The Celebrated Case Took a Recess on Account of
 Washinston's Birthday
MUST GO ON AGAIN
Attorney Jerome Will Take Up His Severe Cross Examination of Her When Court Convenes 
 Monday.

New York, Feb 22.-Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has three days to rest and pre- pare for continuation of the ordeal which she is undergoing at the hands of District Attorney Jerome. The Thaw trial was adjourned last night until Monday morning. after little Mrs Thaw had spent the entire day on the stand under searching. fay ing cross-examination at the hands of the district attorney.
 On Monday morning she will again take the stand and will be forced to go into more details of her eventful young life. All day long she is ex- pected to be on the stand and there is considerable question whether even then the district attorney will be through with her.
 Her associations with both White and Thaw after her return from Flu rope in 1903; the interviews with Abe Hummel when was drawn the famous affidavit which she has de- nied she had any part in framing; the European trip of 1904; the incl dent of the Cumberland hotel and other incidents with Thaw, following her return; her marriage and the subsequent events. up to the fatal night on the Madison Square Garden; none of these have been inquired into on cross-examination It would seem that the climax of sensationalism had been reached yesterday. but. 1t is said, the district attorney expects to bring out on Monday incidents of at least as sensational character as those of yesterday.
 No woman ever before faced a more terrible ordeal on the witness stand than Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, ap ordeal that is not yet half over.
 Although 1t Was very evident that the slender, frail, childish wife of Harry K. Thaw was under great strain yesterday, only once did she give way to tears. That was when, after fencing with the district attor- 'ney for an hour, she was finally driven into a corner by his almost brutal questions 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 fenc- ing she had not been able to keep tC herself the secrets which she knew must injure her husbands chances.
 Throughout the day Harry Thaw sat in his accustomed place at the end of the table, flanked on both sides by his lawyers. When his wife wept he buried bis face in his hands for a moment, but during most oi the day he made notes on a pad oi paper or conversed excitedly in whis pers with those of his counsel who sat nearest him. When court ad iourned he hurried back to tho Tombs with a smile on his face.
 The detail of the European trip oi 1904 is still to be gone into. The re turn to America and the false an nouncement of Thaw's marriage tc Evelyn Nesbit when the first scanda arose is still to be told of. The fact! of the pursuit of the young woman by Stanford White after her mar riage, which the defense told of 1T the opening address. must be brought out. The relations of the two be fore marriage must be described ir detail. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's ordea fs by no means over.
 Of course the actual truth of tht story which Mrs Thaw told her hus band and which is said to have un balanced his mind cannot be ques toned. If she told him the stor, and as a result his mind became de ranged. the truth of the story is i'm material. All that the cross-examina lion can develop Is a doubt as to tho yeracity of the witness. doubt as tt whether she really did tell him ol not. That is all the cross-examina tion can show-all but one thing. Il is for the fury to decide whether con stant brooding on the story whicl Evelyn Nesbit told Harry Thaw abou her treatment at the hands of Stan ford White actually caused derange ment of his mind sufficient to make him incapable of knowing he wal doing wrong when he killed Whte Did Thaw's actions after he heart tbe story, did his relations witi Evelyn Nesbit covering period O two years after this revelation. dit his treatment of her and of White and a thousand other things indicat' that he vas breeding over the stor! m that he was taking advantage O Iii, This is for the jury to decide and this is the doubt that Distric Attorney Jerome is attempting to In sfIII in the minds of the jurors.
 Whatever the result may be. thi is certain-Evelyn Nesbit Thawl --I-f fs uof nearly ovor
