 New York, Feb. 25.--Except for one brief moment Mrs, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw had decidedly easy day of it during the continuation of her cross examination by District Attorney Je- rome. When adjournment was taken the prosecutor announced that he had practically concluded with the witness. Mrs. Thaw will be temporarily excused tomorrow morning to enable MT Je- rome to introduce Abraham Hummel to identify photographic copy of the afti- dayit Evelyn Nesbit is alleged to have signed and which charges Thaw with many cruelties during their 1903 trip to Europe
 The district attorney got the con- tents before the jury this afternoon by reading certain of its statements in the form of questions, and asking Mrs. Thaw if she told such things to Mir. Hummel, In each instance she declar- ed she had not. She also denied ever having signed such an affidavit, admit ting that she had, however signed some papers for White in the Madison Square tower, of whose nature she was not aware.
 It was during the morning session that Mir. Jerome played his strongest card of the day. Mrs, Thaw had de- nied most positively that she had ever been to see Dr. Carlton Flint with Jack Barrymore.
 Jerome to court attendant. The doc- tor entered from the witness room, and was escorted to within few feet of the witness chair.
 Did you ever see that man before?" MT. Jerome asked
 The witness seemed just bit star tied, looked quickly and intently at the physician, then turned to MT Jerome, ! and shook, her head.

 Thaw was intensely interested in this incident, and when it was over he turn ed to the newspaper men sitting near est him and whispered.
 That man make mistake in eom- | ing here. He stood there liar. Do you catch the point-a liar"
 Mrs. Thaw was in much better spir- | it's when she took the stand to-day, and looked decidedly better physically than she did last week. She seemed thoroughly at home in the witness chair, and with a footstool and back cushion appeared quite comfortable. | She had all her witnesses about her, and did not fare at all badly at the hands of the district attorney, who was more gentle in handling the witness.
 Instead of further hurting the cause of her husband Mrs. Thaw managed to make two decided gains. When court adjourned last Thursday it appeared from her own statements that she had used a letter of credit from Stanford White while touring in Europe and had turned the letter over to Thaw. To-day she explained that Thaw took l the letter of credit from her. saying the money was poison, and that she nor her mother must touch it; and that he would provide them with funds. Whatever had been spent of the money, she declared was for her mother.
 The second point Mrs. Thaw made was concerning the cabegram which l Thaw is said to have sent to Stanford White from London It appeared Thursday that these cablegrams were requests to White to use his influence | in keeping Mrs. Nesbit from "raising a row." and interfering with Evelyn con- tinuing in company with Thaw. MT. Jerome took up the subject again to- day, but his questions elicited the in formation that the letters did not con- cern Mrs Thaw at all, but related to a mana secretary of the American le- gation-in London, whom Mrs. Thaw said had ''sneaked up to mammas bel- room and insulted her She said the man had also insulted her. and that | Thaw had gone in search of him but failed to find him.
 To-day's proceedings dragged a great deal, and it was evident long before he announced the fact that Mir Jerome was nearing the end of his cross-exam- ination.
 To-morrow's proceedings, with MT. Hummel on the stand, should be more interesting. The defense, on cross-ex- animation will attempt to discredit the witness, who is under indictment. Il may be late in the afternoon before Mrs. Thaw will again take the stand for MT. Jeromes final questions, which will have to do with the affidavit Should the defence desire to proceed with the redirect examination of Mrs Thaw, and MT. Jerome should take ur the re-cross examination, Mrs. Thaw may be kept upon the stand all ot Wednesday and Thursday. There may be an attempt, however, to interspers6 the last phases of her testimony with further statements from the experts.
 Mrs. William Thaw mother of the defendant and Mrs. Carnegie, his sis. ter, were in the courthouse to-day fol the first time in ten days Mrs ThaW has been suffering from a severe cold.
