TESTIMONY ABOUT BARRYMORE

In the continuance of his cross
examination of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
at the trial of her husband, Harry
K. Thaw, for the killing of Stanford
White, District Attorney Jerome to-
day laid many pitfalls for the witness,
but she avoided nearly all of them.
Young Mrs. Thaw was emphatic in
her denials of many questions by the
district attorney which limited at
things in her past life which she
might not care to have revealed.
These questions were particularly
pointed with reference to her asso-
citation with George w. Lederer, the
theatrical manager, and Jack Barry
more, the actor.
NEW YORK, February 25.-During the
continuance today of his cross-examina-
ton of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, testifying in
the trial of Harry X. Thaw for the MUIR
der of Stanford White, District At
torney Jerome confronted the wit
ness with DIR. Carlton Flint, and asked
If she had not been to see him with Jack
Barrymore. Mrs. Thaw looked at the doc
tor, who had been placed within a few
declared she had never seen the man be-
fore. 1t was one OF the most dramatic in
cidents of the trial.
At the conclusion Of the morning ses-
sion Of the court Mr.. Jerome seemed to
have made little progress today, although
completed. AS a matter of fact, the pros ,
ecutor enabled Mrs. Thaw to explain a
number of things which appeared very
much against her and the defendant last
week. With regard to Stanford Whites
letter of credit which she had in Europe.
she declared she had not been informed
of the letter until at sea. d,
Mother Got It All.
She denied ever having used any of
it herself, but said her mother had got 1t
all, Thaw turning 1t over to her. Thaw
declared the money was poison"
With regard to the cabling to Stanford
White from London, Mrs. Thaw declared
1t had to do with her mother and an at
tache Of the American embassy in the
English capital. This attache, she said,
had "sneaked up to my mothers bed room
and insulted her." Mrs. Thaw denied that
the cablegrams had anything to do with
her going off to Europe with Thaw.
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was called to
the stand today as soon as the judge had
taken his place on the bench, and without
any preliminary statement District Attor-
ney Jerome plunged into the cross-exam-
nation. Mrs. Thaw looked refreshed after
her three days respite and answered the
first questions put to her confidently. Thaw
brought with him from the Tombs several
packages of letters and papers.
Mr.. Jerome, as on the previous days OF
his cross-examination, continued to jump
about from point to point an the witness
story. He first asked her IL she had not
had trouble with her mother in Allegheny,
Pa, before going to Philadelphia to iive-if
she had not run away with girl.

Mrs. Thaw replied in the negative. Mr..
Jerome's next question was:
