Passengers in the observation car
on the rear Of a New York and st.

race between the train and big black
bear Tuesday, says the Altoona (Pa.)
correspondent of the Philadelphia

AS the train came round the horse

mountain and stopped in the road
which leads to Altoona, paralleling the
Pennsylvania main line for some dis
lance. Seeing the train coming to-
ward it. the bear turned and fed city
ward as fast as its legs could carry
its great bulk. Passengers crowded
to the rail for better view. The
bear had a good start and made fast
time, but the limited left it in the rear.

NEVER POSED IN THE NUDE
Jerome Has Letters, but He Does Not
Produce Them.

Jerome questioned the witness about
her manner of posing for artists, and
brought from her a denial that she
ever posed in the nude He did not
mince words. Many photographs Of
Mrs. Thaw were introduced in evil
dence. Jerome during the morn
ing session piled the young woman
with questions written to her by Stan
ford White. Some, she said, had been
destroyed, and some she had given 10
her husband. In the midst Of the dis
trIct attorneys examination with re-
gard to the letters, and when he was
pressing for an answer as to what had
become Of some of them, Thaw leaned
far over and whispered to his counsel
in voice audible to those nearest him:
Stanford White stole them" At
torney O'Reilly thereupon said aloud:
stanford White got them"
IF counsel desires to testify we will
be very glad to have him to do it,
Jerome remarked sarcastically.
Later Jerome indicated that he had

New York, Feb. 21.-In continuing

fact that in 1902 Stanford White de-
posted the sum Of $3.50 with a New
York Trust company with instructions
that 1t should be paid to the Nesblt
girl at the rate of S25 a week. Mrs.
Thaw frankly admitted receiving a
number of checks from the trust com
pany. but she would not admit that
there was provision that she should
receive the money only when out OF
employment. The prosecutor spent
nearly the entire afternoon in trying
to make Mrs, Thaw admit that this
was true, but as often and in as many
ways as he put the question to her

Did Not Spare the witness.

Mrs. Thaw's inability to remember a
number Of other things about which
jerome questioned her was by far the
most material element in the cross
examination The district attorney
dclved into the witness past life with
familiarity as to details and a store
of general knowledge which at times
seemed to amaze all who heard, not
excepting the defendants lawyers
themselves. Jerome indicated early in
his questioning that he had no dispo-
sltion to spare Mrs. Thaw's feelings in
any way whatsoever. He Intercepted
her most pointedly as to her men ac-
quaintances of the past. He laid spe-
cial stress upon her acquaintanceship
with James A. arland, who figured
for the first time in the case.
