Of Assistance
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Mr. Taw-
ney startled the house today as he
told to what lengths the appropria =
tions for this congress had gone, and
impressively said that a rough esti-
mate of the appropriations already
made showed that this last session of
the Fifty-ninth congress would amount
to 81 005, ,244, ,4S6, the largest by many
millions of any session.
He said if next years revenues did
not increase the treasury of the United
States would face a deficit of 500 000,-
900 at the close of the fiscal year, 1908.
He appealed to the patriotism of the
house to do nothing to increase the
vast aggregate.
When the paragraphs appropriating
$4,000 for the protection of Casa Grande
ruins in Pinal county Ariz., was
reached Mr.. Sulzer spoke of the skel-
etons found in those ruins and said:
Here $4,000 is appropriated for the
erection of a lot of skeletons in the
Smithsonian instEution while the needy
employees of the government, the life
saving service and other, branches, are
knocking at the doors for an increase
of salary. | am for the living, not for
a lot of people who lived in the paleo-
zoic age, and the $4,000 would help out
a lot of people"
Mr.. Mann of Illinois offered an
amendment which was adopted, appro-
priating $4,000 to enable the interstate
commerce commission to investigate
block signal systems and appliances
for the automatic control of railway
trains

Sensations Numerous

The springing Of sensations did not
rest all with the district attorney Mr..
Delmas sent a genuine thrill through
the court room by declaring that he
had been informed it was the purpose of
the district attorney to indict Mrs.
Thaw. Mr.. Jerome denied that any
such statement had been made, but did
not deny the purpose.
This incident came about near the
close of the afternoon session, when
Mr. Jerome, in an effort to make the
defense produce certain letters from
Stanford White which Mrs. Thaw had
declared were in the possession of Cliff
ford Hartridge, one of her husbands
attorneys. called Mr.. Hartridge to the
witness stand.
The lawyer declined to answer all the
questions relating to the letters, and
when it became necessary for him to
give some better reason than the
mere fact that he was attorney for the
defendant Mr.. Delmas said Mr.. Hart
ridge had been retained by Mrs. Thaw
to protect her interests when she had
heard that she was to be indicted.

During the afternoon Mrs. Thaw had
declared that she was perfectly willing
that the letters should be produced.
"They are your property, are they
uot?" asked Mr.. jerome.
"No. / gave them to Mr.. Thaw,"
Mr.. Jerome directed his assistant, Mr.
Garvan, to have a subpoena issued for
Mr.. Hartridge. When this was done
Mr., Jerome again demanded the let
ters Mr.. Hartridge said he had no
intention of complying, as he had re-
ceived the letters from the hands Of
the defendant Mr. Jerome appealed to
Justice Fitzgerald. He had failed to
have an affidavit made as to the service
of the subpoena, and Justice Fitzgerald
said there was nothing upon which he
could act. Mr.. GarVan was directed by
his chief to draw up the afIidaYit, There
the matter rested.
Just after the luncheon recess the
district attorney wanted permission to

Mrs. Thaw Proceeds

Mr.. Delmas thought he detected an
unfavorable slant to this and protested
that the witness would be able to pro-
ceed. Mrs. Thaw wiped her eyes, stiff
fened UP a bit and nodded to Mr..
Jerome to proceed.
After bringing out that her rela-
tions with White continued for some
time Mr.. jerome went deeper. Mrs.
Thaw admitted that in 1903, after the
return from Europe, she spent the
night at Thaws apartments in New
York and that for three weeks he and
she occupied connecting apartments at
the Grand hotel here.
Mrs. Thaw admitted that the cham
ragne which she declared had tasted
bitter the night she lost consciousness
in the mirrored bedroom was no more
bitter than any other champagne she
had drunk In fact. she admitted, 1t
tasted like all the rest and denied that
she had intended the jury to assume
otherwise.
Mrs. Thaw made what was consid-
cred her most damaging statement to
the defendant when she admitted he
had showed her copies of cablegrams
sent stanford White from Europe ask
ing him to use his influence with a
certain man in London to prevent Mrs.
Nesbit from interfering with Evelyn
continuing in Thaw's company.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-22
Carried Letter of Credit

when she and her mother went abroad
with Thaw in 1908 they were still draw
ing upon the bounty of Stanford White.
Evelyn declared that she had a letter
OF credit for $4OO or $500 which was
given to her by White and which she
later turned over to Thaw.
There was still a balance in the Mer-
camille Trust company to her order also.
But mamma got all of that" said
the witness.
Mr.. Jerome dwelt for long time upon
the cablegrams which Thaw is said tC
have sent White. She brought out that
the cablegrams We're sent after ThaY
knew of the relations which had eS-
listed between Miss Nesbit and White
Mrs. Thaw would not admit that she
knew positively who sent the cable
grams or whether her name was signed
to them.
Surely" remarked Jerome, "you
don't mean to say that he signed his
own name"
%No," she replied, Il don't mean that
at ALL"
Tells of Gay Life
A letter written by Mrs. Thaw in
1904, and telling of her gay life in Paris
with Harry Thaw and bunch from
the Tenderloin," was read to the jury
by Mr.. Jerome. This brought out more
testimony as to the Dead Rat" Pa
rlsian cafe There seemed to be nothing
in the witness past life about which
the prosecutor was not informed.
He seemed to have been able to trace
her every step, largely due, doubtless
to the typewrtten statement of the

ways holds in his hand while hurting
