THIRD LOSS TO MRS. BASSETT
Judge Rsdiok Refuses to Enioin husband
from Getting Other Children.
THREE SUCCESSIVE DEFEATS FOR WOMAN
First Loses Case for Divorce, Then
Custody of Eldest Child and
Now Motion for This
Injunction

81 refuse &c prepare any such decree.
They've got everything and they can pre-
pare It,"
This was the statement hurled at the
court by Attorney Irving F. Baxter, when
Judge Redick had refused Saturday morn
ing to issue an injunction against Charles
c. Bassett, leading figure in the famous
divorce case, preventing him from going to
Denver and taking possession of his little
daughter now in the care Of Mrs Bassetts
sister.
The question of this injunction was left
over from the main part of the case and the
decree was not drawn up pending the
settlement Of this matter. Attorney John
+. Stout appeared Saturday morning for
Mr.. Bassett and Attorney Baxter for Mrs,
Bassett. Attorney Baxter read other de-
cisions showing that the court has the
power to make an order of this nature,
which will be binding on the parties even
though they are not now in the state. At
torney Stout had no strenuous objections
to offer, but insisted that If the injunction
issued against Mr. Bassett, It should also
pertain to Mrs. Bassett.
The court conceded that he had the power
10 make the order and that It would be
binding on the parties to such an extent
that II they disobeyed IT they might be
tried for contempt II they ever came within
the state again. However, as no showing
had been made while the parties were here
why such an order should be issued, the
court refused 20 issue 1t.
This is the third hard blow TO Mrs
Bassetts cause as tried In this county.
First, her petition for a divorce was dis
missed on the ground that the decree
secured by her husband in Washington was
valid. Then she lost her eldest child. who
was awarded to Mr.. Bassett and now she
| is denied order which might prevent Mr.
| Bassett from getting possession Of the
/ child in Denver or the one in Oklahoma.

Determined.

NEW YORK, March i6-"Thank God. the
end is in sight" This was the fervent
whisper Of District Attorney Jerome at the
Thnw trial yesterday
Mr.. Jerome did his best to get from Mr..
Deirpas an estimate on the length Of time
that would be required to complete the sur
rebuttal. but Thaw's lawyer declined 10
give any suggestion on this line. II is
generally believed, however that Monday
and Tuesday will see the close OF evidence
and Wednesday and Thursday will be used
in summing up. There is every reason to
believe that Friday will put the fate Of
Harry * Thaw in the hands OF the Jury.
unless some unexpected development 90
ours.
The alleged afhdavit which Mr. Jerome
fought so hard to get into the evidence
will probably be read in court Monday
Lawyer Hummel testified early yesterday
as to its entirety and through other wit
nesses Mr.. Jerome established the fact
that Photographic and carbon copies OF
the afldRvit were IN existence. He then
asked that the afidavit be read, but Law
yer Delmas for the defense objected. as
time for adjournment had come. 1t is not
thought that Mr.. Delmas will object to its
reading on Monday.
The affdavit purports 70 give Evelyn
Nesbits story of the wanderings Of her
self and Thaw on the continent, during
which time, according to the paper, Thaw
beat her several times in an EFFORT to make
her swear to a document charging White
with having drugged and attacked her
when she was a girl OF Is The affidavit
also declares that Evelyn Nesblt submitted
to the lsshlngs declaring that White had
never wronged her. a sworn statement in
direct contradiction TO her story on the
stand Of what she told Thaw in Paris.
Henry c. McPike OF counsel for Thaw
made application at the supreme court to-
day for several additional subpoenas in the
Thaw case. He declined to make known
tho names Of the witnesses wanted.
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw, Mrs. William Thaw
and the countess OF Yarmouth visited
Harry Thaw in his cell today and remained
with him for long time. On leaving Mrs
Thaw said: Harry is looking fine and
feeling as good as he looks"
1t was learned that Thaw was confident
of the result of his trial and satisfied Will
its progress.
