Jerome objected, on the ground that
the note itself was the best evidence.

"Yes."
Mrs. Thaw then gave detailed ac-

First Meeting With White.
Here Delmas cautioned the witness
not to mention the name OF any other
person except White, in relating her
story. The witness continued:
IA young lady asked my mother sew
eral times to let me go out with her
to lunch. She came again and again
to me, before sent her to my mother
finally. and she said, All right My
mother finally consented. On the day
/ was to go, my mother dressed me,
and I went with the other young lady
in hansom hoping that we would go
to a ball room, because l wanted to see
it. but we went straight down 10
Broadway. thru oath street, up to
dingy looking door, where the young
lady jumped out and asked me to fol-
low her"
Did you relate all that to Thaw?'
Eyes"
"By the way interjected Delmas,
"What was the date of that event =
CAS- nearly as can remember. it
was in August, 1901"
"You then were sixteen years ana
some months old?"
"Yes"
'tYour mother dressed you to go?"
Eyes. 1 wore a short dress, with my
hair down my back. The dingy door
opened, nobody seeming to open it,,
and we went up some steps to another
door, which opened to some other
apartment. ] stopped and asked the
young lady where we were going, and
she said: It's all right mans voice
called down, 'Hello'"
Did you see the man then?"
"No."
when did you?"
"When we got to the top of the
stairs"
who was it?"
'It was Stanford White"
"What did you find in the room or
studio to which you went?"
"a table set for four"
Jerome objected to this testimony, on
the ground that he would have no op-
portunity to prove or disprove the facts
alleged. Delmas said the defense would
offer no objection to the district attor-
ney probing the correctness of the
facts. She said that afterwards they
went for a drive to a park, and then
returned to the house with White. She
said that when she got home, she told
her mother everything that had hap
pened. Her mother subsequently re-
ceived a letter from White, asking the
mother to call on White at No 160
Fifth avenue. When the mother re-
turned, she told the daughter he want
ed her to go to dentist and get her
teeth fixed, and also have her own, (the
mothers), fixed too. White told the
mother, when she said that that was a
strange thing to do, that he did that
for other girls. Witness next saw
White in the studio.
