yesterday, to jump from one part OF the

Wors Clothes Whom She Posed.
Jerome interrogated the witness
sharply as to the details OF her dress
when she was posing for artists in
Philadelphia and New York. Mrs.
Thaw usually said she could not ex-
actly remember.
Was there any exposure of the per-
son. or did you wear the so-called ar

During the cross examination, As
sistant District Attorney Garvan sat
behind Jerome, studying his notes from
time to time, and prompted the chief.
He made very full notes OF witness
testimony and compared what she said
today with what she had said on her
direct EXAMINATION. The witness said
that after coming to New York with
her mother, she was first employed
with the "Florodora" company. She
contributed to the support of the fam
lily, and acknowledged she had taken a
photograph of herself to q magazine
for publication under the name of Eve
lyn Florence.
Fails 70 Trip Witness.
Mrs. Thaw said that she had re-
ceived letters from White, fourteen Of
which she had given Thaw in Paris,
and that they are now in the possession
OF Hartridge. Jerome demanded that
the letters be produced. but Thaw's
counsel made no response. Jerome
questioned the witness at length re-
xarding the letters which were placed
I in the warehouse before she went to
Europe, and taken out after her re-
turn.
what became Of these letters?" he
asked.
Il gave them to Thaw." ii
Mrs Thaw fenced with the district
attorney quite skillfully at times. keep
ing her wits well about her.
Jerome spent an hour or more on the
subject Of Stanford Whites letters,
Mrs. Thaw declaring that the four
teen letters which Thaw turned over
to Hartridge were the only ones she
positively knew were in existence.
When Jerome would ask occasionally
very pointed question, evidently for
the purpose. Of tripping up the wit
ness. Mrs. Thaw would reply with an
emphatic nod Of her head: Il didn't
say that"
Jerome dropped the subject Of the
letters for the time being, and turned
to Mrs. Thaw's story to her husband.
He indicated that he would take every
advantage OF the courts ruling yester-
day. when Mrs. Thaw was compelled
to answer the questions as to whether
or not her story was true. Her state
ment that the story was true gives the
district attorney the right to introduce
testimony to show the contrary.

that Twenty-fourth street house at the
time OF your experiences with White 2"

.I don't remember. It was between
midnight and daylight"
Jerome read from Mrs. Thaw's direct
testimony the statement that she sat
up all that night. She replied that she
meant the rest of the night, after abe
had been taken home.
"When did you first meet Ted
Marks?" went on Jerome.
Witness said that she met Ted
Marks, a vaudeville manager, early in
1901, in New York.

Mrs. Thaw shook her head indig-

There is nothing in this case that
is even an intimation of such a thing.
