evidence," said Mr. Delmas. "My object now is to identify theso names without making them public. If the District Attorney insists, I will have Dr. Kvans state the names, but it is not my disposition to do. so." "I see a way out of all ths," said Mr. Jerome, In a voice which displayed irritability. "Let them ask this wit ness If Thaw was crazy when lie made the will, -and then let them put the will in if the court shall hold it to be cumulative evidence and therefore ad missible." . Delmas Retorts In Kind. "I intend following that course," re plied Mr. Delmas. Dr. Kvans was excused, and Dr. Hammond, another ot the defendant's alienists, was called. Before he was sworn, however. Mr. Delmas changed his mind and had Dr. Kvans once move recalled. Dr. Evans was shown the will and asked if he had tier seen it before. He said he iiad not- Mr. Delmas asked Mr. Jerome to con cede that the copy made in the Dis trict Attorney's office was correct. "I don't concede anything," raid Mr. Jerome. "It is your privilege not to concede anything, not even common courtesy," was Mr. Delmas' reply. "I am exercising my privilege," snapped Mr. Jerome. Dr. Evans proceeded to read the volu minous will. When he had read it, Mr. Delmas asked: "Can you state whether Mr. Thaw at the time of executing the will and the codocll was of sound or unsound mind, taking all you know of the case into consideration?" Dr. Evans answered: "It is my opinion that he was not of sound mind." Jerome Badgers the Doctor. Mr. Jerome began cross-examining the witness and had Dr. Evans repeat the latter statement. "What form of insanity Is it known as?'1 snapped Mr. Jerome. "I would call it developmental Insan ity." "Was it Paranoia?" "No." "Were the delusions which you observed during your first three visits to Thaw systematized or not systematized?" "They were not altogether systema tized." "In what respect wexe the delusions not systematized?" "He shifted from one delusive idea, to another." "Can you state one delusion that was not connected with what might be termed the parent delusion about Stanford White and his relations with women?" "There was his delusion that reputable lawyers and physicians were in a con spiracy to railroad him off to an asylum." "Yes, but was that connected with the parent delusion?" asked Mr. Jerome. "I would consider it as largely inde pendent. I could see no reason why he should connect me with any conspiracy against him." "What kind of insanity is Indicated by systematized delusions?" "Paranoia insanity." , , "Do the will and codicil show sys tematized delusions?" "Yes." "What delusions?" "A delusion which showed he believed he was the subject of persecution." "Was there apparent delusion in the will or codicil regarding Stanford White?" Question Often Repeated. ' Dr. Evans picked up the will. "Wait." called out Mr. Jerome. "I ob ject to your looking at the documents. You have seen them and have testified to them." Mr. Delmas said Dr. Evans had the right to look over the papers and was sus tained. He handed the will to Dr. Evans. "Now I withdraw my question," said Mr. Jerome. "Then we withdraw our papers," said Mr. Delmas. "Doctor, without re-reading these papers, can you state whether or not there Is apparent delusion regarding 'White?" con tinued Mr. Jerome. "I don't say that there is. but there is a delusion both In the will and the codi cil." "That is not an answer." Mr. Jerome asked the question over and over again. Mr. Delmas objected to Mr. Jerome's course. "I don't think he has the right to continue this system be cause the witness does not answer what the District Attorney wants him to," he said. "He answered as I wanted." said Mr. Jerome. "Why do you keep repeating it then?" asked Mr. Delmas. "Because I don't want him to fall Into a hole without seeing the hole." There was general laughter. Mr. Jerome then asked again if the will or codicil showed apparent delusion. "I cannot subscribe to it as apparent delusion; there is apparent delusion a well-defined delusion." "Can you tell whether It is apparent delusion?" "I can't say whether it is or not." "Why did you not say so before?" "The witness answered half a dozen times." interrupted Mr. Delmas. Justice Fitzgerald ordered the original question read and then ruled that the witness had the right to read from the will in replying to the question.. Dr. Evans then read what he called para graph 8. It provided in part: Where Will Shows Delusions. "In case other than a natural death or If any suspicion attaches to my taking off or if I should be made away with. I direct that my executors shall Immediate ly set aside the sum of $50,000 for an in vestigation of the circumstances and for the prosecution of the guilty persons." If additional sums were needed, the executors were directed to use them. "Is that an unsystematized delusion?" said Mr. Jerome. "One statement does not make a sys tem." retorted Dr. . Evans. "What are you able to say as to un systematized delusions?" "The provision in the will which I read Is such a delusion." "What else?" "I see in these documents evidence of insane delusions. They show delusions that are evidences of an unsound mind." Mr. Delmas. when Mr. Jerome finished his examination, offered the codicil In evidence. Mr. Jerome objected. "There is in this will a reference to a third document, signed and sealed at the same time, and all three must go in at the same time," said Mr. Jerome. "'We have proved," replied Mr. Delmas.

It be queathed J7500 to Rodney P. Marshall, of Pittsburg, to be used, all or In part, in obtaining legal redress from Stanford White and one other person whose name was not mentioned. In favor of four young women, who, the codicil declared, had been ruined by Stanford White In a "house in New York furnished and used for orgies by Stanford White and other Inhuman scoundrels." The separate circumstance of the alleged degrading assaults upon the four young women were mentioned In the codicil. One of the young women was declared to 'be acting at Lew Fields' Theater at the time. The codicil also left to the Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, Fred W. Longfellow and Anthony Com stock sums of $2500 each for the same purpose of securing evidence of any as saults by Stanford White and obtaining redress for the victims. Will Is Finally Admitted. Mr. Delmas next offered the entire will and there was no objection by Mr. Jerome. The instrument was read In full by Mr. Delmas, but the recipients of ordinary bequests were not mentioned by name by the attorneys. After disposing of various personal effects and trinkets, the will in its fifth section leaves to Mrs. Evelyn Thaw $5000 In lieu of dower and establishes a trust fund of $50,000 for her. It also provides an annuity of $500 for Howard Nesbit. The will leaves various sums to servants and friends and the residue goes Into a trust fund, from the Income of which shall be paid to his wife J12.000 a year. Should she re-marry, however, this in come is to be reduced to J4000 a year. The item of the will which provides a fund of toO.OOO for an investigation and prosecution in case the testator died other than a natural death, or in case there were any suspicious circumstances pointing to such a conclusion, which had already 'been read , on the stand by Dr. Kvans, was re-read by Mr. Delmas. At the conclusion of the reading of the will there was a delay in sending to the office of one of the attorneys for a docu ment. Finally it was decided at 4:20 P. M. to adjourn until tomorrow morning. MAY REPAIRSHIPS NORTH Government Believes Bay City Yards Have Formed Combine. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. IS. That there Is a combination of the private ship yards of San Francisco to exact exorbi tant charges from the Government is charged In a letter from Senator George C Perkins, received by the Chamber of Commerce. Senator Perkins' letter contained the following: "The War Department has the opinion that the private shipyards of San Fran cisco have combined to exact exorbilant prices from the Government at Washing ton. The Navy' Department thinks that circumstances point to a combination to hold up the Government and is not in clined to submit to what it deems extor tion. The department desires to have the repairs on the transports made in the vicinity of the home port and does not desire to send them north to Puget Sound, whose private yards seem to be the only ones on the Coast that will bid for the work." A formal rejoinder to Senator Perkins' letter has been prepared. SCORES FOREST SERVICE (Continued from First Page.) mean that " no Judge will be appointed unless Senator Borah Is consulted. Had the charges not been made Mr. Heyburn' could have absolutely controlled the ap pointment. Mr. Heyburn today talked with the President about various candi dates. Later Mr. Borah went over the ground with the President, but made no recommendations. Last night in the presence of witnesses Mr. Heyburn assured-Mr. Borah he would make no recommendation without con sulting him and advising him of his choice. Republican State Chairman Brady is unequivocally committed to Mr. Diet rich and believes him almost sure of the appointment if Judge Aiishie falls. RAISES .PIXCHOT'S SALARY. Senate Devotes Day to Fierce Criti cism of Forest Service. WASHINGTON. Feb. 18. After more than five v hours' consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill, the Sen ate increased from $3500 to $5000 the sal ary of Gifford PInchot, Chief Forester. The debate was deVoted mostly to the methods of administration and general policy of the forest Service, and at times broadened to include the public land question generally. Practically no prog ress was made on the agricultural bill. Speaker Davey Saves Day. SALKM, Or., Feb. 1 8. (Special.) But for an effective address by Speaker Davey, who called- Simmons to the chair, the House would tonight have defeated the bill reported by the ways and means committee appropriating $25,300 for new cattle sheds at the State Fair grounds at Salem. An at tempt was made tb reduce the amount of the appropriation to $10,000, but this amendment was defeated after talks by Davey, Farrell, Driscoll and Rodgers. Purdy and Freeman insisted that the appropriation should be cut down If not eliminated entirely. The bill had barely a majority in Its favor. WE MUST HAVE - A AV fj: A? ! ... -C-.

The Merchants' Tailoring Department's THE J. B R I X BILL IS DEAD Spartan Father Requests the Lower House to Use Ax. TOO MANY AMENDMENTS Bases Action on Ground That Changes Had Destroyed Original Purpose of Law to Hern iate Logging Streams. SALEM. Or., Feb. IS. (Special.) Brix's logging bill was Indefinitely postponed on his own motion In the House tonight by a vote of 38 to 19. The author of the original bill explained that it had been so extremely amended as to destroy its origi nal purpose, and for that reason he re quested the action that was taken, after an earnest effort had been made to bring the bill before the House on its merits. Vawter. Freeman and Dye urged that the bill had merit and was entitled to a respectful consideration. They said the objectionable features that were incor porated in the bill as originally pre sented had been eliminated and the meas ure had been made to conform to the very best interests of the state, espe cially in the interest of the lumber in dustry. Newell and Purdy spoke against further consideration of the bill, claiming that all logging on streams should be done dur ing the high water season in the Winter months. The employment of flash dams authorized in the measure, they com plained, would have the effect of over flowing agricultural lands along these streams to' the great damage of the land itself and to growing crops. The vote for indefinite postponement was successful, with 38 ayes and 19 noes, as follows: Ayes Barrett of Washington, Bayer, Belknap, Beutgen, Bones. Brix, Brown, Carter. Chapln.

Feb. 18.-(Special.)-The Oregon Legislature will adjourn at noon Saturday, February 23. This was assured tonight, when the House concurred in a Senate resolution calling for final adjournment at that hour. The Senate has its business well in hand, less than a dozen bills originating in that house being in committee on adjournment to night. Probably ISO Senate bills are in the House awaiting consideration during the closing days of the session. Other than appropriation bills, there are not over a dozen House bills that were not disposed of in regular form in the House before adjournment tonight. Under the terms of Joint rule 11, governing proceedings of both houses, no Senate bill can. be received in the House during the last five days of the session, or be ginning with this morning, except by con sent of two-thirds of the members. Speaker Davey construes this rule as not applying to forwarding House bills from the House to the Senate during the same period and this will enable the House to send to the Senate such bills as have not yet been finally acted on by that body, any time prior to final adjournment. President Haines contends that this Joint rule has the same application to the consideration of House bills In the Senate as it does to Senate bills in the House, and tonight announced that he would so hold. Therefore, unless the Senate over rules him he will refuse to receive from Three Good Reasons Why We Must Sell New Spring Garments at Prices Never Heard of before: First Reason: j Delay of completion of our new store.

L Mr. C Arthur Longwell of New York Will Be Heard. By a happy combination of circum stances Mr. Phil T. Clay of San Fran cisco, vice-president of the Sherman, Clay Co., and Mr. C.
