 all. Thus Thaw sat for many minutes, and when he finally lifted his head his eyes were red and swollen.
 Once Mrs. Thaw was excused for an hour while Lawyer Frederick Longfel- low was sworn to fix the date of cer- tain letters written to him by Harry Thaw subsequent to the revelations Miss Nesbit had made to him in Paris.
 The letters, which eventually were offered in evidence after much object ing by Mr. Jerome and a food of ar- gument by opposing counsel, are re- garded as corroborative of Mrs. Thaw's testimony, which she often declared, in response to objection of fered from time to time by the district attorney, was a repetition of the req sons she had given Thaw for refusing to become his wife. They also were offered as tending to show the state of mind of the defendant just after he had heard from her own lips the story of the girl he loved and her relations with the man 1t Is claimed he killed as a result of insanity inherited in part and induced by circumstances.
 The letters were written by Thaw to MT. Longfellow as his attorney. They told of his coming marriage with Miss Nesbit and the ''row they want to raise" Disconnected and jerky, jumping from subject to subject, they nevertheless breathe the love he bore the girl.
 The girl paid many tributes to her L Az sFr -I,1 all.
 Called Her His Angel.
 "When I told him the story in Paris" she said, The came to me and picked up the hem of my skirt and kissed it and said he would always love me. He nearly always called me his angel We sat together that night until daylight talking the matter over. The effect on Harry was terrible. He sobbed and walked the floor.
 Stanford White sent me to school in New Jersey in October, 1902, and early in 1908 I became i'll. The doctors came and said an operation was necessary. They told me I was very sick, but did not say what was the matter. MT. Thaw came to see me.
 ''When I recovered I found he had made arrangements for my mother to take me abroad to recuperate. It was while we were in Paris on this trip that he proposed to me-
 Mrs. Thaw Continues Story.
 During her second days examination Mrs. Thaw testified to the following strong points for the defense:
 That Stanford White had attempted to resume his attentions to her after her marriage to Thaw. That she had repulsed him in every way and had told her husband of the situation.
 That Thaw acted like a madman when informed Stanford White had tried to address her.
 That Thaw had told her that other girls had been victims of MT. White.
 Dolphin M Delmas stated that there was documentary evidence to show that Thaw believed his allegation against the architect to be true.
 District Attorney Jerome sent Q thrill of excitement through the courtroom by vigorously protesting against "this defamation of the dead"
 Mrs. Thaw on Stand Again.
 In the third days examination of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, District Attorney Jerome cut short her story of the cir cumstances that led her husband. Har- ry Kendall Thaw, to kill Stanford White.
 Objecting successfully to nearly ev- cry question asked the young wife by Dolphin M Delmas, MT. Jerome finally compelled the defense to withdraw the witness for the time and fall back upon its corps of insanity experts.
 To this end MT. Delmas called Dr. Charles G. Wagner, superintendent of the State Asylum For the Insane at Binghamton, N. Y. pr. Wagner, quail Thaw six times between August and October, 1906. .........
 The evidence of the alienist was pretty effectually blocked by the dis trict attorneys objection, the court rul- ing that the expert could give only his observations and not relate any con- versations.
 Long Hypothetical Question.
 Finally MT. Delmas framed a twenty minute hypothetical question: to which Dr. Wagner replied that at the time Of the murder Thaw did not know the act was wrong, was suffering from q defect of reason and was insane.
 In his hypothetical question MT. Del mas accused Stanford White of having ''drugged" the Nesbit girl and of hay ing attempted to renew "communica- ton of relations" with her subsequent to her marriage. MT. Jerome objected to these features Of the question, and it was amended to embrace the eyi- dence of record as to the disputed points
 All that MT. Delmas got upon the record from Mrs. Thaw's lips was the statement that young Thaw went arm ed only when in this city and her iden- titication of her note to her husband written at the Cafe Martin a few hours before the murder, with the statement that it referred to White.
 This note, disclosed for the first time, was put in evidence. 1t read: | ''That b. was here q minute ago.
