Evelyn Thaw resumed the wit
ness stand at the opening of court
this morning and the line of ex-
animation was directed to showing
the efforts White had made to in
duce her to leave Thaw when 1t
became evident that Thaw intended
to marry her. This was after she
had returned to New York. White
told her Thaw was morphine
fiend; that he was insane and per-
formed such feats as putting girl
in bath tub and pouring hot
water on her and tying girls to bed
posts to beat them. He had taken
her to Abe Hummel, attorney, to
prove his assertions and make fur
ther arrangements to break her
from Thaw.
Evelyn said she found out that
the stories about Thaw were I'M
true. Hummel had SECURED Thaw's
letters to her, saying he would
hold them over Thaws head. White
told her that she had been kept
, way from her mother and i'll
treated. This sympathy from White
came long after her first expe-
rience with him as related by the
witness yesterday.
Hummel tried to get her to sue
Thaw for a breach of promise, tell
ing there was lots of money and
advertising in 1t, and endeavored
to compel her to sign complaint.
He wanted to prosecute Thaw for
taking her abroad while she was a
minor.
She refused to sign any papers
and afterward told Thaw about it.
Thaw told her not to speak to
White again and keep away from
Hummel's office or she would be
taken for a blackmailer.
Afterwards she met White In the
park. He spoke to her and the
next day sent message asking to
see her. She refused, but White
declared it a matter of life or death
and came to the hotel where she
was staying. He tried to kiss her,
but she wouldn't let him. Thaw
heard about this and demanded
