Assscaated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Feb. 20-There was a
great rush of curious persons anxious
to see Evelyn Nesbit Thaw under the
ordeal of cross-examnation of the
criminal courts building this morning,
but only those provided with special
credentials from the court were per-
mitted to enter the room where the
trial of Harry X. Thaw is in progress.
Even under these restrictions, how
ever, every available seat was occupied
as the court convened.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was immediate
ly recalled that Jerome might con-
tinue his cross-examination. She was
dressed precisely as she has been on
every day since the trial began. That
Jerome does not intend to spare Mrs.
Thaw's feelings was shown today by
his close questioning as to the exact
manner OF her posing for artists. He
did not mince words. The district at
torney began by showing Mrs. Thaw
photograph of herself taken in a
kimono and asked If she could recall
the date of the picture. She said it
was in 1904.
Jerome by his next few questions
indicated that he did not intend to
spare the feelings of the young wo-
man in any way. He interrogated her
sharply as to the details of her dress

Washington, Feb. 20. - Senator
Hansbrough Of North Dakota support
ed resolution depriving Senator
Smoot Of his seat and in brief speech
today, vigorously assailed Mormon
ism.
Mormon managers, he said, had sent
Reed Smoot to represent the church
in the senate, thus furnishing "an.
other sample of brazen effrontery in
defying the country's sentiment rela-
tive to the obnoxious institution for
which they are responsible"
In no ordinary community of the
country would the Mormon church be
welcomed. In a like manner, the in
stitution should not seek admission
to the senate until it had purged it.

ing to Hansbrough, made it a'menace
to civilization" and at the same time
take its place among the religious
societies against which the moral SEN
timent of the country was not in re-

The North Dakota senator urged
the "unwritten law embraced in the
inherent duty of every citizen of the
republic to defend the written in
strument from assaults of those who
would destroy it," 3s the best means
of coping with the Mormon problem.
He announced himself in full accord
with religious federation, but had no
sympathy with the members of ian
oath-bound organization arraying
. themselves in the livery of heaven in
order to gain control of temporal af-
fairs"
The Mormon scheme of salvation, he
said, was based on success in attain
ing political control. No better time
than the present, he concluded, could
be chosen to render a verdict against
the church.
