Thaw Insanity Defense Strengthened by Alienist Testimony
Dr. Britton D. Evans testified about Thaw’s claims of a conspiracy to commit him to an asylum and his attempts to bring Stanford White to justice. Evans and Dr. Charles G. Wagner corroborated Thaw’s statements. The defense introduced Thaw’s will and a codicil linking to his insanity plea. The will allocates funds for investigating Thaw’s death and redressing alleged misdeeds by White. The codicil names funds for a Pittsburgh lawyer and others to aid four women harmed by White’s alleged acts. The trial entered its fifth week as Delmas led the defense table.
