Nrs. William Thaw Says She
.WIII calorie New York to
Testify When lieelted
NEW YORK. Jan. 13.—Prlor to the
opening of the trial of Harry K. Thaw,
for killing Stanford White, today. At-
torney A. Russell Peabody stated that
no application for a commission to
go to Pittsburg and take the testi-
mony of Mrs. William Thaw would be
made, as the defendant's mother has
telegraphed she would come to New
York when needed. Mrs. Thaw is
still a very sick woman. but the value
of her testimony as a personal recital,
rather than in the prosaic form of a
deposition, has led‘the attorneys to
abandon the latter proposition. Thaw
was called to the bar promptly at 10
a. m. .
Within the next few minutes Assist-
District Attorney Garvan had begun
the outline of the prosecution's case
to the Jury. He said that the great
publicity the Thaw~White affair had
attained should but urge the jurors to
It thorough understanding of the grave
duties imposed upon them.
“The defense in this case," said Mr.
Garvan, digressing entirely from his
address of a year ago, "is insanity.
The material facts are admitted. in-
sanity, let me adjure you. is not'to be
defined by what you or i might think.
it is not what physicians or metaphy-
slcians may tell us, or what scientists
or pseudo-scientists may describe. In-
sanity. as we‘ have to deal with it.
has been defined by the legislature‘of
the state of New Yor . The law is
wiser than we are e are sworn to
obey it and to live under it That
law says that the only person excused
from criminality responsibility is be

does not know the nature or quality
of his not or that the act is wrong
With this definition. and this definition
of the low alone. I ask you to Judge
of all the acts of this defendant the
night of June".h,1906, when he shot
and killed Stanford White' on the roof
of Madison Square Garden."

Walker ll. Volkening, a droughts
man. was the first witness culled. llc
made the diagram of the scene of tha-
killlug which the prosecution used
throughout the first trial and which
was introduced in evidence today. A
year ago this witness was not cross-
exnmlned. Today Mr. Littieton, for
the defense, questioned him at length
as to all the physical details of Mad-
lson Square Garden at the time he
made the drawing.
Now that the taking of evidence has
been begun, the rules as to admission
to the court room are being still more
strictly enforced and there were less
than a score of spectators present at
the morning session.
immediately after the first witness
had concluded his testimony District
Attorney Jerome arose and asked that
all witnesses be excluded. The court
made an exception of all medical ex-
ports. This ruling disclosed the fact
that Dr. John T. Dorms". tho Thaw
family physician, was in the court
room and will be one of the first wit-
passes for the defense.
As the second witness for tho pros-
ecution. Mr. finrvan culled James
('liucb Smith. who last year testified
In rebuttal, having her-ll shroud when

Smith. who had gone alone to see
the first performance of "Milo. Chum

described the entry of Then! and his
party. who previously had dined at
Martin's. With ”11' defendant were
Mrs. Evelyn 'I‘haw, Thomas Mchleb
and Truxton liculo. Mr. Smith ihcn
repeated his conversation with Thaw
which began by the latter saying he
could only get th'ree seats on the roof.
and intended stmiling himself.
Mr. Smith's testimony followed that
given at the first trial. Thaw asked
him if he was doing anything in Wall
Stroct. and said he thought Amulgn
ted Copper and the Steel stocks were
very good. lie asked Smith if he was
going abroad during the summer and

The witness ne'st described what
he saw of the killing, saying he tried
to get. to Thaw. list a lineman had
thrown his arias about the defendant.
Trhee shots were fired. The witness
did not know until after he had left
the garden that. the victim was his
brother-incisor.
Mr, Smith's
'ed in half an h
tleton began a long crossexamination.
Witness said White married his sister.
but he did not see the architect very
often.
Mr. Littleton wanted to knov all of
his movements the night of tin.- tl'éii-
'edy, the state of the weather, and
many other things—ail designed as
memory tests. Mr. smith said he had
written down his conversation with
Thaw after the shooting and had re-
peated it from memory.
Witness said, Thaw did not wear
an overcoat while he was talking to
him, but had one thrown over his
arm aahe entered the garden.
Mr. Littleton was very aggressive
toward the witness and the two men
glared at each other constantly. Smith
testified at one time that‘as soon as
Tahw left him he looked in the direc-
tion where White sat. Later he said
he did not know White was.on the
roof until after the shooting. Mr. Lit-
tleton wanted to know why witness
had sworn Thaw was looking at White
when he knew he did not know White
was present. Mr. Smith shouted that
he was testifying to the best of his
ability and in view of subsequent
events. After saying he had immed-
iately formed a mental note as to
where Thaw was looking, witness said
later he had not reached that conclu-
sion until after he knew who the vic-
tim was. .
Smith said that previous to the
tragedy he had never heard ofi any
difficulty between Thaw and White.
Mr. thtieton referred frequently to
the transcript of the witness’ testi-
mony at the first trial and asked im-
peachlng questions based upon it. At
one point Smith said the record was
ill error
Smith was still under cross-examin-
ation when the luncheon recess was
ordered.
