The Notorious Dead Ra Cafe in Paris Figures in the Case Jerome Merciessly AssaiIing the Story Told By Mrs Thaw While Inc Latter's II Don't Remember
 BalkS Him al Times.

New York, Feb 21.-The prospect that District Attorney Jerome would develop more surprises when he con tinued the cross-examination of Eve lyn Nesbit Thaw this morning brought another big crowd to the court room where the trial of Harry Thaw is being held. Some time be- fore the hour for opening court the room was crowded to it's capacity and long line was waiting outside the door.
 Thaw entered the court room im- mediately after the jury without waiting to be formally called to the bar. His hair was mussed and his manner was eager and nervous. He carried large pad of paper and after taking his seat prepared to make notes of his wife's testimony.
 When Justice Fitzgerald had taken his place on the bench there was a conference among the attorneys and 1t was decided there would be no ses- sion tomorrow, Washtngton's birth day.
 When Mrs Thaw vas called to the bar she gave her usual glance at her husband and smiled. Then she turned to Justice Fitzgerald and smiled little bow to him. but the justice failed to notice her.
 MT Jerome consulted his notes at some length before beginning to question the witness and finally called her attention to her closing testimony on yesterday in order that she might pick up the strands of the story where they had been dropped upon adjournment.
 Did you continue to believe all women wefe unchasts ag Stanford White told you until you talked with Thaw in Paris in 1903?" asked MT Jerome.
 "Yes. sir." replied Mrs Thaw meek ly.
