Tells Story of Persecution

New York, Feb. 9-Evelyn NeSbit Thaw testified this morning that after her marriage Stanford White threat ened her with public exposure of her past life if she did not visit his room alone.
 After Mrs. Thaw's direct testimony was concluded District Attorney Jerome said; "God forbid that we should try to controvert this girls testimony"
 It is believed that Jerome intends to move for the dismissal of the proSecu- tion of Thaw, believing that his wife's story of her betrayal to White by her mother and Whites persecution of her after her marriage absolutely insures Thaw's acquittal by the jury.
