MRS. THAW SWEARS
WHITE PURSUED HER
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.

Twenty-fourth street apartment, but to-
day she marched straight through the
whole narrative with scarcely an effort.
Studying her lace closely. it was pos
sible to get an idea of how she could
accomplish the marvel. 1t is a child's
face stiIl despite the sin on which it has
been turned. But t is more than that.
It is ? face over which events of trag-
edy that are big and vital in the lives
Of most people have marched, and may
well continue to march without leaving
a trace. It seemed like a crysIal-clear
pool OF water, which may reflect mo-
mentarily the faces of men who bend
above it but upon which the things which
IL reflects viii leave not single ripple.
All the things she told about were al
lowed TO go upon the record. like her
story of the day before, not because their
truth OF untruth is material, but because
she swore that she had told them all to
Harry Thaw and because it viii be the
contention of the defense that they con-
tributed largely to the circumstances that
drove him to insanity.
To this end. therefore. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw was allowed To tell how much In
love with her Harry Thaw became; how
he took her and her mother abroad
when she was to too weak TO walk; how
he shOwered upon her every attention
that a lover may offer the woman he
loves. And having built up this picture
of devoted affection, Mr. Delmas con-
tinued to add TO il yet other touches by
reading letters written to Evelyn Nesbit
ThaW, in which he continually calls her
poor iIl-adViSed angel, and reminds her
that he has always been respectful to-
ward her, and that no matter what hap
pens he will always be her true friend
They are odd letters. badly spelled
sometimes. fragmentarily written always,
with phrases of apparently sincere afIec-
ton interspeTsed with snatches Of words
that are entirely unintelligible. but Great
ing indubitably the impression that the
writer was still devotedly attached 10 the
girl To whom he wrQte them, despite past
sorrowful happenings to which he contin-
ually, ObScuTely refers
Turns Again 10 White.
The picture being wildly shown TO the
jury, Mr.. Delmas again turned to Stan
ford White and drew from the young
wife her story of how. after she had re-
turned from Europe, leaving Harry Thaw
there, Stanford White again found her
ont and told her dreadful things" about
the absent lover, among them that ne
was morphine fiend. and then sent TO
her other persons who told her more
dreadful things" about the man who
had twice asked her to marry him.
Led on by counsel, the witness added to
this further telling strokes that had to

said Hummel would protect her against
Thaw, she by that time having been led
10 believe these dreadful things" that
had been told her about the defendant.
Hummci. she said, urged her 10 sue HaT-
ry InaW for breach Of promise, saying
that there was lots of money IN it. and
when She declined 70 do so, told her that
she was very foolish and got very angry.
In connection with the HummeI incl
dent she told of a visit Mr. White made
20 her al the Hotel Navarro. when he ar
rived In great state of excitement and
walked up and down the room sort of
crying lit wasn't really crying. more like
whining, she said-and finally broke out
with, Child, what have you been telling
Abe Hummel about me?"
When she protested that she had not
told Hummel anything, Mr.. White re-
piled, she said:
enid, child, you must have told him
something. He's Just squeezed a thou
sand dollars out of me and the Lord only
knows how soon he'll squeeze another"
