The San Francisco call., 1907-02-10

trial is resumed Monday morning.
When court adjourned Friday it was
the intention of Attorney Delmas
again to have Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw continue the narrative of the
story upon which the prisoners life
may depend.
District Attorney Jerome had dra-
matically protested against any fur
ther defamation of the dead" just be-
fore the Friday adjournment was
taken and had been upheld by Judge
Fitzgerald in his contention that "a
broader foundation of insanity should
be laid" before "the loose tattle of the
tenderloin" should be spread upon the
records. The District Attorneys ref
erence was to the question Delmas had
put 10 Mrs. Thaw as TO whether she
and her husband had discussed together
the fate Of other girls at the hands of
Stanford White.
The courts ruling that the insanity
OF the defendant has not yet been suf-
hciently established TO admit bringing
in further details of his wife's testi-
mony may result in a temporary change
IN the line of evidence. The course to
be pursued Monday depends greatly
upon the attitude of District Attorney
Jerome, who declared he could have
offered legitimate objection to Mrs.
ThaW's testimony at the very outset.
on the ground that the alleged insan-
ity Of the defendant had not been es-
tablished, but had refrained from so
doing because Of the fact that he knew
the testimony as to her revelations to
Harry Thaw must come out some time.
MAY CHANGE TACTICS
II Jerome persists on Monday morning
in his objections TO the line of exam
instion indicated by DeImas's Ques-
tion as TO stories concerning young
women other than the wife of the de-
fendant. the prosecuting officer will be
asked TO temporarily excuse Mrs. Thaw
10 permit Of the introduction of evil
dence in accord with Justice Fitzger-
AIDS ruling. AS Jerome probably will
be glad Of the delay before he takes
up the difficult task Of cross-examin-
ing the young wife. he is expected TO
consent TO the plan.
In that event Delmas will first at
tempt TO get IN evidence Harry Thaw' S
viii, which was ruled out on Friday
because the many interlineations had
not been sufficiently proved.
Justice Fitzgerald held the viii must
be shown 10 have been in its present
condition when it was signed.
Delmas is very anxious to have the
viii 90 in evidence, believing it will go
further than any other documentary
proof he can produce TO show the effect
Evelyn Nesbit's story of her treatment
at the hands OF Stanford White had
upon the mind of the defendant.
Although counsel deny that the in
formation is altogether accurate. IL
leaked out today that one OF the pro-
visions in Harry Thaw's will is the set
ting aside of a sum OF $4,000 for the
prosecution Of all persons who may be
concerned in case OF the death of the
testator by violence. The probable in
stigator Of this anticipated act Of vio-
Ience is said to be revealed in the pro-
vision.
TO AID WHITES VICTIMS
Another paragraph, it is reported,
made provision for a fund for the ben
eft OF young women who, the VIII de-
clared, suffered treatment at the
hands Of the dead man similar TO that
OF his wife. The reports even go SO
far as to say that the names OF
Whites alleged victims are included in
the clause Of the will relating TO this
subject
Thaw's viii also made provision fol
Howard Nesbit. Evelyn's brother, who
il has been reported, would take the
stand in opposition TO his sister Young
Nesbit has been in constant attendance
at the trial in company with the late
Stanford Whites secretary, but never
has gone near the group Of Thaw's S
relatives. The rest of Thaw's prop
erty was TO go to his wife.
Delrnas, II is said, may call to the
stand on Monday an attorney from
Pi++sbl,rR who will be asked as to the
