A New York conference of Thaw's lawyers set the plan for today’s court action, deciding to address the admissibility of Thaw's will and to have Mrs. Thaw resume testimony. It was also noted Thaw may not be called to testify unless an emergency arises, with possible attention to his bridge whist mania to support insanity claims. Dr. Evans testified on Thaw's mental state, describing early brain storm indicators and later shifts toward calm, while the rule restricting women from the courtroom was strictly enforced.
The fourth week of the Thaw trial opened with Justice Fitzgerald barring all women except active reporters from the courtroom.

He also read letters Thaw had written that were entered into evidence.
