Heard White Was Married Man.
Il had heard at the theater that he
was married" she said.
/ Then Jerome took her 20 the night at
Martins. just before the killing of White.
She didn't know Whites son, she said,
and she didn't know he was with him
when he came into the restaurant. She
thought she saw two young men with
him when he went out
When they went 10 the roof garden
she met Capt Wharton. Thaw left them
| for about fifteen minutes or half an
J hour. Then Thaw came back, and she
talked 10 him for about an hour
Constantly" said Mr Jerome.
4 shouldn't say that" she replied.
Jerome read the testimony at the last
trial, when she said she talked 10 Thaw
constantly about the play. Then she said
that was right
She couldn't remember how much they
had to drink at the dinner She knew
Thaw and McCaleb had wine
Jerome read from d slip Of paper that
the men had cocktails and two quarts
of wine. She said she didn't know
whether they had two quarts of wine
or not She didn't think Thaw was agi-
tated when she talked TO him on the
roof
And that is the truth" said Jerome.
Noticed No Agitation.
Yes, I can't say anything else" she
replied. positively, because 1 did not
notice that he was agitated'
were leaving, she turned and did not
see Thaw. Then she saw White sitting
at table.
After looking at White for a minute
she saw Tnaw walk up with his hand
stuck out in front Of him. The shots
followed, and she said, MY God. he
has shot him"
As l understand your testimony at
this trial" said Jerome. you first saw
the defendant Is that true?'
Yes" she said.
Your testimony at the last trial was
that you first saw White sitting at a
table and in a minue saw Thaw"
Yes, that's right said the young
woman. 4 saw Thaw walking toward
the table Then / saw Mr.. White at
the table. ! looked at him for a min
ate, and then / turned and saw Mr.
Thaw. / didn't look at them both at
the same time. That's right
What She Told HummeI.
Jerome tackled again. this time 10 the
visit she made to HummeTs Office She
didn't tell Hummel, she said, Thaw hated
White.
But at the last trial" said Jerome
reading from the record, you said you
told Humme that Thaw hated White
and thought he ought to be in the peni-
Tertiary"
That's right" she said. II il is there"
She had heard some talk, she said. that
White and his friends had had Thaw ex-
cluded from some club. She thought il
was Frederick Gebhardt who had done il.
She didn't know what club ii was
Wasn't 1t the Knickerbocker?" asked
Jerome.
Il did not hear" she said.
did Thaw tell you why he had been
eXcluded2' Jerome asked
He did not" she said
And you never heard2"
Il never did" she replied.
Record supports Jerome.
Did you tell HummeI that Thaw want
ed White put in the penitentiary?" said
Jerome.
Il can't answer that" she said. be
cause that was not the way I put it,"
But that was about the substance Of
it. as the reading of her testimony
showed. Jerome paused for some time.
and then said
That's ALL"
There was nothing TO show that Mrs.
Thaw was tired. Littleton asked her
few questions about where they sat that
night in Martins, and then he said:
That's all"
The young woman was off the stand in
a jifIy, but Jerome called her back.
Just another question" he said,
ThaW leaned over and whispered to
Littleton. Then he put his hand 20 his
ear and waited for Jerome
When YOU told this story to Thaw in
Paris, in 1893, was he excited asked
Jerome.
Yes" she said.
Did he act like a man who was crazy
or a man who was terribly grieved be-
cause Of a wrong that had been done to
some one he loved
Too Excited 10 Notice.
Littleton objected to the form Of the
question. He was sustained by Justice
Bowling
Well" said Jerome, was he rational
or irrationaI?"
4 couldn't say" said Mrs. Thaw. dodg-
ing Il was much excited myself"
Jerome produced the record of the last
trial at which she said Thaw was "a
tionaL She said that was right
We'll, was he other than rationale
asked Jerome,
4 couldn't say that he was" she re-
piled.
That ended her examination
Frederick W. DOngfellOw. who was /
Thaw's counsel. was the next witness |
called by Littleton. He Identified a batch |
OF letters written by Thaw to him and to |
Evelyn Nesbit IN 1903 and in 1904. Then |
Littleton offered the letters IN evidence.
Thaw VALVES Privilege.
Jerome objected that Longfellow could
not be allowed to testify to communica- |
tions he received from his client, as they
were privileged. unless the waiver was /
made in open court by Thaw. To this. |
Llttleton said the letters were produced |
by Thaw; that they were his letters. and /
that he had a right to Introduce them as |
evidence.
But Justice Bowling held that the /
waiver had 10 be made He read the /
form to Thaw. If Thaw heard what Jus /
tice Bowling said he didn't show any
sign of It, If he did hear, he didn't I'M
derstand. Littleton had to explain to /
him what was going on. Then Thaw /
raised himself half out of his chair and 1
nodded his head in assent.
After that the usual afternoon recess
was taken.
