New York, Feb. 11.-Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw probably will not, as had been
expected, return to the stand Monday
morning when the trial of her hus-
band for the murder of Stanford
White is resumed.
The strain of the last few days, in
which she has been made to live again

of the architects caprice, has told Sc
verely on the young woman, and Sun
day night it was stated that the pris-

Chance for Mrs. Thaw to Recover.
Upon her visit to the Tombs Satur-
day Mrs. Thaw told her husband that
she had suffered greatly during the
ordeal when her association with
White was laid bare and Thaw COM
municated the fact to the attorneys.
He told them that his wife was in bad
shape, and requested that she be given
an opportunity to recover herself.

rearrange the plans of the defense

a witness would not be required until
Tuesday.
If this plan does not miscarry, Mrs.

day and her cross-examination by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome will begin
Wednesday, day later than had been
anticipated.

appliances, has contracted a severe
to go into the jury box when the trial
is resumed. The other jurors, all of
whom were reported in good condi-

Thaw rose Sunday after what he de-
clared had been restful night, in
good spirits and with hearty appe-
tite. He did not attend service in the
chapel, but spent the morning with
the newspapers and in reading the
many messages which were brought
him. Of these one read: BE brave"

figure at her husbands trial. She was
still on the stand-her direct examina-

Picking up the threads of her life's
story where she had dropped them the
evening before, the girl wife of the de-
PENDANT always, she declared, telling
her story just as she had related it to
Harry Thaw from time to time
brought the narrative down to her
wedding in Pittsburg, on April 4,
1905, and their return to New York
