What Hummel Will Tell.

During his argument today the Dis
trict Attorney asserted that Hummel
would swear Evelyn Nesbit told him
three days after her return from Eu.
rope in 1903 that Thaw had bc4ten her
cruelty because she would not sign
papers ne had prepared, falsely accus.
ing Stanford White of having drurged
and betrayed her. Mr.. jerome CON
tended that she had told much more.
that Thaw seemed bent upon pulling
Stanford White in the penitentiary;
that the statement that White had be-
trayed her was not true: that Stanford
White had never harmed her. and that
Ihaw was consumed with rage when
she refused to sign and swear TO tho
papers containing Giles against Stan
ford White
''These things were put in the form
of an affidavit" declared Mr.. Jerome.
and that affidavit was subscribed 70
by Evelyn Nesbit when she knew what
she was doing and what the paper con-
rained.
