American embassy there from bothering her mother.
 Hadn't your mother complained to the embassy about your conduct and Thaw's s and about your desertion of herg'
 "No," snapped the witness in reply, "I never heard of anything like that until you asked me the question at the last trial" Then after pause she added, Nobody ever heard of it.''
 Strike that out" ordered the court.
 Mrs. Thaw said she did not want Harry to send the cablegram.
 ''Why?'' asked MT. Jerome.
 Because I thought it was crazy"
 Luncheon recess was ordered.
 A Little Excitement.
 A deputy sheriff, who said he had papers to serve on Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, created some excitement in the court house corridor during the recesss hour. It turned out however, that the papers had to do with the suit brought against Mrs. William Thaw by Dr. Allan MacLane Hamilton, the alienist for services rem dered immediately after Thaw's arrest. It is said Dr. Hamilton claimed a fee of 5000, of which 5000 has been paid. It was agreed that service should be made upon the elder Mrs. Thaw tomorrow morning in presence of counsel.
 At the beginning of the afternoon ses- sion MT. Jerome cross-questioned the wit ness as to the events of the night of the tragedy. Mrs. Thaw said champagne was served during the dinner at Martins. Thaws manner at the dinner and the atre was perfectly quiet.
 Did you not testify last year that you told MT. Hummel that Thaw hated Stan ford White because of the things which White said about him?" asked Mr. Je- rome.
 Yes"
 And did you ever hear Thaw say that Stanford White had kept him out of cer- tain cubs?"
 q heard some talk of 1t, yes"
 And didn't you tell Hummel that Thaw tentiary?"
 T told Hummel MT. Thaw said where Stanford White belonged "
 That's all."
 Redirect Testimony.
 The long ross-examination was ended and Mr. Littleten began the redirect questioning.
 'The redirect questioning was very brief and at its conclusion Mrs. Thaw started to leave the witness stand with an audible sight of relief, but MT. Jerome called her back.
 When you told Thaw the story you say you told him in Paris, was his manner rational or irrational?' asked the prosecutor.
 II don't know, I was so excited myself"
 Didn't you say last year that his actions were not those of an insane man but rather of a man outraged over d story of wrong to some one he loved?"
 1T did"
 That's all"
 Mrs. Thaw then was finally excused and Frederick w. Longfellow, formerly attorney for Harry Thaw, was called to the stand to identify certain letters he received from Thaw late in 1903 and which were introduced in evidence last year as tending to show the insanity of the defendant just after he had heard Svelyn Nesbits story.
 Privilege Waived.
 Justice Bowling ruled that 1t would be necessary for the defendant to waive the professional privileges between counsel and client before the letters could be of- tered in evidence. He added the statu- tory question to Thaw and the latter re- piled:
 MT. Jerome objected to the letters on the ground that the witness knew nothing as to the conditions under which they were written. Justice Bowling overruled the objection. MT. Littleton then read the let ters to the jury.
 The letters were offered as corrobora- tive of the testimony of Mrs. Thaw as to the story she told Thaw in Paris, as well as to show the effect on Thaw's s mind. The first one read spoke of Stand ford White as the "blackguard" and re- ferred to Evelyn's mother as foolish and imprudent."
 Thaw asserted that White had given the girl drugged champagne in the Twenty fourth street house, which he declared ''is maintained by Stanford White, Jimmy Breese and others"
 Thaw spoke of the girls great beauty, and said:
 Her character is as fine as her appear ance, but she cannot overcome what hap pened to her. She is coming over on the steamer with Miss Marbury, who knows all about Stanford White and what he has done to Evelyn Florence Nesbit. Give her all the money she needs"
 Some of the letters were addressed to Evelyn Nesbit and sent to Amy Long, fellow to be delivered to her. In one of them Thaw spoke of his respect for the n~~<~~. AI~n,
