Yes"
Does that refresh your mind? Does
that remind you that you arrived Sat-
urday, Oct. "a, 1902"
Yes, SIR"
AT what hour of the day did YOU

don't remember the exact time"
MIR. Jerome here read extensively
from Mrs. Thaw's direct testimony, es-
pecially with reference to the visits
she made with Stanford White to
photographer.
You fixed the date of your ravish-
ment by reference to this visit to the
photographer. did you not?" asked Mr..
Jerome.
Mr.. Delmas objected He said the
question related to an event and had
nothing to do with the story Mrs.
Thaw told her husband. He said the
cross-examination must be confined to
the story as she had told it to Thaw
hot as to historic events.
Mr. Jerome took another tack,
You were photographed on polar
bear. were you not?"
Yes"
Did You pose in kimona with
your chin resting on the head of the
polar bear?"
Yes"
How many poses were there?"
Il don't remember"
They We're all modest, decorous
poses which no one could take ex-
ception to-"
yes"
You stated constantly on the stand
that all of the things you narrated
here We're just what you told Thaw-
all about this terrible occdrence"
Yes"
"And those things you told Thaw
at that time as having occurred at the
hands of Stanford White were true?"
asked the district attorney.
Mr.. Delmas sprang to his feet with
an objection.
Your honor" he said, whether
these statements of hers were true
or false is entirely immaterial. We
have not been allowed to show the
truth of them. The whole question is
whether or not she made the state
ments to Thaw as she said she did"
THE truth or falsity of her state
ments go to her credibility as wit
ness" said Justice Fitzgerald. She
may answer"
Were these statements true?" re-
peated Mr.. Jerome.
"They were," was the firm reply.
when did you first learn that you
had been named correspondent in the
Lederer divorce suit?"
Mr.. Delmas was Immediately on his
feet with an objection.

clared with feeling, "that there ever
was divorce case"
Send for the records" said Mr..
Jerome.
at is in my safe," he explained to
the court, and it is like playing a
game of solitaire to solve the combi-
nation of that old lock. Maybe we
had better adjourn
Meantime Mrs. Thaw called Mr.. Del
mas over and whispered to him.
Il withdraw my objection" he said,
after returning to his place. The
lawyer was probably acting under adj
vice from the witness.
District Attorney Jerome repeated
the question.
II first read of it in the newspa-.
pers," said Mrs. Thaw in a voice that
was decidedly cheerful.
'When?" asked the prosecutor.
II don't just remember when-some
time in 1904"
Sure it was not 1902"
81 am sure it was 1904"
Were you in Boulogne at the
time?"
II don't remember"
"You heard of it after Mr.. Thaw
had proposed for your hand?"
EYES,"
did you consult lawyer?"
Mr.. Delmas objected, declaring that
this had nothing to do with either the
witness story to Thaw or her credi-
bility.
at will tend to fix dates" suggested
Mr.. Jerome in tone which suggested
that it was really a matter of no i'm
portance. 1t was reported that the
district attorney would attempt to
show that Mrs. Thaw had consulted
with. Abe Hummel about the case.
"The objection is sustained" ruled
Justice Fitzgerald.
when you were in Boulogne and
after you heard that you had been
named as correspondent, did you write
to anyone in American"
Eyes, think I wrote to Stanford
White" Mrs Thaw responded readily.
"And this was after Thaw had pro-
posed?"
