Thaw asserts sanity by alienist evidence forty five times over
White Plains August 11 1909 Harry K Thaw issued a statement on his reevaluation hearing arguing that alienists proved his sanity "forty five times over" during the Matteawan asylum case. He criticizes Jerome's witnesses and notes Dr Baker and others offered unfriendly or conflicting testimony. He cites experts and lay witnesses claiming his sanity and attacks the prosecution’s method.
