His Counsel Evidently Pleased-

-Je- ; rome Saying Kothing. District Attorney's PI n Is Ripped Up the Back by the Commisr sion's Idea of Its Powers. New York, March 29. Harry K. Thaw for two hours submitted himself to a running fire of questions from the three men appointed by Justice Fitzgerald as a commission in lunacy to determine his present state of min4. The examination was conducted beLind closed doors, and a few minute before 5 p. m. an adjournment was taken until tomorrow morning. Thaw went willingly and confidently before his judges, and when the two hours' secret session was concluded his attorLeys appeared with smiling faces and ceclared they were more than satisfied with the course of the proceeding3. District Attorney Jerome hurried away from the criminal court building declining absolutely to say one word about the commission's work. Jerome Is Hit Again. The most important feature of the day's proceedings was the decision cf the commission to limit the scope of :1s inquiry to the exact language of the 6tatute to determine solely the question as to whether or not Harry Thaw is able today to understand the nature of the court proceedings against him, and is able to advise his counsel in a rational manner. District Attor ney Jerome wanted to have his ox perts testify before the commission, but that body declined, saying that the purpose of the inquiry was a very sim pie one, and had to do not with any classification of mental diseases, but with the prisoner's present state of mind as judged by laymen. Confronted with His Own Idea. In laying down this decision the commission conrrontea tne district at torney with the very position he has maintained in putting Thaw on trial for his life. Jerome contends that Thaw was suffering from paranoia on the night of June 2o last when he shot and killed Stanford White, but added that parauoiacs often have knowledge cf what they are doing, and that Thawknew the nature and quality of his act in killing White and knew that the at was wrong. Thus while medical experts may determine today that Thaw is still suffering from paranoia the question to which the lunacy com mission has decided to confine itself deals solely with Thaw's knowledge as to the proceedings against him nl hi? ability to advis his lawyers. PRISONER'S WIFE PRESENT Jerome Protests Against Closed Doors, but Is Overruled. Hardly had the commissioners seat cd themselves when Thaw appeared He was directed to a chair within the under counsel rail and sat directly be neath the eyes of the men whose de cision as to his present mental ca pacity is of such vital import to him Thaw appeared to be in excellent spir Its, and sat unflinchingly under the steady gaze they turned upon him. In the big court room there were only the newspaper reporters and three of the prisoner's family his wife, who has never missed an opportunity to be near him since he was placed on trial, anl his two brothers, Edward and Josiah Thaw. After the session had formally been opened by the readiug of the court'o o'der Clifford W. Hartridge, acting as counsel of record for Thaw, arose and stated to the commission that his client was ready at any time to submit to &uch examination as the commission desired. His only request "was that the hearing should be private. "Being a prisoner on trial for his life," said Hartridge, "he feels he should be protected as far as possible in this marter." Chairman McClure then announced that whatever examination of Thaw the commission might decide tipon would be held behind closed doors. Jerome protested, and said he would net attend such an examination, which he declared was one by a board of midical examiners, and not a commission in lunacy. The board concluded to examine Thaw behind , closed doors ne ertheless, and Jerome-stayei while the commission did the examining. it is stated that during most of the two hours Thaw was before the commission the notes and letters which he has written to his counsel since the trial began were under consideration, lo put Thaw thoroughly at ease the commissioners addressed their questions to him In a conversational tone, and in a casual manner, as though he were in conference with them, asked him from time to time to explain incidents in the trial which had called forth certain of the letters placed before the commission by Thaw's attorneys. It was satd that Thaw answered the questions calmly and went into lengthy explanations of some of the notes he had addressed, to Delmas while his trial was in progress. . These notes and letters were made a part of the affidavit filed by. Delmas .with Justice
