THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY SO, IVOl. SHEDS LIGHT OH '5 LIFE (Continued from First TaRf.l ters. She was nearly half an hour at the task. As the examination of the letters was concluded, Mr. Delmas turned to the witness. "How long have you known May MacKenzle?" "Since 1901." "How long has Mr. Thaw known her?" "Since 1904." AVhitc Said lie Would Get Her Back. "Did you In May, 1906, relate to Mr. Thaw a conversation you had with May MacKenzle 'With reference to what she said to you regarding Stanford White?" "May MacKerizIe told me Stanford White had been to see her. and that she had told him that Harry and I were getting along finely together. She said she thought it was so nice the way we loved each other. She said Stanford White had remarked: "Phoo, it won't last. I will get her back.' " "Did Mr. Thaw say anything when you told him that?" "He said he had already heard it from Miss Mackenzie." "What was his condition when you told Mm?" "The way he always was when talking of White very excited and nervous." "You had a second operation in 1906, did jou not?" "Yes." "Who made the arrangements for it and paid the cost?" "Harry K. Thaw." 'How much was the bill?" "In all about $3000. The operation it self was $10"0.'" The nature of the operation was not gone into. "Did Mr. Thaw have any conversation with the attendmg physician at that time regarding your previous relations with Stanford White?" "No. not in my presence." "Did Mr. Thaw at the time of your mnrriage talk very much about the In cident In your life connected with Stan ford White?" "Yes. He always talked about it. He would waken me often at night, sobbing. And then he would constantly ask me questions about the details of this terri ble thing." "Did you visit May Mackenzie at her apartments in 1904?" "Yes." White Tried to Hug Her. "While you were there did Stanford White come In? Did you tell Mr. Thaw?" "Yes, Stanford White spoke to me sev eral times, and I .always answered yes or no. He came 'over and started to straighten a bow on my hair. My hair was short, having been cut off at the time of my operation. Then Stanford White tried to put his arms around me and wanted me to sit beside him on the bed. I told him to leave me alone." Mrs. Thaw said that Harry Thaw al ways attributed her illness, the necessity for the second operation, etc., to Stanford White. Mrs. Thaw also' testified that Thaw had told her he was going to take tip Stanford White's affairs with Anthony Conistock. "I told him it would do no good, that White had many influential friends and that he could stop It. I told him that lots of people would not believe the things about White on account of his person ality." "Did you and Mr. Thaw" discuss the fAtes of other young women at the hands of Stanford White, and did you tell him certain names?" Mr. Jerome objected. Mr. Delmas reframed the question and Mrs. Thaw said she and her husband had discussed a number of young women. "Are they the same as mentioned in the codicil to Mr. Thaw's will?" "Yes." Fate or .the Pie Girl. "Did you and Mr. Thaw discuss the fate of the 'pie girl'?" "Yes. I was in Paris in 1903. He asked me what other girls I knew of who had suffered at the hands of Stanford White. ' I told him I had heard of the pie girl. A girl at the theater told me about It, and that night, when Stanford White came to my dressing-room, 1 asked him about it. He asked me where I had haarJ thn Btnrv T tnA Vilwi a vlrl to!d me. and he told me all about it then. Then there was a stag dinner, he said, and this girl was put in a big pie with a lot of birds. She was very young about 15 years, I think he said. He also told me that the girl had a beautiful figure and wore only a gauze dress. He helped put her in the pie and fixed it. When the girl jumped out of the pie, the birds flew all about the room." At a dinner party at the St. Regis, in 191V). when Mr. and Mrs. Thaw and an other member were present, the guest told Mr. Thaw the story of the pie girl. "He said," Mrs. Thaw continued, "that Mr. White and another man had trouble about it trouble to keep it out of the papers. He Bald they went on their knees to the editor of the paper, and finally had it suppressed." "What newspaper was it?" "The American." "What did Mr. Thaw say?" "He said he would investigate the story and see what truth there was in It." " hen did he next talk about the etory?" "The next time was in Pittsburg, when we were married. He told me that the girl was dead. He had investigated the etory and that it was true; that after wards the girl married, but her husband heard the story of her connection with Mr. White, and that he cast her off, and she died In great poverty and disgrace." White Should Be in Penitentiary. "Did you and Mr. Thaw often speak of these girls?" "Yes. I could not tell you every place and every time we discussed It. He told me something ought to be done about the i girls. I told him I could not do any thing. He said I could help him. I tried to get his mind on other things, and then he would say I was trying to get out of it. He said Stanford White ought to be In the penitentiary; that he got worse and worse all the time, and something had to be done. Mr. Delmas then had a few more . papers for the witness to identify, one of the papers identified was a lftter from Thaw to Anthony Corn stock. In It Thaw described the studio In the Madison Square Garden as being filled with obscene pictures, and should be raided. He also described the studio at 22 West Twenty-fourth street, which he said was "consecrated to debauchery, and was used by a gang of rich criminals." . In this "building, the letter said, were the famous red velvet swing and the mirrored bed rooms. He inclosed a sketch of the arrangements of the room. Scenes of White's Orgies. "Workmen upon the outside of the building," says the letter, "have fre ' nuently heard the screams of young girls from this building." The letter continued that the place . was run by a gang of rich criminals, but was frequently visited by young men who did not know Its character. The letter called attention to still another house, saying: "You may also abolish another place at 12a East Twenty-second street a house used secretly by three or four of the same scoundrels. Young girls are taken there to perform a felony. In one of the rooms is a French paint- n; of a nude woman, and suggestive literature." "One more question and I am through," remarked Mr. Del mas. "Pardon me for asking, Mrs. Thaw Pld Mr. Thaw tell you any of Stanford White's practices upon the young wom en were unnatural? "Ye.-." t His Practices Unspeakable. "Can you describe them?" Mrs. Thaw Hushed. "Oh, no; they are unspeakable." Now you may take the witness," said Mr. Delmas to the District At torney. Mr. Jerome arose. "I will ask permission to reserve my cross-examination of this witness un til I can determine whether a cross examination is needful upon the issues raised in this case. 'We will assent to that," said Mr. Delmas, and Mrs. Thaw left the stand. Call Mrs. J. J. Caine, commanded Mr. Delmas. Mrs. Caine is a petite young woman. with an abundance of brown hair, worn pompadour. She was smartly attired in a dark brown suit and wore a toque of brown fur. Mrs. Caine had known Mrs. Evelyn Thaw and her mother for six years and Thaw for three years. "Were you in rtew iorK in ivus ana present wnen mere occurreu a conver sation between Mr. Thaw and Mrs. Hol man, in which Mr. Thaw made a pro posal oi mamase. "I was." "State what that conversation was." "I was in the room when -Mr. Thaw called. He told Mrs. Holman that he wanted to marry Florence." What happened after Mr. Thaw made this proposal?" I left the room. 'Did you 'accompany Mr. and Mrs. Thaw to a theater late in 1903 or early in 1904?" asked Mr. Delmas. 'Yes." Did Stanford White come in?" 'Yes, he came in and occupied a box opposite ours." "What effect did this have upon Mr. Thaw?" Turned White, Eyes Popped Out. "He looked at the box, his face turned white, and his eyes popped In a wild stare." "How long did he look that way?" "Until Miss Nesblt told him that If he did not stop she would take him from the theater." "What happened next?" "Mr. White got up and went out, and we remained." "You may have the witness, Mr. Jerome," said Mr. Delmas. On cross-examination Mr. Jerome asked Mrs. Caine several questions re garding the visit to the theater with Mr. Thaw, and asked. "When next did you see Mr. Thaw?" 'In Mrs. Nesbit's apartments." "Were you in the room?" Overheard the Proposal. "No, I was in the bathroom adjoin ing, but the door was ajar, and I could see and hear plainly. When Mr. Thaw telephoned up to the room, Mrs. Nes bit asked me to go into the bathroom so I could hear what was said." "Why did she make this request that you act as an eavesdropper?" Mr. Delmas was on his feet, exclaim ing: "I object, and desire to note an ex ception on the ground of misconduct of the District Attorney. "Well," said Mr. Jerome, "it is tin usual."' "i protest and note another exception on the same ground," broke In Mr. Delmas. "Well, all right, I'll go. at it another way. Mrs. Caine. did you not consider It an unusual performance? "I did not consider It at all." "All that happened some time before Mrs. Nesblt told you that Thaw was In terested in Florence, and when he tele phoned up, ail she said was to ask you to go into the bathroom and listen? ' "Yes." "Well, what do you remember of the conversation? ' "He told Mrs. Nesblt about his desire to send Florence to Europe, and said If she would marry him. he would settle enough on Mrs. Nesbit and Mr. Holman to keep them forever. Mrs. Nesblt said she would try and fix it so Florence would accept him." "How long were you in the bathroom?" "Only a few minutes. Mr. Thaw did not stay long." "When you came out, what did Mrs. Nesbit say to you?" "She said: 'I know, you see,(his inten tions are honorable.' " "What next did Mrs. Nesbit say?" "She said she . wanted me to help her to induce Florence to take Mr. Thaw as a husband." Mother Not With Daughter. Mr. Jerome pursued his questioning at great length. He endeavored to bring out the fact from the witness that upon the second trip Harry Thaw and Evelyn Nes. bit made to Europe, Evelyn's mother did not accompany them, Mr. Delmas objected to this line of cross-examination, but Justice Fitzgerald upheld the District Attorney, who declared he was not indirectly attacking the credi bility of Mrs. Thaw. Mr. Delmas noted many exceptions, de claring the movements of young Mrs. Thaw's mother could not constitute evi dence against the defendant. "Did you see Mrs. Thaw's mother in this country while her daughter was in Europe in 1904?" asked Mr. Jerome. "Yes. once in New York." "When did you next see Miss Nesblt or Thaw?" "After they returned from Europe." "During the time did you have conver sations with Mr. Thaw?" "Yes." Mr. Delmas objected to her telling of these conversations and was upheld. "During the two months you and Miss Nesblt were- so much together did you know where Mr. Thaw lived?" asked Mr. Jerome. - "No." "You had read in the papers about the Hotel Cumberland?" Mr. Delmas objected. Episode at the Cumberland. Mr. Jerome explained to the court that he had a right to ask the questions in an attempt to show, if possible, that the witness had not told all she knew, or that she was mistaken. After a wordy dispute between the law yers, Mr. Delmas withdrew his objection, and Mrs. Caine said she had read of the Cumberland. "When this Cumberland episode o curred, where were you?" "I went to live with Florence in Forty first street." N . "Did sha ask you to go?"' "No; she came to the store where 1 Was working and I told her I was about to take an apartment and asked her to come and live with me. We looked up adver tisements In thepapers, and the Ninety first street apartment, and started there that night. It was a furnished apart ment." "Did Thaw go with you?" "No." "Whose name did you give in taking the apartment?" "My own name." "What name did Miss Nesbit give?" "She dJd not give any. It was not necessary." At this point a recess until 2 o'clock was ordered. Rational Except When Saw White. "At all the dinners and theater par ties, were the acts of the defendant ra tional?" "Except when he saw Mr. White." "He evinced no undue excitement ex cept when he saw White?" "No." "As to the use of Intoxicants, did you at any time see him drink ,to excess? No." You knew there was a feeling of en mity between Thaw and White? 'Yes." "How did you know It?" "From Mr. Thaw's appearapce when he saw Mr. White. Mis appearance was that of a man aroused at the presence of an enemy." Was the operation for appendicitis performed on Miss Nesblt performed in 1903?" "Yes." Mr. Delmas objected to this. He said. the only evidence that the operation was for appendicitis was the statement by 'the learned District Attorney, ' to which he' took exception. Did Evelyn tell you the operation was for appendicitis?" asked Jerome. "Yes." The matter was allowed to stand. Mr. Jerome said he was through, and Mr. Delmas took up the re-dlrect exam ination. The witness said Thaw always acted rationally except in the presence of White. Thaw's attentions to Miss Nes bit were always respectful. Iietter From Mrs. Nesbit. Mrs. Caine was then excused, and Eve lyn Nesblt Thaw was recalled to Identify more papers. Mrs. Thaw identified a let- ter which, she said, had been written to Thaw by her mother. "Did you ever see it in the possession of Mr. Thaw prior to June 26 last?" Mr. Jerome objected and Justice Fitz gerald read the letter. Mr. Delmas said the letter, which was written by Mrs. Nesblt subsequently to Thaw's proposal for the hand of her daughter, tended to show a condition impressed upon the de fendant's mind. "The letter shows that Thaw paid hon orable court to this girl and with her mother's consent." said Mr. Delmas. "As I understand it." said Mr. Jerome, "this man came to Mrs. Nesblt and made a definite cash proposition." "If the learned District Attorney desires to take that commercial view of It, he may do so." Justice Fitzgerald overruled the objec tion to the letter and it was read. The letter was dated at the New Jersey school which Evelyn Thaw attended in 1902. It read: "Dear Mr. Thaw: Evelyn has suffered terribly, but is out of danger. As soon as the physicians can safely do so. she will be moved to a hospital. She was very grateful for your message. I re ceived your kind letter. Thank you very much. I hope you are well and trust to see you very soon. "E. M. NESBTT." "Did you and Mr. Thaw see May Mac kenzie after you had gone to Pittsburg?" asked Mr. Delmas. "Yes. Mr. Thaw said he was afraid Stanford White was going to do some thing to Miss Mackenzie. I told him she was able to take care Of herself, but he seemed much worried." Jerome Not Pinned Down. "You may now take the witness, said Mr. Delmas to Mr. Jerome. The District Attorney again asked per mission to reserve his cross-examination until some future time. Mr. Delmas in sisted that the examination go on at once. There ensued a long discussion between Mr. Delmas and Mr. Jerome as to the de ferring of the cross-examination of Mrs. Thaw, the District Attorney saying that "if a legitimate case of Insanity is made out, I will be the first to admit It. I do not want to start this cross-examination until I am sure it will be necessary." Mr. Jerome further said that it would be necessary to recall Drs. Deemar and Blngaman for cross-examination. In the course of the discussion. Mr. Delmas turned to Mr. Jerome and asked: "Did I understand you to say that it you are honestly convinced Mr. Thaw was Insane June 25. you would abandon this prosecution?" "I agreed to nothing," replied Mr. Jerome. Mr. Delmas asked that Mr. Jerome's remarks be read from the record and the stenographer started to do so. but after reading a few words he was cut short by an interruption by Mr. Delmas. "I stand on that." said Mr. Jerome. Mr. Jerome expressed a willingness to take up the cross-examination Thursday morning, the defense to proceed with its other witnesses in the meantime. Mr. Delmas would not consent and Mr. Jerome yielded, beginning the cross-examination of Mrs. Thaw. Paid by Trust Company. Mr. Jerome drew forth a large number of papers from a leather pouch. He se lected one and handed it to Mrs. Thaw. "Is that your handwriting?" "It looks like mine; I can't say." "Weren't you In March. 1902, drawing $25 a week from the Mercantile Trust Com pany, when you were not playing, and is not this letter addressed by you to the Trust Company directing what shall be done with the money?" Mr. Delmas objected. He declared that the letter would speak for itself. Mr. Jerome withdrew it and asked Mrs. Thaw to identify the signature on three slips of paper. "It looks like mine; I can't say posi tively." "Are they not receipts for the J25 a week you drew from the Mercantile Trust Com pany?" Mr. Delmas again objected and Mr. Jerome changed the question. I EVELYN NESBIT'S MOTHER WHO IS AIDING THE j " PROSECUTION j ' j ' O&t'P W& W"' ih i!4 f "Is it not a fact that you, in March. 1902, were drawing $25 a week from the Mercantile Trust Company?" "I can't say." "Was it not about that time?" "I can't say positively." Mr. Jerome banded Mrs. Thaw a large number of papers, checks, etc., and asked her to select the ones she knew she had signed. She did so. The cross-examination then continued: What day was it you returned .from Eu rope In 1903? I don't remember the exact date. Was it on Sunday? I don't know. When you left the steamer did you go to a hotel ? Yes. And register? Yes. Would It assist your memory If I showed you the hotel register? There was no audible answer. When you refused Mr. Thaw in Parts in 1003, did you tell your mother? Only Reason for Refusing Thaw. Ye. Did you love him enough to have married him. if it had not been for the event in your life which you hae related here? Yes. There was no other reason for your re fusal ? No. It was out of your great love for him that you refused ? It was. You were not thinking of marrying any body else? No. You rejected him for no other reason than what you have told us about and you gave him no other?. No. Y'hat part of the year was this? , Tn the Spring. Your early life, you say, was spent in Pennsylvania? ' Yes. After your father's death you lived In much poverty? Yes. Tre surroundings of your home life at that time were pure and good? Yes. Still Simple and Innocent. Ycu grew up to be 15 or 16 years old so simple that, after all the trials you after ward went through, you remembered the Incident of the cat and the conductor try lng to put It off the tram? Yes. And also you remembered that, after you went on the stage and went to dinner, you had chocolate eclairs? Yes. All these pure and simple BUrroundlngs were due to your mother? Yes. She was careful of you when you were In Philadelphia? Yes. You posed only for women artists? There were three men. I now show you what purports to be register of the Hotel Savoy under the date of October 24. 1903. Is that your signature Evelyn Nesblt and maid, Paris? Yes. Does that refresh your mind? Does that remind you that you arrived Saturday, Oc tober 24, 1903? Yes, sir. At what hour of the day did you arrive? I don't remember the exact time. Mr. Jerome here read extensively from Mrs. Thaw's direct testimony, es peclally with reference to the visits she made with Stanford White to i photographer. "You fixed the date of your ravish me;it by reference to this visit to the photographer, did you not?' Photographed on Polar Bear. Mr. Delmas objected. He said the question related to an event which had nothing to do with the story she told her husband. He said the cross examination must be confined to the story as she had told it to Thaw, not as to historic events. Mr. Jerome took another tack and continued: .You were photographed on a polar bear, were you not? Yes. Did you poRe in a kimono with your chin on the head of the polar bear? Yes. How many poses were there? I don't remember. They were all modest, decorous poses, which no one could take exception to? , Yes. You stated constantly on the stand that all of the things you narrated here were Just what you told Thaw all, all about this terrible occurrence? Yes. And those things you told Mr. Thaw at the time as having occurred at the hand of Stanford White were true? Mr. Delmas sprang to. Tils feet with an objection. Your honor, he said, "whether these statements were true or false Is entirely immaterial. We have not been allowed to show the truth of them. The whole question -is whetner or not she made the state ments to Mr. Tbaw as she says sna did." "The truth or falsity of her state ments goes to her credibility as a wit ness," said Justice Fitzgerald. "She may answer." "Were those statements true. re peated Mr. Jerome. "They were," was the firm reply. "When did you first learn that you had been made a' co-respondent in the I Lederer divorce suit?" I Mr. Delmas quickly objected. "There- is no evidence here, he aeeiarea witn feeling, "that there ever was a divorce case." "Send for the record." said Mr. Jerome. "It is in my safe." he explained to the court, "and It is like playing a game of solitaire to solve the combination of that old lock. Maybe we had better adjourn." Meantime Airs. Thaw called Mr. Delmas over and whispered to him. "I withdraw my objection," he said, after returning to his place. The lawyer apparently was acting under advice from the witness. Mr. Jerome repeated the questton. "I first read of it in the newspapers." said Mrs. Thaw, in a voice that was de cidedly cheerful. Mr. Jerome then asked: When ? I don't remember Just when some time in 1004. Sure It was not 1B03? I am sure it was in 1004. Were you In Boulogne at that time? I don't - remember. You heard of it after Mr. Thaw hod pro posed for your hand ? Yes. Did you consult a lawyer? Mr. Delmas objected, declaring this had nothing to do with either the witness' story to Thaw or her credibility. "It will tend to fix dates," suggested Mr. Jerome in a tone which indicated that it was a matter of no concern. "It has been reported that the District Attorney would attempt to show that Mrs. Thaw consulted wlty Abe Hummel about the case," was the reply. "The objection is sustained." ruled Jus tice Fitzgerald, and Mr. Jerome pro ceeded: Wrote to White From France. When you were In Boulogne and after you had heard you had been named as a co-respondent, did you write to any one in America? - "Yes. I think I wrote to Stanford White," Mrs. Thaw replied, readily. And this was after Thaw had proposed? Yes. Did you cable to Stanford White from Boulogne? I don't remember. Justice Fitzgerald ordered an adjourn ment at 4:25 until tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock, at which time the District Attorney will continue the cross-examina tion of Mrs. Thaw.

"The people here do not drink enough water to keep healthy," ex claimed a well-known authority. "The numerous cases of stomach trouble, kidney and bladder diseases and rheu matism are mainly due to the fact that the drinking of water, nature's great est medicine, has been neglected. "Stop loading your system with pa tent medicines and cure-alls; but get on the water wagon. If you are really sick, why, of course, take the proper medicines plain common vegetable treatment, which will not shatter the nerves or ruin the stomach." . When requested for such a. prescrip tion for the cure- of rheumatism and kidney trouble the answer was: "You must make the kidneys do their work: they are the filters of the blood. They must be made to strain out of the blood the waste matter and acids that cause rheumatism; the urine must be neutralized so it will no longer be a source of irritation to the bladder, and, most of all, you must keep these acids from forming in the stomach. This is the cause of stomach troubles and poor digestion. For these conditions I would suggest the follow ing prescription, which is composed of only vegetable ingredients, which can be obtained from any good prescrip tion pharmacy. Any one can mix them by shaking well In a bottle. Fluid Ex tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com pound Kargon, .one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilia, three ounces.
