dence.
Questioned by Joremo.
Whin Evelyn Tbew resumed tha
aland, aba was questioned by Jerome.
Q. I will cell your attention lo that
part of your testimony yesterday In
wbich you said that you thought you
yourself did not writ# this letter (show
ing latter In her handwriting to the
Mercantile Trust Company), out that
Stanford White dictated ItT .
A. Yea, 1 believe to. because I would
not have written "Friday coming." That
Is not iny style. I would have simply
stlfl jriday or next Friday.
Daniel O’Reilly at this point brought
In a book of photographs While had
made from th* pose* of Evelyn Neeblt
Thaw. This was the book th* witness
offered to produce to convince Jerome
she had never posed without costume.
Jerome read the testimony given at
the close of yesterday’s aasslon.
She Attended Danes.

She Want With Thaw.
8he said she went to this place with i said Delmas.
traordlnary personal!ty-rtbat must be
considered.
Q. Bp that as you went from Parte

eyas had been opened to the crime you
felt more kindly toward While when
you were |p Bologna than you had In

About Stanford White? A. She said I
wag very ungrateful not to have writ

Q. After you believed your mother

At the word unchaste the fair younr
witness flushed with Indignation and
half rising Interrupted with; ”1 never
thought about my mother In that way."
Why She Refused Thaw.
Q. You declined Thaw's offer be
cauae this relation had been found out,
and you said friend* of Stanford Whits
had told of It? A. I said friends of
Stanford Whit* knew of It and tbay
wodld be able to sneer at Mr. Tbaw
when I married him.
Q. How did you know that friend*
of Stanford While were talking about
It? A. 1 mat one of Stanford Wblta’a
friends at a studio.
Q. Just give me the name of that

Mrs Thaw.
Objection by Delmas.
"Let It be mentioned aloud or not at
allsaid he.
"Mr. Delmas Insists upon spreading
upon the records of thla trial scandal,"
said Jerome. ‘The court has the right
in Insist that the record be clear of
scandal. Your honor has the right to
clear thla entire court room to prevent
any scandaloua metier from being
spread broadcast through the world by
meant of the press."
She Whispers Nam*.
"I have no desire that the name of
nny person mixed up In this matter ex
cept Stanford White be brought Into
publicity. ! will agree to the namr
being given If It be given lo me, too,”
Thaw .and a man named Shubert. She
thought Shubert was accompanied by a
lady.
Q. Did You see a good many people
In Parts from tb* tenderloin?
Objected to and sustained.
Q.~Da ymnmderstand what I mean

In the morning? A. No.
She Changed Her Mind.

ness) la In the handwriting of the de
fendant? A. I have no doubt.
Delmas objected to th* letter when
1$ was offered, on the gfound that It
waa Incomplete.
i—It waa all of the 'letter T w««-abl*
to secure.” said Jerome.. He began
t« question the witness aSout Abe let
ter to ascertain when It waa written.
Q. Was It writtert by the defendant?
A. I haven’t the -lightest Idea.
Q. When you and Mr. Thaw were In
Paris did you not, from time to time,

concerning the goodness of women be
fore you went to The Dead Rat? A.
I had.
Remained Several Weeks.
Q. How long after your talk with Mr.
Thaw In June. 1903, did you change
your opinion? A. Almost Immediately
after that talk.

demanding or the Infamous character
of the art of Htanford White? A. I
did, but not as fully as I understand tt
now.
y. Did you feel that you were making
aubllme resignation when you re
nounced the man who Is now your
husband?
Objection by Delmas on the ground
that the question was put sneeringly.
Jsrom* Dsniss Snssring.
It Is no sneer.” said Jerome
she renounced, as she said she did, it
waa certainly aubllm* and without any
parallel In history or literature.'
Objection sustained.
Q. Did you not feel In 1941 that It
was because of this occurrence you
ware compelled to renounce Mr. Thasr’a
lovs? A. Not exactly. It waa because
had been found out.
Q. Who said you had been found
out? A. Friend* of Stanford Whit*.
on you war* unwilling to
accept Thaw waa.not because of the
occurrence with Stanford Whlta, but
because you had bean found out? A.
Both together, I had an Instinct that I
could not marry hint, because of wl)ae
had happened.
Bitter Agalnit Whit*,
q. Did you feel Intensely bitter
against Stanford Whit* In 1(43 whan
you ware In Paris and when you re
nounced tb* defendant? A. Mr. Thaw
made me realise th* enormity of what
had been done. Not until then did I
feel intenaely bitter toward Whit*.
q. Do you recollect what was In the
letters written to Stanford Whit* from
Bolognr In 1941? A. No; I have abso
lutely no recollection.
Q. Whan you went to Bologn* In
June, 1943, you war* still bearing In
your mind a feeling of Intense Indig
nation against White? A. Yea, I dig.
Q. Your feelings war* the feelings
of enmity? A. I would call them feel-
Inga of enmity—you must remember
you haven't asked m* of the subse
quent acta of Stanford Whit*. So *1

Mrs. Thaw It IndignanL
q. War* they-act* of klndnes*?-A. I
can not aay thaL Th* man had an es-
Tliere la no auch suggestion," said
Mr. Jerome, "and Mr. Delmas knows It
Time and again when the witness has
whispered a name I have Immediately
gone to counsel and told him."
"Then what la the use the learned
district attorney dealnea to make of the
Information fl uked Deimar
T will willingly tell you" replied
Jerome. “I am going to send for the
person and flx certain dates."
The question as to White's friend's
name waa again put and Mrs. Thsw
whispered to Jerome and Delmas, both
of whom held their ears to her mouth
together.
Cries on (ho Stand.
"The party whom she ha* nsmed Is
In Egypt." said Dan O'Reilly, laughing.
"Jerom* will have a nice time getting
him here to flx dates."
q. Tou knew lilm well? A. I only
met him once In Stanford White's of
fice.
q. You told your husband In Paris
shout this man and tha Incidents? A.
Yea.
Replying lo questions. Mrs. Tliaw
■aid ah* had met White on a number
of occasions. Kite said he Instated that
aha meet him and ah* thought she had
to. The witness cried while detailing
some of her experiences, and Delmas
requested that the questioning be sus
pended so as to enable her to compos*
herself. Jemme readily agreed.
She Drank Much Win*.
When the witness stopped weeping.
'-Hie fllalrlct—attorney continued hla
questions. Airs. Thaw said several
times when she met White she drank
wine to excess. Jerome read a letter
written by Harry Thaw while In Paris
to a friend In this country.
"The night before the grand prlx
somebody got Allas Winchester to
dance about 2 o'clock; Frances Bel
mont was at another table," read part
of the letter. Counsel tor the defense
took exception to bringing In the name
of Prances Belmont, now Lady Ash-
bum.
Shown another letter. Mrs. Thaw
said she and her husband had written
It Jointly. In It she told of going
through some of the “Joint*, like The
Dead Rat" In Pari*. The ahope were
being opened for the day when the par.
ty returned, according to this latter.
The name of tha recipient waa not
made known.
In this letter Evelyn said; "Every
corner you turn you meet a shady
lady."
Wltnass said that after she left Bo-
logne ah* went to London. She went
directly to Paris and met Thaw. In
addition to the account at the Mer
cantile Trust Company she had an ac
count. In a bank on Broadway. The
occurrence In Twenty-fourth street,
she thought, waa In the latter part of
1941. She did not remember when her
bank account waa opened.
Would Rather Oi*.
"No** tell uo," said Jerome, kindly,
“why did you not tell your mother all,"
referring to Evelyn's wrongs at hands
of White.
"Oh, I would rather have died than
tell her." replied Evelyn. "1 could not."
Evelyn declared she had no Im
proper relations with White after Jan
uary. l»42 Thereafter he treated her
kindly, but not with courieay, the Slt-
nesa explained. She received letters
from him until 1443. or may be until
1144. She remembered part of one
letter which had been handed to her.
Mr*. Thaw was excused temporarily
and Attorney Hartrldge waa called to
the aland. He refused to give any In
formation regarding letters • written t.
Evelyn by White Recess waa taken

’’That the use of thee* obsolete head
lights not only greatly Increase* th*
hasards of transportation, dangers
shared alike both by It* own employ***

ably heightens the danger to cltlxens of

bankminl and mmad over on Its aide.
This was a new engine on Its third trip.
The train crew had a narrow escape
from death.
“On or- about February 7, 1447, aa
engine ran off tha track at Racial Off
cle and turned over.
“On or ebout Fehruary Y. 1447, -*

Washington branch and la reported to
have run along on the croeatlee about
