,he went on with some difficulty.

Planned to Take Lsudanum.
 During her testimony 1t was brought out, although not placed in evidence, that Thaw and his wife had tried to engage passage for Europe on the Sat urday preceding the Monday on which the tragedy occurred on the same steamship Mrs. William Thaw had taken. Unable to do this, they had bought tickets for steamship leav, ing the following Friday and would have gone abroad but for the death of MT White,
 With reference to Thaw's plan for both to end their lives, Mrs. Thaw tes tified: a- .E i
 "One day at the Grand hotel in New York, early in 1904, Harry was very Respondent and said my life had been ruined and his life had been ruined that all sorts of stories had been circu lated about him, and he was going tc end it all by suicide, and he wanted me to do the same. He went so far as to fix the time and place and every, thing. He said he would go to the Waldorf and get dinner, and then he would take laudanum.
 She Used Diplomacy.
 When he was in one of these moods, I always agreed and said yes to everything he suggested I thought that was the best way. After dinner Insisted that we go to the theater."
 Was that the last of it?"
 "1t was the last until we went lateI In 1904 to Europe. I came in one day at Monte Carlo, and Harry's face was chalky white. asked him what was the matter, and he said: I've done 1t It is all over. Everything's all over.'
 q asked him what he meant. He said: I've done it. I've taken bottle of laudanum.' l thought he Was trying to scare me, but he told me where l could find the bottle, and he got vio lently ill.,"
 Mrs. Thaw then gave the details of securing physicians and the manner in which they worked over Thaw all night to save his life.
 Never Thought of Mother.
 Evelyn's story attracted only a pass. ing degree of interest when compared with the bitter cross examination of MT. Jerome. Time and again the wit, ness raised her voice in anger in reply. ing to the district attorneys questions Thaw was unmoved during his wife's harassment He read his collection of crank letters. looked over MT. Pea body's shoulder to look at the record of his wife's testimony on the previous trial and conversed with his counsel. He seemed rather bored, and his fire. quent wide expressionless smiles were lacking.
 Asked in very direct language if she told Thaw that Stanford White had attacked her more than once, the wit. ness said:
 T did. but I did not use the Ian guage you are using"
 Did you think your mother was a true woman and yet trying to sell you?'
 II never thought of my mother in that way" shouted the witness.
 "I Cried All the Time"
 Then Mir. Jerome began to question in detail the witness in regard to the individual time that she went out alone with Stanford White. As she went into details his questions brought tears into Eyelyn's eyes. and another time she was on the point of collapse. Every ear was bent to catch her re- plies, which as the terrible ordeal pro, gressed grew fainter and fainter.
 "You went six or seven times with Stanford White of your own free will?" q did not go of my own free will. I had to go. What else could I do?"
 "Did you scream out when he at tackled you in the tower, in the Twen- ty-fourth street studio, in the Twenty second street studio, on the seven or eight times you say he attacked youT" "I cried all the time"
 "Did you scream for help?" ''No."
 Did you continue to go to his par ties?" Yes"
 Did you continue to accept money from himT" "Yes."
 Thought All Women Bad.
 "You thought you were as good as other women-you thought all women were unchaste, you testifed?' "Yes."
 When you were abroad with Thaw you lived with him?" Yes"
 Did you cry your protest then or consider he had attacked you?' No" "Why did you go out with Thaw to Because I was in love with him. for one thing"
 Mrs. Thaw's anger showed frequent ly. She leaned forward. with her hand clenched. and a scowl darkened her pretty features. and she raised her voice to match Mir. Jerome's louder tones.
