stories about the man you loved? asked Mir. Jerome. Yes"
 You believed them also from the man who had wronged your" Yes"
 y FaithIessness of Woman.
 Mir. Jerome tried to discredit the wit ness by forcing her to admit that she was untrue to Thaw as soon as she got back to White. that she did not love Thaw and that her affections changed like the wind.
 Referring to the letters Thaw had written Evelyn before he returned and which she had given to Abe Hummel, Jerome spoke in biting terms of the constancy and faithfulness of wo. man who would take the love mis- sives of the man she loved and give them to the man who ruined her"
 Mr. Jerome questioned the witness again on her trip to Europe in 1903, when Thaw is said to have attempted suicide. .x
 You were in Paris when the doctor was called in for MT. Thaw?" Yes"
 Do you know the name of the doc tor?" No" ... ..&.4.
 The fact that the witness and Thaw then toured the English cathedral towns was brought out and that they then separated from her mother.
 "When did you next see your moth- er?' asked Mir Jerome.
 q have not seen her since, except at my marriage" said Mrs. Thaw sadly.
 Mother Appealed to Wadsworth.
 Craig Wadsworth's name was men, tioned when the testimony veered to the incident of aThaw's running away with Evelyn, leaving Mrs. Holman in London.
 "Your mother, complained to the American embassy, where Craig Wads- worth was attache, that Thaw had run off with you. did she not?' Il don't know that she did, and nobody else did until you asked it on the first trial"
 ''Well, let's see. Thaw read you a cablegram. for which you say you paid, asking Stanford White to cable Wads- worth to pay no attention to your mOther?" Yes. he read it, but don't know that he sent it."
 Mrs. Thaw admitted to Mir. Jerome that she wrote to White from Boulogne while she was travelling with Thaw.
