JEALOUSY THE MOTIVE.
t1icaqo Mans wife Said to Have
Been In Love With Artist.

Been In Love With Artist. 4
Chicago, Feb. 23.-While raving In
ner cell at the police station, Mrs.
Michael Mcdonald, who shot and
killed Webster s. Guerin, an artist,
Thursday told the police enough to
lead them to the conclusion that it
was jealousy and not blackmail that
led her to take the life of her alleged
elandestine lover. Made desperate by
4 report that Guerin was engaged to
marry a West Side society girl, the
police are of the opinion that she took
Guerin's life In revenge. Guerin's
love for another was mistake, as 1t
was his brother who is to be married.
Mrs. Mcdonald is still in such con-
dition that nothing of definite char
acter regarding the tragedy can be
learned from her. Physicians in at
tendance say that she shows signs of
Improvement and that they are of the
belief that in few days she will
fully recover.
Until that time there is little likeli-
hood that the facts in the case as to
what led up to the shooting will be
obtainable, as no one seems to have
had any knowledge of q love affair
which may have existed between Mrs.
Mcdonald and Guerin.

Told on Direct Examination.
New York, Feb. 26.-District Attor-
ney Jerome has finished his long
cross-examination of Mrs. Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw at the trial of her husband
on the charge of having murdered
Stanford White. Mrs. Thaw had been
under the district attorneys fire for
nearly five court days. His conclud-
ing questions had to do with what the
witness observed as to Thaw's man.
ner when he would chance to meet
White. She said he acted as a person
In fit.
Mrs. Thaw said her husband would
them. From Christmas, 1908, until
he shot White he believed the archi-
tect had set the Monk Eastman gang
upon him. He constantly feared
White and said he was being perse-
cuted by him.
Mr.. Jerome called Abraham H.
Hummel to the stand to question him
regarding the affidavit Evelyn Nesbit
is alleged to have made against Thaw
IN his office. Beyond the fact that the
girl went to the lawyers Office and
that he dictated to a stenographer
while she was there the district at
torney was powerless to bring out
anything moro because of the contin-
ued objection of Mr.. Delmas.
Justice Fitzgerald upheld the objec-
lions on the ground that collateral
testimony cannot be taken to discredit
the witness.
At the conclusion of her cross-ex-
animation Mrs. Thaw was recalled by
Mr.. Delmas for redirect examination.
Evelyn Thaw's Story Intact.
To the observer it is not evident
that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's story has
been broken to any great extent. The
cross-examlnation brought out the
fact that Evelyn. Nesbit lived with
Thaw as his wife for year and a
half before they were married, but
there was no attempt made to con.
ceal this fact. Mrs. Thaw admitted
it without bubble. She also admitted
that her relations with White contin-
ued for, several months after her al
legged ravishment She also admitted
that Thaw sent cable messages to
White in her name asking him to in
terfere to prevent her mother from
making trouble while she and Thaw
were travelling together in Europe.
Aside from these admissions, how
ever, her STORY stands practically as
abe told 1t on her direct examination.
Occasionally NY. Jerome succeeded In
inducing her to make her statements
more positive, but he was unable to
induce her to fix dates with any GER
tainty. On these matters her memory
proved to be very bad.
That Mr.. jerome will attempt to
controvert many of her statements
seems probable. He has confronted
her with DR.. Carlton Flint, whom she
declared she had never seen before.
MIR. Jerome several times asked her. If
1t were not true that she had gone to
DR.. Flint with Jack Barrymore and
she denied that she had. 1t is also
said that Mr.. Jenome will place on
tho stand several chorus girls and
others who knew of the relations be-
tween Miss Nesbh and Stanford

This weeks offering at the Gayety is the Rice and Barton burlesque company. Managers Rice and Bartons long experl- ence in the line of extravaganza com panies has taught them the wisdom of having good choruses. The Rice and Bar ton shows, therefore. have been noted for the style and makeup of their chorus girls. This season an especial effort has been made to get the very best mate rial obtainable. More than 200 hundred girls were selected, out of whom thirty would be chosen. Four qualifications vera necessary-beauty, shapelness, voice and dancing ability, The big musical come dies were gone over, and by the offer of large salaries and other privileges dear to the hearts of the chorus girl the re- quired number was gotten together. The result is said to be q regular beauty chorus. as well as one with talent There is every kind of girl in the chosen number, and each one has Individuality. From the tall and stately "Gibson" girl to the dim pied little "Christy" girl, each type Is represented. Each girl has a voice which she knows how to use and the marches and dances are filled with pleasing and difficult intricacies Beautifully gowned and costumed and aided, too, by a skill

While des- tined to cause thrills of secret joy to the heart of hundreds of thousands of bald headed men, it is no less pleasing in an- other way, to their wives, sisters, daugh- ters and sweethearts.
 In Micheal Angelos great paintings you
 see choirs of angeles floating on the easily and gracefully. The aerial ballet floats just as easily in the air, each angel, a girl, apparently as much at home as the birds. Of course, there must be wires, but they are invisible to the sharpest eye. While the nymphs of tn ballet cleave the emyprean blue, huns dreds of live doves, released from the highest balcony. perch on their heads, arms and shoulders.
