BAD DAY FOR THAW
WOMAN SAVES FIVE GIHIS.
Three Experts Declare He
Is a Paranoiac.
DANGEROUS TO SET HIM FREE.
Dr. Austin Flint Says That There Is
No Hope of Recovery For
Slayer.
White Mains, X. Y., Auk. 4.-I)r.
Austin Flint, Dr. William Illrsch anil
Dr. Amos T. linker, three of those
medical men known as alienists, who
have become such a familiar part of
modem criminal court procedure,
united In the supreme court to make
it unpleasant for Harry K. Thaw, who
killed Stanford White, was adjudged
insane, hut now demands his release
from the Matteawan as.vltun as a men
tally normal man. All three test tiled
that ho was Insane and beyond hope of
recovery.
Mr. Jerome read portions of the
hypothetical question. What he read
DK. AUSTIN FLINT,
took in the Longfellow letter and the
rambling communications found in the
Tombs, as well as the Thaw family
history.
Thou District Attorney Jerome asked
the witness to consider, besides the
facts, the twenty-four pages of data
and newspaper clippings submitted to
Delpbin Delmas.
"Considering the facts stated In the ,
question and these different writings
are you able to state an opinion of
the defendant's mental condition?" 1
"I am."
"What is It?"
"He is Insane."
"What Is the form of his insanity?"
"True paranoia."
Dr. Flint dellned true paranoia.
"The disease is not accompanied by
mental deterioration," he said, "or any
mental Irregularity except In so far as
the mind Is dominated by the delusion
or separate delusions."
"Is true paranoia a disease from
which a person can recover?" Mr. Je
rome asked.
"No one can ever recover from true
paranoia. In the ease of paranoia, a
paranoiac never thinks he Is Insane.
He always believes he Is sane."
"As to concealment of delusions,
what about that?"
"It Is very common. Not only do
the victims conceal them from laymen,
but often from experts, nnd they may
conceal them for many mouths. A
paranoiac believes In his delusions and
lie also believes that he Is very intelli
gent. He believes that If he can find
a fair minded alienist he can convince
I1I111 that his delusions are not delu
sions." "In regard to paranoiacs -who have
killed under the influence of a delu
sion, is there likely to be n recur
rence? Is the mind of that person like
ly to bo focussetl on some one else?"
"A persecuted paranoiac is the most
dangerous of the Insane. Paranoia Is
never found In n person of untainted
heredity. Very often a paranoiac takes
It upon himself to bo a reformer. He
believes tbnt he Is destined to reform
the social system."
Dr. Flint said that when paranoiacs
did commit homicide they always
chose a public place for their act; the
more people present the better want
ing the world to seo them accomplish
their self styled rlghtooua acts.
"The murder of Stanford White was
a classic paranolac'a murder,'; declared
the witness. "The murder Is always
done theatrically, nnd the more heroic
of the paranoiacs are often willing to
die rather than admit Insanity."
Dr. Flint said that before Evelyn
Nesblt Thaw-testified againat her hus
band at the first week of the hearing
she had volunteered before him and
1 counsel to give any Information thoy
fronted.
Dr. Hlrsch pronounced Thaw a "do-
generate paranoiac" and absolutely in
curable. Dr. Baker said that in his opinion
Thaw was not only Insane now, but
a paranoiac and a dangerous person to
be at large.

Doubt is oftentimes medicinal. There
is more faith in honest doubt than in
a creed about which you aro afraid to
think. Doubt is an experience which
belongs to a growing life. A man must
fight his way through doubt to the
clear and sunlit spaces which lie be
yond. He can do this only by hard
and honest thinking. "Come, let us
reason together," salth tho Lord.
This has been the exhortation of the
Almighty from tho beginning. In the
fulness of time Jesus camo, and in
Jesus we hear God saying, "Come,
now, let us reason together." Jesus

SHOT AUM.
Former Actress Tries to
Kill Friend at Waldorf.
COUSIN OF BENJAMIN HARRISON
I Mary Scott Castle Fires at William
I B. Craig In Hotel, but His
I Fountain Fen Deflects
the Bullet.
New York. Aug. -1. Just when tho
crush lu "Peacock alley" In the Waldorf-Astoria
was at its height a smart
ly dressed woman tried to kill Wil
liam B. Craig, a lawyer. She tired a
shot from a bulldog revolver point
blank nt his breast, and but for a sil
ver incased fountain pen in his vest
pocket, which deflected the bullet, it
would probably have entered his heart
The woman who did the shooting
was Mrs. Neville Castle, a notable fig
ure in the smart set of San Francisco.
As Miss Mary Scott she created a sen
sation nine years ago by going on the
stage.
The man she tried to kill comes from
the Pacific coast, is a member of the
Rocky Mountain club and numbers
among his friends John Hays Ham
mond, United States Senator Clark, F.
Augustus Heinze nnd many western
mining millionaires.
A wild infatuation for him on the
part of Mrs. Castle was responsible for
the attempted murder, according to
Mr. Crnlg. On the other hand, Mrs.
Castle declared Craig had grievously
wronged her, and, driven to despera
tion, she had sought to punish him.
Mrs. Castle's life has been one of ro
mance. As Mary Scott she gave so
ciety a shock when she joined the com
pany of Tim Frawley at the Califor
nia theater, ln San Francisco, Jan. 9.
15100. She made her debut as Fay
Villain in "Tho Princess nnd the But
terfly," a part created in New York by
Mary Mnnnoring.
All of the coast "Four Hundred"
turned out for the debut. She was the
daughter of the Into II. II. Scott, and
her brother, Lieutenant H. Scott, now
of the const artillery, married a daugh
ted of the late Admiral William T.
Sampson. Mrs. Castle used her maiden
name of Mary Scott on the stage.
From the west she came to New
York, where she appeared at Proctor's

March 5, 15KU, friends of the young
woman had police headquarters send
out a general alarm for her. She had
mysteriously disappeared, and her
friends dreaded suicide. Her cousin,
Mrs. Fred Goodwin; Mrs. Eugene Del
mar, an intimate friend, nnd Law
rence Griiiltli, another cousin, joined
in a search that lasted for days.
She finally returned to her friends.
Mrs. Castle married in 1S5I8 Neville

Klondike. His sister-in-law. Mrs. Wal
ter M. Castle, figured in an interna
tional scandal when arrested at the
Cecil hotel, London, Oct (i, ISIKi, on a
charge of shoplifting. She was held
lu the unusual ball of i?2r0,O00.
Minister Bayard interested himself
In her case, and as a result the Castles
came home and she entered a sani
tarium. One of her connections, Al
bert Castle, lived then ln Philadelphia.
Mrs. Neville Castle, during the early
days of her stage work, let It be
known that she was a cousin of the
late President Benjamin Harrison.
Mrs. Craig, wife of the lawyer whose
life was attempted, told the police that
Mrs. Castle had fallen in love with
her husband and had urged him to
give up bis wife for her. Mrs. Craig
Insisted that both she and her husband
had befriended and protected tho wo
man. "She seemed to be insane upon the
subject of possessing my husband,"
Mrs. Craig said.
At the police station after being
locked In n cell Mrs. Castle said:
"I have known Will Craig since wo
were babies, and if he hadn't told me
so himself I would never have be
lieved be would want to quit me. He
hns visited my studio many times."
She then went on to say that she
had waited for him at the Waldorf
and that after he had refused to talk
to her she had fired. Even after her
arrest she pleaded with Craig to stand
by her, but he appeared obdurate. He
said he was weary of Mrs. Castle's
Bttentlons.
