Whites Slayer.

White Plains, N. Y, July 2S.--

court and heard woman's testimony
that made his pallid face flush. He
saw pearl-handled dog whip exhib-
tied and he heard the witness swear
that she had seen him WELD 1t on
the bare flesh of young girls. The
prisoners wife, Evelyn Thaw, heard
most of the testimony, which was Of
such a nature that Justice Mills pre-
ceded its presentation with the warn
ing that mo woman should stay In
the court room unless she is willing
to hear everything" Two girls left
the room.
The witness was Miss Susan Mer.
rill, buxom woman of about 35
years, and she opened new chapter
in the life of Stanford Whites slayer.
She told of alleged acts of his be-
tween 1902 and 1905, when he was a
young bachelor about New York.
Her testimony was in marked con.
trast TO that of two alienists, who
went on the stand and declared that
In their opinion Thaw was sane.
Summarized, her testimony was that
during the three years named she
kept in succession two New York
lodging houses where Thaw rented
rooms under assumed names and to
which he brought at various times
more than 200 girls. After Thaw's
Imprisonment she said she paid these
women at least $4,000 as the price
of their silence and to keep them
from bothering Thaw's wife or his
mother" One Of them, who said she
passed as Thaw's wife, received
$1,000. The money came from Thaw.
