to drag her down again to the depths
from which she had been lifted by her
genuine love for Thaw.
1t was only hint, but It caused
every tu.or to bend forward with in.
tensified eagerness.
The little wife of the prisoner had
been on the grill all morning listening
to much tiresome wrangling over the
admissability OF evidence and 1t was
not aatl near the noon adjournment
that she was able to give any testi-
mony Of real weight. She testified
that subsequent to her marriage she
had met White in the street and that
he held his hands out to her and ask
ed her to come to him. Also that
another time she was riding in han.
some and White had followed her in
another, but that she avoided him.
Aside from this little straw, which
indicated the direction in which a
gale may sweep down on the case Of
the State, the most interesting testi.
mony was that in which Evelyn swore
that White enlisted the services Of
Abe H1mmel, the attorney, recently
disbarred, in an effort to get her to
bring suit against Thaw for breach Of
promise. According to Evelyn, she
had no intent in either of these suits,
being merely a tool in the hands Of
White and Hummei, whom she declar-
ed sought to raise club over Thaw's
head and shake him down for black.
mail" ig.EM
after your marriage did White try
to approach you?"
"Yes. / passed him on Fifth ave-
nue. and White held out his hands to
me and said Evelyn That was all
then. Mr. Thaw made me promise
faithfully to tell him If Mr.. White ever
tried to speak to me again. kept
that promise.
Whites Efforts to Meet Hef.
Sometime later I vas riding down
Fifth avenue in hanson cab. was
going to see doctor on Thirty.second

hanson following my hanson. ran
up the Doctors steps and was SO
nervous that I ran down again. and
jumped into the hanson, ordered the
driver to drive as fast as possible to
the Hotel Lorraine"
Did you ever tell Mr.. Thaw why
Stanford White sent you to school in
New Jersey while yoa were playing on
the stage?'
Yes. told Mr.. Thaw that Mr.. Jack
Barrymore. who was playing in the
same company with me-. had asked me
to visit his apartments alone. and that
refused Mr.. White was angry and
sent me away to school,"

n the park, and saw Stanford White
who said. oh. Evelyn. There was a
surprised look on his face. The next
day l received a telephone message
from Mr.. White asking to see me.
told him / couldn't see him. He an,
swered that 1t was a matter of life
and d. atn. He came to the Hotel Sa,
voy where I was. He tried to kiss me,
but l would not let him."
"Mr. White spoke about Harry
Thaw. lie said great many actress.
es had told him that l was abroad
with Harry Thaw. He said that Mr..
Thaw was morphine fiend and I told
him that did not believe 1t. He in.
sisted that Mr.. Thaw took morphine.
Mr.. White said Harry Thaw was a
very bad man, and I should not have
anything to do with him. After that
he came to see me constantly.
Mrs. Thaw, in relating further of a
meeting with Thaw said:
"Mr. Thaw said l should not speal,
to Stanford White. He said was &C.
cased of having improper relations
with White and I said that 1t was a
lie. Mr.. Thaw said people would
think was a blackmailer, because ]
went to Mr.. Hummel's office. Mr.
Thaw said It looked like bIackmafI to

"one night Mr.. White came running
into my apartment at the Hotel Ne.

sat down on a trunk and asked me
what did you tell Mr.. Hummel about

An Important Hint.
For the first time an fntfmation was
given of the point which, If establish

right of eminent domain extended by
direction of the constitution by leg

Campbell offered an amendment stril-
ing out all reference to oil and gas
