NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.--Distrtct At
tome Jerome having lost his fight to
keep Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's alleged
m~ssireatment at the hands of stan
ford White from being told in open
court, the young m~illionaire's wife VIII
on Monday publicly repeat the shock
ing recital which at the last trial took
five DAYS in the telling. The prosecutor
threw public decency into the balance
aeainst Evelyn Thaw's story, but JUS
lice bowling has decided against him.
Justice Bowling cannot see that there
should be public suppression of testt-
mony chat already has been so widely
printed, and Mr.. Jerome's application
for a hearing in camera for that por-
ton of Evelyn Thaw's testimony will
be denied, unless the justice changes
his opinion before Monday morning,
when the trial will be resumed.
So on Monday morning Thaw's wife
Will again begin her tale of Whites
alleged mistreatment of her. h will
begin at the very time she met the
noted architect and carry her tale
through all It's hideousness to the time
she became Thaw's wife, and then on
TO the night Thaw shot White to death
on the roof of Madison Square Garden.
RI the district attorney Is permitted
to attempt to disprove statements made
by Evelyn to Thaw, it is expected that
he will leave no stone unturned to
show her up as q falsifier, thereby
clearing the name of Stanford White.
At the last trial Evelyn Thaw con-
tented herself with telling how White
had m~istreated her, showered presents
upon her, mistreated her again. and
then given her more presents, only to
drag her down again. At this trial she
will also be compelled to testify to
Harry Thaw's mental condition.
if there is anyone, even including
Thaw's mother. Mrs. William Thaw,
who can tell of Harry Thaw's mental
state. it is the former artists model
and chorus girl. Her testimony regard
ing Thaw's eccentricities while he was
attentive to her in his country. while
The two were travelling together in
Europe, after they returned to this
country, and after their marriage in
Pittsburg, will play a most important
part in the insanity plea that has been
made for Thaw.
Although her testimony bearing on
Thaw's insanity may be the means of
annuling her marriage to Thaw on the
ground that he was insane when he
took her to wife n the ceremony was
therefore invalid, and although she
knows that such al annullment will in
all probability cut her off from her lib
eral income, Evelyn Thaw does not
seem worried.
Nothing does seem to worry this
pink-cheeked, rubicund woman Of
robust health and indomitable spirit,
who a year ago was IilSened unto a
faded flower.
The contrast between Evelyn Thaw
and Mrs. William Thaw, the aged and
feeble mother of her husband, Is strik-
ing. The mother is bowed with grief.
She seems to shrink from public gaze,
and when she appeared in the court
room a veil covered her face and her
silvery white hair.
Mrs. William Thaw is at her hotel,
La Lorraine, today, endeavorlng to
muster her strength for the ordeal that
viii come on Monday.
