ORDEAL GOES ON MONDAY

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.--There was
an affecting scene between Harry X.
Thaw and his wife in the Tombs
prison yesterday. when both broke
down and wept. Mrs. Thaw had spent
several hours getting special permis-
sion to visit her husband and finally
succeeded. She went to Commissioner
Coggey and pleaded to be allowed to
see her husband. Commissioner Cog
gey Informed her that as 1t was a
holiday the rules did not permit visit
ors in the prison. Mrs. Thaw became
so importunate, however, that the com
missioner finally relented and gave
her a pass.
As soon as she received it Mrs. Thaw
hurried to the Tombs. When the pris-
oner reached his wife he caught her
in his arms, fairly lifting her from her
feet, and held her long in close en-
brace. Both were crying bitterly
MY dear, brave little wife!" Thaw
kept repeating over and over again.
Mrs. Thaw's sobs could be heard clear
to the corridor at the front of the jail.
During the scene Dan O'Reilly tiptoed
out of the room and left the pair to-
gethcr.
Mrs. Thaw was pale and worn, but
when approached by newspaper men
smiled and tried to appear cheerful.
In reply to questions she said she was
"feeling pretty WELL
Mrs. Thaw has identified forty-two
letters as being In the handwriting of
Stanford White. The letters were not
written to her, but to another girl Mr.
Delmas evidently is holding these let
ters for introduction during the re-
direct examination and evidently hopes
to have them admitted as offsetting
the coup that Jerome is expected to
bring out on the next cross eXamina
tion. No intimation has been given as
they were written. They may consti-
tute n new element of surprise which
is yet to be injected into a case which
has already been SO prolific of astound-
ing incidents.
Mr.. Jerome's cross examination shows
with information as to countless Incl
dents in the life of her daughter Eve
lyn between the time Stanford White
first met her in the summer of 1901 and
her trip abroad with Harry X. Thaw
in 1903.
Jerome will probably keep Mrs.
Thaw under fire two days more.
