Thaws Insanity Opinion On Thaw White Case Trial
In a New York courtroom on February 12 Dr. Charles Wagner, superintendent of the state hospital for the insane at Binghamton, testified that Harry K Thaw did not know his act of shooting Stanford White was wrong. The day featured intense legal sparring between defense counsel Delmas and District Attorney Jerome as Thaws case moved through expert mental-judgment questioning and the witness was constrained by objections. A new rule barring unrelated women from the courtroom reduced the crowd and left benches empty.
