Justice Bowling Refused to Exclude the
Public from the Thaw Trial To-day
and Evelyn Went on the
Stand

New York, Jan. 20.--Eyelyn Nesbit
Thaw held the center Of the stage to-day
at The Thaw trial and the pitiful story
she rehearsed is again public property,
When the court convened, Jerome re-
newed his motion that the public be ex-
eluded while young Mrs. Thaw was on
the stand. lie declared that the exclu-
sion OF the women had furnished the
precedent. LittIeton replied that while
be was anxious to spare EYelyn any hu-
initiation, the matter was one for the
court to decide, without suggestions from
either party.
In ruling against jerome Justice Dow
ling declared that the constitution guar
anteed the defendant q speedy and pub
lie trial and this, he did not believe,
intended trial ein camera tviz., in
priyatel. The publication OF the details
was matter for the morals OF news
paper editors and not for the court or
counsel to pass upon.
In taking up the examination Of Eve
lyn, Littleton questioned her relative to
the famous interview in Paris hotel in
1908, IN which she confessed 70 Thaw
that She could not marry him because
Of alleged wrong at the hands Of Stan.

admission OF the conversation between
Thaw and his wife at that time was
overruled BY Justice Bowling.
Then followed the story, substantially
the same as that told at the first trial.
all Of which Evelyn said she related to
Thaw that night IN Paris. No names
were mentioned when the witness said
that she was first introduced TO White
by party of girl friends Whites
quarters in the Tower were described
wildly.
Then came the story Of what occurred
III the room Of the mirrors when White
mred the girl there.
Later, when White endeayored to
soothe the girl BY telling her that ii
was Al a part Of life. she asked If GER
tain people, whom she knew did 80.
"He laughed" said the witness, ''for
a long time and told me, why, Of course,
and if ! didn't believe him to ask any
Of them and they would tell me he was
telling the truth
During the recital the voice Of the wit
ness broke many times and on one or
two occasions tears rolled down her
cheeks. Thaw sat with handkerchief
to his eyes, his frame apparently con-
vulsed with sobs Describing Thaw's
manner as she told him OF her expert

Smile up Their Sleeve, Keep
Ing Faces Straight
BRAZIL POLICE SCARE
Was to she Effect That an Attempt
Was Going to Be Made to Blow
Up the American
Fleet.

Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 20-The officers
Of the American fleet are keeping com
mendably straight faces over the an
nouncement by the Brazilian police that
only the latter's vigilance is protecting
the feet from anarchistic violence. 1t
is the polite thing to express appreeia
tion of the authorities care for their
welfare and the Americans are accept
ing, with thanks, the police chiefs as
surance that they ''can rest easy" as
all the conspirators have been driven
into the interior.
Nobody on the feet seems much con.
cerned over the rumors. The police say
that they are searching for Jean Fedher
Of Petropolis, the alleged originator Of
the polt to blow up the war ships, but
will give out no details.
The chief Of police made this state
ment
Some time before the arrival Of the
American fleet at Rio Janeiro the Bra
lillian government received from Wash
ington and Paris advices that anarchists
Of different nationalities intended to
damage one or several of the ships Of
the American fleet The names and adj
dresses of the conspirators were indi-l
Gated by information which the police
here had received previously from France
and Germany. The police Of this district
are working with the police Of Sac Paulo
and Minas Geraes and | am sure every
precaution win be exercised and the most
rigorous vigilance observed both on land
and at sea to prevent any injury being
DONE"
As yet the people of Brazil are ignor-
ant Of the details of the plot to do in
jury to the visitors, although there has
been some slight inkling Of the matter.
The impression which the exposure Of
this plot viii create here will be pro-
found one, because it IS the first anarch-
istic conspiracy that has ever been
known in Brazil.
The police Of Sac Paulo have sent
word that they are on the track Of the
malefactors, who, they declare, will not
be able to come to Rio Janeiro
special dispatch from Petropolis last
night gave an interview with officer
Carlos Hamman, who, it was declared,
had been sent to Sac Paulo to arrest
Jean Fedhar, the alleged anarchist. Ham
man is quoted as saying that the only
information he has concerning con-
spiracy was learned from the newspa
pers. He admitted, however, that he
had been in Sac panle and Santos during
the past few days but declared his bust
ness had been entirely personal at those
places, The dispatch adds that fhe POI
lice Of Petropolis upon orders from Rio
Janeiro. were observing the utmost vigi
lance and are keeping suspicious persons
under constant siIrveiilanee.

to take to the gaolD at Rutland such
