lRy Associated Pressl
NEW YORK, Feb. 20-There was
a great rush of curious persons anx-
ious tos ee Evelyn Nesbit Thaw nm
der the ordeal of cross examination
this morning. but only those who
were provided with special creden-
tials from the court. were permitted
to enter the court room. Every
available seat was occupied.
Mrs. Thaw was Immediately re-
called that Jerome might continue
her cross-examintion. She was
dressed precisely as on every day
since the trial began. Her face was
slightly flushed.
The cross-examination of Mrs.
Thaw by Jerome was continued up
to the noon recess and he will keep
the young woman on the stand all
the afternoon and possibly for
Several Days to Come.
Jerome indicated by his questions
that he does not intend to spare Mrs.
Thaw any way whatsoever, but will
turn over every leaf in her past life.
He seemed well prepared with notes
and information.
The prosecutor took advantage al
so of Mrs. Thaw's statement yester-
day that the story she told Thaw
about White was true, to attack the
story as to its minutest details.
Jerome questioned Mrs. Thaw as
to her manner of posing for artists.
She denied in positive manner she
ever posed in nude or had a cast
made of
Her Nude Figure.
Jerome asked her about her re-
lations with James A. Garland, whom
she knew before she met White.
Mrs. Thaw said she ad been on
Garland's yacht but was always ac-
companied by her mother.
Were you named as co-respon-
dent in Garland's divorce suit?" ask
ed Jerome.
Delmas objected to this saying the
record of the case was the best evil
dence. Jerome withdrew the ques-
ton.
The witness was put through the
closest sort of questioning regarding
letters White had written to her,
Jerome wanting to know Just what
she had done with all of them.
Mrs. Thaw said she had been on
ters she knew to be in existence were
in the hands of Hartridge..
The district attorney demanded
the production of these letters, but
Hartridge sat silent.
Mrs. Thaw's Voice Trembled
at times, but she bore the ordeal
with much fortitude.
Jerome jumped from one part of
Mrs. Thaw's story to another avoid
ing sequence as much as possible.
The cross-examination was ex-
tremely dun at times, the witness
fencing with the district attorney
constantly and seeming to hold her
wits well about her.

A sehurz Story Of LinsoIn.

One OF the many foreigners who
sought my intercession was a young
German count whose identity was
vouched for by member of the Prus-
sian legation. He had a long row OF
ancestors whom he traced back for sew
eral hundred years. He was greatly
impressed with the importance OF this
fact and thought it would weigh heav.
lily in securing him n position in our
army. If he could only have an audi
ence'' with the president and lay his
case before him, he believed the result
could not be doubtful. He pursued me
so arduously with the request for a
personal introduction to Mr.. Lincoln
that at last succumbed and promised
to Introduce him If the president per-
mittcd. The president did permit. The
count spoSc English moderately va.i.

So many false formulas and malicious
statements concerning his medicines
had been published through the con-
niYance OF jealous competitors and dis
gruntled doctors, that DR.. Pierce deter
mined TO completely disarm his assail-
ants by full and frank statement OF
their exact composition, verifying the
same under oath as complete and cor
rect. This he has done and to the
complete discontinue of those who had
assailed his good name as well as the
well-earned reputation of his world
famed medicines.
Not only does the wrapper of every
bottle OF DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, the famous medicine for
weak stomach, torpid liver or bilious
ness and all catarrhal diseases wherever
located, have printed upon it, IN plain
English, q full and complete list OF all
the ingredients composing it, but q
small book has been compiled from
numerous standard medical works, OF
all the different schools of practice,
containing very numerous extracts from
the writings OF leading practitioners
of medicine, endorsing IN the strongest
possible terms, each and every ingred-
lent contained in DIR. Plerce's medi-
cines. One OF these little books will be
mailed free to any one sending address
on postal card or by letter, TO DR.. R. v.
Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y, and requesting
the same. From this booklet it viii be
learned that DIR. PIERCE medicines con-
tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious
agents and that they are made from
native, medicinal roots OF great value;
also that some of the most valuable in
gradients contained in DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription for weak, nervous,
oyer-worked, vrun-down,n nervous and
debilitated women, were employed, long
years ago by the Indians for similar
ailments affecting their squaws. In
fact, one of the most valuable medic
inal plants entering into the compost
ton of DR.. Pierce's Fayorite Prescrip-
ton was known to the Indians as
g Squaw-W Weed" Our knowledge of the
uses OF not few of our most valuable
native, medicinal plants was gained
from the Indians.

her marriage with the man of her
choice, Miss Bessie Algrowes of Prairie
Center locked them in the cellar of their
home and drove twenty miles across the

Soon after the MONDAY meal the girl

saying she had something to show them.
Unsuspectingly, they went. The daugh-
ter climbed out the other way, bolted
the door behind her and ran around to
the other exit and fastened it. Then
calmly sitting down, she asked the an
CRY pair if they would consent to her
marriage She said she would leave
them until they did.
After several hours, the father re-
manning memorable, she placed some
food i'm small window and went to
join her impatient sweetheart. The old
people were forced to remain in the
cellar for several hours, when passins.
ncighbor released them.
