few moments

"Oh, she WAS very rude and was
obliged to send her away" Audrey an

There have been a great many com

she said. "No? My dearest, believe me,

Audrey was silent for moment.

Audrey smiled at Jeans grave mimicry
OF Murray's voice.

She followed the black and silver dom

The Trial Smashes Records.

New York. March l2-The trial
of Harry X. Thaw for his life for
the murder of Stanford White, has
realized the predictions made at
its beginning that 1t would become
the most famous In the history OF
criminal trials In America. The
long trial has been record-break
ing one In many respect.
One OF the most interesting side
lights on the famous case is at.
forded by comparison of the
amount of publicity 1t has received
with the amount OF newspaper
space given to other history max.
ing events OF recent times.
Since the date of the beginning
of the trial, January %, the leading
newspapers of New York City have
devoted more than 5000 columns to
the case. The estimated number OF
words ranges between 100000 and
100000. Placed end to end the
columns would stretch over one
and three.fourths statute miles. The
columns OF space devoted to ac-
counts of the trial by the daily
press OF the entire country, II the
columns were placed end to end,
would form a band of paper long
enough to stretch from New York
City beyond Philadelphia.
One hundred and forty-two pic
lures of Evelyn Nesibt Thaw ap'
peared In the daily newspapers OF
New York I'm single week. The
number printed In New York dur
ing the entire period OF the trial
runs into the thousands, while for
the country at large the total can
be figured only by tens OF thou
