tears 10 abandon his profession for
the operate stage. But DIR. Deane
now had patients and was not looking
for another occupation.
A week from the following Sunday n
newspaper published an illustrated ar
ticle upon the violet case. There was
picture OF Dr. Deane singing with
Miss Winthrop. and n romance be-
tween them was vaguely limited.
Deane tore his hair when he read
this article. but Miss Winthrop came
to see him and laughed about Il. 9th
or people came 20 see him. They were
patients. and their pockets were full
OF money.
And the publicity did not cease. II
was cieverly kept going by Kendall
This was the veteran doctors amiable
revenge. He knew we'll enough why
Deane had avoided him. and IL was his
pet joke 70 get the younger mans name
into the papers. Reporters came 70 see
Dcane. and they were such good fel-
lows that he couldn't turn them away.
He was in the swim, and he couldn't
get out OF It.
Upon certain day Miss Elsa Ken
dali and her father came 20 New York.
and the girl was left 10 her own de-
vices while the gentleman attended 20
some business. Elsa found her way 10
n certain address. and there she saw
several carriages waiting before a door.
SO she walked around the block slowly
until but one carriage remained. Then
she ventured in.
She was escorted to a reception
room. where she waited alone. In q
drawing room adjoining voices were
singing with heavenly sweetness-Syd-
ney Deane's voice and Miss Wlnthrop's
beyond a doubt So the stories in the
papers were true. He had fallen in
love with this singer. Elsa charged II
10 her uncle and she hated him.
II was useless 10 remain there. She
would leave the house at once. and Sc
cretiy. She stepped into the hall. The
voices had now ceased. Suddenly the
door OF the drawing room opened. and
Nine. Sylvester and Miss Winthrop
came out Elsa shrank back into the
reception room. but she had had one
glimpse OF the brilliant beauty OF her
rival. and her heart was sore in her
breast
Deane escorted his guests TO their
carriage and returned to meet a sup
posed patient Still thrilling with the
emotions which music had excited. the
sudden sight OF Elsa touched the IN
most chord OF feeling in his nature.

EVELYN THAW
REPEATS STORY
Recites for Second
Time History of
Her Shame
JEROME OBJECTS IN VAIN
Court Overrules District At.
torney in Almost Every
Instance.

New York, Jan. 20.--When the
Thaw trial was resumed this morn
ing, Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was
called to the stand to repeat hel
story Of year ago. District Attor
ney Jerome Immediately renewed his
motion that the public and representa-
tives of the press be excluded but the
court overruled the motion. Mrs
Thaw then began the recital of the
story Of her experiences with Stan
ford White as she told 1t to Thaw In
Paris in 1903, when he asked her tc
become his wife.
Jerome Constantly Objected.
Jerome at once made strenuous OBJ
lection. He declared that the reci
tation Of her conversation years be-
fore the homicide could have nothing
to do with the insanity of the defend
ant at the time of the killing. He
was again oyerruled. Mrs. Thaw then
resumed her story which was substan'
TALLY the same as that which she told
on the stand last year.
Jerome constantly objected when it
seemed to him that the witness was
transgressing and this caused Justice
Bowling to rule that she must first
tell all she remembered of the con.
versation in question without any
questioning whatever from counsel
unless 1t appeared that the witness
had forgotten any detail; when her
attention might be called to them.
The witness then continued her
story and told of the actions of Thaw
when she recited to him the history
of her shame. Counsel Littleton
sought to get the story of her early
life before the jury but an objection
to this by Jerome was sustained. Lit.
tleton argued that the early life of
the witness had a great deal to do
with impressing Thaw with the truth
OF her story and thus had direct ef.
feet as to inducing insanity. Upon
this presentation Justice Bowling re-
yersed his former ruling and allowed
the witness to proceed.
Severe Cross. Examination.
District Attorney Jerome began his
cross.examination of Mrs. Evelyn Mes.

wind that was blowing while the fire
