had prevented her making any outcry by placing his hand over her mouth that he had told her of his hatred fo1 Stanford White and that she had to ap. peal to friends to get her away from Thaw
 Did Not Use Whites Money. Mrs. Thaw denied strongly that she had ever used a penny of the letter of credit Stanford White gave to her un- der seal before she went to Europe with Thaw and her mother. She de nied that she had ever been mentioned
 in any way in connection with the James A. Garland divorce case. She said Stanford White paid all her broth CTS school expenses and identified re- ceipts and checks signed by her moth CT showing that the latter drew more than $3.OO0 from Stanford Whites funds during the year from May, 1902, to May, 1903 Evelyn was at school during most of this time.
 Determined efforts were made by the defense to establish Evelyn Nesbit Tbaw's entire innocence in relation to the many men of her acquaintance ex- elusive of Stanford White and on the other hand to set up that her mother had encouraged Mir. Whites attentions to her daughter because of selfish ends.
 It was first at Southampton, Evelyn said, when she was i'll, that the then Mrs. Nesbit, refusing to assist her In making her toilet, renraachcd her for not having maid, sayin~. the young woman swore, that any @irl who was such good friend to Mir. White ought to be ablesto afford a-maiI.
 Breaks Down and Neeps.
 Then Evelyn broke down ana wept. , When Mir. Jerome took the witness for redirect cross examination she tes. tified that she thought that the balance of MT. Whites letter of credit was sent back to him. She did not know she said, whether her brother, How ard, had had his expenses paid by Mir. White up to the time of the killing of the architect by Thaw. Thaw had never used any of MT. Whites money, she asserted.
 Extracts from her written account Of her impressions at that time, in 1902, when she quit the glamor of the foot lights to study in a fashionable school. where White had sent her, showed that the girl was sophisticated in many ways. She wished to become an ac- tress.
 In 1903, however, whenever he saw Mr. White, Thaw would become eXcit- ed Evelyn swore. His emotion was quite marked, she testified, and on one occasion when they saw the architect in passing through Herald square Thaw had something like fit, she said.
 His friends generally regarded him as insane at this period of his life, she declared. He fancied that Mir. White had hired men to follow and harm him, and so he carried a pistol, she ex- plained.
 Returned Money to Thaw.
 Mrs. Thaw said that she, her mother and Thaw occupied the same apart ment in Paris, and she also described her mother as having spent money so rapidly that Thaw felt compelled to cut off the supply.
 The development of her nature seem ed to be revealed when she told early in her cross examination how she had received from Thaw bouquet of flow CTS, with fifty dollar bill attached. shortly after she had met the Pitts burger. z....
 She asserted that she had returned braided him for having sent it and that he apologized for having done so.
 The scruples that Evelyn Nesbit showed when she returned the $50 to Thaw seemed to have disappeared a year afterward, however, for she testi- fled that when she returned from Par is she felt disgusted with the Pitts burger, but she continued nevertheless to live on the money with which he had supplied her.
 Former Testimony contradicted.
 Coolly as the wife of the prisoner car ried herself through her terrible cross examination, she contradicted testimo ny which she had given in her direct examination. When Delmas questioned her she said that after her return from Europe in 1903 she had been to Whites 
 she signed the paper which she believ- ed was the Hummel affidavit. Under Jerome's questioning Mrs. Thaw said that she had been to Whites studio i'll the tower of Madison Square Garden many times after her return from abroad in 1903 and that she had at tended supper parties which the archi tect had given there. She said also that White had tried to take liberties with her at these parties, but that she had repulsed him.
 Mrs Thaw also admitted having been put out of hotel in this city where she and Thaw lived as man and wife.
 MT. Jerome asked her if it was not the realization of a wrong that was the reason for the remuneration of Thaw's love- Mrs. Thaw created some sur prise by saying: Not exactly. It was because had been found out" Then she told of how one man, a friend Of Whites, had accidentally discovered her
