Yesterday in Thaw Case.
New York, Mar. 18.-After fighting
an hour and a half against the intro
duction in evidence of the notorious
affidavit drawn by Abraham H. Hum
mel, at the request of Stanford White
and with the alleged consent of Eve
Ign Nesbit, charging Thaw with hav-
ing cruelty heated Miss Nesbit on sew
eral occasions, during their trip thru
Europe in 1903, Delmas suddenly
switched his tactics during the Thaw
trial today and demanded that the
whole Oh the alleged affidavit go into
the record and be read to the jury.
Jerome had contemplated reading on
ly portions of it, which he declared
directly contradicted the testimony
of young Mrs. Thaw. With the read
ing of the affidavit Jerome
ed that the people rested their Ease
in rebuttal.
Delmas Immediately offered in evil
dence the record in the trial of Abra-
ham Hummel upon the charge of con-
spiracy. The district attorney did not
object. and the defendants lawyer
proceeded to read the entire record
The Hummel affidavit had already
been discounted by the statement of
its contents by Jerome at various
times during his arguments as to it's
a~dmissibility, Jerome had also freely
quoted from the affidavit during his
cross examination of young Mrs. Tnaw
and she then denied emphatioally hav
ing made any of the statements con-
tanned in the paper.
The affidavit specifies numerou
occasions in Austria, Switzerland and
Paris when Thaw is alleged to have
beaten the young woman who was
travelling with him as his wife, until
she swooned. Her bare skin, she de-
clared had been bruised and cut by
the lashings of Tnawis cow-aide whip.
Delmas had not reached Jerome's
words at the Hummel trial when the
luncheon recess was AIKEN. It was to
get these words that Delmas under
took to read the entire record of the
trial.
When Hummel was on the witness
stand he denied absolutely that in
drawing the afidavit he was acting
counsel for Miss Nesbit. In the
affidavit as cad today, and which
Hummel said he dictated, he has
times. At one place she is reported
to say: Il have received several let

A WORD ABOUT THE
GARFIELD INTERVIEW

From Las vegas optic.
Regardless of the fact that the in
terviews given out by Mr.. Will c.
Barnes of this city. in which he quoted
Secretary Garfield, has been denied
by a Washington correspondent, the
Optic takes pleasure in saying that
after a careful investigation, it has
found that Mr.. Barnes was justified
in every particular in making the
statements he did. We are absolutely
certain hat Mr.. Barnes interviewed
Secretary Garfield and that the secre-
tary made the remarks accredited to
him. When these dispatches were re-
ceived the Optic made an effort 10
find Mr.. Barnes, but unfortunately he
was out of the city. Like all tele-
graphic news that comes from regu-
lar sources, it was published. That
Secretary Garfield used the words
quoted in Mr.. Barnes correspondence
there was never a doubt, but it was
quite possible that the talk was not
intended for publication. But wen
this is no longer a matter of uncer-
tainty. Mr.. Barnes had absolute au-
thority to quote Mr.. Garfield, and ais
action has since e e approved by
that official.
