NEW YORK, Jan. 9.--District At
torney Jerome has met Evelyn
Thaw again-their first meeting
since the girl trembled pitifully be-
fore the scorn of his piercing eyes
as she sat during those long hours
in the witness chair and told a
pathetic story, true or false, of her
ruined life and of the love she still
bore to the gray-faced prisoner at
the bar.
This last meeting was not in The

corridors of justice, not even on
the street.

She turned. The blood rushed to

Tuburn police two weeks ago and

Caroline Edna observation-disclosures

1t would appear SO, since the
much-married Caroline, disguised
as a man and making her way over
the country in boxcars to escape
her seXtette of husbands, was
traced as far as Denver and her
course pointed due northwest.
Caroline has been married six
times in five years without putting
herself to any trouble to get di-
vorces, it is claimed, and accurate
information is to the effect that
the female tramp Is no less a per-
sonage than the much-wanted Caro-
line, for whom wronged husbands
are searching in order that they
may secure the return of at least a
portion of the money that they so
trustingly confided to her keeping.
The woman disappeared from the
home of her husband, John Carlson,
at Alberta, Canada, and John i'm
mediately went in pursuit. The
trail led slowly to Des Moines,
Iowa, where he met John Edward
Perry. OF Newton, Iowa, who de-
clared that the woman was also
