YOUHGTHftWWASMAD

That Is the Plea of the Defense in the White Murder Trial at New York. CASE OF STRAIGHT INSANITY Nothing "Emotional" About It, tut Caused by Heredity. Neither Will the Defense Plead Unwritten Law "What It Promises to Prove State's Case Soon Rests. tho New York, Feb. 5. The state has laid Its case aprainst Harry K. Thaw a plain, unemotional story of the shooting on the Madison Square gar- ; den roof, leaving the malice aud the motive to Le inferred from the act and the defense has replied with a plea of heriditary Insanity. It "rcas asserted that Thaw in slaying Stanford White believed he was acting a an agent of Providence; that real or fancied wrongs committed against him by the architect and former friend of his wife bad boiled and bubbTed in his brain until at last there came the explosive impulse to kill. When the deed was done Thaw made no move to escape its consequences, but hold ing the fatal revolver aloft he stood as If mutely proclaiming to the woria. The deed is done; it was right; it wag not wrong." State's Case AVas Soon Done. ThusThaw's counsel outlined his case to the Jury after the prosecution had occupied less than two hours of the morning sitting of the court in relating through eye-witnesses the narra tive of the tragedy. When the defense had Interposed Its pleA and outlined Its case an adjournment was taken, and today the defense will begin the Introduction of testimony. Story of Insanity Promised. "You will hear the story of this man's insanity," Attorney John B. Gleason, for the defense, promised the jury, "from his mother, from his wife, from his relatives, and from his physicians. You will judge him by his acts, by the heriditary stress which entered into his madness-, and when you come to judge him you will say to yourself that his act may have been one of insanity, but it was not one of crime." ALL WITNESSES AUK EXCITED Exclusions Indicate Who Are Goinff to Take the Stand. That Thaw's wife was to be one of the most important witnesses has long been known; that his mother, Mrs William Thaw, of Pittsburg, was to take the stand only became known positively when the court announced the rule excluding from the court room all witnesses save experts. Thaw'3 mother, at the command, left the room after a moment's hesitation. Sne seemed unwilling to be parted from her son in the hour of his need. His wife, too, reluctantly left the room, bestowing a last radiant smile of courage and hope upon her prisoner husband. May MacKenzie was the third of the women to have been daily included in the Thaw party to leave the court room. During the opening address by Gleason in which he entered the defense of insanity Thaw sat vrith flushed cneeks, which at times were buried in his hands, and with eyes cast down upon the table before him. He seldom looked up, just a fleeting glance now and then at the man who was making the Initial plea for his life and freedom. Never once did his eyes go to the jury box. There was another period when Thaw again looked, only at his hands, clasped before him on the table. This was when Lawrence White, the 10-year-old son of Standford White, occupied the stand as the first witness for the prosecution. Young White, who Is a Harvard student, was not a material witness. He was with his father at dinner the evening of the tragedy, but left him before he went to Madison Square garden. White was alone, it was testified, when Thaw approached slowly from behind, wheeled, faced, him and sent 1 three bullets into his body and brain. This was practically all the testimony offered by the state. TIIAAV'S LOVE FOR THE GIRL She Rejected Him in 1903 Tells of the Plea of Insanity. Thaw's counsel told the story of the prisoner's love for the girl he wf-s to make his wife. He met Evelyn Nesbit in 1901, and there then began in him an honorable love and regard for the girl. He told her mother of his love. The girl was in a precarious condition following a serious operation in a sanatorium, and Thaw suggested to the mother that she take Evelyn abroad to recuperate. It was arranged that Thaw should accompany the two as the open aud avowed suitor of the daughter. In 1003 he asked her to marry him and she refused. "The reason for this refusal you will hear frern her lips," announced Gleason. "Suffice it to say the reason had to do with an incident in her life with reference to Stanford White." Thus laying the ground for the plea of insanity the defendant's lawyer declared the brain disease had laid hold of Thaw some three or four rears ago. "We will not base our plea, however, upon a single act," he added. "It will be shown that there was insanity 0:1 both sides of this defendant's family. .Heredity tas made tis wfcat ire axa.

heredity has made the living Trorld. Our case is far removed from the mucli-tliscus?ed defense of emotion! insanity. You must disabuse your minds of all you have read in the newspaper?, and especially of the idea that has groue abroad that wo are to rely upon some higher or unwrltton law. We rely upon the constitution and th laws of the Imperial stateof New York, and upon them alone. You will understand this man's Insanity. It will not require experts to tell you of it. It la within you to judcre him and you wi!l say from the evidence that when he killed Stanford White he was an insane man." STATE DEMANDS DEATH

Gsrvan Says It Was a "Deliberate and Malicious Murder." Garvan in telling tho story of the alleged murder occupied less than ten minutes, and the resecution's entire case was kept within two hours. The witnesses related the deliberat? manner in which Thaw approached White, faced him and fired. They re peated Thaw's assertion "He ruined my wife," or "life," and Mrs. Thaw's remark to her husband, "Yes, but look what a lix you are in now." To this last remark Thaw replied: "Dearie, I have probably saved your life." It was brought out that Thaw looked back at his victim as he walked away "with a staring look in his eyes." Garvan's outline of the State's testimony was the briefest possible story of the crime. He told how White went to the Madison Square Itoof garden to see the initial production of a summer musical comedy, and then related in simple language the Incident of the killing. "The people claim," he concluded, "that it was a cruel, deliberate, malicious, premeditated taking of a human life. After proving that fact to you we will ask you to find the defendant guilty of the crime in the first degree." The actual beginning of the trial disposes of the rumors' of changes In the jury. The talk about the court room was that the defense had positively refused to make anv changes. ANOTHER MINE HORROR TWENTY-FIVE TO THIRTY DEAD Third Fatal Explosion in Two Weeks in West Virginia One riescuer Lioses His Life. Elkins, W. Va., Feb. 5.
