Unfit for Canadian Mails.
Ottawa, Canada, Feb. 9.-The Post
master General has been asked to
deny the use of the mails to all local
papers which printed the details OF
Thursdays evidence in the Thaw tri
al in New York The Postmaster Gen
eral said ne had not read the report
in the newspapers mentioned, but as
the law was clear upon the point he
would see that it was enforced. Any
newspaper publishing filthy evidence
of a trial in court, he said, would be
guilty of misdemeanor under the
Canadian law.
Speculations on Effect of Evidence
New York. Feb. 9--The nature OF
District Attorney Jerome's cross ex
animation of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, who already has spent two
days on the witness stand, was the
principal topic of discussion when
the court adjourned late yesterday
until Monday morning. The District
Attorney has a difficult problem in
this cross examination. With the
truth or falsity of the stories the wit
nothing to do. The statement that
she told these things Jerome cannot
disprove. His strongest chance is to
make her stumble in her story OF
compel her to admit telling other
things about her past life to Thaw
which would minimize in his mind
the effect of the story of her relations
with Stanford White. He can intro
duce evidence, if he has it, effectine
her credibility as a witness, but as

mony White himself, if alive, could
not go on the stand and deny. jerome
will object to further testimony along
this line, as yet there has been nc
evidence to show that Thaw is ol
ever was insane. and until this is
shown any more of these stories
would be entirely immaterial.
Thaw's attorney stated last nigh
that Mrs. Tlaw would again assume
| the stand Monday morning on direc
examination, but as to what she
would testify he was not prepared tt
state.
1t is expected that Attorney Del
mas will make a vigorous effort or
Monday to introduce Thaw's will l.
evidence. This is believed to be very
strongly relied upon to show the eff
feet upon Thaw's mind of the stories
told him by his wife. The will is sale
to have been written on loose sheets
partly typewriter and partly in hand
writing, with many ilterlineations
According to the report heard today
