The affidavit proved a surprise only j M
the alleged severity of, the assaults
, Harry Is. Thaw Is said to have madN

, through Europe IN 1909, when, acco g

Affidavit Contradicts Hummel.
" The affidavit was in some ways N a
direct contradiction of Hummel's re-
cent testimony upon tho stand,
, In order that the defense might not
prevent him from telling the story az
tho making of the affidavit. he stated
positively that he was not acting as
MISS Nesbits attorney when he drew
{ up the document; that he was acting
solely in the inteNsss OF Stanford White,
and that no legal action was contem-
plated in behalf OF tho young woman
who Is now Harry ,riaws wife,
There was considerable surprise, con,
s sedusntly, when Mr.. Jerome to-day read
/, the opening words of the affidavit, which
+ We're: aS@

a Nesbit's attorney, she being reported
~ to have said. ~
