The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great inn
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a s%tiffener
makes half the usual quantity Of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.

New York, Feb. 10. - Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw again yesterday was the central
figure at her husbands trial.
Picking up the threads of her life's
story where she had dropped them the
evening before, she brought the nara
tive down to her wedding in Pittsburg
on April 4, 1905, and their return to
New York following a honeymoon trip
in the West. She declared she had
heard White call to her on the street
once after this, and that on another
occasion he had followed her in a cab.
White Tried to Kiss Her.
Mrs. Thaw declared yesterday that
Stanford White, during the year which
followed her experience in the room Of
the mirrored walls, repeatedly sought
to have her visit him alone, and on
one occasion had attempted to kiss
her.
II told Harry" she said, that Mr..
White had begged me, had pleaded and,

Ruined by White.
1t was the story of her meeting with
Stanford White, the story of the
sumptuous studio apartment, to which
she had been enticed by the carefully
planned strategem of her betrayer-
the story of a glass of champagne, OF
black, whirling sensations and of mir
rored bedroom walls. In short, she
told all the story of how her ruin was
accomplished.

a note to her husband during dinner at
the Cafe Martin on the evening of the
tragedy; that District Attorney Je-
rome has this note, and refused, on
the demand of the defense, to intro
duce it in evidence. 4.
Threatened Thaw's Life.
The threat against Thaw's life was
made two years and half before the
tragedy occurred. District Attorney
Jerome objected to the introduction of
the evidence, declaring the defense
was not understood by him to be one
of self-defense
Mr.. Delmas replied that the defense
intended to take advantage of every
legal defense allowed in the State OF
New York, be it insanity, self-defense
or any other legitimate justification OF
the taking of human life.
Thursdays Proceedings.
New York, Feb. 9. - Evelyn Nesblt
Thaw told her story yesterday. TO
save the life of her husband, charged
with murder, she barred to the world
the innermost secrets of her soul. 1t
was the same story she told harry
Thaw in Paris in 1908, when he had
asked her to become his wife-the con-
fession of one who fell. There was an
insurmountable barrier to her ever
becoming the bride of the man she
loved.
In the big witness chair she appear
ed but slip of girl, and she told the
pitiful story of her eventful young lie
in a frank, girlish way.
Sad Story of Her Life.
AS the young wife unfolded the mar
rative of her girlhood and told the ear
" struggles of herself and her mother
to keep body and soul together; OF
how she finally was able to earn
livelihood by posing for photographers
