Rurnn ana Picric Aoia.

DR.. Thierry, one Of the surgeons IN
attendance at the Paris Charity hospi.
tai, was In the habit of using picr.c
acid as an antiseptic, and his hand,
were therefore impregnated with the
solution. One day in lighting a clsa
rette portion OF the burning matci.
fell on his hand; but, instead OF Zee!
Ing It, he did not notice the slightest
pain. A short time afterward. while
In the act Of sealing a valuable letter
a portion of the burning wax stuck to
bis finger, and. though it cauterIzel
the skin, 1t was no more painful to him
than If It had fallen on an armored
glove of steel. This curious lack o.
feeling set the doctors wits to WORK.
and he soon arrived at the conclusion
that the acid had, to use his own
words, acted upon the tissues ana
frightened them. He then began a Sc.
ries Of experiments in treating burns
with a saturated solution of pIcrlc
acid. In every case he treated all pain
was instantly suppressed.-PhiladeI.

aELYN SNEsBlT THAW. :S2.

Jssiee From Certain admissions Re-
aarding Her Relations With Stan
ford White and With Her Husband
III Before Their Marriage the Prosecu-
tion Fails 70 Shake Her Story as
Told on Direct Examination
New York, Feb. 26.--District Attor-
neyS Jerome has finished his long
cross-examination of Mrs. Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw at the trial OF her husband
on the charge of having murdered
Stanford White. Mrs. Thaw had been
under the district attorneys fire for
nearly five court days. His conclud-
ing questions had to do with what the
witness observed as to ThaW's man
ner when he would chance to meet
White. She said he acted as person
in fit. @ I'D s s4:'
Mrs. Thaw said her husband would
remember the meetings and talk OF
them. From Christmas, 1903, until
he shot White he believed the archi-
tect had set the Monk Eastman gang
upon him. He constantly feared
White and said he was being perse-
cuted by him. 2
Mr.. Jerome called Abraham H
Hummel to the stand to question him
regarding the affidavit Evelyn Nesbit
is alleged to have made against ThaW,
in his Office. Beyond the fact that the
girl went to the lawyers, Office and
that he dictated to a stenographer
while she was there the district at
torney was powerless to bring out
lanything more because of the contin-
ued objection of Mr.. Delmas.
Justice Fitzgerald upheld the objec-
tions on the ground that collateral
testimony cannot be taken to discredit
the witness: ..7' = &
At the conclusion of her cross-ex.
animation Mrs. Thaw was recalled by
Mr.. Delmas for redirect examination.
Evelyn Thaw's Story Intact.
To the observer it is not evident
that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's1 story has
been broken to any great extent. The
cross-examination brought out the
fact that Evelyn Nesbit lived with
Thaw as his wife for a year and a
half before they were married, but
there was no attempt made to con
ceai this fact. Mrs. ThawRf admitted
It without quibble. She also admitted
that her relations with White contin-
ued for several months after her al
legged ravishment. She also admitted
White in her name asking him to in
terfere to prevent her mother from
making trouble while she and Thaw
were travelling together in Europe. q
Aside from these admissions, how
aver, her story stands practically as
she told it on her direct examination.
Occasionally Mr.. Jerome succeeded in
inducing her to make her statements
more positive, but he was unable to
induce her to fix dates with any GER
tainty. On these matters her memory
proved to be very bad. ..1r.i.,s,s q =.
That Mr.. Jerome will attempt to
controvert many OF her statements
seems probable. He has confronted
her with Or. Carlton Flint, whom she
declared she had never seen before.
Mr.. Jerome several times asked her if
| 1t were not true that she had gone to
DR.. Flint with Jack Barrymore and
she denied that she had. !: It is also
said that MI. Jerome will place on
the stand several chorus girls and
others who knew Of the relations be-
tween Miss Nesbit and Stanford.
