The Thaw Trial.

New York, March l4.--Judge Fitz-
gerald in the Thaw trial today sustained
Delmas's objection to the conversation
between Hummel and Evelyn immed-
lately preceding the dictstion of the
Hummel affidavit. Upon the introdnc-
ton of this conversation Jerome had
based his hope of getting In the affidavit
itself, and the courts ruling is victory
for the defense. In the affidavit Evelyn
Is alleged to have denied ever telling
Thaw White wronged her, and TO have
asserted Thaw beat her because she re-
fused to sign documents prepared BY him
setting forth that White had betrayed
her.
Delmas began spesking in reply 10
Jerome's argument Of yesterday at l0:43.
Jerome replied briefly, pointing ont
that he had asked Evelyn specifically
whether she had made each of these
statements 10 Hummel and she said no.
He commended that the question was
relevant 10 the highest degree. In ruling
out the important question Justice Fitz-
gerald tersely said: "The cases cited by
the district attorney are not authorities
on the point. The objection is sus"
tanned"
Jerome clearly showed he felt the de-
feat. He sat quietly few moments be-
fore he tried to continue the examlna-
ton of Hummel, who had In the mean
time taken the stand. Then he began
by putting the points contained 10 q
long involved question, which had just
been overruled into single questions.
Several brisk clashes resulted between
Jerome and Delmas In which each show
ed temper.
Jerome began by asking:
"At the interview Evelyn Thsw had
with you in your Office October q, 1908,
did she, prior to your debating anything
tell you that she had told Thaw 1t was
not true that White had drugged her and
wronged herr"
Before Delmas could object, Hnmmel
seeing his chance, answered: "She GER
tainly did"
"And You call yourselfa lawyer
Numbered Delmas at the little witness,
advancing toward Hummel.
Jerome suggested that the answer be
stricken out.
"No," shouted Delmss, 'The answer
should be given. 1t is before the jury.
will waive my privilege to object and
meet It at the proper time"
Jerome seemed to fear he had blum
dered aud wanted the answer stricken
out but Delmss won in having it re-
main.
'Tn your Office on October q, 1908,
did Evelyn, without dictstion from you,
say Thaw had prepared documents
charging White with having drugged
and betrayed her when che was about
fifteen years old, and had be inaisted on
her signing these documents, but she
told ThsW she would not sign as the
statements were not true?
81 object" said Delmas. "The dis
trict attorney Is merely dividing into
shorter questions the long question tc
which the court had just substained
my objection.
After further colloquies recess was
| declared.

District Attorney, while alienated from
