 Mrs. Thaw declared that Harry Thaw had accused her once of nav- ing had improper relations with stan ford White alter Ter return to the United States, but sine had told him fl Is a lie; have not"
 She said Stanford White had tried to kiss her and had begged her to come to see him alone, but she would not. He had then visited her on pre- text that 1t was matter of life and death and had conspired with Abe Hummel. the lawyer, to procure her assistance in keeping Harry Thaw out of New York, and away from her.

 Mrs. Thaw testified that Stanford White made several attempts to re- new friendship with her after her marriage to Thaw. She told her hus- band and he was very angry.

 T appeal to your honor" said the district attorney. that this has gone far enough. Are there no limits to which the defamation of the dead may go? The prosecution has no chance to controyert one word of this testi- mony and Stanford White Is dead"

Delmas i've contend that in proving the state of this mans mind. we have the undoubted right to introduce evidence which tends to show that fresh fuel was added to the fire in things the defendant heard from other sources. We will producs documentary evil dence executed by Thaw himself showing his condition. l have no more desire to defame the dead than the living and I believe my conduct of this examination has shown this. l have no desire to say one word against the memory of Stanford White that my duty does not compel me to say. My duty is to the living.
