Il passed STANFORD White one day in
Fifth avenue I was in cab and he
saw me, and / heard him say Evelyn
Just like that" and Mrs. Thaw raised
her voice as II to call some one.
II went back to our hotel and told
Harry, and he said The dirty black
guard. He had no right to speak to
you The next time 1 saw him was
driving to DIR. Delevan's Office to have
my throat treated. Stamford White
was also In q cab He jus. stared at
me this time and stroked his mus
tache. I turned into Thirty-third street,
and as l alighted at the toctor's door 1
saw stanford White coming. | rang
the bell and a maid came to the door,
and then I got so nervous and flustered
l told her / would come back again and
/ ran down the steps, got into the cab
and drove to the hotel, where told
Harry what had happened. He got
very excited nd bit his nails"
These were the only two instances.
Mrs. Thaw said, that she told her hus-
band that Stanford White had APP
preached or attempted to speak to her.
Court Room Crowded
There was another great crowd in
the court room today, every available
DIT of space being occupied The dra-
matte thrills of the uay before were
not there, however. The day began with
n continuance of the reading of the let
ters from Harry Thaw to Mr. Long
fellow, written after Evelyn Nesbit's
revelations to her sultor In Paris. There
were others, too, which Thaw had sent
the attorney to deliver to Miss Nesbit,
who at the time would not see him.
Mrs rThaV fpl1nWn1 fhaua Nvifb ra-
lation of her experiences with Stanford
White and Abraham Hummel concern
ing the alleged affidavit which she
made charging Harry Thaw with hav-
ing taken her from her mother against
her will, and with gross cruelty. Mrs.
Thaw told how she had been, induced
to answer some questions about herself
and Mr.. Thaw at the time and had
been told the stories about his "cruelties
to girls" Stanford White had told her,
she declared, that it was necessary to
take drastic measures to protect her
from such person and that Harry
Thaw must be kept out of New York.
Denies Signing Papers
She denied ever signing any papers
in Hummels office, but said she remem-
bered having signed some papers for
Mr.. White in his office, the contents of
which she cid not know. Wheil she got
frightened about the papers and de-
manded to see them she raid Mr.. White
took her to Hummels Office. and there
they burned paper which had her
name at the bottom of it. She was not
allowed to see what the paper contained
before it was destroyed.
Mrs. Thaw's testimony was amusing
at times by her interjections of the
names which Harry Thaw had applied
RI q Ia nd Nr uit taH
questioning as to what she had told
Hummel about him. She declared she
had told the lawyer nothing.
We'll, Mr. White said to me, there
is something wrong somewhere. He
has just squeezed a thousand dollars
out of me, and the Lord only knows
how soon he will squeeze another
then remembered having told Mr.. Hum
mel, when he threatened things about
Mr.. Thaw, that he had better be care
full, for Mr.. Thaw knew a lot of terri
BILE things about Stanford White"
Wills Not Admitted
The defense endeavored to get into
evidence today the wills of Harry Thaw
and Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, executed the
night OF their wedding in Pittsburg.
There We're go many interlineations, ad
ditions and erasures that Justice Fitz-
gerald held the documents were not
admissible until The changes were
proved. Mr.. Delmas said he would en-
deavOr later to prove what the Wills,
the interlineations and a codicil by
Harry Thaw had to do with the proof
tending to show the insanity of the de-
fendant. 1t came out N The discus
sion of the wills that the name of STAN
ford White was used in Thaw's testa-
ment.
Mrs. Thaw will go on with her direct
examination Monday morning. Just
what will be the nature of District At
torney Jerome's cross-examination
when he takes the wiptness is mere con-
lecture. 1t is said ne may try in some
way to attack her credibility and prob
ably as to her ability to remember other
things as we'll as the stories he has de-
clared she told Harry Thaw from time
to time
