Jerome's objection to this was also
sustained.
Delmas asked if he was to under
stand that the courts ruling on the
specific questions was to indicate thai
no further questions along the line OF
conversations between witness and de-
fendant were to be allowed.
Il think that counsel should be
guided by the spirit of the courts rul-

Fitzgerald. "The count has gone as
fully into the matter as it desires
Jerome's objection to the following
questions were sustained:
did you attend the theater with
Thaw in July. 1902"
What effect upon defendant did the
presence of White have?"
Upon your return from Europe in
1904. on the North German Lloyd

at the hands Of White?"
. I'm Paris did you tell Thaw about a
young woman who was known between

When did Mr.. Thaw make his last
proposal of marriage, the one which
you accepted?"
Il think about April 1, 1906"
What did he say to you at that
time?"
Mrs. Thaw Excused.
Delmas announced that as the courts
ruling prevented him from going fur
ther into these matters because of a
lack of preliminarysA foundation, he
would ask leave to Shdraw the wit

along other lines, re- ng the right

he held that in case Of this sort, IT

withdrawal of Mrs. Thaw. and Delmas

asked Delmas.
Delmas and Jerome then had long
argument on the law covering the mat

clusion of the argument Fitzgerald said
he could make no ruling because there
was no question pending. Delmas then
asked Wagner to go over the details OF
his second visit and give conversations.
Jerome objected and was sustained.
The defense noted an exception.

visit Thaw was suspicious, reticent and
apprehensive and fearful lest he be de-
clared insane. Wagner was accom-
panied by DIR. Evans, of the insane hos

second visit. On this occasion as soon
as the object of the alienists' visit was
stated. Thaw turned on his heel and
abruptly left the room.
