New York, Jan. 8. The defense In
the trlul of Hurry Thaw sprung Its
first surprise of thu second trlul to
day by announcing that It had Issued
subpoenas for several of the expert
witnesses who testified for the pros
ecution at the first trial a year ago,
when District Attorney Jerome ap
plied for a lunacy commission, and
who made affidavit that in their opin
ion Tlinw. at M.
'.f tho htnntrv
was suffering from an Incurable form
ger of a stay in tho asylum for tho
of Insanity. Thoso samo doctors, how-
I ever, had previously testified on tho
witness stand . In response to Jer
onm's famous hypothetical question,
that they believed Thaw knew what
he was about when ho killed White.
This move is intended by tho de-
fense as a block to the prosecution
put tint,' these same doctors on the
stand, and Js taken by some as sbow
inir a detennlnntion (but Tlwv wtll
not be convicted, even with tho dan
crlmltially Insane ut Mattewan as tho
alternative. If they meet success In
this the defense would force tho trial
; of the case strictly on Thaw's mental
condition in the sunimer of l!)0l, and
: this would force Jerome to apply for
a lunacy commission, Thaw's lawyers
beiiiB confident of their ability, to
make good his claim of present san
ity before such a board.
