Insanity Testimony in Thaw Trial Focused on Knowledge
Witnesses described Thaw's mental state and knowledge of his act during the Stanford White murder trial. Doctors testified about insane versus sane knowledge and Thaw's awareness of the act's nature and wrongfulness, while cross examinations continued before a final ruling.

During the trial spirited exchanges over Thaw letters reveal Dr. Evans testing a hypothetical on the defendant’s knowledge of wrongfulness. The cross examination probes whether Thaw’s mental state during White’s death fits a form of adolescence insanity and questions the naming of such condition.
