These were Evelyn Nesblt Thaw and Dr. Brttton Evana, Thaw'a chief alienist. Without raising hla voice, but In the frankest language, the district attorney said that In hla belief Thaw'a wife had "deliberately and willfully falsified." Mr. Morachauser, In his summing up re viewed the evtdence more In detail. One of hla arguments was a personal one that had not hitherto been offered. "I' have aesn.

Phe and her son whispered together, and twloe Thaw wrote notes, apparently , at her dictation, and paused them to his lawyer. Thaw's pale face remained Impassive un der Jerome's contemptuous pity and Mr. Mosschauser's praise. He sat with listless fsoe and limbs relaxed. There was some talk of taking Thaw back to Matteawan today, but Justice Mills allowed him to remain In the local Jail until his applica tion Is decided.
