The Countess and Mrs. Carnegie went out, but returned in ' less than five minutes. For the first time since the beginning of the trial the courtroom this afternoon was crowded to its caouulty by the gen eral public, a large portion of the audi ence being women.

WHITE'S ri'KSlTT OF EVELYN )ffeiir-e Gets to Hear of Facts Loading to Shooting. Kv YUUIv. Feb. 6. When the ses sion of court began in the Thaw trial, District Attorney Jerome stated that upon adjournment yesterday the point was pending as to the admission of certain testimony by witness, who was about to state a conversation held with Thaw in January, The court had sustained the objection to the question interposed by Mr Joromo. hut had invited the citation of authorities. Mr. Jerome was reading from a case which he had applied, when D. M. Dolrnas arose and suggested thiit a wit luf-s ho placed upon the stand before the t-"'it imtlr.g of proceedings. It then became known that Mr. Delmas was to assume active charge of the de fense, whose case was handled yesterday hy Mr. Gleason. -Mr: Jerome replied to Mr. Delmas that the matter of allowing the witness, Bo man, to state a conversation with the defendant was pending yesterday, and should be finally decided before bringing In further examination. Mr. Delmas said he would withdraw the question asked the witness, which caused the objection to be entered. This was agreed to. Mr. Jerome said he would withdraw his objection to the in troduction of evidence tending to show insanity in collateral branches of the Thaw family provided certain questions asked the witnesses of yesterday were withdrawn. "We withdraw the questions." said Mr. Delmas. and will go over the matter again. Mr. Delmas directed that Benjamin Koman. whose testimony had been ex eluded yesterday, be recalled. White Enraged With Jealousy. Mr. Boman snid hat in 1S&1 he was doorkeeper at the Madison' Square Thea- 1 ter, and knew both White and Thsvsv. "D'.d you ever hear White make threats against the life of any person?" - "Yes.'l Mr. Jerome saying he was not assured the defense was to be one of self-defense Mr. Delmas declared that everything in the way of defense the law allowed was to be taken advantage of. Mr. Jerome withdrew his objections. "A few nights after Christmas," the witness resumed, "Stanford White came up to me after the show and wanted t know If Miss Nesbit had gone h.ome. told him she had. He replied: lou aro a liar!' I told him to go back upon the stage and see for himself. When he returned and as he pascsd me, he pulled a pistol from his pocket and mut teied, 'I'll kill that before daylight." " The witness stated the vile name he said White had applied to the man whose life he had threatened in a loud voice. Told Thaw of White's Threat. hen I told him Miss Nesbitt had home he asked me with whom.' "Mr. Thaw.' I replied. Oh, that Pittsburger,' said Mr. White. Had Miss Nesbitt gone with Mr. Thaw ?" Yes, he came for her in an automo bile." You have told us everything Stanford White said that night?" Yes." Then you never heard White say he would kill Thaw?" No." Did he mention Thaw's name?" . Kept Story Secret Six Months. "No." "When did vou first tell this story to defendant s counsel?" 'I don't remember the date 01 tne let ter, but I think in December last." "Did you wait from June to last Decem ber before writing to his counsel?" Bowman then detailed his visit to Thaw's counsel and told of making; an affidavit in relation to his story. When the District Attorney conciua- ed his cross-examination, Mr. ueimaa took the witness in hand again. Bowman said he was a soldier in the United States Army from 1898 to 1899. "Were you in active service.' "Yes." Mr. Jerome was on his feet with an objection, but the answer had been re corded. I will withdraw the question," re marked Mr. Delmas, evidently satisfied. I hope counsel will keep within the law." suggested Mr. Jerome. We hope to learn from you, Mr. District Attorney," replied Mr. Delmas. "Were you advised by anyone to communicate Mr. White's threats to Mr. Thaw?" The District Attorney objected and was sustained. 'But you wrote to Detective Sergeant Herlihy?" "Yes." "That's all." William S. Howard, a piano dealer. succeeded Mr. Bowman upon the stand, but before any information had been obtained he was withdrawn. "Never." On direct examination he was asked when he first met the District Attorney. Some months ago at the (jnion liuo. Did you ever make a statement to him or his assistant?" 'I made a deposition. Did it Temain in the District Attor ney s office "So far as I know it is still mere. Mr. Jerome asked Mr. McCaleb if he considered himself qualified to pass upon man's mental state ana ne saia on did. Jerome Enraged at W itness. ra-hen Mr Jerome took up the re-cross- examination, he Introduced as exhibit No. 3 a document and asked air. Aiciiif u n it was the document he had referred to. Mr. McCaleb read it carefully irom Be ginning to end and then saia mat it was the paper he naa signeu. Mr. Jerome offered the document ui evi dence, but it was withdrawn wnen jir. Delmas objected. Mr. Delmas men asaea Mr. McCaleb: When vou had a talk wltn tne Dis trict Attorney at the Union Club a few days after the shooting, did you ten him that you thought Mr. rnaw was irrational?" Mr. Jerome objected and his objection was sustained. Mr. McCaleb s lips moved. Mr. Jerome sprang to his feet: - What do you mean by answering mat question after the court has ruieu it out? 1 call the attention of the court to this literary man who comes here anu acts in this manner., u is positively indecent." Mr. Delmas protested that the witness had the misfortune to have to testuy in the case, but was entitled to courtesy all the same. "He is." remarked Justice FltzgeraKi, who. however, admonished tne witness not to answer questions in the future until the court had ruled on them. Turns Laugh on Jerome. "Did you communicate the threat to this defendant?" asked Mr. Delmas. "Yes. 1 met him on Fifth avenue and told him 1 wanted to speak with him re garding Miss Nesbit. 1 told him of the incident at the theater and of White threat." Witness said that White was black In the face with anger when h made the threat. "Vou may take the witness," remarked Thaw's counsel to the District Attorney At the conclusion of Boman't direct ex animation, justice f ltzgeraid said: "If there are any persons in the court room whose sense of propriety would be offended by the testimony of this wit- r.ess, the court would give them an op portunlty now to withdraw." "We must ask the court to bear with us in bringing out this testimony," explained Mr. Delmas, "because it is essential." "it is perfectly right and proper," said t lie Justice. "There are ladies here, however, and 1 think they should be given an opportunity to withdraw if they so desire." The Countess of Yarmouth and Mrs. ('arnegie quickly left the room. Mr. Jerome took the witness and for the bet ter part of an hour questioned him close ly at to his employment and places of res ilience for the last five years, attempting to secure house numbers and other de tail Thaw's sisters evidently became reas sured durins the long and tedious exam ination, for after George Carnegie had gone to them and explained the charac ter of the testimony, they returned to their places. Harry Thaw, who had shown interest during the testimony as to the threats said to have been made against him by Stanford White, seemed fatigued and yawned several times. White Eager to See Actress. Boman said he went to Lons Island City in the Spring1 of 1903. Referring to his statement that he had told Thaw of White's threat, he repeated the story. Hi? said the incident occurred on Christmas eve, 1903. The witness said the. "Girl from Dixie" was playing at the theater at the time and Evelyn Nesbit was in the cast. She left the theater that night a little after 11 o'clock. Mr. Jerome then took the witness care fully over every detail of his conversation with Mr. White at th theater. "Where were you doorkeeper?" "At the stage entrance." "And when Mr. White said to you, 'You are a liar,' after you told him Miss Nesbit was out. what did you do?" "I told him to go back on the stage and ste for himself." "When Mr. White returned from the stage. Just what did he do?" "He went by me muttering, but I could catch some of the things he said. He took the pistol from his pocket and held It In his hand until he reached the stage door. As he pushed this open he replaced the revolver in his overcoat pocket." "What other conversation did yqu have vlth Mr. White?" Thaw's Action Irrational. Martin Green, a newspaperman, wa: the next witness. Mr. Green was sit ting at a table near Stanford White on the niarht of the tragedy. "When did you first see Harry Thaw that night?" After the shooting; he was standing- over Stanford White." 'What was his manner just after the shooting?" , 'He held the pistol high above his head." said Mr. Green. "He was very pale, his eyes seemed about to pop out of his head, and his nair was hanging well down on his forehead." 'In your opinion, was his action ra tional or irrational?" "I object," shouted Mr. Jerome. Mr. Delmas quoted an authority to support his question, but the District Attorney contended that the decision quoted has been superseded by later opinions. Argument on this objection con tinued after the noon adjournment. Jus tice Fitzgerald overruled Mr. Jerome's objection, and Mr. Green was directed to answer the question. 'Thaw's actions were irrational, he said. Mr. Jerome took up the croes-examina tion. 1 'Have you ever had any experience with insane persons "No, sir. "By your testimony were you charac terizing Thaw's mental state or his con duct?" aeked Mr. Jerome. "His conduct." Thaw's Companion Tells Story. Thomas McCaleb. who was one of Thaw's companions at dinner the evening of the tragedy, was called to testify. He said he is from San Francisco and S6 years of age. He said he was with Thaw on the Madison Square Roof Gar den. "Who ware in the party?" he was asked "Mr. and Mrs. Harry Thaw, Trux ton Beale and myself. " "When did you leave the roof?" "During the second act. I was walking out with Mrs. Thaw, and just as we reached an archway three pistol shot struck upon my hearing." "Was Thaw in the lead of the party?' "Xo, he was behind." "Tell us what you saw," said Mr. Del mas. Well, the next thing I saw was Harry Thaw standing with a pistol over hi head. The butt of the pistol was up. Mrs. Thaw exclaimed. "Oh. Harry, what have vou done? Why did you do it He said. 'I have saved your life.' Then he kissed her. He also said other things but in the excitement of the place I did n't hear them. I turned to Mr. Beale and said: " 'He has killed a man. I don't know who It was.' At the sidewalk Thaw was turned over to a policemtn. He said to me: " 'Take my wife to the Hotel Lorraine and telephone Carnegie.' I could not un derstand the first name." "From what you saw and heard, was Mr. Thaw in your opinion rational or irrational?" "Irrational." ASKS WASHINGTON IB 1 CONGRESSMAN JOXE'S PLAN FOR RIVER WORK. D pmmf 10 S!e $ o Good Merchandise Only Quality Considered Our Prices Are Always the Lowest Jerome Keeps Mrs. Thaw's Note. "Did you notice any communication between Mrs. Thaw and her husband at the table?" asked Mr. Delmas. "I remember she asked him for a pencil and afterwards passed him a folded pa per." "We understand." said Mr. Delmas, "that the note from Mrs. Thaw to her husband is In the hands of the learned District Attorney. I now call upon him to produce the paper." There was a dramatic silence in the courtroom. Mr. Jerome sat tugging at his short, stubby moustache. He did not move a muscle of his face. "I take it. Your Honor, that the action of the learned District Attorney in not replying is not an act of discourtesy, but his conception of what are his duties in this matter. I shall therefore have to try to get something about the note in evidence." Turning to the witness Mr. Delmas asked. "Do you know anything of the contents of that note?" "No." "Was there any discussion at the res taurant as to whether you should remain there any longer or whether you should go to the roof-garden?" i Mr. Jerome objected and was sustained. The cross-examination then began. "How long have you known the de fendant," asked Mr. Jerome. "Some years." "Where?" "In Paris and San Francisco." "Did you know Miss Nesbit before she married Thaw?" "No." "What is your occupation?" "My last occupation was as secretary to the Association for the Improvement & Adornment of San Francisco. I re signed because of my health." "What else have you done?" "Literary work." "Were you not to dine at Sherry's the evening of June 25 instead of at the Cafe Martin?" . "The note of invitation was to be at Sherry's. It was not indicated that we were to dine there." Says Thaw Looked Crazy. "When you say Mr. Thaw was irra tional, do you refer to his mental state or to his appearance?" asked the Dis trict Attorney. "I mean his appearance; his looks. It was so pronounced." "Now wait a minute," called Mr. Je rome. "We have talked this over be fore. Listen to my question: Did this man owe you any money?" "No." "Did you ever try to borrow any money from him?" You say you had a conversation with me at the union liud men: wiouieu Sir. Jerome at the witness, "What time of night was It?" "I don't recall. "Was It late in the evening?" "Yes." "How many drinks had you had?" "I had one with you." The court room was in an uproar of laughter in an instant, and the bailiffs had to rap long and loud for order. If any one again laughs in this court room, he will be removed," said Justice Fitzgerald. How many dnnks had you had oerore you had the one with me? resumed air. Jerome. The witness could not recall. Mr. Delmas objected to a further ex amination along this line and when he had been sustained by the court, asked the witness: What did the learned District At torney drink with you? "The same that I did. Lionel Strauss, a portrait painter, was then called. He said he was on Madison Sauare Roof Garden the night of the tragedy. He sat near Stanford White The shots of Thaw's pistol attracted his attention. "I first saw Thaw's face," he said, and my whole attention was absorbed by it. It was imprinted on my memory and re mains there still." "Describe the appearance of his face." "His face was very pale, his eyes gave one the impression of bulging. His mouth was set." . "Judging from what you saw of his appearance and his acts, was he in your opinion rational or irrational?" "Irrational." Mr. Strauss on cross-examination said he was not an expert on mental diseases. Jerome Renews Objection. Dr. John Deemar - of Kittanning. Pa., who was brought forward yesterday to testify as to an alleged strain of insanity in the family of Mrs. William Thaw, but whose testimony at the time - was ruled out. was recalled by Mr. Delmas. Mrs. William Thaw was a Miss Copley. Dr. Deemar is the Copley family physi cian. Dr. Deemar was asked concerning Henry Copley and John Ross, the former an uncle, the latter a cousin, of the de fendant, when Mr. Jerome objected. He declared the relationship of the cousin was more remote than is con templated by law. Mr. Jerome also de clared that the based the renewal of his objection on the ground that the char acter of the defendant's insanity has not been shown. "1 don't know that he is insane or, if he is, that the insanity is hereditary in form. Let It be shown he is insane, and then let the corroborative evidence as to insanity In the family be taken," sug gested Mr. Jerome. Mr. Delmas then asked the witness if Henry Copley was insane. "Yes," he replied. "What was the character of his in sanity?" Mr. Jerome objected and said the taking of the testimony should not proceed until the proper foundation had been laid. Wife or Mother Testifies Today. Mr. Delmas then asked that the court adjourn, although it was before the usual time. Mr. Jerome consented on the un derstanding that Mr. Delmas would tell him who would be the first witness to morrow. Mr. Delmas after consulting with his associates announced: "The first witness we will call tomor row will be either the wife or mother of Harry K. Thaw." Adjournment then was ordered. Opposes State Survey on Columbia Above Celilo Falls Should Follow i Government's Suggestions. OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 6. (Special.) Congressman Wesley L. Jones has writ ten Governor Mead advising the state to contribute a certain sum to be used in connection with the Government appro priation for the improvement of the Co lumbia River above Celilo. Jones thinks the measures already proposed entail too much unnecessary expense. He says the $120,000 the Government has set aside will prepare, equip and maintain the plant for a year, and if the state would place at the disposal of the War Department a certain amount of money to be used in line with the surveys and recommenda tions already made by the department, every dollar could be spent in actual improvements. Mr. Jones has coused to be inserted in the congressional bill a provision authorizing the Secretary of Way to use any moneys that may be, placed at his disposal by either Washington or Oregon, and to use the Government plant. He says the War Department made a care ful survey of the river during the last two years and careful recommendations were made as to the imrpvements desired. It wopld seem a useless expense to provide for state engineers and a state survey. He forsees some objection to letting the Government spend state moneys, but thinks the method suggested will bring by far the best returns for the smallest outlay. .

If you see a red toy automobile bearing the number 23 on its front in plain lettering, call the police, for it may be the skiddoo machine reported stolen from the residence of T. V. Martlndale, 574 Sixth street. The skiddoo auto, which was valued at J9, was the precious property of a little boy. aped 5 years, and his heart broken as the result of his loss. His tears caused his papa to communicate with the police yesterday, in an effort to recover the little machine, so dear to the heart of his young hopeful. This particular toy auto was a beauty. It was a red one, and sped along ever so gracefully when set in motion by its proud young owner. It was his pride by day and at night he saw it in his dreams. Acting Detective Inskeep was assigned to hunt the skiddoo machine, bearing the number 23, and the youngster waits anxiously at his home for tidings of his missing auto. G. IV. Simmonson.

Aso tin Creek dropped seven feet after 2 o'clock this morning, removing all dan ger of tile Liewiston-Clarkston Com pany's $100,000 power plant being swept away. At the same time the Snake River began to rise rapidly. It came up six feet In .that manv hours, before b o'clock this morning, and continues to rise steadily. It is now 11 feet above normal flow, and coming up at the rate of about 2 inches an hour. As yet, the Clearwater River has shown but little indication of a rise. largely due to the fact that the waters from off the prairies have not ha time to reach the river and get this far down.
