JEROME OBJECTS TO
DEFAMATION OF DEAD
Refers to Testimony of Chid-Wife as
"Tattle of the TenderIoin"--
Three of EveIyn's
Friends Arrested.

New York, Feb. S--For the first
time an intimation was given today
of the point, which if established, win
probably result in the acsuittal Of
Harry Thaw under the unwriuen law,
that Stanford White was unwilling TO
give up Evelyn. even after she had
become the wife Of Thaw and that he
sought-eyen after it had become eyi.
dent that she was trying to live down
her pitiful past TO drag her down
again to The depths from which she
had been lifted by her genuine love
for ThaW.
1t was only hint but it caused
every juror to bend forward with in
tensified eagerness. The little wife of
the prisoner had been on the grill all
morning, listening to much tiresome
wrangling over the admissbility Of
evidence and it was not until near
the noon adjournment that she was
able 10 give any testimony of real
weight
Aside from this little straw which
indicated the direction which a gale
may sweep down on the case of the
state. the most interesting testimony
of the morning session was the story
of the attempt by White assisted by
Lawyer Abe Hummel 70 denounce
Harry Thaw as blackmaler
While the intense dramatics of yes.
terday's proceedings were lacking to-
day, page OF the pathos in the life
of the witness was brought out by her
explanation of her failure TO wed
Thaw sooner-HER LOVE FOR HIM
BEING SO GREAT THAT SHE RE
FUSED TO HAVE HIM LAUGHED
AT, AS SHE BELIEVED HE WOULD
BE, IF HER OWN TARNISHED
NAME WERE LINKED WITH HIS.
Mrs. Thaw testified that othsr girls
had been wronged by Stanford White
the architect whom her husband slew
in Madison Square Garden last June
Mr.. Thaw testified that she had told
her husband Harry Kendall Thaw
the prisoner, thai other girls had met
the fate that was moicd out TO her
by the architect in his studio when
she was lG years old.

excitement through the court room
late in the day by jumping TO his feet
and vigorously protesting against

to limit such testimony until com.

concluded.
The question which called out

by Delmas and its purport was who
