on a visit to New York from Pittsburg

street. he would either call out

treated for throat trouble. She tole
her husband utter each occurrence. anG
Thaw always became very agitated, bi
his finger nails and looked excited.
Relate to the jury how you came te

Also tell what your relations to Jack

Il met Barrymore when l was with
the Wild Rose company, at the knick-
erbocker theater. White gave din

asked to attend, and went there to meet
his friends at the party. Barrymore
was there
Mrs. Thaw privately mentioned the
names of the members OF this party to
Jerome. and at this point, recess was
taken.
The Afternoon Session.
| Mrs. Thaw resumed the stand at the
beginning of the afternoon session. She
said when she told White of Jack"
Barrymore's invitation he became very
angry and said he would send her
away TO school to New Jersey. She
continued in detail at some length as
to her relations with Barrymore and
being sent to school
TT all came about thru a quarrel be-
tween White, my mother and myself
over Barrymore. One afternoon In
Madison Square garden Barrymore
said to me: Evelyn, will you marry
me-? / answered I don't know White
asked me If / would marry Barrymore
and said. If kids like you get married
what would you have to live on?' Ev-
cry day after that, when l would meet
my mother she would ask me If l in
tended to marry that little pup Barry
more saying White was afraid 1
would. White then came to see me and
said l would be very foolish to marry
Barrymore; said Barrymore was lit
tie bit crazy that his father was in an
asylum, and he thought the whole fam
lily was touched. He was certain Bar
rymore would be crazy in few years.
Barrymore asked me the second time IL
I would marry him. Again I said. I
don't know The upshot of the whole
matter was that White came and said
1 ought to be sent to school, and

Jerome Has Kick.
after you told Thaw what happened
between White and you in 1901. did you
ever have any conversation with him
in which he told you what happened to
other young girls who had met similar
fates at the hands of that man?" asked
Delmas.
What man?" interrupted Jerome.
"Why, Stanford White" replied Del
mas in loud tone, who else?"
II appeal to your honor" said the
district attorney, that this has gone
far enough. Are there no limits to
which defamation of the dead may go?
The prosecution has no chance to con-
trovert one word of this testimony, and
White is dead"
Your honor" replied Delmas, I'VE
contend in proving the state of this
mans mind we have the undoubted
right to introduce evidence which tends
to show that fresh fuel was added to
the fire in things the defendant heard
from other sources. We will produce
documentary evidence, executed by
Thaw himself, showing his condition.
have no more desire to defanle the
dead than the living. believe my con-
duct Of this examination has shown
this. 1 have no desire to say one word
against the memory of White that my
duty does not compel me to say. My
duty is to the living"
To this Jerome replied: $50 far we
have not the slightest evidence in this
unsound mind in his life submit
that this is a matter which comes we'll
within the discretion of the court If
there is evidence of the insanity Of
defendant, it should be introduced now,
before this loose tattle of the Tender
loin goes on, tattle that under the law
we are not allowed to controvert.''
Justice Fitzgerald said:
IF the court has any discretion in
this matter, it is anxious to exercise it.
The suggestion of the district attorney
seems to be a good one. I would sug-
gest this is the proper time for the in
PRODUCTION of evidence counsel refers
to-"
Fitzgerald explained to the jury the
provision of the law which, in cases
where insanity is pleaded as defense,
prevents the prosecutor from contro-
verting any statements which have
been made to this effect, whether true
or not Delmas then began the intro
duction of a number of papers and
documents Mrs Thaw was excused
temporarily. to allow Miss Frances E.
Pierce to be called to identify her sig
nature as witness to papers.
On objection of Jerome, the wills of
both Mr.. and Mrs. Thaw executed the
day of their marriage, were ruled out
of evidence for the time being, because
of numerous interlineations and addi-
lions which had not been properly
proven. The defense noted an excep-
ton.
Mrs Thaw, on resuming the stand,
testified she told Thaw that other girls
met fate similar to hers thru White.
The Thaw case was adjourned UNI
til Monday.
