LUNACY BOARD VILL CONCLUDE
LABORS TODAY.
DECISION IS DUE TOMORROW
Report Will Be Handed In to Justice
Fitzgerald Character of the Tes
timony of the Allcnlots Ic Very Con
flicting. Now York, April 3. Tho lunacy
commission inquiring into tho prevent
mtnta) Btato of Harry K. Thaw will

commission and tho official stenogra
pher will be present at Thaw's last
ordeal, attorneys for tho defense and

standing his condition, of realizing
tho nature or tho charge against him,
or of rationally conferring with coun
sel, while those engaged by tho do-1
fense declared Thaw throughout the I

had rationaUy advised his counsel in
their hearing and fully understood
and appreciated everything connected
with tho trial.
