New York. Feb. 25.-During the con-
einuance today of his cross ss-examina-
tion OF Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, testifying
at the trial Of Harry K. Thaw for the
murder OF Stanford White. District At
torney Jerome confronted the witness
with DR. Carlton Flint, and asked if
She had not been to see him with Jack
Barrymore. Mrs. Thaw looked at the
doctor, who had been placed within a
few feet Of her, hesitated q moment,
then declared she had never seen the
man before. It vas one Of the most
dramatic scenes Of the trial.
At the conclusion of the morning ses-
sion OF court, Jerome seemed to have
made little progress today. altho the
cross-examination Is still far from
completion. AS Q matter OF fact, the
prosecutor enabled Mrs. Thaw to ex-.
plain a number sf things which ap-
peared very much against her, and de-
fendant last week With regard to
whites letter Of s.redit, which she had
in Europe, she declared she had not
been informed Of che letter until at sea
she. denied ever having used q penny
OF It herself but said her mother got it
all, Thaw turning It over to her. Thaw
declared the money was poison" With
regard to cabling white from London,
Mrs. Thaw declared it had to do with
her mother and an attache of the
American embassy in the English capi-
tai. This attache, she said, had
:.sneAked up TO her mothers bedroom:
and dnsulted her. Mrs. Thaw denied
the cablegrams had anything to do
with her going off to Europe with
Thaw.
New York, Feb. 25.-Evelyn Nesbit-
Thaw resumed the stand in the Thaw
case this morning. Mrs. Thaw looked
refreshed after her three days respite,
and answered the first questions put
to her confidently.
Jerome, as on the previous days of
his Cross examination, continued to
jump about from point to point in the
witness story.
More White Checks in Evidence.
Mrs, Thaw denied she had run away
from home with another girl before go
ing to Philadelphia She said it was
perhaps month after the drugging
In the Twenty fourth street house that
an account was opened for her in the
Amsterdam Bank by White. Jerome
continued to hold as a menace docu-
mentary evidence before the witness,
before answering his questions, in the
form Of an AFFIDAVIT from her mother.
A letter and envelope were shown Mrs.
Thaw, who identified the writing as
that Of White. The envelope was post
marked Boston, Jan. 20, 1902. It was
addressed to Charles Hartnett, Whites
private secretary, requesting him to
notify the Mercantile Trust Company,
when Evelyn was ready to start on her
vacation, to send her weekly checks for
oa5 and an additional check for 5000.
Introduction of this and several
checks signed by Evelyn and her moth
or refreshed Mrs. Thaw's memory to
the extent that she said she lived at the
Audubon apartments from Feb. 10 to
April /, 1902 Between April 1 and
April II, Mrs. Thaw and her mother
went to live at the Wellington. Jerome
spent some time in developing this
point and apparently attaches much
Importance to it. The checks were in
payment of hotel bills and were drawn
against q deposit made in the New
Amsterdam Bank by White to the joint
sgedit of Mrs. Nesbit and daughter.
First Meeting With Thaw.
Witness testified she first met Thaw
either in December, 1901, or January,
1902, at a dinner at Rector's, given by
Thaw. This dinner was after mat
inee and lasted perhaps an hour. She
was taken to She dinner by another
girl, The date of the next meeting
with Thaw she could not recall.

Mrs Thaw said that after her ac-

$50, with some flowers, but she re-
turned the money to Thaw. The next
time she saw Thaw she requested him
not to do such things again. He apol-
ogized She denied that her mother
made her return the money. Witness
said that she had often been to din
ner with George w. Lederer and Jack
Barrymore.
Mrs. Thaw was then confronted by
DR.. Carlton Flint. She denied posi-
lively that she had ever seen him be-
fore, or that she had gone to him with
Barrymore.
Justice Fitzgerald ruled out the
question when Jerome asked the wit
ness II White had not urged her to
have Barrymore arrested on a charge
of seduction.
In telling OF her trip to Europe, Mrs
Thaw said that she used only some of
whites letters Of credit. and 1t was
