there Mr.. Hartman and I parted COM

DICT EVIDENCE OF MRS. Ev.
ELYf NEsBIT THAW.
bElNAs MAKES MANY OBJECTIONS
PROTECTS HIS WITNESS DURING
JERoME's cROss-ExAMINA-
TON OF DIR. EVANS.

New York, Feb. 28.-There were i'm
portant developments during the day
in the Thaw trial as affecting District
Attorney Jerome's future conduct of
the case. BY recalling Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw to the stand to question
her about conversation with her
brother he Indicated that he intends to
put Howard Nesbit on the stand to
contradict his sister as to material
fact She denied positively that she
had ever told Howard that Thaw had
treated her cruelty because she would
not tell lies about Stanford White.
Mr.. Jerome further stated that he
would call as witness for the state
In rebuttal DR.. Allan McLane Hamil-
an alienist for the defense.
DR.. Hamilton's last public statement
was to the effect that he believed
Thaw to be still insane Mr.. Jerome
also said he would call DR.. .Bingaman,
the Thaw family physician, as wit
ness for the state He was prevented
from cross questioning DR.. Bingaman
as to hereditary insanity in the Thaw
family by objections from Mr.. Delmas.
Mr.. Delmas announced that the de-
Tense will be finished this week.
Dr.. Evans Cross-Examined.
After Mrs. Thaw and DR.. Bingaman
had testified briefly DR.. L. D. Evans
was called for cross-examination. DR..
Evans Is one of the principal witnesses
for the defense and there were indica-
lions that the district attorney in
tends to make his examination most
thorough one
Mr.. Delmas was constantly on his
feet with objections, which Justice
Fitzgerald in nearly every instance
sustained. The, judge further warned
the district attorney that he was TAX
ing too wide a latitude.
The cross-examination of DR.. Evans
contrasted sharply with that Of DR..
Wiley, the first alienist for the de-
tense put on the stand. DR.. Wiley
was left entirely to the mercy Of the
prosecutor, not single objection be-
ing registered by Mr.. Gleason, who at
that time was examining the wit
nesses.
During his REORGANIZATION DR..
Evans said he did not believe that
Thaw was "demented" today. He fur

DARING FILIRusTEt ,ne PLOT.
Adventures PiSpned to Seize Dutch
lsiapd of Celebes.

lslapI Of celebes.
Cape Town, Feb. 2s.-The police
have just learned of the details of
darlngly conceived and audacious fill
clustering plot against the island of
Celebes, a Dutch possession in the
Malay archipelago situated to the east
of Borneo.
A band of 5000 armed adventures
planned to concentrate and descend
on the island and hold it by force
against the Dutch while it's mineral
riches were being developed and
worked. 1t was intended, however, to
demand mining concessions from the
Dutch government and only to employ
force in the event of refusal.
The police got clue to the venture
and raided certain premises in Cape
Town, where they seized a number of
documents relating to the organiza-
ton of the enterprise, which, it is al
legged, has branches in England, on the
continent, in the United States and in
other countries.
