phatic show of feeling.
The defense had Mrs. Thaw tell o.
her acquaintance with Jack Barry
more, an actor.
She said she had first met Barry
more at party given by STANFORD
White the year following her introduc
ton to the architect.

After leading the witness to tell in
chronological order of the incidents OF
her wedding with Thaw in Pittsburg,
Mr.. Delmas asked her II she had seen
Stanford White after her return to
New York from the honeymoon trip.

raised her voice as if to call some one.
~ went back to our hotel and told

what had happened. He got very ex-
cited and bit his nails.'
These were the two instances Mrs.
Thaw said, that she told her husband
that Stanford White had approached
or attempted to speak" to her.
The day began with continuance
Of the reading of the letters from
Harry Thaw to Mr.. Longfellow, writ
ten after Evelyn Nesbit's revelations
to her suitor in Paris. There were
others, too, which Thaw had sent the
attorney to deliver to Miss Nesbit,
who at the time would not see him.
Mrs. Thaw followed these with re
lation of her experiences with Stanford
White and Abraham Hummel concern
ing the alleged affidavit which she
made charging Harry Thaw with hav-
ing taken her from her mother against
her will and with gross cruelty. Mrs.
Thaw told how she had been induced
to answer some questions about herself
and Mr.. Thaw at the time and had
been told the stories about his cruel
ties to girls" Stanford White had told
saiy to take drastic measures to pro-
tect her from such person and that
Harry Thaw must be kept out of New
York. She denied that she had ever
signed any papers in Mr.. Hummel's
office, but said she remembered hav-
Ing signed some papers for Mr.. White
in "his Offices" the contents of which
she did not know When she got
frightened about the papers and de
manded to see them she said Mr..
White took her to Hummel's office,
and there they burned u paper which
had her name at the bottom of 1t. She
was not allowed to see swhat the paper
contained before 1t was destroyed.
This feature of Mrs. Thaw's story
was made amusing at times by herr in
terjeetlons OF the names which Harry
rhaw had applied to the lawyer and
Mr.. Whites agitated questioning us to
what she had told Hummel about him.
She declared she had told the lawyer
nothing.
.''Welr, Mr.. White said to me- she
went on there is something wrong
somewhere. He has Just squeezed a
thousand dollars out of me, and the
Lord only knows how soon he will

having told Mr.. HummeI, when he
things about Mr. Thaw.
that he had better be careful, for Mr.
Thaw knew a lot of terrible things
about Stanford White"
The defense endeavored to get into
evidence the wills of Harry Thaw and
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, executed the
night of their wedding in Pittsburg.
