 FROM TESTIFYING.

White Plains, June u-At the
 fourth days hearing as to the pres ent mental condition of Harry R.
 Thaw before Supreme Court Justice Keogh, Mrs. Susan Merrill testified to
 Thaw whipping young girls in rooms 1 he rented from her. She was called as a witness by William T. Jerome, representing the Attorney General When he sent for her to come into the : court room she was in the Justices private room and she became hyster-s 1 ical. MT. Jerome went into the room and talked with her and she was able 1 to testify.
 Mrs. Merrill swore that she first met Thaw in 1901 at a house in West Forty sixth street. Manhattan. where
 he was known as "Mr. Read" and as
 Prof. Read" When she moved to
 house in West Fiftyfourth street
 Thaw accompanied, her there He had
 two rooms and she frequently heard screams in them. On one occasion, she
 testified, she heard screams there and whip. and a young girl whom he found there told her that he was try ing to murder her. Mrs. Merrill said l that several times she caught Thaw whipping girls. He told her. she said,
 that he had to beat them "to teach
 them anything about the stage" She
 saw at least twenty-five girls in dis
 tress, she said.
 The witness told of the payment of thousands of dollars to more than 200 Thaw for killing Stanford White She
 said that Attorney Partridge of coun- sel for Thaws had given her $7.000 to
 be paid to one girl for her silence.
 Another girl had received 5000 to keep quiet about being nogged.
 MT shearn in his cross examination
 asked her for the name of a mil | 1ionaire" whom she had mentioned in a letter, to Thaw at Matteawan as
 aiding in conspiracy to keep Thaw
 declined to give the mans name, but when Justice Keogh told her to give
 the name he was known by. she said. "Clay-known as Col. Clay.' 1 rDid you know Stanford Winter"
 MT. shearn asked.
 Did he have entertainments and
 supper, parties at your house?'' Yes I see you wish to, disgrace me all you can," the witness said.

 She repeated testimony she had given
 previously as to .Thaw's actions at various times before and after she had told him her story of her treat

 'At the Grand Hotel in New York
 in iS04" said Mrs. Thaw. "Thaw pro- posed one day that we commit sui- eide. He thought it was the best 1 thing.'
 DO you recall the circumstances of the shooting of White and Is your recollection as good now as it was at l that time?' Mr.. Jerome asked. Mrs. Thaw sighed and answered.: T | o1a0l1 al aav l that night"
 When Mrs.~ Thaw took the stand she pretended that she was afraid to l pass close to Her husband and instead
 of going up the centre aisle of the court room she walked to the rear of the room and then approached the stand by one of the side aisles fur ther from the chair upon which her l husband was sitting. She did not glance in the direction of Thaw while she was on the stand. but he often looked toward her while she was tes- | tifying.

YOUNGSTER TURNS
 f ON THE OIL

The driver of big yellow tank wagon went into a thirst .parlor yes- terday afternoon at Berkshire avenue and Pembroke street and during his absence a little tow headed kid under four years of age inspected the fau- cets at the rear of the wagon. AL though the driver had taken the ham, dle of the faucets with him the youngster found that he could turn one of the nuts with his tiny fingers and soon there was a stream of oil running out of the wagon into a near- by, sewer The driver on coming out of the saloon grabbed the frightened youngster who was trying to shut of the faucet. The driver then teIe- 'phoned to the second precinct police station for an officer to arrest the scared kid Motorcycle Policeman Daley arrived in a few minutes. The officer gave the driver a disgusted look and asked him if he wanted the child locked up. The driver said that he did or else he wanted pay for the spilled oil. In few minutes the frightened mother of the boy put in an appearance and she offered the dr1- yer $1O0 for the spilled oil which he accepted. Later he wanted the po- liceman to wait until he got gaug- CT to ascertain how much oil had been spilled. but he changed his mind when the COD hinted to him that he thought he was getting off pretty good con- sidering his own neglect in leaving the wagon unprotected as long as he did
