TELLS OF HIS CRUELTES

New York, Feb. 25.-Except for one brief moment, Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw had a decidedly easy day of 1t
 today during the continuation of her cross examination by District Attorney Jerome.
 When adjournment was taken, the prosecutor announced that he had prac- tically concluded with tho witness. Mrs Thaw will be temporarily excused tomorrow morning to enable MT. Je- rome to introduce Abraham Hummel
 to identify a photographic copy of the affidavit Evelyn Nesbitt Is alleged to have signed and which charges Thaw with many cruelties during their 1903 trip to Europe. The District Attorney got the contents of the affidavit before the jury this afternoon by reading cer- tain of it's statements in the form of questions, and asking Mrs. Thaw If she told such things to MT Hummel In each instance. she declared she had not. She also denied ever having signed such an affidavit, admitting that she had however, signed some papers for White in the Madison Square, of whose nature she was not aware. It was during the morning session that MT. Jerome played his strongest card of the day. Mrs. Thaw had denied , most positively that she had ever been to see Dr. Carlton Flint with Jack Barrymore.
 Call Dr. Flint" commanded Mr.
 Jerome.
 The doctor entered from the witness
 room and was escorted to within a few feet of tho witness chair. ~Did you ever sec that man before?" Mr. Jerome asked Mrs. Thaw. The witness seemed just bit | startled. looked quickly and intently
 at the physician. then turned to MT. T1r I ,I,r AIr ha- Never she declared.
 Thaw was intensely interested in 1 this incident and when it was over he | turned to the newspaper men sitting nearest him and whispered: That man made a mistake in coming
 here. He stood there liar. Do you | catch the point--a liar?"
 Mrs. Thaw was in much better spirits h.today and locked dectdetf1y better phy> l sically than she. did last week. She seemed thoroughly at home in the wit | ness chair and had all her wits about | her and did not fare at all badly at the hands of the District Attorney, who l was more gentle in handling the wit ness
 Instead of further hurting the cause
 of her husband. Mrs. Thaw managed to make two decided gains. When court adjourned last Thursday 1t appeared from her own statements that she had received a letter of credit from Stan ford White while touring in Europe
 and had turned the letter over to Thaw. Today, she explained that Thaw took the letter of credit from her. saying the money was poisonous" and neith- CT she nor her mother should touch 1t,
 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 cablegrams which | Thaw is said to have sent to Stanford l White from London. It appeared ! Thursday that these cablegrams were | requests of White to use his influence | In keeping Mrs. Nesbitt from raising row and interfering with Evelyn | continuing in company with Thaw. Mir.
 Jerome took up the subject again to- | day, but his questions elicited the in- l formation that the letters did not con | Ccrn Mrs. Thaw at all but related to a | mana secretary of the American em- | bassY--in London, whom Mrs. Thaw
 said had "sucaked up to mama S room , and insulted her" She said the man l had also insulted her, and that Thaw
 had gone in search of him but failed to l find him.
