Point Blank Denial.
During the morning session Mr.. Jerome
paved his strongest card Of the day. Mrs

Never" she declared.
fhaW was intensely Interested and
when the incident was over he turned

and whispered:

catch the point-a liar"
Helped Her Husbands Case.
Mrs. Thaw was in much better spirits
when she took the stand today, and look
ed decidedly better physically than she
aid last week She had all her wits about
her and did not fare at all badly at the
hands of the district attorney. who was
more gentle in handling the witness.
Instead of further hurting the cause of
her husband, Mrs. Thaw managed to
make two decided gains. When court adj
journed last Thursday it appeared from
her own statements that she had used
letter of credit from Stanford White while
touring in Europe and had turned the
letter over 10 IhaW- She explained today
that Thaw took the letter of credit from
her. saying the money was 'poisonous"
and neither she nor her mother should
touch il. and that he would provide them
with funds. Whatever had been spent of
the money. she declared, was for her
mother.
New Man in Scandal.
The second point Mrs. Thaw made was
concerning the cahlegrams which ThaW
is said to have sent to Stanford White
from London. it appeared Thursday that
these cablegrams were requests to White
to use his Influence in keeping Mrs Nes-
bit from raising a row" and interfer-
ing with Evelyn continuing in company
with Thaw. Mr.. Jerome took up the sub
/ iect again today but his questions elici-
ted the information that the letters did
not concern Mrs. Thaw at all. but related
/ to a mana secretary of the American
/ embassy-in London. whom Mrs. Thaw
said had "sneaked up TO mamma bed
had also insulted her and that Thaw had
gone in search of him, but failed TO find
him.
The proceedings today dragged a great
deal and it was evident long before he
announced the fact. that Mr.. Jerome was
nearing the end Of his ton.
Abe HummeI Today.
The proceedings tomorrow with Mr.
Hummel on the stand should be more in
terestinE. The defense on cross-examina-
ton will attempt to discredit the witness.

animation of Mrs. Thaw and Mr. Jerome
