Jerome Opens Up Another Pitiless
Questioning Of the Little Woman
About Her Life.


District Attorney Jerome continued
to lash EVELYN Nesbit Thaw under
pitiless cross examination Thursday.
No secret of the womans past was too
intimate for the district attorney TO
make her lay II bare He made her adj
NIT with tears that her associations
with White continued for several
months after she claimed TO have been
drugged.
Mrs. Thaw declared that in every in
stance she had been piled with wine.
AS the district attorney barred her story
Mrs. Thaw wept bitterly. Thaw sat
with his face buried in his hands. Two
newspaper women, used to the varying
scenes OF life, left the court room.
Jerome wanted every detail. Mrs.
Thaw tearfully told all.
Toward the close of the morning
session there came a new and great
surprise when Mr.. Delmas, of Thaw's
counsel, stated that threats by the dis
trict attorney to indict Mrs. Thaw had
been overheard in court. Jerome de-
MED any such statement had been
made in court. That was as far as he
would go.
Jerome says Mrs. Thaw's cross-ex-
animation cannot be finished in less
than day and half.
Mr.. Jerome called Attorney Hart

BIG STEAL.
Chicago Sub-Treasury Loses over
10000


The United States sub-treasury al
Chicago has been robbed of between
SITS, 900 and 100000. The robbery oc-
Cured some time last week.
The authorities there and in WASH
ington have been working night and
day on the robbery since it was dis
covered. Sub-Treasurer VIM. Bolden-
wick says the exact amount stolen is
$4,000.
The money was stolen either a week
ago Saturday. the next day, or the fol.
lowing Monday. The chances are Il
was distracted on Monday The loss
was discovered on Tuesday. All the
money was in large bills, OF the demon
nation OF $1,000, $4,000 and $4,000.
Just who discovered the loss the sub.
treasury officials would not admit. At
first it was believed there must have
been some error in the bookkeeping.
The ledger men involved strenuously
denied any error and an investigation
brought the inevitable conclusion that
robbery was the only explanation. Just
as certain was the deduction that the
thieves were employees of the sub
treasury and were at the moment pur
suing their daily tasks.
Every man who could have had any.
thing TO do with the case was called
into Treasurer Boldenwick's Office and
put through an exhaustive examination
and still more rigid cross-examna
ton.

he could not avoid the inevitable, and
death came six days later.
Mr.. Velsey's case was remarkable.
He started for an operation, though

reached the city. On his train was
