Mrs. Evelyn Hesbit Thaw has at last fin
ished her testimony and when court adjourned
yesterday she vas permitted 70 leave the wit
ness stand for the last time. Nearly all Of yes
terday was taken UP with a cross-ire Of ques-
tions from both Mr.. Delmas and District Attor-
ney Jerome.
At the outset Mr. Jerome announced the re-
ceipt Of a letter from J. Denniston Lyon vice
president of the Union National Bank Of Pitts
burg. Mr Lyon, while witness two weeks ago,
agreed to send 10 the court certain letters writ
ten to him by Thaw. The latter said he had
received word from counsel for the defence that
Mr.. jerome did not wish letters after the night
of the shooting Mr.. jerome said that he had
told counsel he wanted all the letters Lyons has.
I take direct issue with counsel on that state
Inent my recollection being diametrically op-
posed To his" he said
Il VIII state mine under oath, your honor"
Tetorted Mr.. Hartridge
The discussion finally settled by It being
agred that a letter would be sent TO Mr.. Lyon
ordering him 70 send all the letters in his pos
session.
Abraham H. Hummel, the disbarred lawyer
was called, the prosecution desiring 10 have him
swear to the authenticity CT the Photographic
copy Of the alleged affidavit sworn to ana signed
by Mrs. Thaw. But Mr.. jerome was bafTed in
his efforts, and succeeded in asking only a few
questions before objections by the defence We're
sustained. Mr.. jerome asked:

Nj Delmas then objected 10 further ques-
tions and an argument followed in which Nj
Jerome used every effort To win his point The
court ruled. however. that The examination of
a witness could not be interrupted 10 get col
lateral inquiry into The record. Mr.. Delnlas in
sisted on his objection and was sustained.
Mr. Jerome next called Abraham Snydecker
former clerk FOR Hummel and notary public
Only three or four questions were asked him
before objections were sustained and he was
excused
When Mrs Evelyn Thaw resumed the stand
she received a leather bound diary and was
asked to read its contents and testify if the
handwriting was hers. Tho diary Of 1902 Il
was understood. vas placed in the rrosecution.s
possession by Mrs. Holman the mother Of the
witness. It took Mrs. Thaw nearly a half hour
10 go over The diary, and then Mir. Jerome read
portions OF it to the jury. The reading caused
both witness and the defendant to smile.
Nj. Jerome read:
