12 THE MORXIXG OREGON! Ay. FRO AT, FEBRUARY 22, 1907. TERRIBLE ORDEAL OF EVELYN THAW (Continued From First PaKe.) jury without waiting to be formally called. His hair wa mussed and his manner wa eager and nervous. He carried a larfre pad of paper and pre pared to make notes of his wife's testi mony. When Mrs. Thaw was called to the stand she glanced at her husband and smiled. Then she turned to Justice Fitzgerald and made a little bow to him. hut the Justice did not notice her. Mr. Jerome consulted his notes at some length before beginning to question the witness, and finally called her attention to her closing testimony of yesterday. "Old you continue to believe all women were unchaste, as Stanford White told you, until you talked with Thaw in Paris in !!? asked Mr. Jerome. "Yes, sir " replied Mrs. Thaw meekly. "Do you know a place called the "Dead Rat'?" "Yes " "Where is the "Dead Rat'?" "Somewhere In Paris." "Have you ever been there?" Yes." "What sort of place la It?" "A cafe." "la it a reputable place?" "I don't know?" "Did It seem so to you?" "I don't know; people were sitting about eating." "Was somebody dancing?" "I think &o." "Was It 3 o'clock In the morning?" "Possibly.'.' "Iid you see a Cakewalk?" "Xo." "Sure there was no Cakewalk?" "There may have been. I don't remem ber. I remember the Russian dance." "Was it. before or after Thaw pro posed, that you went to the "Dead Rat?" Saw Demi-Momie at Dead Rat. "After." "How many times were you at the 'Dead P-at'?" "I think only once." "Can't you fix even the year of your vlnif" "I think It was 1303." "With whom did you go?" "With Mr. Thaw and Mr. Shuhert. a theatrical menager, and another man ivh.ise nnrii:v T d-n't 1 emeniber." "I will wlilsptr a name, to you and r. si: if the mnn '-s . tir.?." Mr. Jerome whispered and Mrs. Thaw shook her head. "Was there a lady or ladies in the party?" "I think there were with Mr. Shu- L'lTt." "Did you see many ladies of the demi monde there?" Mr. Delmas was on his feet with an ob jection. "I am usinc the witness' own ex pression." said Mr. Jerome. "I never said' that," said Mrs. Thaw. "Didn't you use the expression In a let ter?" Mr. Delmas objected and was sustained. "Don't yon kno'v what I m;:in?" askod Mr. Jerome, "when I say did you see many of the bunch from the ten derloin there?" "I tnink so." "Do you know' Miss Winchester?" "Slightly." "Did you see her do a ctkewalk at the -Dead Rat' that night?" "I don't remember." Wrote Joint Letters With Thaw. "in whose handwriting Is this let ter?" "Mr. Thaw's, I think." "Have you any doubt of it?" "I don't think I have." Mr. Jerome offered the Wtor in evi dence. Mr. Delmas objected on the ground that It was mutilated. "Do you know of your knowledge when this was written?" "I have not the slightest idea." "Will you note the paging of that let ter?" "Yes." "Did you and Mr. Thaw, while in Paris, write joint letters to friends, you writ ing part and he the rest?" "I cannot say positively; very likely we did." "Had you changed your opinion in re gard to the general chastity of women?" T had." "How soon after your talk with Thaw did you change your mind?" "Very soon." "At the time you left Paris In June, 1903, had you changed your mind?" "Y'es." The witness could not remember how long it was after Thaw's proposal of mar riage that she left Paris. "After the time you left Paris had you any appreciation that meretricious rela tions between men and women were im moral and wrong?" "Xot until after my talk with Mr. Thaw." "Before that you didn't believe it wrong ?" "Oh. yes." "Very wrong?" "Not particularly. I knew people said It was wrong." "Did you think it very indelicate and vulgar?" "That Is all." "That It was only bad taste?" "Yes." "But you didn't think it was wrong?" "I didn't fully realize it until I went to Paris." "Did you belong to any religious organi zation?" "So." "You went to church and Sunday school In Pittsburg?" "Not In Pittsburg." "In Paris it was impressed on you that White had done you a terrible wrong?" "In a way." "Before you left Paris you had begun to look on such relations as very wrong?" "Yes." "Had you come to a full understanding of the infamous character of White's act ?" Objection to Sneering Question. "Yes, but not so much as I have now." "Yet It was this that induced your re nunciation of Thaw's great love?" Mr. Delmas objected to what he thought a sneering question. Mr. Jero'me denied any such thing. "Do you use the word 'renunciation' sincerely?' asked Mr. Delmas. "If this story is true, I do." said Mr. Jerome. "Never In the history-. " "I renew my objection," said Mr. Delmas. "Do you mean to tell me the story is not true?" asked Mr. - Jerome of Mr. Delmas. "That's the only reason you can object" Justice Fitzgerald sustained the objec tion. "Did you refuse Thaw because of the occurrence with White" asked Mr. Jerome of the witness. Recause I had been found out." "Who told you you had been caught" "Friends of Stanford White." "So it was not because of the occur rence, but because you had been found out." "It waa both together. I had an Instinct about It. When Mr. Thaw proposed. It was the first proposal I ever had. and It all struck me very seriously. !t all cam together." "You thought . the most heinous ATTENDS TO HIS , HARRY K. Thaw's mail is very large, and as he enters court each morning he brings the him In the Tombs in the morning. During lulls in the trial he closely reads these wrong had been done you at the time of your ravishment I didn't know a-nything about it at the time.. All I remember is I felt like when I woke up. I didn't understand what had taken place." It outraged eviry maidenly instinct In you. didn't It" 'It did and that is why I ouarreied with Stanford White." You were very bitter against 'White when you told Thaw, were you not"?" "Not then. "When you felt you were giving tin Thaw's love, you didn't feel bitter against w nit7 Not until Mr. Thaw made me realize it." "You remember writing to White from Boulogne?" "Yes." "Did you still feel bitter against While?" "Yes. I did." "Jt was a feeling of enmity against your ravisher?" "I wouldn't say enmity it was hos tility against him for this one thing and subsequent things." " hat. subsequent things?" "Things with Stanford White." "Were they improper and indecent?" "I don't know what you would call them." "You still were thinking: of these things when you wrote White from Boulogne?" "Yes, and of his extraordinary per sonality." HN personality had softened the feeling, had it?" asked Mr. Jerome. In one way it had, in another it had not. "Then why did you write that letter to White?" demanded Mr. Jerome fiercely. Coerced ly Her Mother. "Because my mother would giv me no p;aee until I did it." Mrs. Thaw raised her voice as she made this re ply. "You were coerced into writing?" "Yf s. I was. My mother said I was ungrateful to Mr. "White, and things like that." "Had you any occasion to doubt the chastity of your own mother?" "I never thought of my mother in that way," Mrs. Thaw stamped her foot. "Did you tell your mother of your rav ishment while abroad?" "Xo." "How did you know Stanford White's friends knew of your relation with White?" "One of them saw me with him at the East Twenty-second street studio." Continued Relations With White. "Was there any Impropriety there? So you continued to maintain relations with White, after your ravishment?" "Y'es, for a time." Thaw buried his face in his hands. Tears were in Mrs. Thaw's eyes. Mr. Jerome demanded the name of the man who had seen her at the studio. He asked the witness to whisper it. Mr. Delmas wanted it publicly an nounced. -J-ustice Fitzgerald settled the matter, saying the name might be given to counsel, the court and the Jury. "Did you tell Harry Thaw about these subsequent relations?" "Yes." "And you didn't think to tell us on your direct examination?" "No." "Can you fix dates as to these subse quent events?" "No." "How did you know this man knew of your relations with White?" "He saw me undressed in the bedroom under the studio." "Wholly undressed?" "Yes." "How long did the relations continue?" "Not after January, 1902." "How many Incidents were there?" "I don't remember." "Were they frequent?" "No." "Ten times?" "I can't remember." "Where did these things occur?" "At the Twenty-second-street and Twenty-fourth-street studios and in the tower." "And on them occasions you consent ed?" "I did noU" CORRESPONDENCE WHILE ON TRIAL FOR MURDER y - : THAW EXAMINING LETTERS IN THE COURTROOM. "It was done by violence?" "Partly." "Were you drugged again?" "No." "Did you have too much wine?" "Yes." "What time of the day did these in cidents occur?" "Usually after the theater." "On the first occasion, where did you go?" "To the Twenty-fourth-street stu dio." "You went from the theater?" "Y'es." "Alone?" "I don't remember." "And this was within a month after your ravishment?" "Yes." "Did you go of your own accord?" "I objected to going." "Why did you go?" "I had to." "Was your mother back?" "Y'es." "Did she meet you after the theater?" "Not that night." "When White came to the theater that night what did he say?" "He did not come to the theater. He wrote me: we met afterwards." "Why did you go with him?" "Because he insisted." . "And you did not want to go?" "I wanted to go to supper." Mr. Jerome continued to press the wit ness for details. After several intimate questions, he asked her why she did not tell her mother of these occurrences. "I was afraid. He made me swear never to tell her," replied the witness. Breaks Down, but Recovers. Continuing, Mrs. Thaw admitted that White gave her wine on that night and that she was slightly intoxicated. The witness was rapidly losing her self possession, and as Mr. Jerome continued to ply her with delicate questions, she broke down and wept. "We might take a recess, the witness seems " Mr. Jerome began. Mr. Delmas objected. "If there is to be a recess, it is not to be on account of the witness. I think she will be able to go on." Mrs. Thaw wined her eyes several times and straightened tip. Mr. Jerome proceeded. "When you returned to your home you felt you had been wronged?" "Yes" "Were you under the influence of liquor then?" "No." "The next morning did you tell your mother?" "No, I could not." Each Time Was Intoxicated. Mrs. Thaw told of several other like in cidents, in each case the questions and answers being the same. She said on each occasion, she was given much wine and was slightly intoxicated. On no occasion did she yield willingly. "Do you know Dr. Carlton Flint?" "No." "Did you ever consult him?" "I don't remember." . "Did you ever go to a doctor with a man?" "Yes, with Mr. Thaw once." "Ever with anyone else?" "With Mr. -White." "Did you ever go to a doctor's office with Jack Barrymore?" "Never." "Didn't you go with liim to Dr. Flint in 1901 or 1902?" "I never did." "When you went to Paris in 1903, you told Mr. Thaw all this?" asked Mr. Jerome, returning to the relationship with Mr. White. . "I did." "Did he express himself forcibly?" "He did." "Did he characterize White as wrong, wicked and deserving punishment?" "Yes." "Did you then think the acts as bad as he said?" "I do not know." "It seemed awful to you?" "It was the worst thing that ever hap pened to me." "Then, why did you write Mr. White from Boulogne?" "Because my mother made me." "Why had you nt told your mother about all this?" "I could not." "Tou had rather write- to this great -From the New York Herald. mass of letters that has been delivered to letters. brute, this monster, as you believed him, than tell her?"' "I'd rather have dieu than telf her." Mr. Jerome read scraps of a letter which Mrs. Thaw had said was in her husband s writing. It read: "He couldn't keep iiis eyK off any pretty girl. There was trouble be cause he went there to dln. Severn! beautiful girls were there last week, and Belle. Nobody paid any attention to her, and he went away for a few minutes. The first time she came to Kveiyn she never spoke. Evelyn cried. For some reason she did not perform well. I Introduced the ladies to her, and they grinned sweetly. The night of the Grand Prix there was a swell time at the Cafe de Paris. Afterward the 'Dead Rat." Miss "Winchester was there, and we got her cakewalking at 2 A. M. It was a great hit. Kosenfeld and Belmont were there." Mrs. Thaw identified another letter written by her from Paris. The let ter was addressed to an unmarried actress, and said: "Your suggestion that the tender loin has immigrated has panned out. Everywhere we go we find shady nooks. Shuhert and a lot of others are here. We were dining at the Cafe Paris the other evening, when the whole bunch came in. We joined par ties and 'went out to such a harmless place as the 'Dead Rat.' There was one Jolly man who puts things on the blink wherever he goes. He is 50 years old, but spry as a ehkken. We took him along for fun. "We made things hum. We started home when the mar kets were getting busy. Harry bought some strawberries and things, and I spent the rest of the day cooking. When we return my voice is going to be cultivated. Be good and whirl me another letter soon. Your letters are wonderful. I have got all worked up about you, so send along: another pho tograph, if it is a good "one. You must come over soon." Mr. Jerome asked at what date Stan ford White deposited the first sum for the witness' bt-nerit. This was in 1901 and preceding the. fund established in the Mercantile Trust Company. "I don't like to state things that I am not sure about." "I don't want you ' to," replied Mr. Jerome, in a kindly voice. Demand for White's letters. "In certain letters Stanford White wrote you, didn't he remonstrate with you in regard to the extravagances?" Justice Fitzgerald upheld Mr. Del mas' objection. saying the letters should be produced. Mr. Jerome turned to Mr. Delmas. "I demand that you produce certain letters written by Stanford White to Evelyn Nesblt." "I have no such letters," Mr. Del mas aroao as he spoke. "I refar to counsel in general," said Mr. Jerome. "I never heard of the letters until Mrs. Thaw testified they were written to her while in Paris, if they are the property of some one else, I cannot produce them." "We'll settle this," said Mr. Jerome sharply. He turned to Clifford W. liwrtridge. "Will you take the stand?" Mrs. Thaw was temporarily excused and Mr. Hartridge was sworn, and ex amined as follows: Hartridge Refuses to Give Letters. What is your occupation? , Attorney. You represent the defendant? Yes. Have you In your possession letters writ ten by Stanford White to Evelyn Nesbit? I decline .to answer. Why? I am the attorney of record in this case and I decline to give the District Attorney any Information for that reason. Have you shown Mr. Delmas any papers in this case? I decline to answer. Threats to Indict Mrs. Thaw. It was here that Mr. Delmas sprang a genuine sensation, saying: "This witness is represented by counsel. She has had occasion to retain counsel because of certain threats made against her." "What threats -and where? by whom and to whom?" demanded Mr. Jerome. "Threats overheard in this courtroom. ! Threats that it is your purpose to indict this witness."' replied Mr. Dclmas: "There has been no such statement made in court," replied Mr. Jerome calmly. "You are Mrs. Thaw's attorney also?" asked Mr. Jerome of Mr. Hartridge. "Yes." "Have you any of her papers?" "Yes." "Given to you by her or the defend ant?" Mr. Hartridge declined to answer upon the ground of professional relation with Mrs. Thaw. "If Mrs. Thaw releases you and con sents, will you produce them?" "1 canont answer that here. I would have to speak with Mrs. Thaw and counsel." "Do -you know Dr. Allan Hamilton?" "Yes." "Have you in your office any report from him?" "Same answer for same reasons," re plied Mr. Hartridge. At this point luncheon recess was taken." Mrs., Thaw Quite Willing. Drs. Deemar and Ringaman were called at the opening of the afternoon session and questioned regarding the probability of their being in court when wanted as witnesses. Justice Fitzgerald announced that he would hold court tomorrow and Saturday for the two physicians, who are anxious to return to their homes. Mrs. Thaw was recalled and Mr. Jerome continued: Have you any objections to the letters written by Stanford While to ' you being produced here? No. Mr. Jerome to Mr. Hartridge Your client has waived her rights. Will you let me have the letters? Mrs. Thaw I did not say I waived anything-. I said I have no objection. Are you willing that they should be pro duced? As far as I am concerned, yes. Hartridge Again Refuses. Mr. Jerome directed a subpena to be issued for Mr. Hartridge and the letters. He asked Mrs. Thaw if she was still in love with Thaw when she turned over certain or his letters to Mr. Hummel. "I don't think I was, after what I had heard." Mr. Jerome here turned to the Judge, saying: "Mr. Hartridge has been served now, and I think we might have the letters." "Does counsel still refuse to give the letters up?" asked the Judge. "He says he will not comply." "It might save the Court's time," interposed Mr. Hartridge, "for me to say I did not receive the letters from witness, but from Mr. Thaw." "Vou will be heard later," remarked the Judge. Then Mrs. Thaw's coss-examination was resumed: Who Introduced you to White? Edna Goodrich. Where? At the Twenty-fourth-street studio house. I shouldn't call it a studio, for it wasn't. How did you come to go there? Miss Goodrich Invited me. Did Miss Goodrich tell you she was mar ried ? No. White Bluffed Another Girl. Mrs. Thaw told of proing to several parties with Stanford White after her return from Europe In 1903. . Was there anything improper? At one time he treated a valine; girl just as he treated me. He patted her on the head and said: "This little girl must have just one glass of wine and must go home early to her mother." Do you know that Stanford White ever harmed that girl in any way? No. I am only saying what I saw. It was the same bluff. How long had you been In the chorus before that experience with White? Three months. In answer to a request for an ex planation of her statement thnt it was Standford White's personality that caused a softening of her anger and her writing to him from Boulogne, Mrs. Thaw said: White a Good, Kind Man. Outside that one awful thing, Stanford White was a very grand man. He was very good and very kind. When I told Mr. Thaw this, he said it only made White more dan gerous. Before the Twenty-fourth street in cident, he had never made love to me. Everyone likd him and no one would" be lieve these things until they really found them out, and then they said they were sorry. Mr Jerome next asked regarding the wine she drank the night she lost con sciousness, and brought from her the admission that the champagne tasted like all other "champagne she had drunk up to that time. Then you didn't intend for the jury to assume when you said it tasted bitter that it differed from any other champagne you had tasted ? Oh. I did not intend that. It was not par ticularly different, it tasted bitter to me. It all made me dizzy and caused by ears to thump. Mrs. Thaw said that after the occur rence in the Twenty-fourth-street housje she saw White almost every night until she went to school in ,the Fall of 1902. After January. 1903. she refused to go anywhere with him, al though he continually urged her to do so Dirty Stories Told in Studios. Mr. Jerome then asked: At different times during 1901 and 1902 you were at parties in the studios and met many different men and women ? Yes. Did you ever see any improprieties at any of these parties? Yes. What? Well, they told a lot of stories. Did Stanford White tell any of these sto ries? Yes. Were they obscene? Yes. Were there any other women there? Yes. Did they tell stories. One had too much wine and told some. Jerome wanted the name and she whispered it to him. He exclaimed: Ah! She was the same woman to whom two year later you ware writing letters from Paris, telling her about the "Dead Rat?" Yes. Mrs. Thaw Collapses. How long did you know her? tntll just before my marriage. Then your friendship broke up? 1 would not call It friendship. i You corresponded, didn't you. with this lewd person ? I didn't say lewd person. I said the sto ries were bad. You have letters from her? Yes. Will you produce them? Yes. At this point a 10-minute recess was taken to air the courtroom. When Mrs. Thaw left the courtroom at the noun recess she collapsed completely. She was placed on a couch in the witness-room by her friend. May Macken zie, who revived her by the use of smelling salts. Luncheons and Suppers. After the recess, Mrs. Thaw told of go ing to various luncheons and suppers at the Twenty-fourth studio house and to the Madison-Square room. She often went alone In a carriage, trusting to White's promise that there would be others pres ent. She did not go often to the Twenty-fourth-street house. White having largely abandoned that place, because, he told her, actresses who had been there bad told about it "all over town." Examination continued: Were there Improprieties at these lunch sons and suppers? I don't know anything very bad. There were some stories told. looking back a little now, do you re member any Improprieties? looking hack a little now. none of It seems pleasant. Was their conduct worse than Miss Win. (..cheater's c&kewalk In ths "Dead Rat?" I never saw Miss Winchester do a cake walk in the "Dead Rat." You are mistaken about that. Was it In the Cafe Paris? Yes she was a professional dancer. Was the dance indecent? I would r.ot make such a broad statement as that. I don't think it would have been allowed on the stage. Was Stanford White present at all the parties you attended in 102 and l:t;(? Not all of them. Mrs. Thaw told or going to a supper as the guest of Frances Belmont. Mr Jerome asked: She was an actress? Well, she was on the stage. She was in "Florodora." Quarreled With White. Mrs. Thaw said that on her nineteenth birthday. December 25. 1903, Mr. White was to give a supper for her at the Tower room. White went to the Madison Square Theater, where she was playing the night before, but she quarreled with him and he went away, later he re turned, but she had not yet decided to go with him. He went away again and later Thaw came to the stage door for her. Mr. Jerome asked: He Was in an automobile? No, I think It was a carriage. Are you sure? 'o, but 1 think so. Was there any one else in the carriage? Yes, one man and one woman. -A man named Boman. doorkeeper at the theater, who testified early in the trial, said that White returned to the theater later and. flourishing a revolver, threat ened to kill Thaw, and also said Thaw arrived in an electric automobile and was alone. Mr. Jerome asked Mrs. Thaw next: Was there a man named Kennedy stand ing outside the stage door that night with another man? I never heard of any Kennedy. Hadn't Thaw told you he employed two detectives because of White? No. You went to Rector's from the theater that night. Yes. And left there about 4 A. M ? I don't know what time It was. Had there been much wine drunk? Yes. At that time it was jour custom to drink considerable wine at your meals? At that time in l!to:i. Did Thaw sometimes drink a good deal? Yes. Was he easily affected by wine? Not particularly. After leaving Rector's didn't you go to a house in West Twenty-seventh street? No. She Dodges a Trap. When you came out of the Twenry-sev-enth-strcet house, didn't you see Kennedy and the other man standing outside? I have already told you we didn't go to any Twenty-seventh -street house, so how could 1 see anybody coming out? Well. a-cre you in such a condition that your memory was clouded? No. Were you Intoxicated? No. Did you have to be assisted out of Rec tor's? No, sir. Where did you go after leaving Rector's? To an apartment-house somewhere off Central Park West. Where were ynu living then? At the Audubon. Were you then receiving money from Stanford White? Not then. Didn't White give you a -letter of credit for use on your trip to Europe, and wasn't some of that left? My mother got that. Which apartment was it that you went to? Mr. Thaw's. Did you remain all night? Y'es. When did you return home? Next day. v Did you have any quarrel with White about Thaw? No. Adjoining Rooms With Thaw. When did you move to the Grand Hotel? I think it was a few days later. What name did-you register? 1 did not register. Were you alone? My maid was there; Mr. Thaw was in the same htel. Where were your rooms? On the second floor. Did they connect with his? Yes. During the time you were living at the Grand Hotel, did you ever spend a night at the York Hotell' Yes. Alone?, Yes. Did some one take you to that hotel? Yes.

Then there was a quarrel and Mrs. Nesbit re mained in London, while the witness and Thaw made a long trip through Europe. Mrs. Thaw's description of the places visited was somewhat meagre. At one time she remembered a "pretty moun tain." and at another they visited a town "where I got some cheese that was very' good."

"That is entirely untrue." said Mrs. Thaw, with a stamp of her foot. Did your mother ever tell you so?" Mr. Jerome was reading from the type written statement made to him by Mrs. Holman. Mrs. Thaw replied: It did not tell nip. TMd you ever hear of it? Yes. but ft was not true. Tl-.a-. s valet, Bedford, wan supposed, to look out for her. wasn't he? Mr. Delmas objected to this, and Mr. Jerome withdrew the question. He then asked: Do you know that aho,:t that time a ra hh'grain was sent to Stanford White about Jour mother? Yes. Did not this calilegvant request Stanford Whit" to use his influent e with toe Am-ri-can Kmb:-sy in London to keep our mother from raisin? a fuss and interfering with your going on with Thaw?
