i ] nav IS said To nave Selll lo w LltS' I1O brought out that the cablegrams were sent after Thaw knew of the relations which had existed between Miss Nesbit and the architect. Mrs. Thaw would not admit that she knew positively who sent the cablegrams or whether her name was signed to them
 Surely" remarked MT. Jerome, ''you don't mean to say that he signed his own name?"
 "No," she replied, q don't mean that at all"
 A letter written by Mrs. Thaw in 1904 and telling of her gay life in Paris with Harry Thaw and "a buch from the tenderloin" was read to the jury by MT. Jerome. This brought out more testimony as to ''The Dead Rat, Par isian cafe. There seemed to be nothing 1 in the witness past life about which 1 the prosecutor was not informed. He seems to have been able to trace her every step and this seems to have been | largely due to the typewriter state- ment of the mother which he nearly al- ways hold in his hand while hurling telling questions at the daughter. In single spaced type writing the state ment seems to cover fully seventy-fve pages.
 The spring of sensations did not all rest with the district attorney. MT. Delmas sent genuine thrill through the court room by declaring that he had been informed 1t was the purpose of the district attorney to indict Mrs. Thaw. MT. Jerome denied ehat any such statements had been made. He did not deny the purpose.
 This incident came about near the close of the forenoon session when Mir. Jerome. in an effort to make the de- fense produce certain letters from Stanford White which Mrs Thaw had declared were in the possession of Cliff ford Hartridge, one of her husbands attorneys, called ME, Hartridge to the witness stand. The lawyer declined to answer any questions relating to the letters and when 1t became necessary for him to give some better reason than the mere fact that he was attorney of record for the defendant, Mr. Delmas arose and stated that Mir Aartridge had been retained by Mrs. Thaw to pro- tect her interests when she had heard the threats that she was to be indicted,
 During the Afternoon when Mrs Thaw had been recalled she declared she vas perfectly willing that the let ters should be produced
 "They are your property, are they not?" asked MT. Jerome.
 No l gave them to MT. Thaw,"
 MT, Jerome directed his assistant, Mr Garvan, to have subpoena issued for MT Hartrdge. When this was done, MT. Jerome again demandel the letters. Mir Hartridge said he had no intention of complying as he had received the letters from the hands of the defenant Mr. Jerome appealed to Justice Fitz- I gerald. He had neglected to have an affidavit made as to the service of the subpoena and Justice Fitzgerald said there was nothing upon which he could act Mir Garvan was directed by his chief to draw up the affidavit. There the matter rested, however. Mir. Jerome made no further move.
 Just after the luncheon recess the district attorney wanted permission to discontinue the cross-examination of Mrs. Thaw long enough 10 take the tes- ltimony of Drs. Deemar, of Kittanning, Pa, and Bingaman, of Pittsburg, both of whom are to testify as to traces of insanity in both branches of the de- fendant's family MT. Jerome said he was informed that the physicians were about to leave the jurisdiction of. the court
 'They are returning to Pittsburg to- nisf1t" said MT. Partridge, "but they will be back at any time they are wanted Mrs Thaw is under most severe strain and her examination should be concluded at once"
 In view of the district attorneys statement, Justice Fitzgerald thought Drs. Deemar and Bingaman should be heard. They were called ao the stand and said that, while they were anxious to get back to their patients, they would stay if necessary.
 MT. Jerome insisted that their testi- mony be taken, and Thaw's counsel in- sisted that Mrs. Thaw's -exarnina-
 tion should proceed.
 we will settle the matter by sitting
 tomorrow and Saturday" said Justice
 Fitzgerald.
 Just before adjournment for the day, however, MT, Jerome weakened He
 said he felt that the physicians would be available when wanted, and asked
 that the recess over the holiday and until Monday be taken. Counsel for
 the defense said they would consent
 for their position remained unchanged Mrs, Thaw will again be upon the stand all of Monday, and possibly all
 of Tuesday.
