 New York, Feb. 22.-The principals in the Thaw trial spent the day in rest, everyone apparently relishing the res- nite from tho somewhat narrowing scenes which marked this weeks pro- ceedings. By the time the hearing is resumed next Monday morning it Is expected that Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will have entirely recovered her com posture and will be prepared again to take her place in the witness chair. On yesterday it was said the young woman was on the verge of illness and that cup of broth had been her only sustenance for two days She was so weakened as the result of her days ex- perience that she retired immediately upon reaching her apartments and did not arise until late to-day The only reason which took her from her bed even then was the call she had promis- ed to make upon her husband in the Tcmbs prison Ordinarily visitors are not allowed in the big gray building on holidays, but an exception was made to-day with regard to Harry Thaws wife and counsel.
 It was well after noon when Mrs, Thaw arrived at the prison. She was accompanied by Daniel O'Reilly, one of her husbands counsel, and was shown at once into the consultation room. There had been reports in some of the early editions of the papers to-day to the effect that Thaw himself was in bad physical condition, but when he appeared to greet his wife he declared that he was feeling exceptionally well and enjoying his usual vigorous health As Thaw rushed into the conference room he clasped his wife in his arms saying My deav. brave little wife ' The two talked together for a long while and then MT. O'Reilly was called into conference,
 Mrs. Thaw was approached to-day by newspaper men and smiled and tried to appear cheerful Tn reply to questions she said she was feeling pretty we'll"
 District Attorney Jerome has gone to Lakevllle, Conn. to spend the holiday recess with his family Nearly all of Thaw's counsel remained at their | homes.
 The district attorney will keep Mrs. Thaw on the stand at least day and a half more and may even stretch his searching cross examination through twice that length of time. It will de- pend upon how Mrs Thaw feels at the end of this period as to whether or not 1 Thaws counsel will go ahead with their redirect examination of her. Mir. | Delmas has been making copious notes during Mir. Jerome's questioning of the witness. and he will likely endeavor to place a different light upon some of the incidents which have been disclos- ed. With the cross-examination only half completed and with the redirect and re-cross examination still in view there seems no way to approximate the number of days in the witness chair Mrs. Thaw has before her. If she is much fatigued at the end of MT. Je- rome's first ross-examipation ,she may be released for time, subject to recall. In view of the fact, however, that de- fendants counsel forced the district at torney to proceed with the cross-exam- ination against his will, he will very likely insist in return that they shall also conclude with the witness before she is excused from the stand
