that it was not true that Stanford
White had drugged and wronged her?''
TO this HumInel replied, "She GER
tainly did," and finally Mr.. Delmas
said that both the question and answer
could stand
How crucial the affidavit signed by
Evelyn NeSbit was to the case of the
prosecution was made apparent by Je-
rome when he quoted the following
paragraph from the document:
"He Thaw) beat me when was in
Europe; he stripped me and dashed
me with whip; he did it to make me
swear to paper to put a married man
in the penitentiary, and l. stood his
beatings and lashings and refused to
do it because 1t was not So"
These We're said to have been Eve
Ign Nesbit's own words, to which she
swore when she returned to this city
from Europe in 1903. But in June OF
that year, she testified, she had told
Thaw in Paris. when he asked her to
become his wife, that she could not dc
so because she had been drugged and
ruined by White and if Thaw married
her he would be regarded as fool by
his friends.
Two Far Reaching Questions.
1t seemed as if the girl had made a
sublime renunciation, and the defense
contended that it had unhinged the de
PENDANTS mind and caused him to Kill
the architect. But did Evelyn Nesbit
ever make the remuneration? Did she
ever tell Thaw she had been ruined by
Stanford White? These questions, Je
rome pointed out in his efforts to get
the affidavit into evidence, went to the
bottom of the case. If it could be
shown that Evelyn Thaw never tolG
Thaw the story of having been wrong
ed by White, Jerome said, the insanity
plea of the defendant necessarily Re
ceived a severe setback, and 1t was f6l
the jury to determine from all the
facts whether the girl really had TOLD
the remarkable story to Thaw.
jerome quoted many decisions t.
show the evidence he offered was ma
terial and admissible. He, commended
that as the jury must decide whether
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw told the truth or

that the question whether what Eve
lyn Nesbit had told Thaw was true or
untrue was not an issue in the present
case, her testimony having been admit
ted simply as evidence tending to show
how the defendants mind was affect
ed by it. Nor did Jerome offer the af-
fidavit as evidence tending to show
White did not ruin her, as that ques-
ton also was not before the jury.
But the document, the district attor-
ney contended, became competent evi-
dence as showing that Evelyn Nesbit
never told the drugging story to Thaw,
and consequently his mind. could not
have. been affected by it.
James Clinch Smith told a remarka-
bly, clear, suceinct story of the events
on Madison Square roof garden the
night White was killed and of long
conversation he had with Thaw just
prior to the shooting He is brother
in-law of Stanford White.
Discussed Wall Street.
1t seems that Thaw sat for some
time with Smith during the fateful
first performance of ''MamZelle Cham
payne" and discussed with him a vari-
ETY. of topics in manner, Mr.. Smith
declared, such as any sane man would
talk. Mr. Smith gave the conversation
in detail, emitting nothing, he asserted
With the brother-in-law of the man
who was so soon to be victim of his
pistol Thaw discussed the play, Wal
street, common acQuaintances, plans
for the summer and many other things
including a 'buxom brunette whom
Thaw declared he was anxious to have
Smith meet. Thaw said he and his
wife were going abroad later in the
summer.
There was no hint anywhere in the
repeated conversation of Thaw's in
tent to inflict bodily harm upon any
one.

applied and received no book. Mr..
McKechnie was asked why, and first
said that resolution of the agents
only authorized him to give out the
information on the written request of
the owners. He was told that MIR.
Runyon was an owner as we'll as Chief
Engineer, then said that at the time
of the request he had no copies in the

Mr.. Ennis asked some questions as
regards stocks, as did also President
Smith and then on question Mr.. Girls

John Simmins reported visit to

other applications were made at in

again and about the same amount OF
