White's Name in Will Sparks Thaw Trial Questions
Washington Post special report from Pennsylvania says attorney D. 7 we, long an advisor to the Thaw family, travels to New York over a will signed by Harry K. Thaw on his wedding day to Evelyn Nesbit. The draft was by John McCleave of the Pennsylvania Railroad firm. The will allegedly reveals knowledge of Nesbit's relations with Stanford White and may bar her from Thaw's estate unless she cuts ties with White. Evelyn Nesbit signed a concurrent will agreeing to the same conditions, forming a contract. Watson, who declined to defend Thaw at first, assists the defense now after White's death.

Insanity as a Defense in Hal Phaw Trial for Stanford White Killing
The trial outlines insanity as the primary defense in Hal K Phaw’s killing of Stanford White. It explains New York law requires proof that at the time of the act the defendant did not know the nature or wrongfulness of the act, or was unable to control it, with monomania or insane delusions sometimes sufficing. The piece surveys insanity tests, applicable sections of the penal code, and how irresistible impulse may influence jurors.
