Great Surprise When Evelyn
ThaW Was Summoned
THOUGHT ORDEAL OVER
Had Been Told She Could Not Remain
In the Court Room as Spec
tator, and Had Gone Out
Tearfuily.

New York, Feb 27.-- That Evelyn
Thaw was the drawing card Of her hus-
bands trial was apparent today, when
less than half the usual number Of peo.
pie assailed the guards at the court
room doors. The expectation OF day
OF expert testimony on the finer points
of insanity did not arouse enthusiasm.
Jerome's aides brought three stacks Of
heavy volumes of insanity authorities
with markers on each. With this bat
terry Of tecbniealities, the public proseeu-
tor prepared to lombard the alienists'
evidence
EVELYN Thaw and Mrs. J. j. Caine en-
tered the court room early, but before
the trial began they were told by Thaw's
lawyers that they must leave Both APP
peared distressed and disappointed.
Tears came to Evelyn's eyes as she walk
ed slowly out. There was great surprise,
therefore, when, after court convened,
Evelyn was called back and put on the
stand again.
her eyes Jerome's examination was
brief. He asked il she told her brother,
Howard, upon her return from Europe
in 1908. that she had been brutally
abused by Thaw to induce her to tell
lies about White, and that the story
OF being drugged and seduced by White
was false.
Il did not" said Evelyn.
She also denied Jerome's suggestion
that her brother had advised her to carry
a revolver to protect herself, and that
she had given him money to buy one
for her. Her denials were very en-
phatic.
Mr.. Delmas then furnished another
surprise by calling DIR. Charles +. Bing-
ham, the Thaw family physician, in
stead Of insisting that the district at
torney proceed with the cross. examina-
tion Of Dr. Evans.
DIR, Bingham said that when he visited
Thaw in the Tombs he talked constant
ly of conspiracies Of rich New Workers
to prevent his getting a fair trial. He
had intertwined newspapers between the
bars of his cell. He said that the prison
officials we're forcing cold air on him to
give him pneumonia, and kill him.
In cross examination the fact was
developed that Delmas expected to finish
his case this wek. DIR. Evans was re-
called and jerome did his best to dis
credit bis former testimony as an insan-
ity expert.

Story of a Boy.

The hest story Of the fire is told by
a little boy, Thomas Hogan, who was a
pupil in the second class under Miss
Campbell. He said there was a bell in
Miss Maxwell's room which was used
when fire drill was given, and which
could be heard all over the building.
This alarm was not sounded
