ing of the cross-examination Of this
witness
Jerome said 1t was not merely

to controvert on rebuttal, and he
therefore wished to lay the foundation
for such action by calling Mrs. Thaw's
attention to the matter.
Howard Nesbit to Testify.
BY the very first question, Jerome
Indicated that he intends to call How.
ard Nesbit to the witness stand to
contradict his sisters testimony. He
asked the witness if, when she first
saw her brother after her return from
Europe In 1903 she did not complain
to him that Thaw had brutally treated
her. The witness replied in the neg

The doctor said he also saw him In

Objected to Taking Deposition.
After finishing the cross examination
Jerome said he would call DR.. Bing-
lam for the state in rebuttal and
asked permission of the court to take
his testimony in the form of depo-
'ition. Attorney Delmas objected,
saying that the testimony had to be
aiken in open court, and the court
sustained the objection. Jerome then
lsked DR.. Bingham to return next
Monday.

mined DR.. Evans as to what medical
colleges he had attended and then
asked him IL he considered himself a
Master of his profession. DR.. Evans
'eplied that he did not know what
lie meant by master of a profession.
do you know anyone who is
master of your profession asked Je-
'ome.
IF you mean man who knows all
lbout it, there are none such in the
the law or any other
replied DR.. Evans.

Jerome then asked DR.. Evans il it
vas not more important for an expert
IN the witness stand to be calm and

objections thereto were sustained.
