aha and Kansas City are increased
about two hours, and between Chica-

New York. Mar. 13.-James Smith,
Whites brother-i1-law, was called
again as a witness in the Thaw trial
this morning. He was briefly cross
examined by Delmas. Abraham Hum
nell was next called by Jerome. Je-
rome asked, did Mrs. Thaw tell you
that Tnaw wanted to injure White
and put him in the penitentiary, and
that Thaw had begged her time and
again to swear to documents he had
prepared involving White and charg-
ing that he had drugged and ruined
her, and that Thaw had beaten her
because she would not sign the pa
per-" Delmas Immediately objected,
and a long argument ensued between
MIN and Jerome.
IF her story is true,' asserted Je-
rome, Il know of nothing in the his
tory of literature more sublime than
Evelyn Nesbit's self-sacrifice in her
renunciation of the love of the man
who we are told was paying honora-
BILE court to her. But she returned to
America on October "a, and on Octo-
Der "a she was in Hummel's office
with the man who she now says ruin
ed her, and there she said that in
Europe Tnaw had beaten her with
whip because she refused to sign
paper accusing White of drugging
her. White, she said. had never
harmed her.
Jerome then read a large number
of decisions bearing upon the subject
introducing evidence to show that
the witness had made statements
out of court which do not agree with
her statements made in court.
The proposition / make to the
court is very simple" continued Je-
rome, IF Evelyn Nesbit did not tell
Tnaw this story IN Paris, the reason
for ais insanity disappears. If she
did not tell this story the hypotheti-
cal question on which the experts
have based their opinions disappears.
1 contend that under the law, under
the authorities I have quoted, / did
right to show that this woman made
the statement outside of court, but
under oatn, that she did not tell
Thaw. would not agree with any such
story as she told here"
Delmas asked that a recess be tax
en- until after noon, as .he did not
want his argument interrupted by
the noon recess Jerome suggested
recess until tomorrow in order to
give him time to formulate his hy-
pothetical question Justice Fitzger-
aid ordered an adjournment until to-
morrow

ing his breast to the bullet Lined
up against a wall the little company
of revOlutiOniStS met death at the
hands of the sharpshooters of Castro.
One by one they were picked off, Par
edes waiting calmly and without a
tremor for his turn. When it came
he smiled defantly in the faces of his
enemies, and then toppled over with
bullet through his heart. Without
ceremony the bodies were thrown in
to a cart and buried shallowly in a
common grave. So ended the Napol-
comic dreams of General Antonio Pa
redes, who had hoped to capture Car
acas and make himself dictator of
Venezuela with an army of a score
of men.
Paredes arrived in Venezuela late
in January and established his CAPT
tai at a little village in the interior,
proclaiming himself ruler of the cou1
try. At that time rumors were af1oat
that President Castro was near unto
death, and Paredes hoped by bold
move to make himself Castro's sue
cessor. He expected the natives to
flock to his banner. but in this he
was disappointed. Too often before
they had defied the little dictator, on
ly to later feel his iron heel on their
neckS.
Then the news of the invasion of
Parades reached the ears of Pres.
Castro, and he Immediately dispatch
ed a company of soldiers to effect his
capture. For time the little band of
advelturers fought bravely against
tremendous odds, but in the end were
driven from their stronghold and seiz
ed on February 13.
Paredes was born in Mexico and
has played prominent part in many
instructions in South and Central
America. Las September he was mar
ried to Miss Florence Hutchinson, a
wealthy Chicago girl, but shortly af-
terwards deserted her to take up
again the adventurous life of a rover
and soldier of fortune.
