every one apparently re.tshing tRe re- spite from the scenes when Aarked this week proceedings.
 By the time lhe nearing ie resumed next Monday morning it expecsed mat Mrs. kveyn Nesbt EThaw w.li have entirely recovered her conposuie and he prepared to aRain taKe her place in the witness clsAir. On Thurs uay 1t was sad the young woman was on the verge off Hines and thai cup of broth had been her only sus- tanance for two days.
 Sne was so weaxened as the result Of her day experience tlfat she re- tired immediately upon reaching her today.
 The only reason which took her for her bed evn then was the call she had promised to make on her hus- band in the Tonibs prison. Ordinarily visitors are not allowed in the big gray buildings on holidays but an ex- ception was made today with regard to Harry Thaw's wife and counsel
 It was well after noon when Mrs Thaw arrived at the prison. She was accompanied by Daniel o'Reilly, one of her husbands counsel and was shown at once Into the consultation room There had been reports in some or the carry editions Of the papers to- day to the effect that Thaw was him. self in bad physical condition but when he appeared to greet his wife he declared that he was feeling ev- oeptlonaliy well and was enjoying his us Il vigorous health.
 As Thaw rushed into the conference room he ciasped his wife in his arms saying: My dear, little brave wife
 The two talked together for a tong time and then Mir. o'Reilly was called into conference. Mrs. Thaw Seemed Worried.
 Mrs. Thaw was pale and worn, to- day but when approached by newspa- DOT men smiled and tried to appear cheerful, In reply to- questions she seid slse wAs feeling prctty weli5
 Distfict Attorney Jerome has gone to Lakeviile, Conn. to spend the hoii- day recess with hls family. Nearly all Of ThaYs counsel remained at their homes.
 The District Attorney win keep Mrs Thaw on the stand at least day and half more and may even stretcn his searching cross exainination through twice that length of time IL will depend upon how Mrs. Thaw fee s at the end of this period ss to wheth CT or not Th WIS counsel will 40 ahead with [ cir redirect exafninat. ton of her. .-f. Delmas has been niak 4 ing copious notes during Mr. Jerome questioning of the witness and he wfIl likely endeavor to place different light upon some of the incidents which have been disclosed
 With the cross examination only ha.f completed and with the redirect examination and re-cross examinations still in view there seems no way to approximate the number of days in the witness chair Mrs. Thaw has be- fore her. If she is much fatigued at the end of MT. Jerome's first cross examination she may be released for time, subject to recall in view of the fact, however. that the defendants counsel forced the district attorney to proceed with the cross examinatIon against his will and he will very nKs- ly insist in return that they shall also conclude with the witness before she Is excused from the stand.
 Mrs. Thaw on direct examination Identified forty-two letters as being In the handwriting of Stanford White. The letters were not written to her but to another girl. Mir. DE!mas evil dantly is holding these letters for in- troduction during the redirect exami- nation and evidently hopes to have them admitted as offsetting soulething Mir. Jerome was expected to bri.ig out on cross examination.
 No intimation has been given as to what the letters contained or to whom they were written. They may consti- tute new element of surprise which is yet to be injected into a case which has already been so prolific of as- toupding incidents.
 On Monday morning Mrs. Thaw will again take the stand and will be fore ed to go Into more details of her Aventful young life. All day long she is expected to be on the stand and there Is considerable question whether even then the district attorney will be through with her.
 Interviews With BummeI.
 Her associations with both Thaw and White. after he- return from Euro in 1903; the interviews with Abe Hum mel when was drawn the famous af- fldavit which she has denied she had any part In framing. the European tr' of 1904; the Incident of the Cum berland Hotel and other incidents with Thaw following her return; her mar riage and the subsequent events up to the fatal night of the Madison Square Garden-ncne of these have been in. quired into on cross examination. It w-ul' seem that the climax of sensa. tionalism had been reached vss: e-dav. but 1t Is said that the district attorney evrec,s to bring out on Monday incl. dents of at least q sensational charac- ter as those of vssterdly.
 No woman ever befo-e faced a more | terrible ordeal on the witness stand than Evelyn Nesbit Thaw--an ordeal traF is not vet ha'f over.
 Altrou~h r. wss very evident that this slender f-an childish wife Of Harry K Thaw was under great qt~air yeste~dav. rnlv once did she give way to tears. That was when after fencing with the district attor- rev for an hour she was finally driven into a corner by his almost brutal oraetioninr and took refuge in tears
 But even then the tears did not seem to be caused so much by the details she was obliged to tell as by the fact that with all her fencing she had not been able to keep to herself the se- crets which she knew must lnjure her husbands chances.
 Throuehout the day Harry K. Thaw sat in his accustomed place at the end of the table, ianked on both sides by his lawyers. When bis wife wept, he buried his face in his hands Tor moment, but during most of the
