Mr.. Jerome interrupted to ask: Whose
hands?' Mr.. Delmas replied: The hands of
Stanford White. Who else could it be-"
Mr.. Jerome, in a most earnest voice, then said:
Now 1 submit. If your honor please, Stan
ford White is dead. The laws do not permit us
TO controvert the truth OF single of these
statements. Are there no limits which the law
puts upon the condemnation which may be
thrown upon the dead? / object to this ques-
ton. 1t does not bear upon the case. and
have gone far enough this path. path
which cannot meet the defence according
10 the miserable, stringent rules OF evidence"
MIR. Delmas explained that the defence had
no desire to injure the reputation Of White any
more than could possibly be helped. The de-
fence. then, to support its contentious. tried TO
Introduce two documents bearing the I'M
soundness OF mind of Thaw. One was Thaw's

wedding and by three witnesses. The other

tained in them is not known. except that in the
codicn mention IN some way is made OF stan
ford White, Mr., Jerome. in having identifca-
tons made read his name.
COULDN'T GET WILL ACCEPTED.
Mr.. Delmas tried in devious ways to get the
documents in evidence Mrs. Thaw identified
them far the handwriting of Thaw was
concerned. Mr.. Delmas called Miss Frances e
Pearce. OF Philadelphia, who was witness
She could identify only her own signature. and
after Mr. Delmas tried in every way possible
to get the documents admitted gave it up, and
they were marked only for identification. Coun-
sci for the defence said after adjournment that
the lawyer who drew the documents would be
in court on Monday, and there would be little
trouble in getting the viii and codicu in evil
denCe.
When Mrs. Evelyn Thaw was recalled TO the
stand the first question asked her caused a
storm OF protest. It was:

Mr.. Jerome made another plea for decencv
urging that every effort should be made to pre-
vent dragging I'm the weird tales Of the Ten
derloin- They should not be allowed to besrnIrch
the memory Of him who is dead. It is a discre
ton that l submit should be exercised in behalf
or one who at least must assume TO have
been innocent. as ne cannot speak for himself
now"
Mr.. Jerome said he knew the defence could
force such testimony If 1t desired but urged
against 1t at this stage OF the case.
DELNTAS SCORES ON JEROME.
Mr.. Delmas said the defence would do its NJ
most to keep the case clean as possible He
got back" at Mr.. Jerome for the TenderIoin
reference by saying:
I have heard from the lips of the learned Dis
triet Attorney the words, the gossip Of the Ten
deroin.' Whatever technical meaning NAV be-
attached 10 those words. of course. he may be
familiar with. 1 surely am not presume
from the expression and the tone of voice in
which they are uttered. that # is the gossip Of
some disreputable district in this city"
Mr.. Demas moved for an adjournment to
which Mr.. Jerome agreed and Justice Fitzgerald
added that there just as much strain on the
to hold court to-day. but instead hearings will
be had throughout next week. including Tues
day Llncolns Birthday.
