NEW YORK. Feb. 19.-The after
noon sessions usually attract a larger
crowd. and to-day was no exception.
The Jurors had been in their seats
ana Thaw had been in the court room
nearly ten minutes before the judge en-
tered. Doctors Wagner and Hammond,
Of the defence's insanity experts. took
seats almost directly behind the pris-
oner to "observe" him.
/ Mrs. ]. J. cainc, who was on the
stand who nthe noon recess was taken,
was recalled. Mr.. Jerome resumed his
lcross-cxamination
Jerome adduced the fact that on a
larst evening near the frst Of January
l1so5. Evelyn called for Mrs. Caine at a
lstore where she worked. They had an
advertisement clipped from a paper
and they went directly to the furnished
apartment on Ninety-hrst street and
took it and spent the night there. They
lived there three weeks.
"Now. you say you were protecting
Iher-protecting her from what?" asked
Jerome.
From newspaper notoriety" said
Mrs. acme.
Jerome succeeded in making her ad-
INIT that she had read in paper that
Evelyn and Thaw had been elected
from hotel ana that it was the subse-
quent notoriety to which she referred.
~Did you protect her against this de-
fendant?"
NO; / considered his attentions al
ways honorable"
After what you read in the paper !"
~Yes."
Jerome was sarcastic about the sud-
den suspension Of the voluntary moth
erly protection" He asked many ouea-
3 tions about Thaw's attentions, to all Of
which Mrs. calne said she saw and
heard nothing not entirely proper.
Jerome took up the subject Of The
night at Daly's Theatre. Mrs. caine
had testified that Thaw did not appear
rational on that occasion.
Did the defendants acts appear ir-
rational to you at any time during The
three months you were with Miss Nes-
bit?" asked Jerome.
~only when he saw MI White"
YES"
Jerome got the witness 10 say Thav'
never had any trouble with walters In
restaurants, that he did not drink to
excess and that she had never seen hin
laffected by drink.
