More Summon Lawyer HumInci.
NEW YORK, March "a subpoena
was served upon Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
at the Hotel Lorraine commanding her
TO turn over to the district attorney all
the letters she ever received from Har-
ry Thaw or Stanford White.
She will be witness for the prose
cution. in so far us the law allows q
wife to testify, as she may be needed
by the district attorney to identify the
letters.
What good they are going TO do the
district attorney is question asked
here, as it is not likely that Mrs. Thaw
has kept any correspondence that
would endanger her husbands safety
When the trial of Harry Thaw is re-
sumed on Monday the district attorney
will call as his first witness in rebut-
tai Evelyn Nesbit Thaws chorus girl
friend, May Mckenzie. A subpoena
has been served on Miss Mckenzie at
the Hotel Lorraine. where she is liy-
ing with the Thaws, notifying her that
she will be called the first thing OIL
Monday morning.
Mr.. Jerome has secured from Maize
Toilette and Edna Chase. two of Eve
lyn Nesbit Thaw's companions in the
chorus of the 'Iflorodora" company in
1902, certain new facts affecting the
truth of the story told by Harry
Thaw's wife of her WRONG at the
hands of Stanford White.
Under rules of evidence 1t would be
impossible for Mr.. JerAne to use this
ammunition upon Evelyn Thaw direct

tion TO know the truth or falsity oi
the charges made by the other two
women.

testified for the defense. Among the
other known witnesses for the state

to have signed charging Thaw with
cruelties hecause she "would not fell
liesv abeut Stanford White. The pros.
eeutor attempted TO introduce this tes.
timony by interrupting Young Mrs
Tbaw's narrative. but the testimony
was barred. Mr.. Jerome believes that
upon rebuttal Justice Fitzgerald will
allow him n much wider latitude than
was granted on cross examination.
Howard Neshit ii is said, will be
called to the stand TO testify that his
sister told him Thaw had treated her
cruelty while abroad in 1903 because
she .'would not fell lies" about Stan
ford White.
The subpoena served on Mrs Thaw
was in the nature of n great surprise
to her and also the counsel for The de-

heightened by reports that Thaw's
family had determined to separate him
from his wife should n verdict he re-
turned in his favor.
