Thaw's female relatives was present to
hear the story of his wife Edward Thaw
was his only relative IN the courtroom in
the morning. In the afternoon he came
late. found his seat taken, and went
away. apparently in huff. Later, Josiah
Thaw came IN and found seat.
Outside the big door there was a crush
in the morning that resulted in many ply
steal encounters between the curious and
the police. Court officer owens had a
scrap with Assembiyman Mark Goldberg.
Goldberg said later that he wanted TO
get in 10 see Assistant District Attorney
Train and that when he found he could
not he tried to send in his name, and
that Owens. seized him and slammed him
up against the wall.
A big majority of casual spectators, IN
Guiding most of the women who got in,
had cards purporting to be from Edward
Carol. chief clerk of the Court Of Cen
eraI Sessions. There were 12S Of these,
Court Crowded.
Justice Charles H Truax visited the
courtroom a short time in the morning
and sat with Justice Fitzgerald on the
bench. The corridors of the building
swarmed with all sorts of curious persons
who were trying under various preteXts
to get into the courtroom. Very few
of them succeeded, but that did not keep
them from standing about and pleading
with the police and at the noon hour
the galleries Of the building were crowded
with people, who hung over the ratings
in the hope of getting a view OF Evelyn

Tombs for luncheon The crush was
just as bad at the courtroom door at ,
O'Clock, and every seat was taken at
both sessions of court.
1t was a much easier day for Thaw
than the previous one He knew he had
heard the worst that his wife had 10
tell, and his face showed it. He looked
at her very often as she went on with her
story, but not when the lawyer was read
ing his love letters. Then he talked with
his lawyers or looked at the ceiling. But
the strained. dowucast look was gone
from his face and his bearing was less
anxious and shamefaced.
As for her, If she ever looked at him
it was not apparent. For the most part
she fixed her black eyes on those of Mr.
Delmas. only when the long legal dis

Then Mr.. Jerome began an examination.
She could not say whether the two papers
were in the same condition as when she
signed them. That satisfied Mr.. jerome,
who objected to the papers being received
in evidence, saying that they were pre-
scented here two years after they had been
drawn and contained mterlineattons.
The defense said that the will would be

Afternoon Session.
When Evelyn Nesbit Thaw resumed her
testimony at the afternoon session there
was practically no change in her appear
ance. She faced room more crowded
than at any time since the trial began.
But the crowd inside was nothing 10 the
crowd that had been turned away from

and. were not grouped up near the judge.
The seats that had been occupied by the
Thaw family were filled by strangers all
afternoon. This also accounted for the
absence OF Edward Thaw from his usual
seat. When he got to the court he had
great trouble in getting in. and finally
found that his regular seat had been
taken. As it was practically impossible
for him 10 get a seat, he went away in no
pleasant frame Of mind Later I'm the
afternoon Josiah Tbaw managed 10 push
his way in and chair was found for
him.
Mr.. Delmas took up the thread of the
young Wom3n's story at the end of the
morning session by repeating the ques-
