DRAMATIC SCENES IN COURL
Roof Garden Marder Trial May Ds
Ended Atruptiy by Cemmitial of
Acvensed te Lunatic Asylum
Por Criminals.
NEW YORK, March 21.-The blow
which Harry Kendall Thaw has been
in terror of ever since his trial for the
murder of Stanford White began has
fallen District Attorfiey Jerome did
not make formal application: fer the
appointment of a commission In luna
cy, but In am impassioned speech he
appealed to the consclenge of the court,
asserting that Thaw as he. sits dally In
court Is unable intelligently to advise
bis counsel and is bLelleved by every
one who has watehed and come into
contact with him te be insane. Mr,
Jerome asserted that his own alien
ists—the six men who testified for the
siate—were convinced when they had
considered all the facts in connection
with the case that Thaw was of un
sound mind 2
Mr. Jerome dramatically sccused the
counsel! for the defense of concealing
testimony which, If presented to the
court, would make the continuance of
the trial a crime. So earnest did he
plead that Justice Fitzgerald dlamizsed
the jury ‘until Friday worning spd ad-
journed court untill he considers what-

ever evidence either side has to nffer
and decide whether the trial shall go
on or whether a commission in lunacy
shall be appointed to pass uponThaw's
mental condition,
Justice Fitzgerald sald:
“If I should decide to appoint a com-
mission or take any other step in the
matter on Friday,” announced Justice
Fitzgerald, “I would wish to name
alienists who have not been in the
case before. [| therefore ask both the
district attorney and the couuse] for
the defense to furnish me by Friday
mornlog lists of names of all the ex-
perts who have been In agy way con-
nected with the case”
This the attorneys agreed to do.
The mdical action taken by Justice
Fitzgerald chauging the entire aspect
of the trial was precipituted by the ln-
troduction of Dr. Allan McLase Ham-
{iton, the allenist who figured in the
trial of Guiteau, the asshssin of Pres
ident Garfield, us u witness for the de
fense.
The scenes attending the adjourn-
ment of court were dramatic and ex-
citing. Thaw's counsel seemed taken
atterly by surprise. This was expect
ed to be the last day of the trial ex-
cept for the summing up before the
Jury. Boon after the three cornered
discussion among Justice Fitzgerald
District Attorney Jerome and Mr. Del-
was began Thaw's five other attorneys
gathered ous Ly one around the judge's
desk and for a tiwe seemed Intent up-
on denying what the court had termed
the charges of unprofessional conduct
brought against them Ly the prosecut-
ing officer,
Thaw, dejected, sat deserted at his
counsel table. He Jad seemed unsual
ly pale and somewhat haggard when
he came luto court at the beginning
of the morning segsion, having com-
plained of fatigue and restlessness.
When the district attorney and Mr
Delmas began thelr usual skirmish
soon after the trial started Thaw's
spirit seemed to brighten and he laugh-
ed In good humor at some of the pas
sages at arms between the “learned
district attorpey” and the “learned
counsel fron the Pacific slope” As
the argument began to take on & more
serious phase, however, the prisoner
sat deeply concerned. He flushed crim-
®0on 28 one by one his aftorneys left
bim to rally to the suport of Mr
Delmas, who, however, In the miist
of the proceedings wan superseded by
ANorney John B. Gleason. Thaw bit
his uals, opetied nnd closed bis hands
nervously and finally ~ank down In
his clair lo an attitnde of utter de
jection.
i Tue climax of the nine weeks’ trisi
{was precipitated by the action of the
defense In calling to the stand Jer

a
course. He said If Dr. Hamilton was
to testify at all he must tell everything
be kpew in connection with the case,
incloding the defendant's family his
tory.
The argument which ensued became
so pertinent to the question of the pres
eat sapity or insanity of the defendant
that Justice Fitzgerald ordered the jury
to retire from the room. Then the dis
cussion took on a broader range, which
resulted in the court's determination
before prodecdiug further to have pre
sented to him the facts which the dis
trict attorney asserted bad been with
held from the jury by the defense snd
which be had been unable.to give to the
conrt Ina strictly legal form
“If the real facts were known” de

facts before you they would shock apd
herrify the conscience of the court and
instantly this case would ba stopped
So deeply have I been lmpressed with
this that I have served notice upon the

very bitterly about this matter.
“There is not a man who has watch
od this defendant sitting here at this
table that dees not know that as he
sits there be is iucapable of advising
counsel Thus under the statutes It
becomes the duty of the court to stop
the proceedings.”
Mr. Deimas began to fight agaiast
the distriet attorney's move, but the
matter was soon taken out of his hands
by John B. Gleason, who opened the
case for the defense at the beginning
of the trial. Mr Gleason demanded
that Dr. Hamilton's testimony be im-
mediately taken as.to whether he be

sion belleves Thaw is sane at present,
the trial will be resumed.
District Attoruey Jerome was mani
festly pleased with the new turn of
affairs
Thaw's counsel also professed to be
pleased, declaring Mr. Jervme's ‘move
was an acknowledgment that he was
defeated.
Mr. Delmas sought to have Mr. Jeo
rome placed himself on record as form-
ally applylug for a lunscy commis
slou, but the district sitorney would
only repest that he was directing the
attention of court to a matter
which miglit appeal to his conscience
Mr. Jeroine sald that Drs. Blugaman

physicians, bad told hlio facts concern

oner’s family, but the defense had fal)
«] to bring out these matters io the
testimony.
“1 submitted to the allenists sum

tics of which are Insane delusions, and
that actiug under these iosaue dJdelu
slons he killed Stanford White, Lut
that within the legal definition of in
sanity he knew the nature and quality
of his act and kpew the act to be

sessed the Information he wax stating
to the court that he had persisted so
long lo prosecuting to his death a wan
who he believed was Insane lo the eyes
of the law because he could pot com
munivate intelligently with counssl. As
to the charge of unprofessional cou
duct, he had heard it for the Amst time
today, Mr. Delmas continued. He fur
ther sald that the defense had called to
the stand Dr. Hamilton, the man whom
the district attorney believed to know
ore about the case than any body else,
and was procesding to interrogate him
when the district attorney objected
When the trial adjourned Messrs
Hariridge and O'Reilly of Thaw's
counsel professed the greatest pleasure
over the turn of affairs,
“The district attorney has ackasowl
edged himself beaten,” sald Mr. Hart
ridge. "We can comhat the lunacy
