That Was Matter of Conjecture
When Court Adjourned
Last Night.
WILL TRY. TO INTRODUCE
WILL THAT THAW MADE
Ottawa. Canada. Wants to be Too
Good For This Mundane
Sphere of Newspapers.

New York, Feb. 9.-The nature of
District Attorney Jerome's cross-ex-
animation of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,
who has already spent two days on
the witness stand. was the principal
subject of discussion when the court
adjourned late yesterday until Mon
day morning.
The district attorney has a difficult
problem in this cross-examination.
With the truth or falsity of the
stories told her husband, he has
nothing to do. The statement that
she told these things Jerome cannot
disprove.
His strongest chance is to mako
her stumble in her story or to COM
pei her to admit the telling of other
things about her past life to Thaw,
which would minimize in his mind
the effect of the story of her rela-
tions with Stanford White.
He can introduce evidence, If he
has it, affecting her credibility as a
witness, but as for the main state
ments in her testimony, White him
self, if alive, could not go on the
. stand and deny.
Jerome will object to further tes-
timony along this line.
AS yet no evidence has been intro
duced to show that Thaw is or ever
was insane, and vi. Ill this is showr
any more of these stories will be en-
tirely immaterial.
Thaw's attorney stated last nigh
that Mrs. Thaw will again assume
the stand Monday morning on direc
examination, but as to what she will
testify he was not prepared to state
viii Which Thaw Made.
1t is expected that Delmas will
make vigorous effort on Monday tc
introduce Thaw's will in evidence
1t is believed that the will will bt
strongly relied upon to show the eff
feet upon Thaw's mind of the stories
told him by his wife. 1t is said tC
have been written on loose sheets
partly typewriter and partly il
handwriting, with many interlina
tions. According to the report to
day the will is expected to show tina
Thaw feared assassination, and tina
he ordered $4,000 to be devoted t.
the prosecution of the assassin.
Provides for Whites Victims.
Among other provisions is one sci
ting aside $4,000 for the care o
women believed to have suffere
through Stanford White. Tn
names of these women are reported
to be given in full in the will. l
also provides for the education o
Howard Nesbit and an allowance 1
made for Evelyn's mother. The in
come from the remainder of the es
tate is bequeathed to his wife.
