"Brans Test I Urn That Prlsower Was lump When It Was Drawn -Drbnaa Still C'ondnctlng the Case. NEW YORK, Feb. IS. "I never wanted to shoot the creature, I never wanted to kill him. I knew be was a foul creature, destroying the mothers and daughters of America, but 1 wanted through legal menns to bring him to trial. I wanted to get him Into court to bring him to Justice. Rut Providence took charge of It; it was an act of Providence." This Is Hurry K. Thaw's own story of the killing of Stnnford White. It was told by hhn to Dr. Rrllton D. Evans, the alien ist Inst August In the Tombs. Dr. Evans today repeated the prisoner's words to the Jury that Is trying Thaw for his lire. District Attorney Jerome fought hard last week against the Introduction of this evi dence which tho defense believes N cm elusive proof that Thaw did not know his net wan wrong. Once the testifying phy slelnns had declared that in their opinion Thaw was insane at the time he made the statements. However, the rules of evi dence permitted the introduction of tho prlsorer's words.' . Thavt'n Will Admitted. In further bulwarking their contention thnt Thaw was Insane when he killed Stan ford White, the defendant's counsel suc ceeded today In plnclng before the Jury tho will executed by Thaw the night of his marriage In April. I!t03, and a codicil ex ecuted at the same time. Again Mr. Jer.ime fought the evidence, but he significantly withdrew his objections after Dr. Ev.ns had given It us his expert opinion th it Thaw was Insane nt the time he executed tho will. The fact that the district attor ney seems disponed to let in testimony of every character provided there Is a pre liminary opinion from the witness that the man wan of unsound mind at fhe time to which the testimony refers Wnn taken to day an further Indicating that Mr. Jerome may at the psychological moment, If he deems hln hand strong enough, demand the appointment of a commission to pnns on Thaw's present state of mind. Provisions o WI1. The will and the codicil were offered In evidence as cumulative testimony of Thaw's mental unsoundness prior to the killing of White. In his will Thaw provided that his executors should net apart the sjm of JSn.000 to Investigate his death In case of a violent or suspicious tnd, ana tor tne prosecution of the persons suspected of having a hand In bis taking on. In the cndlcil Thaw left to a lawyer In Pittsburg t'.MO, to be used In securing legal iedress from Stanford Whito and one other person, whose name was not allowed to be read, for the benefit of four young women who. Thaw declared, had been the victims of "degrading assaults" In house "fur nished and used for orgies by Stanford White nnd other inhuman scoundrels." Thaw also bequeathed sums of $,5no each to Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurat. Anthony Comstock and a lawyor named In his codi cil, to bo used In discovering further al leged misdeeds by Stanford White and se curing redress for the women. Drs., Hammond and Jclliffe will testify tomorrow, probably on the Improvement In Thaw's mind during his . confinement in the Tombs, declaring that the stress which caused the mental explosion wan removed With the death of White. It was said to night that Mrs. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw might go on the stand tomorrow to complete her story. Tho trial today entered Its fifth week. Ilrhnaa fondoeti Case, . At the opening of court Attorney Delmas was again in his accustomed place nt the head of Thaw'a counsel table, notwithstand ing reports of disagreement. Juror Bolton said he felt able to go on with the trial. It was decided that the Jurors should not again be confined until ,, i v. v. u .

Tnaw told the physician that in his attempts to bring Stanford White to Justice he had com plained to District Attorney Jerome and that the lawyer had told him to let tho matter drop, that there was nothing to It. He also complained to Anthony Comstock and to a detective agency. Dr. Evans was corroborated as to most of Thaw's statement by Dr. Charles G. Wagner . of Uinghamton, who first figured as a witness early last week. Jerome- and Evans (lush. District Attorney Jerome cross-examined Dr. Evans briefly on his opinion that Thaw was of unsound mind at the time of exe cuting his will. The proeecutur and wit ness flashed fire at the first contact and there was evury indication that when Mr. Jerome undertook Dr. Evans' cross-examination In general the proceedings would be as lively and Interesting aa uny ever hoard In a local 'court room. Dr. Evans met the preliminary attacks boldly and seemed as ready with his wits aa the dis trict attorney. This was illustrated when Mr. Jerome, In a tone of aggravation, asked the witness: '"Well, what are you able to say?" "There arc many things I could say, but I am not permitted to say thein." retorted the physician amid laughter. Mr. Dclmas was on his feet during tha cross-examination. He Interposed many objections and generally was sustained. He looked sharply to. Dr. Evan' Interest, but the latter appeared to be well aware of I his privileges. Mr. Jerome. In protesting against admit ting the codicil as evidence, referred to "these' scandalous statements." Mr. Delmas objected and bad bis objection noted as being to the district attorney's misconduct. A wordy conflict ensued which ended by Mr. Jerome declaring that In future he would concede nothing. Ii Kvnns' Direct Testimony. Dr. Hrltton D. Evans, superintendent of the New Jersey State Hospital for th Insane ut Morris lialns, was on the stand lust Thursday when the trial was ad journed, and was recalled today as the lJorfaot Food Grape-Nuts ml Trial 10 days proven.

Mr. lKiaiaa took up the direct examination of the witness thus re suming Ms position ss leading counsel. Dr. F.vans was asked to relate the con versations he had with Thaw during his first three visits to the defendant In the Tombs. The witness has heretofore testified that as (he result of these first th'ee visits h? had reached the concluskj that Thaw was of unsound mind. "I took a letter of Introduction to Mr. Thaw from Mr. Hartrldge and was finally conducted to his cell. He gave me his hand and looked at me with a staring and twitching of the eye. With a nervous ness, such ' ns we seldom pee and In an agitated manner, he asked me to have a sent beside him on his cct. He to iked at me a long time and then said: " 'You have different eyes from Dr. Hamilton. Ycur eyes look as If you were a sane man. His eyes suggested Insanity. ' "I asked him how he was. saying I had been sent by Mr. Hnrtridge to talk matters over. Ho said it was nil right If I came from Hnrtridge and in response to my question as to how he felt, he said, 'Oh! I'm all right." "The words were nervously uttered, nnd were piled together. Then he continued 'Lew Delafleld, a lawyer, and the firm of Rlnck, Olcrtt. Gruber A Bonynge nre In a cons-piracy with Jerome, so ns to close this mntter up and railroad me off to an asylum. " 'They want to have me declared insane. There's nothing to It. They don't want me to come to a trial, where I may be vindicated and where I can tell the court and Jury what. there Is In this matter." Dr. Evans said the arrlvnl of the pris oner's wife and mother Interrupted the In terview. . Thaw Talks of White. He offered to withdraw, but Thaw told hln. to remain, and after kissing his wife and mother and Introducing the physician he asked them to excuse him until he had finished with his caller. "He then told me." continued Dr. Evans, "of Stnnford White, and at great length spoke of the alleged wrongs the man had done to Innocent and pure-minded girls. Ho neve referred to himself nnd did not seem to feel In any danger from his posi tion as a prisoner charged with murder." Dr. Evans next described hln second visit, on August .21 last. "Thaw came Into the room with a Inrge patebonrd box In his arms It was filled with papers. He wan nervous and agi tated and looked nt both myself and Dr. Wngner with the peculiar stare. He had an air of self-importance as If he wan tell ing us what to do Instead of undergoing an examination. He then proceeded to tell us the name story of persecution he had re lated on the occasion of my first visit. "He referred constanly to 'this man. this creature, thin dead man. this beast, the blackguard.' nnd said the man had sought to take the virtue of every pure-minded woman who came within the sphere of hln observation.- "'I tried to save them.' Mr The.w nnld to us, and added: 'I did nil In my power. I never wanted to shoot the creature. I never wanted to kill him. I knew he wan a foul creature, destroying all the 'mothers nnd daughters In America, but I wanted, through legal means, to bring him to trial. I wanted to get him Into court, so ho would he brought to Justice.' "I then asked him why. under such cir cumstances, he had shot Mr. White. " "Providence took charge of It.1 he re plied. 'This was an net of Providence. For my part I would rather have had him suffer In court the humiliation the revelation-of his acts would have caused.' " "Did he tell you what he had done, If anything, to bring Stanford White Into court?" asked Mr. Delmas. "He said he had gone to see Anthony Comstock and Mr. Jerome nnd n private detective agency. He nnld Mr. Jerome had told him he had better let the matter drop; that there was nothing to it. The de tectives told him they would take the mat ter up, but, they had not submitted n proper report. As to Mr. Comstock, be said, he discovered Delancy Nleoll. the at torney, was acting as legal adviser both to Stanford White and to Comstock. He re garded this as another link In the con spiracy against him. "I asked him why he had carried a pistol, and he said Roger O'Mnra, an independent detective in Pittsburg, had advised him to do so after he had told O'Mara that on several occasions thugs had Jostled him In an uttempt to get him Into a quarrel ard street brawl. lie said these thugs were the hired agents of Stnnford White, who did not want to take the responsibility nnd danger of making a personal attack. He said White hud hired the Muiik-Exstmun gung to get him into it quarrel and then beat or kick him to death." Thaw Dismisses Poi-tor The witness next went Into a description of his third vlsi. to Thuw on September 19. He was accompanied by Dr. Wagner and Mr. Hnrtridge. Thaw came Into the room again, carrying the pasteboard box full of papers. Mr. Hartridge bud tried to Induce htm to give up the papers. Thaw said tha papers had to be looked after at once. Ha then turned abruptly about and left the room, saying: "Good tluy, doctor, I am very aorry." "I told liim the papers had nothing to do with my examination, but ne swept out of the room and that ended the visit." "As a result of that visit did you draw any scientific deductions as to Mr. Thaw's condition?" "Yes. He displayed a highly explosive mental makeup in that, without adequate cause, he dismissed his counsel and physi cians after he had agreed In advance that ' we should come there for the purpoae in dicated. He displayed defective reaaon In putting aside protessional men whom he had been assuied were there through no unfriendly part." "Did he mention to you the names of any of the young women who he aald had suf fered wrongs at the. hands of Stanford White?" asked Mr. Delmaa. Before the witness could reply Mr. Del mas withdrew the question and asked Dr. Evans if he had read the codicil to Hurry Thaw's will. The witness said he bad read It In part and had heard all of It read. "Did he mention to you the names that appear in the codicil?" District Attorney Jerome objected to the question lu this form and it was with drawn. "Did Mr. Thaw say to you that ha w as not insane?." "Yes, sir; he said, 'I am not Insane.' " la It a cemmon thing with persons suf fering from un unsound mind to protest thut they are not insane?" "It Is very common about 46 per cent do it." Dr. Evans suid that Thaw declared per haps ZuO or SuO persons might be found who would say he was Insane, but ha did not think they could prove it. Relating Thaw's act of self Importance Mr. Evans said: "He wanted me to understand that he waa Harry Kendall Thaw of Pittsburg; that he was the one and only Harry Ken dall Thaw, and there were no others." - "What conclusion did you reach as to Thaw's contension that his act had been an act of providence?" "That it was an insane delusion." "Are not repentance, remorse and fear of punishment the normal conditions of, a sane roan after be has committed aq act of homicide and the absence of these ele ments an evidence of unsoundness of mind?" "Aa a rule remorse and penetanie are found in the same mind and In my opinion the absence of these feelings la an indica tion of mental unsoundness.

Feb. 18-tnder sus pension nf the rules the house today adopted the conference report on the Im migration bill, although the democrats gen erally made a party Issue against the is pert provision, as well as to that requir ing Increased air space In vessels. The hoiisn refused to suspend the rules and pass the bill reconimendi d by the Interstate and foreign commerce commit tee ns a substitute for the so-called Ia Follette bill limiting employment on rail roads to sixteen hours, the denvcrats vot ing solidly against the substitute.' Mr. Overstreet of Indiana asked thnt general debate terminate on the postofTice appropriation bill at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, which was agreed to, and at 5:10 p. m. the house adjourned until 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. Immigration mil Taken I p. The houpe aoon after convening began Consldi ration of the conference report on the Immigration bill, which wan agreed to by the senate Saturday. An appeal of Air. Burnett of Alabama, against the rullnk of Speaker Cannon io luting to certain sec-inn In the Immigration bill, wan laid on the t.vble by a strict party voic, ayes, iyti; nays, The conference report on the Immigra tion bid was agreed to by :he house, ayes, VH; nays, 101. After reading of the report, Representa tive Burnett (Ala.) made points if order agnlnst the first provision which under takes to regulate the Incoming of Japa nese oc oiks by giving the president au thority to refuse to rect,nnl7.e their pass ports and also against the whole of sec tion xlii, having relntlon to the air space In vessels bringing Immigrants to the I'nlted States. As to the first provision Mr. Burnett In sisted that the authority conferred by the Fection on the prorident put In his bands a, "big slick," which he could wield over a state, lie declared thnt It gave the chief executive a power which was never con templated by the constitution nor by the enabling act cf any sovereign state. As to the second proposition It was Mr. Burnett's contention that the nlr space provision properly belonged In a bill re lating to navigation and had no part In a bill regulating the Immigration of aliens Into the United States. Mr. Bennett N. Y.) contended that the points of order made against the two pro visions should not be, because the pro visions had been considered by the house In other bills and had really been con sidered In connection with the Immigration bill. There was nn extended debate en these points of order,' In which Messrs. Williams. Watson, Burnett and Bennett p-irtlclrated. . , , .. , , . after which the speaker overruled the points of order on the ground that the con ferees had been wholly In their rights when they agreed to a substitute for both the senate and house bills. The conference report was then taken up for consideration on Its merits, one hour being fixed for debate. Williams tlpens nisennslnn. Mr. Williams (Miss.) decided to warn the people of California of something of which they already knew, - and that was the views of the president were not their views. i "This man to whom you have left the discretion In the matter of Japanese Immi gration Is one who already has recom mended the naturalization of the Japa nese," said Mr. Williams. "I am with the people of California on the question cf separate schools and I am with them on another question. I want the .Pacific coast kept a white man's ccun try, and I want all this country, as far as It can be, to be a white man's country, not merely because I believe the Caucasian Is superior to other races, but because this Is our land, the land of our traditions and our Ideals, and I know that the influx of another race means another race problem for another portion of this republic and another social warfare.

Kime, who is a well knvwn authority on many medlc.il questions and a member of the Utaie Board of Health, maintains that no drug can cure the disease, but believes in the open uir exclusively.

Commenting on this wager a renowned specialist of the Philadelphia Clinic stales that the most effective treatment so fur attained is the combination of both fresh air and certain drugs. This was amply demonstrated In the experimental camps In the pine forests of Maine, where so many remarkable cures were mude. He also states that tills treatment ran be fol'.iwed out by any putlent In their own Home if they will adhere to it persistently. Plenty of out-door exercise and at all times breathing very deeply in order to force the air Into ull parts of the lungs.
