interlineations made in the will, and is
expected to prove they were put there
at the time the testament was signed
Failing to show that each one or the
interlineations can be remembered by
the witness, Delmas will offer the codl-
Gil to the will. which is in the defend
ants own handwriting without inter
lineations.
II is not definitely known whether all
the references to Stanford White are
in the codicil, but it is known some
Of them are. Evelyn Thaw also signed
a will on the night of the wedding,
and ii is believed that in 1t she carried
out her previous stipulation that none
of her relatives save her brother should
have any of his money. Several OF
Thaw's unusual and disconnected let
ters introduced in evidence. have fire.
quently referred to his determination
that Evelyns mother should not have
any share in his property whatsoever.
In the event of his wife's death the
property should revert to the William
Thaw estate.
If the will is finally admitted In evil
dence Delmas will then ask to recall
Mrs. Thaw to finish her narrative.
OBJECT TO INTERRUPTION
Thaw's counsel do not like the idea
of the interruption to her story con-
tinuing over any considerable duration
of time Should Jerome again protest
the several alienists employed by the
defense, other than DR.. Wiley, will be
placed on the stand They will be
shown Harry Thaw's letters to his law
yer and his wife, and theQe will be con-
fronted by a hypothetical question en-
bracing the wife's story of her expert
ence with Stanford White. the other de-
tails surrounding the case, and ulti-
mately the shooting of White on Madi-
son Square Garden roof. Attorneys for
the defense will have broader found
alton for the hypothetical question
when its next alienist is put on the
stand and do not anticipate the disas-
ter Of the first day.
1t was said tonight that District At
torney Jerome's cross examination OF
Mrs. Thaw will be brief. The District
Attorney, being barred by the rules OF
evidence from attempting to controvert
any of the things Mrs. Thaw says she
told her husband, will confine himself
to finding out if she told Harry Thaw
all the story she repeated on the wit
ness stspd. If he can trip the witness
into an admission that she might not
have related some particular detail to
the defendant before the killing OF
Stanford White, Jerome may ask that
all of her testimony, from first to last,
be stricken out In that event, how
ever, she might again be called and go
over the ground again. Tt is thought
to be certain that no attempt will be
made to offset any of her testimony by
calling chorus girls or others who
might be expected to know something
about the events related.
TEXT OF WILL WITHHELD
Counsel for Thaw today not only
declined to make public the text of the
will, but declared that the alleged pro-
visions of it were inaccurate.
Evelyn Thaw visited her husband to-
day in the Tombs. She was accom-
panied by Peabody and Gleason Of
Thaw's counsel and the four had long
conference. Mrs. Thaw appeared to be
in high spirits today. Her husband
also seemed to be IN a pleasant mood
but would not discuss the progress OF
his trial.
Some OF the jurors are beginning to
chafe under the close restraint in
which they are held. They are denied
practically every liberty and are per
mitted to leave the hotel for exercise
only when all twelve wish. to GO. Their
they are taken out under close guard
This condition resulted today in what
developed into a rather unpleasant dis
agreement between the twelve men
About half the number wanted to &c
out for a walk during the forenoon, as
they missed the usual walk down to the
Criminal Courts building. The others
had no desire to go out. They were
weary as a result of the trying days In
