During the whole of the time his
wife was on the stand Thaw had not
taken his eyes from her until this
portion of her testimony was reached.
Then he buried his face in a hand
k~erchief, and his body shook with
emotion. His eyes were tear stained
and red when he next looked up.
Whites subsequent conduct, as re-
lated by Mrs. Thaw, was cynical in
the extreme. In spite Of this confess
sion Thaw insisted that he would
marry her if she would love him, de-
claring that NO one could blame her
for her misfortune. They quarreled,
and she came back to New York.
By a most adroit maneuyre of the
defense all this astounding story told
by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was intro
duced in the guise of information i'm
parted by her to Thaw. AS such it
was admissible only as tending to
demonstrate it's influence upon the
sane or insane condition of his mind
at a later period.
Just before the midday recess was
reached and after Mrs. Thaw had told
of the struggles of her earlier life,
how she had eventually come to pose
for artists and then went on the
stage, Mr.. Delmas tried to get into
evidence a letter Thaw wrote and
gave to Miss Nesbit, addressed to F.
w. Longfellow, his legal adviser in
this city. After recess, by a series of.
adroit moves, Mr.. Delmas succeeded
in having the letter admitted as tend
ing to show the condition of Thaw's
mind after the confession the girl had
made to him. 1t was a rambling
communication, and to it was pinned
another slip of paper, on which "a
written: Up. S.-If you can't read
this, don't trouble"
In the third letter admitted and
read, Thaw spoke of the strain he
was under, and gave evidences of it
in many rambling. almost incompre-
hensible statements.
