More of ThaW's Letters.
The day began with a continuance
of the reading of the letters from
Harry Thaw to Mr. Longfellow, writ
ten after Evelyn Nesbit's revelations
to her sutton 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. Thaw followed these with a re-
lation of her experiences with Stan
ford White and Hummel concerning
the alleged affidavit which she made
charging Harry Thaw with having
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 her
self 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.
| She denied that she had ever signed
any papers in Mr.. Hummel's office, but
said she remembered having signed
some papers for Mr. White in "his Of
fice,' the contents of which she did
not know. When she got frightened
about the papers and demanded to see
them she said Mr. White took her to
Hummel's Office and there they burned
a paper which had her name at the
bottom of it. She was not allowed
to see what the paper contained be-
fore it was destroyed.

story she told Harry Thaw in Paris,
in 1903, when he had asked her to
become his wife-the confession of
one who felt there was an insur-

AS the young wife unfolded the mar

mother to keep body and soul to-
