Thaw Testimony Prevailed Amid Court-Report on Lip Reader
New York July 9. Deputy State Attorney General Becker urged a mistrial after a court heard claims a lip reader assisted alienists during Thaw’s testimony about the Stanford White killing. Justice Hendrick rejected the bid but ruled remarks by counsel off limits. Thaw spoke at length, detailing his arrival, seating, and the shooting with emphasis and clarity. Three Sherbrooke residents testified observing Thaw’s behavior and perceived irrationality, while Evelyn Nesbit Thaw’s testimony was read in court. Thaw described his movements in the garden before the fatal act and concluded with a definitive admission of shooting White.
