District Attorney Jerome will endeav- ' nr today te breakdown the remarkable story or Evelyn Thaw. Tha prosecutor will atari what prom- lies to be the moet grueling ea well es sensational cross-examination ever conducted In a court room.

Through these women, all ac tresses, he hopes to refute her pitiful narrative nf certain Incidents of her career when the was but a mere slip of a child. Brother Against Htr.

He has sworn that he would refute any attack upon the < intruder of the dead Stanford White, ills task will be heavy, too, for he has been painted as the most Inhuman senundre! ever heard of In a New York nurl.

TWRTtELL When uovernor Terrell was shown . the .telegram from Washington, raising the question as to whether or not he could legally appoint Sena tor A. o. llacnn for the Interim from March S. to June 22. he said: "In am Inclined to the Idea that If any question should be raised aa to Senator Bacon's legal light to the Interim appointment, that techni cally the Washington vlaw nf the matter la correct. But the matter will he up to the I'nlted States senate. As I have stated before, I will name him for the Intervening time, and If the Issue comes,up with an extra session, why the senate must settle It. "I ant In holies that no question will be raised that will deprive Georgia nf one.of her senators for even that brief time. But It la an In teresting .situation." DIE BACON FORfflf Washington Hears That it Can’t be Done. EXTRA SESSION MAY BE CALLED Some Say That Georgia Will Be Without One Sen ator Four Months. Washington, Feb. That Senator Bacon, of Georgia, can. by no transla tion of the law, hold hla place as a United States senator In tha time from March 4 next, the expiration of hla present term, to the time when he ahall be elected by the Georgia legislature next June, Is the claim advanced here today by prominent men familiar with tha situation. Senator Bacon and hla friends have thought all along that they had the slt- uallnn wall In hand when they secured STATE'S 1906 INCOME $4,503,409, AND EXPENDITURES'$4,714,509 Georgia's Income from all sources In taxes for 1404 was 44,401,444.74, ami expenditures, $4,714,404.04.

The roll call present or accounted for. the promise of Governor Terrell to ap point Bacon as,a senator to fill out th* Interim which came as a result of the change of tha legislature's time of meeting from November to Juno. Now the claim Is mads that under tba law the governor has no right to make tha appointment unless the vacancy be caused by the resignation or death of the holder of the Job. Investigation seems to uphold the statement, and If tha point ware pressed there would be no difficulty In showing that Bacon would have no right to the salary or the name bf United States senator from March 4 until next June. Some amusement has been caused oy the situation because of.the possibility of tbs president calling an extra ses sion Of the senate to make a aswJSp*- tse treaty. If there la ons thing on filch Bacon taksa hla stand It Is tha lenco nf making treatise, the art nf setng commas In such documents, the ouad with bis ability to patch up a per of thle sort that win bo blading as steel and lasting as adamant. Rhould Governor Terrell refuse make tha appointment which II !e thought would be unlawful. Bacon would have to retire to his Georgia home" or elV Idly “by - in Washington while Lodge and tha other.treaty lumi naries held ttistr rare feast of commas and binding clauses. The treaty would no doubt be finished before the Georgia legislature mat In June and be beyond recall or remaking. SIK ALMOST DEAD.

New York, Feb. 4.—A bruised and broken child, lying prone before the feet of Justice. That waa the Impression that Evelyn Neeblt Thaw left upon my mind as sht told yesterday on the witness stand one of tha most pathatlo stories that any one over hoard. It was a story of the slaughter of thO Innocents; of vlct preying upon virtue; of sophistication pitted against guile- leasness; of wealth tempting povertyt of ignorance stumbling blindly into the pit that had been dug for It. Ko'mat ter what also may be provan at this trial, no matter bow much It la shown what other wrongs Evelyn Neeblt may have dons after that first Involuntary wrong Into which she was betrayed by the hand abe truited. all in tba court room - grave Judge, cynical prosecution, worldly newspapermen, weeping wom en—who heard the history of her life, knew that they were gating upon one of the darkest sides of New Toni life. They were looking upon the pictures of helpless girls pursued by tha wolves of society. She Looks Only 16. And there wsa not a man In the room with a daughter or a slater that did not thank God that ha was alive to protect hla own from the men who prey upon girt children. The opening of court brought Evely.i Neeblt Thaw to the witness stand. She i dressed as simply as a school girl. In a plain dark blue frock, with a white linen turn-over collar, tied with a Mg bow of blue ribbon, and aha had on a little hat of black valval, plaited around the brim In a soft ruffle, and trimmed with a single bunch of violets at the side. She did not look a day over 14. Her hands were bars and rlnglesa, save for her tiny golden wedding ring. For the first lima since the beginning of the trial, aha waa unveiled and one DOROTHY DIX. had an opportunity to see the beauty that artists have delighted to paint, tha beauty that has been undying and that has sent one manto hla grave and another In Jeopardy of hla life, beauty consists In something aa vague and Intangible aa that of a Illy or any other frail and delicate thing. Juat a Child’s Face. It la not an Intelligent face or •trong face. It la Juat a child's face. The men who have lovad bar must have loved her as they would a child. -She la very llttla.' Her face la small, with tba tenderest little pointed chin. Her col oring la perfect, whlto akin and blue eyes with black laahes. Her nose la very straight. Her mouth rather large. exquisitely pencil! to throat U beautiful. She held herself uader wonderful control, and told her story In a level, monotonous tons, sadder than any tears could have been. Only once-or twice did her voice tremble. That waa whin she reached the climax of her story. Then aha spoke slowly, with long breaks between the words, as If It scorched bar tongue to utter them.

Mrs. Nation butted In on thb gover nor-elect at hla office Friday morning and when abe left fifty-five minutes later, she had discussed the liquor question with him to a finish.
