THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY iS, 1907
BECOMING
A MOTHER
Is an ordeal which aQ
women approach with
indescribable fear, for
nothing compares with
the pain and horror of
child-birth. The thought
•f the suffering and danger in 6toro for her, robs the expectant mother
• «f all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a
shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women
lave found that the use of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs
confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother’s Friend
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its nse
Jjently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents “morning
sickness,” and other dis-
comforts of this period. m W m M. *1 JP—

New York, Feb. 9.—The nature
of District Attorney Jei'ome's cross-
examination of Evelyn Nesblt Thaw,
who has already spent two days on
tho witness stand In tbe defense of
her husband, was the principal sub-
Ject of discussion Saturday. Mrs
Thaw's direct examination has con
tinued almost without interruption
for two days and there is no sign of
the climax, the moment when the at
torneys for the defense will turn her
over to the tender mercies of the Dis
trict Attorney for cross-examination.
The district attorney has a diffi
cult problem to face In this cross-
examination. With the truth or fal-'
•ity of stories the witness has testi
fied, she told her husband, he has
nothing to do. ’ The statement that
she told him these things, Mr. Je
rome cannot possibly disprove. IIIb
strongest chance in cross- examina
tion is to make her stumble in the
story as she has told It with the gen
tle guidance of her husband's attor
neys, or admit telling him other things
about her past life which would tend
to minimize in his mind the effect
of the story or her relations with
Stanford White. He can Introduce
evidence,-if he has It, generally af
fectlng her credibility as a witness
but as fbr the many statement tn her
testimony—the stories which made her
recital perhaps the most striking ever
heard in a court in this city—Stanford
White himself, if he were alive, could
not go on the witness stand and deny
them. The point in the case is
not, as to the truth of these stories
but as to their effect on Thaw's mind
This fact was impressed on the jury
Friday when the court, at the request
of the District Atiorney Informed the
Jury that under the law the prosecu
tion could not Introduce evidence with
the object of disproving any slate-
mant that she told her husband all
the things she has testified to. That
Mr. Jerome,will strenuously object
to the further Introduction of what he
termed "tattlings of the Tenderloin
was plainly shown Friday, when he
claimed and was sustained by the
court, but as yet there has been no
evidence to show that Thaw Is now
or ever was Insane, and that until
this was shown any more of these
stories would be entirely Immaterial.
This ruling may bear any other stories
that Evelyn Thaw may have had to
tell In such time as It has been shown
that there Is a reasonable doubt as to
the proper balance of Thaw's mind
at the time of the shooting.
If this Is done, then the flood gates
are likely to open for the admission
of almost Rnylhlng that Thaw may
have told his wife or she told him,
or that he heard In any other way
that to any extent might have con
tributed to the unbalancing of his
mind. Several attempts were made
Friday to show that Thaw was of un
sound mind, hut the district attor
ney vas successful In blocking them
for the time being. Thaw’s attor
nyy Slated Friday night that Mrs
Thaw would again assume the stand
Monday morning on direct examlna
thin, but to what she would testify
they were not prepared to state
Mrs. Thaw appeared Friday In' the
Bame costume she wore the day be
fore. Her testimony was not so In
terestlng or so convincing, for she
was as direct in her manner of speak
lng and more .dramatic In her dollv
er.v. any observed that she did
not make as favorable an impression
as she did during the fire day on tbe
stand.
Is expected that r. Dolmas
of counsel for Thaw, will make a
vigorous effort on Monday to Intro
dnee Thaw's will in evidence. It
Is said to be a remarkable document
and Is believed to be strongly relied
on by Mr. Delmas to show the effect
on Thaw of the stories related to him
by Evelyn Nesblt. It ts said to have
been written on loose sheets of pa
per, partly typewritten and partly It
handwriting, with many interlines
tions.
According to a report Saturday, the
will Is expected to show that Thaw
feared assassination, and It la said
that In It be ordered the sum of $50,-
000 b« devoted to the prosecution ol
his assassin, or the Investigation ol
his anticipated assassination.
Other provisions is one setting asldt
a fund of $75,000 for the care of wo
men who he believed to have suffer
ed through Stanford White. The
names of the women whom Thaw be
lieved to have suffered are reported
to be given In the will. It Is alsc
reported that the will contains n pro
vision for tbe education of Howard
Nesblt, Mrs, Thaw's brother, and
that an alowance was made for tht
csre of Evelyn's mother for life. Tht
income for the remainder of the es
tate was bequeathed to Mrs. Brelya
Thaw.
