Thaw case this morning.
sHummel is the lawyer who drew up
The affidavit to which Evelyn Nesbit is
said to have sworn, and which charged
Thaw with cruelties during their 1908
trip to Europe. His memory proved
recreant as to the time he first met
Mrs. Thaw and her visit to his Office.
He was shown a Photographic copy of
the last page OF the famous affidavit,
which Hummel said refreshed his
memory so he could state positively
that the date on which Evelyn called
at his Office was October 27, 1903. Del.
mas objected several times to the use
of the photograph, but the court all
lowed the questions Hummel said that
he had q conversation with Miss Mes
bit and that he dictated q statement in
her presence. He was asked several
other questions, to which Delmas OBJ
jected and was sustained.
Hummel was temporarily excused,
and, Jacob Schnydecker was called. He
was asked one question, which was
not allowed, and excused.
