Damaging Confessions.
There were other confessions which,
while damaging to her own character,
accentuated all the more the terrible
personal sacrifice she is making in the
effort to save her husband from death
in the electric chair.
After bringing out that her relations
| with White continued for some time,
Mr.. Jerome went deeper. Mrs. Thaw
admitted that in 1908, after the return
from Europe, she spent the night at
| Thaw's apartments in New York, and
that for three weeks he and she occu-
pied connecting apartments at the
Grand hotel in this city.
Defendant in Bad Light.
Mrs. Thaw made what was consider
| ed her most damaging statement to
| the defendant when she said he had
showed her copies of cablegrams that
were being sent to Stanford White
| from Europe, asking him to use his in
| f1uence with a certain man in London
to prevent Mrs. Nesbit from raising
fuss" and interfering with Evelyn con
| tinuing in the company of ThaW.
Mrs Thaw also was forced to admit
that when she and her mother went
abroad with Thaw in 1908 they were
still drawing upon the bounty of Stan
| ford White.
Gay Life in Paris.
A letter written by Mrs. Thaw in
1904 and telling of her gay life in Paris
with Harry Thaw and a bunch from
| the Tenderloin" was read to the jury
| by Mr.. Jerome. This brought out
more testimony as to the Dead Rat

Court adjourned until Monday.

that he had practically concluded with

Denies Signing Affidavit
Mrs. Thaw denies having made the
charges contained in the affidvit, and
denied having signed such an affidavit,
although she admitted having signed

nature of which she did not know.
Mr.. Jerome played his strongest
| card of the day al the morning SEES
| sion. He confronted the witness with
| DR.. Carlton Flint and asked i she had
not been to see him with Jack Barry
more. Mrs. Thaw declared she had
| never seen the man before.
Makes Two Good Gains.
Instead Of further hurting the cause
of her husband Mrs. Thaw managed to
make two decided gains. When court

| from her own statements that she had
| used a letter Of credit from Stanford
| White while touring Europe and had
| turned the letter over to Thaw Yes

neither she nor her mother would
