THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1907.
LAWYERS STORM .
HT ONE ANOTHER
(CnntThued from Ftrt Taite.)
Jumps from one Idea to another. These
forms and others are characterized by
the exaggerated ego. They are well-defined
forms about which there can be no
difference of opinion."
"Is there any specific name, doctor?"
asked Mr. Delma.v "given to that form
of insanity wherein one imagines him
self omnipresent the ruler of the world?"
"That Is included in the form of in
sanity to which I have referred. Both
adolescent Insanity and paranoia In
sanity are characterized by delusions
as to self-importance and exaggerated
ego. '
"In adolescent Insanity the patient
exhibits no marked symptoms. But
when the stress comes" Dr. Evans
took on a declamatory tone of voice
"the man docs not break down as the
ordinary or normal man would. There
Is a complete loss of mental balance,
an explosive condition of the brain, the
reason becomes dethroned, the will
power Is-lost and the brain Is operat
ing as a ship does in the wind without
a rudder the balance wheel is gone.
'The acts of such a man are not the
nets of a normal man, but show him
to be guided by disease and stress. His
mind has left Ha moorings and yields
to diseased conditions.
Rapid Flow of Words.
"On my first visit I also noticed that
Mr. Thaw suffered from a rapid flow
of words not characteristic of the nor
mal mind. He showed a condition of
abnormal excitement a diseased con
dition of the brain."
"In the disease you describe, how do
the conditions differ from the conditions
In a normal man who speaks rapidly?"
"An ordinary normal man speaks more
or less deliberately on all matters of
grave Importance. He talks slowly and
lils ideas come logically and connectedly.
In a man of unsound mind, the ideas come
rapidly, tumbling over each other, Jump
ing from one subject to another, that at
once leads a trained observer to suspect
unsoundness of mind. To me it means
that the mind has either recently come
through or is Just going Into a severe
mental storm; in other words. It is either
the twilight or dawn of a state of men
tal unsoundness or explosion. By delu
sions I mean false ideas out of which a
man cannot be argued by logical and or
dinary arguments. Jlr. Thaw exhibits
what I believe were false Ideas that my
arguments could not shake."
"When was your next visit to the
Tombs?"
"I believe it was September 21."
Iater in the session. Dr. Evans explained-he
meant August 19.
Delusions of Persecution.
"On this visit," said Dr. Evans. "I
found Thaw still nervous, agitated and
he had the peculiar expression of the
eye familiar with mental diseases. I
also observed his suspicion of me and
all around him. He still exhibited de
lusions of persecution, a condition of
revolt against these fancied persecu
tions because they were unfair."
Dr. Evans next described his third
visit to Thaw, September 19.
"Mr Thaw exhibited delusions of
Biisplelon, lack of eonlidence In his ad
vlseis. an explcy tveness of mental
make-up characteristic of a person of
unsound mind." . .
"What else did you observe?"
"There were no hallucinations. Mr.
Thaw dismissed the physicians and had
an argument with his counsel which
1 shall not narrate."
Mr. Delmas here Interrupted the ex
amination to read from a number of
authorities to support the contention
advanced by film yesterday that the
statements of Thaw to the physicians
tending to shed light on his state of
mind were admissible. v
Justice Fitzgerald said as no ques
tion was pending- ho could not rule.
Mr. Pdniiis asked Dr. Kvans to state
bis conversation with the defendant on
September 19. Mr. Jerome objected.
AVnnts Thaw's 'Statements. ,
Mr. Pelmns continued to read from
court decisions as a foundation, he
said, for introducing statements made
by Thaw at the time of the homicide
nnd prior tiiereto. He wanted to show
that the statements of the defendant
might be taken into consideration by
an expert In determining the mental
condition of his subject at the time of
mi examination. He said that yester
day a witness had not been allowed to
give such an opinion.
Mr. Jerome said he did not object to
any such opinion.
Mr. Delmas asserted that Mr. Jerome
"has reasoned In a circle on this sub
ject." Justice Fitzgerald said It was a ease
of "reasoning in a circle," as explained
by Mr Delmas, but ho did not under
stand the facto that way.
Mr. Jerome again declared he would
not object to hi) opinion as to whether
the defendant was insane or sane subse
quent to the shooting, but wished the
durations to be distinctly contined to
given period.
Justice Fitzgerald sustained Mr. Je
roaie's objections and Mr. Delmas pro
ceeded to question Dr. Kvans.
"Were the conversations necessary to
enable an expert to form an opinion as
to he defendant's mental condition?"
"They were not entirely necessary, but
tliey were highly Important."
"Now what was It?" Mr. Delmas said.
Mr. Jerome objected and was sustained.
"1; will now ask you." continued Mrl
lt..!,cic "If n t. -
..v....,.". i n. it-auii ui your eigne
visits you formed an opinion as to the
man's mental state at the time of your
vis'.ts?"
"Yes."
Dr. Evans then went on to the next
visit on September 22. Dr. Wagner1 was
also present.
All Symptoms of Insanity.
"We examined his general attitude, his
manner of entering the room, manner of
thought and general deportment. He was
still highly nervous and still suspicious
of everyone. Ho exhibited the exagger
ated ego. the air of self-importance and
the disposition to direct than be directed
by me."
"When did you next see him?"'
"On September 27 when we made a
complete physical examination."
Dr. Evans said the next visit was on
September 29.
"Many of the previous tests were re
peated. 'We asked various questions, and
the prisoner gave his own answers to
them. He took matches and placed them
so as to show positions which may have
been clear to him. but were confusing to
me. I lld,not think his explanations were
clear or logical. He was calm, and less
suspicious."
'i'ho next visit Dr. Evans made was
on October 1.
"This time Mr. Thaw was extremely
cordial, and talked to me like a brother
or friend.".
The eighth visit was made on Octo
ber 3.
"We had a protracted interview with
(Mr. Thaw, In which the subject near to
his heart was discussed. It lasted two
hours." said Dr. Kvans.
"Under the ruling of the court, can
you say anything further regarding this
visit?"
"Under the court's eliminations, there
Is nothing more I can say."
At this point the court took a recess
for luncheon.
Dr. Evans resumed the stand after
the mid-day recess.
"Doctor," asked Mr. Delmas, "as a
result of your eight visits to Mr. Thaw,
did you form an opinion as to the then
mental condition of Mr. Thaw?"
"Yes."
"Was It based on part of the oral
statements of Mr. Thaw during these
visits?"
"It was In part."
"Will you now state what that opin
ion was?"
Mr. Jerome objected.
Formed Two Opinions.
The witness said as the result of
his first three visits, he f6rmed an
opinion ana as the result of the last
five visits he formed another.
"State those two opinions."
"That is objected to," Interrupted
Mr. Jerome. "The two questions should
be separated."
"If I ask one question, will I be
allowed to ask the second?" Inquired
Mr. Delmas.
"Of course you can ask the ques
tions," remarked the Judge.
"What was your opinion after the
first three visits as to the mental con-
LAWYER WHO NOW DIRECTS
dition of the defendant?"
"I was then and now firmly of the
opinion that during the first three
visits Harry K. Thaw was unsound in
mind because of a diseased brain."
"As a result of your observations
during the last five visits did you
form an opinion as to Mr. Thaw's men
tal condition?"
"I uid."
"Please state it."
Storm in Deranged Mind.
"The stability of his mind was still
impaired, but seemed better than upon
the three former visits."
Was the Improvement gradual?"
"Yes."
"What in your opinion was the con
dition of mind the sequel of?"
"I am of the opinion that he was
suffering from a positive disorder or
derangement of mind as a result of
hereditary predisposition. I am of the
opinion that there were additional ex
citing causes In the order of stress,
strain and ordeals of the mind which
formed a brain storm or mental explo
sion which left Its traces behind."
Dr. Kvans was handed the letters
written by Thaw and introduced in
evidence. The doctor again began the
perusal of the letters, which were lat
er to form one of the bases of a hy
pothetical question. Meanwhile a 40
mlnute recess was taken.
Same Long Hypothetical Question.
After Dr. Evans had been reading
for 40 minutes Mr. Jerome suggested a
recess for half an hour, while the doc
tor finished. This was granted at 3:10
o'clock, but when court reconvened Dr.
Kvans still had two letters to read.
Mr. Jerome proposed another recess
for 10 minutes, but Justice Fitzgerald
refused it. Dr. Kvans thereupon re
turned to the ptand and continued his
reading of the letters. Dr. Kvans fin
ished reading the letters at 4:16 P. M.,
liaving been an hour and three-quarters
at the task.
"After reading these letters, have
you been able to form an opinion as
to the mental condition of the author
at the timo they were written?" asked
Mr. Delmas.
"I have."
"Then, doctor, listen closely to what
I am about to ask you, resumed Mr.
Delmas, who then read from the sten
ographic report of yesterday's proceed
ings the hypothetical question covering
the entire Nesbit-Thaw-White story,
as it appears in the evidence and which
was asked of Dr. Charles G. Wagner.
Dr. Wagner, it will be recalled, gave
it as his opinion that Thaw was In
such a mental condition at the time of
the tragedy that he did not know his
act was wrong."
When the hypothetical question was
completed Mr. Delmas asked Dr.
Evans:
"I ask you to state on these facts
and In the light of the letters you
have read, what was the mental con
dition of the defendant, assuming the
defendant is the young man whom I
have described?" Mr. Jerome had .slow
ly risen.
Jerome Grows Snappish.
"The question is objected to," he de
clared, "because of the statement that
n maternal uncle of the defendant was
insane. The testimony Is that the un
cle was of unsound mind."
"I will amend the question to have
It read 'unsound mind,' " said Mr. Del
mas. "I further object," said Mr. Jerome,
"on the ground that there is no evi
dence here that Thaw paid 'honorable
court to Miss Nesblt.' "
"I will not split hairs," said Mr. Del
mas, "and make it 'acquainted with
her.' "
"I am not splitting- hairs." said Mr.
Jerome somewhat irritated.
"I did not say you were. I said I
would not, said Mr. Delmas.
Mr. Jerome further objected to the
question on the ground that It referred
to the fact, 'That a serious if not crim
inal operation" was performed on Miss
Nesblt.
"It's called a severe if not a crimi
nal operation. It was an ordinary op
eration for appendicitis," began Mr.
Jerome.
"I object," broke in Mr. Delmas, "the
record does not show any such, evl
dence."
Jerome Imputes Evil Motive.
"Every question has been put to this
witness," continued Mr. Jerome, raising
hi voice, "to Instill in bis mind and into
the minds of the Jury that this operation
was what is known as a criminal opera
tion, as that is usually understood."
"Your Honor," said Mr. Delmas. "I
take exception to these remarks and wish
the exception, noted on the record, and I
wish it noted on grounds of misconduct
of the District Attorney."
"To any normal mind," continued Mr.
Jerome, "the impression that would be
carried by these statements is that the
operation was of a criminal nature. If
they will exclude such an. operation as
this, I am willing to let the question.
Their very unwillingness to do this is in
Itself proof that they desire to make that
Impression on the witness."
"You did not object to this question
yesterday." said Mr. Delmas.
"No, yesterday I did not realize what
it meant."
"If you will give me the word of the
defendant's counsel." continued the Dis
trict Attorney, "that they do not know
the character of this operation, I am
willing to let It go."
"I give my word I don't know," re
plied Mr. Delmas.
"I didn't say you. I said defendant's
counsel. I will give you time to consult
with your associates."
.
P
BATTLE FOB THAW'S LIFE.
"I don't care to do that," replied Mr.
Delmas.
"Then you do want to make this In
sinuation?" snapped Mr. Jerome.
Delmas Calls Down Jerome.
Again Mr. Delmas noted an exception
to Mr. Jerome's remarks. "I protest
against this," he exclaimed. "The" Dis
trict Attorney strangely forgets his char
acter and position when he charges me
with an attempt to deceive. He must on
deliberation see the Injustice of his dis
courtesy." "I see Injustice plainly," said Mr.
Jerome, "but not In my remarks. I will
ask this witness what he understands
by the operation In the hypothetical
question."
'May I ask the learned District Attor
ney where he got his information as to
the operation?" suavely suggested Mr.
Delmas.
"Yes," said Mr. Jerome sharply.
"Did you get it without violating a con
fidence?"
"Yes."
"Did you get it from Mrs. Thaw?"
"No."
"From her physician?"
"No."
"Then where did you get It?"
"From her mother."
"Oh. did her mother perform the opera
tion?"
"No, but she was there and knew the
character of it."
The matter was finally adjusted at the
suggestion of the court by Mr. Delmas
striking out of the hypothetical question
the description of the operation as "ser
ious If not criminal.
Mr. Jerome further objected to the
question on the ground that it stated
that Mrs. Thaw had told her husband
that Stanford White had spoken to her
after the marriage. The District Attor
ney said the evidence was that the girl
passed White and heard him say "Eve
lyn." Mr. Delmas accepted an amend
ment to the question.
Laugh at Jerome's Expense.
Here Mr. Jerome consulted his notes. "I
can't carry such a question as this in
my head," explained the District Attor
ney. "Probably not," commented Mr. Delmas
In a tone of tolerance.
"Certainly not," rejoined Mr. Jerome,
"that would be an Illusion.." There was
considerable laughter.
Mr. Jerome further objected to the
question on the ground that it said White
was not visible to the young husband at
the Cafe Martin. Mr. Jerome said there
was no such evidence.
"Let's strike that out too," said Mr.
Delmas.
Mr. Jerome had still another objection.
The question declared that at Madison
Square Garden, Thaw's eyes suddenly
"lit upon White."
"I don't want to appear captious," said
Mr. Jerome, "but I want this question
straight today."
Mr. Delmas made the question read,
"Thaw saw White."
"I must still object," said Mr. Jerome,
"to the statement that Thaw pulled a
pistol from his overcoat pocket. There
is no evidence to show where the pistol
came from."
"Make It read 'pulled a pistol,' " as
sented Mr. Delmas.
Mr. Jerome objected also to the state
ment that Thaw held up both arms after
shooting .mte. saying the evidence was
merely one arm was up.
Mr. Delmas ordered the court stenog
rapher to make all the corrections and
then asked Dr. Evans if he understood
the- question as amended.
"Yes," was the answer.
Mr. Jerome interrupted to insist that,
when the direct question was put, it
should be in the language of the New
York statutes, as to whether the man com
mitting the act was capable of knowing
whether it was right or wrong.
"I will be glad to accede to the demand
of the District Attorney for the definition
of insanity in the statutes of tills state.
The law is so clear it cannot be improved
upon, certainly not for the purpose of this
defense," said Mr. Delmas. who then
turned to the witness and asked:
At Last the Answer Comes.
"Doctor, after hearing this question and
reading these letters bearing In mind all
you have heard of 'this case that has
been Introduced in evidence and exclud
ing everything, is It your opinion that
the defendant on the night of June 25
did or did not know his act was wrong?"
"I do not believe that he knew the act
was wrong." answered Dr. Kvans.
Mr. Jerome objected to the form of the
answer and to conform with the law
Dr. Evans repeated:
"It Is my opinion he did not know the
act was wrong."
"In your opinion did he then know the
nature or qualities of the act?" '
"In my opinion he did not." ,
In your opinion was his inability to
know the quality of the act or that it
was wrong, due to the fact that he was
laboring, under a mental disease?"
"In my opinion It was."
This ended Dr. Evans' examination for
the day.
Before adjourning Justice Fitzgerald
suggested to the attorneys the saving of
time in every possible way. "Time may
be saved," he said, "if these letters, if
they are to be examined by any other
expert, be given to him that they may
be read out of court. I would also sug
gest that. If this hypothetical question is
again to be asked, a revised copy of it
may be made In accordance with the
agreement reached today, that time may
be saved in argument."
Court adjourned at 6:07 until tomorrow.

FIGHTING FILTH NOT WINDMILLS
Most readers axe familiar with that deiightf ul Spanish romance by Cervantes, "Don Quixote,"
the Spanish country gentleman who became so imbued with the tales of chivalry that he set forth
with his squire, Sancho Pancho, in search of knightly adventure, with very amusing results.
Among other feats, he essayed to fight windmills and turn 'em into giants ; transform solitary
inns into castles, galley-slaves into oppressed gentlemen and other ridiculous stunts.- The Knight
and his esquire suffer a series of ridiculous discomfitures and are finally brot home and confined
as madmen. We have our modern "Don. Quixotes" in business today Dealers going around
"fighting windmills" and other imaginary foes that do not and never existed. We have no
battle with anyone are at peace with the world and our neighbors.
One thing only we do fight FILTH .'and it's a fight for the people.

Does Your Stomach Feel Happy
When Meal-Time Comes?
When you sniffle in the air the ap
petizing aroma of something cooking,
do you feel that you could sit down,
open your mouth, pin back your ears
and eat with a delicious gusto, every
thing set before you, and not feel any
bad effects from it?
In other words, can your poor stom
ach take care of everything and any
thing you put Into it? There are thou
sands and thousands of people who do
not know what It Is to have a good,
strong, healthy stomach, nor do they
realize what it is to have a good ap
petite. You can have an all-powerful stom
ach and a fetching appetite for every
meal, and every day, if you give your
stomach a rest, and let something else
take hold of your food for you and di
gest it as it comet into the stomach,
something that is harmless but that
really does the work of digesting,
quickly and thoroughly.
This "something" is Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets, the most effective little
tablets in the world for curing any
thing that may be wrong with your
stomach. One ingredient of these
precious little workers digest 3000
grains of the coarsest or richest food
put into the stomach. Think of It,
3000 grains'. They are really an arti
ficial stomach, because they act just
like the stomach, they digest your
food, just as though you didn't have a
stomach at all. It supplies the stom
ach with the digestive Julcos which
have become weak and scanty.
Then your indigestion, dyspepsia,
sour risings, brash, belchlngs, acidity,
fermentation, loss of appetite, aversion
to food, bloaty feeling, - heartburn and
nausea, will b no more. Tou can then
eat anything you want, all you want,
whenever you want, and your stomach
will feel fine before and after your
meals. Your appetite will be a thing
of pleasure to have, your meals will
be a pleasure to eat and relish, and
your digestion will be thorough and
soothing to the whole body.
You can't do your work well, or be
cheerful, or have energy or vim or am
bition, when your stomach is bad.
Make yourself feel good after a hearty
meal, feel good all over, clear your
mind and make you enjoy life, by tak

quake, but none of them does more
damage than slopping water out of the
fountains in the parks or the soup out
of the plates of diners.
In the first place, all but two or
three of the buildings of Importance are
of concrete, with walls from three to
six feet in thickness. The ceilings are
always of tightly stretched cloth,
stiffened with starch and kalsomtned
to look like plaster. If they were of
lath and plaster they would come tum
bling down on the heads of the In
habitants at the first blow of the giant
under ground.
But the principal reason for the safe
ty of the city is that it rests on a bed
of mud. There are no cellars, for the
soil is too wet. It is about 15 feet
thick, then conies a strata of conglom
erate rock (known locally as "tepe
tate") about 18 feet thick, and below
this is a bed of mud whose bottom has
never been fathomed.
When the "trembler" comes the
ground heaves like the long swells of
the deep seas for 90 seconds or two

ATROPHY A

TIOJT.
TOU 0LT TRUE TRBATMEOCT FOR ITS CTTR.B.
One of our counsel who is a thorough scientist and has studied and
practiced In the first colleges and hospitals of America, and who Is one
of our medical council, says as follows:
The eaoaea for Atrophy In men ft re I
by abase. Sd. Caused by varicocele.
Caused br old age.
There Is no one branoTi of medicine which deserves more oareful and
conscientious treatment than that of Atrophy.
There is no subject in the whole field of medicine that the general pub
lic has been so grossly deceived in as that of Atrophy.
Most all of the mechanical devlcea so widely advertised that the public
Iras been deceived into buying for the cure of Atrophy or small, weak
parts have proven not only useless but injurious.
The only correct theory to overcome Atrophy Is to direct a fresh and
active circulation of blood to the parts, thereby supplying them with
nerve foods and tissue builders; then warmth and vigor will follow,
numbness and feebleness give way to that of Increased circulation and
nerve energy.
The theory advanced by us is only common sense. It must be right,
judging from the many hundreds of letters we are continually receiving
from grateful patients we have treated successfully.

Men to stay cured. A sure cure for Varicocele and Hydrocele In shortest

second, but much milder shock, and
then a season of peace for days or
weeks.
The Valley of Mexico. In which the
City of Mexico Is built, was an ancient
lake bed. Indeed, now part of It Is
covered with water and the city Is
some feet lower than the level of these
existing remnants of the former great
lakes.
Alexander von Humboldt expressed
the opinion when he -isited Mexico
that earthquakes would never destroy
it, but that some day its weight would
cause it to break through the crust of
"tepetate" and be engulfed in the un
fathomable mud beneath. In those
days the city had a population of not
more than 75.000. Now Its population
numbers 500.000 souls, and the weight
of the buildings resting on the frail
crust has correspondingly Increased.
Scientists believe that the Eiffel Tower.
Paris, acts as a lightning rod to protect
the city.
