Train No. s which left Chicago at
1880 last night met with an accident
at German Valley, ILL.,, at 3 a. m. to-

Thaw, wife of the man charged with
the numbering of Stanford White,
took the witness stand today in de-
fense of her husband and told the
story of her relations with Stanford
White.
The story was a simple narrative
told in girlish way and in its midst
the young woman broke down and
cried and could proceed only with diff
ficulty.
Her husband sat brave-faced for
while, then he, too, burst into tears
and buried his face in handkerchief.
He sat thus for some time. When he
again looked up his eyes were red
from weeping.

dent to Harry Thaw one night in Paris
late in 1903, when he had asked her
to become his wife, and she had told
him she could not. He pressed her
for reason and it was then that she
told him all. When she had concluded
she said he knelt beside her, picked
up the hem of her skirt, and kissed it..
She had been sent to school in New

that evening, Mrs. Thaw had suddenly
asked her husband for pencil, scrib-
bled few words and passed a folded
piece of paper to him. What was in
this note the witness did not know,
and he was not allowed, because of an
objection by the district attorney, to
testify as to what change of manner,
if any, it produced in Thaw.
1t has been reported from time to
time that it was in this note that
young Mrs. Thaw, referring to White,
wrote to her husband:
"That, B, blackguard, is here"

"that this note is now in the possess

We want to get at the contents of that
slip of paper, believing it to be mater

learned district attorney produce it,"
Jerome sat silent. He tugged at his
short, stubby moustache. There was
an absolute and dramatic stiffness in
the court room and Delmas stood
waiting and all eyes were turned on
the district attorney. He cont,Aued to
look at the floor. After waiting some
time Delmas resumed.
Won't Give Up Note.
II take it that the silence of the

Mrs. Thaw exclaimed: "My God,
he's shot," and then ooh, Harry, what
have you done, and why did you do
it?"
Thaw replied, 81 have saved your
life," and bent and kissed her.
On cross-examination, Jerome went
briefly into the past history of witness
McCaleb. He said he knew Thaw
