Tho examination of Thaw Is In pri-

Examination of tho Prisoner Proceeds
In Mibstance Thnw'H examination
consisted hlefy as to what ho
meant by the loiters and notes he
sent Delmas during tho trial and the
part he took In tho aoloction of tho
Jury
Tho leltors and notes that Thaw
was questioned on aro tho ones
which Dolmas Incorporated In the
affidavits ho lias submitted in his
contention thnt Thaw Is now sano. and
able io adviso syjih his ci unscl. It
will bo recalled that in those docu-
ments Thaw rofcrrfSl to some things
that Jeromo did. nnd tho advisability
of calling Carroll 'Heokwlth nrtlst as
a witness his right ns a husband to
have tho truth brought out and tho
amount of mohoy spent by Whllo.
In addition bo was naked about tho
Jettira he wrote to Delmas putMng

questioned cntogorlcally on sentences
in these letters. He was asked as to

COURT RECORD
ir-
Tta election will be held. Uoth
tick ts will bo placed on tho ballot.
The Democrats made application
for ' mandamus against the city
election board praying that tho board
be ins'rnrtcd to placo both tickets on
the ballot. This application was
made twenty-four hours before the
Republican case wns filed. This was
done witli characteristic Democratic
liberality
Later when the Republicans decid-
ed to go into court and ask to huvo
their uckct put on tbf1 ballot and the
Democratic tlckot thnmu out. thoy
were asked to Join In tho DomocraUc
case or to show eal liberality nd
ask that both tickets be placdd on the
ballot This thoy positively refusod
to do declaring that the democratic
ticket should be thrown out. X that
thelr's was all right and should be
planed on tho ballot. This was Ihelr
only nope ana so they c&n not bo
blamed Jor holding on to It This
shows who seeks the open verdict ot
the jieople at theppl!s and who wants
tlon and whether ho considered the
objections wisely mndo.
Admit That Answers Were Rational.
He was also asked about tho ug-
gostlons ho mado to his counsel as to
tho solectlon of tho Jury Thaw snld
he had left that in the hands of his
lawyers. Ho said ho studied ouoh
talesman paying attention to his
facial characteristics. Ho admitted
that ho mado suggestions to Ills law-
yers as to whether or not certain
Jurors should bo accepted.
If ho approved or disapproved of
them ho said so hut thnt It was not
binding on hla Inwyors. Thoy used
their own judgment and ho had no
complaint to make if they disagreed
with him.
Ono thing was ndniilted by both
sides after tho conclusion of Thaw's
examination for the day. ills an-
swers to nil questions taken by them-
solves were rational.
Ac to Thaw's manner his actions
and expressions In tanking tho an-
swers there was a difference of opin-
ion. His lawyers said they wero per-
fectly satisfied with tho way ho con-
ducted hlmsolf and that ho must htivo
mode an excellent Impression on tho
commission.
Ho was bright and cheerful tboy
said and showed no potulnncy. There
was no denial from tho district at-
torney's offico that Thaw's answers
were rational enough. It Is snld.hnw-
ever that his bearing was not that
of a limn in possession of his meutul
faculties.
