at great length, asking Mrs. Game to
detail every time she saw and talked
either 1yrr7 he W. or hn h.
er or Thaw himself. He endeavored to
bring out the fact from the witness
that on the second trip Harry Thaw
and Evelyn made to Europe, Evelyn's
was in 1904. Mr.. Delmas objected
strenuously to this line of cross ex-
animation, but Justice Fitzgerald up
held the district attorney, who dec1ar-
ed he was not indirectly attacking the
credibility of Mrs. Thaw, but was
testing the credibility of the witness,
Mrs. Game.

declaring the movements of young
Mrs. Thaw's mother could not consti-
tute evidence against the defendant.

and you SO often saw Mr. Thaw, do
you know where he lived?" asked Mr..
Jerome
You never heard?"

lawyers, Mr.. Delmas. withdrew his OBJ
