LIES Specials OF THAW ANGER cross-examination when he takes the witness Is mere conjecture. It Is said he may try in some way to attack her credibility, probably as to her ability to remember other things as well as she has the stories she has declared she told Harry Thaw from time to time. Mr. Jerome searched the city last night for chorus girls whose names he has had who know of relations between Kvelyn Nesblt and Stanford White. Under the leadership of Roundsman Berry, of .Assistant District Attorney Garvan's office, and P. U Berghof. a private detective, nine of the county detective staff were sent to the tender loin last night and told to "bring In" the witnesses. Two hours after mid night three young women had been found and, under watch, spent the night at an up-town hotel. HOW WHITE PUKSVED GIRL Mrs. Thaw Continues Revelations About Provocation to Killing. NEW YORK, Feb. 8. "Call Mrs. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw to the stand," said Mr. Delmas, when court opened on the Thaw trial this morning. As she appeared and took her place in the witness chair, Mrs. Thaw was dressed precisely as on yesterday. She was extremely pale, and her lips trembled as she re plied to the attorney's first simple ques tions. This was after Mr. Delmas had stated that before any oral testimony was taken he would continue to read the postscript of the last letter offered In evi dence yesterday. The letter was ad dressed to Attorney LonKfellow. The postscript was as follows: "No one could have made me believe since I first saw her that she would show anyone except he. I first thought Bhe cared for any letter. I should have bet every cent in the world three weeks ago to get money for fabulous presenta for you; that after our trusting each other no hypnotism could make you forget all. I won't say but It is inexpressably sad." Mr. Delmas' first question to the witness was as to whether or not the "her" in the letter referred to the witness. "Yes, sir." The letter continued: "I have been asked to have nothing to do with you because you are a dangerous woman, lie never lied to you." "From the first time he saw you he wanted to do his best for you, to send you to school In Paris with your mother, or to send you both to school, and he never did anything not respectable. Yesterday he said you believed everything false peo ple told you, as you did before, as you are absolutely honest, he would do you no harm, ever for it, only he was sorry. He won't trouble you at all. aa he would do anything for you, but now you must get stronger without him. "You said you would live anywhere, anyway he wished so he could have chap eroned ye and had all the honor of your exclusive friendship, and lose nothing himself. Indeed, he wished to give up everything to do all he could for you. I wish you would have spoken this morning through the telephone. To make you sure, I will explain. After I saw the poor, ill-advised angel I was so sorry. She meant to do right, and was right, and she only kept the purest things from pol luted, lying, deceitful, money-grasping, Bmooth-tongued. hard-hearted, but soft speaking professional deceivers." Another Incoherent Letter. In the letter were also the words, "If I wished Evelyn to become mistress," but through them had been drawn a pencil. "Did the 'he' in the letter refer to Mr. Thaw, and did he Bpeak of himself thus In correspondence?" asked Mr. Delmas. "Yes." replied the witness. The letter and a magnifying glass were passed to the Jurymen, who examined the paper. The next letter, which was writ ten to Mr. Longfellow by Mr. Thaw while in Paris soon after he heard Evelyn Nes bit's story, said in part: "Thank you for sending $50 and $20 for White's telegram. I know a contented woman is happy. If you hear anything please cable, but I think it will be secret, the wedding of Josiah Thaw." The letter went on: "They would have seen our honesty, and you would have been so respected. Your reputation as a beauty would have been greater over the world. You could have owned Pittsburg not in money, but politically. "Alone I can't settle down. Besides, I have no one worth doing for. Twice I had to leave the table so they could not see. but In some ways I am a bear at times every other way I am more cheerful. "I am not responsible now. You must know every story, including Dillingham's, Is a fake, except one day I saw all those letters all sham but I don't care a little brass. "You know me better than any one. and if you don't trust me and know I am true and unselfish compared to most men. then there is no hope for me. I am changed now, but not in truth, faithful ness or courage. Promise me one thing don't drink any champagne. I am too poor and must live at home. I don't pay for your ring now. Of course, if you are in need, I can get loads of money. 1 must stay here or get a cheap ticket East. Of course, don't say any thing about this." White Renews His Pursuit. This ended the letter reading, and Mr. Delmas returned to the direct examina tion of Mra. Thaw. "Did you tell Harry Thaw of an epi sode in your life connected with, Stanford White and Abraham Hummel In New York between your return from Paris In 1803 and Christmas eve of that year?" "No, I did not tell until later." replied the witness, with perfect composure. "Did you ever tell him?" "Oh, yea." "When did you arrive from Europe?" "In October. 1W3." Mr. Jerome wanted to know what day of the month. "It was near the end of October, I think: I am not certain." "When did you tell Mr. Thaw?" "It was early in 1!M, In January." "Please relate what you told Mr. Thaw." "He asked me how I came to speak to Stanford White after my return from Europe. I told him I was driving down Fifth avenue one day in a hansom cab with my maid, and we passed White. I heard him say, 'Oh, look at Evelyn." A few days later I was called to the tele phone, and it was Mr. White. He said: 'My, but it is good to hear your voice again.' He said he wanted to come and see me. I told him I could not see him. He said it was very important that I should see him at once. He said he had had much trouble with my family, and must see me. I asked If my mother- was 111. He said It was a .matter of life and death; he could not tell me over the tele phone. So he came to see me at the Hotel Savoy. ' Told Stories Abou Thaw. ' "When he came in he tried to kiss me. but I didn't let him. He . asked what was the matter. I told him to sit down, and asked again If my mother was- ill. He said no, and also began to talk about Harry Thaw. He told me that dif ferent actresses had told him that I was In Europe with Thaw. He said after awhile tha't Harry Thaw took me to Eu rope, and asked me why I went around with a man who took morphine. "After that he came constantly to see me. He also sent people to me who told stories about Mr. Thaw, the stories I told him. I got very nervous, for I knew Mr. Thaw was coming over, and I did not want to see him. I told Mr. White I didn't want to see Mr. Thaw. "One day Mr. White telephoned me that he was going to send a carriage for me and I was to go to Broadway and Nineteenth street. I did so and White met me and got into the car riage. He said he was taking me to see Mr. Hummel, the greatest lawyer in New York, who would protect me from Mr. Thaw. He said I was not to be afraid of Mr. Hummel; he was a little man with a big, bald head, warts on his face and was very ugly. Hummel In League With White. "When I got to Mr. Hummel's office Mr. White went away. Mr. Hummel asked me how I came to go to Europe with Mr. Thaw and I told him that I did not; that I went with my mother and that Thaw followed. He asked me about my quarrel with my mother in London. I said it was a continuous quarrel between us; we Bimply could not get home. She wanted to come home to America and I said she could come, but I was going to stay there and return In the Spring, but the doc tor told me I could not dance for a year. He asked me all the places I went with Thaw. I told him I could not remember. He said that I was a minor and that Thaw should have been more careful. He said he had a case in his office against Thaw, but the woman in the case was a very bad one and he did not think the case was much good. Then he said Thaw was a very bad man and I must be protected from him. "Mr. White said I must leave every thing in Mr. Hummel's hands. Then he sent for a stenographer and the lawyer said I must not interrupt him in what he was about to say. I was very nervous and excited and began to cry. They began to dictate a lot of stuff that I had been carried away by Harry Thaw against my will. I started to in terrupt, but the lawyer stopped me. "They put it that I had been taken away from my mother; that I had been badly treated by Mr. Thaw. The6 they sent the man out of the room. Hummel Advised Suit Against Thaw. "Several days later Mr. Hummel called me up and asked if I had any letters from Mr. Thaw. I said I did, but I could not see what that had to do with it. Mr. White also called up and said if I was not going to help In every way, they could not protect me from Thaw. He said I must do just what Mr. Hummel said. I made the letters up in a bundle and took them to Mr. Hummel's office. He said he did not want to read them, and did not care what they contained. He asked, however, if they were love letters, and I said yes. He said he Just wanted to hold them over Harry Thaw's head. "Then he asked me why I did not sue Harry Thaw for breach of promise. I said that was absurd, for If there had been any breach of promise, it was on my part. He Bald that did not matter. "Mr.1 Hummel said a breach of prom ise suit would be a fine advertisement for me. I told him I did not care for that kind of advertising. He told me an English Duke had once been sued by an actress for breach of promise. He declared he could easily win a suit for me. I did not want to sue any body. That made Mr. Hummel very mad and he told me I was foolish." "What more did you tell Mr. Thaw?" suggested Mr. Delmas, to give the girl a breathing spell. "Mr. Thuw asked me if I had signed anything in Mr. Hummel's office, and I said I had not. He said that was funny, for they wanted to cause trou ble and I must have signed something. I said I had signed nothing in Mr. Hummel's office. Mr. Thaw was very much agitated. He said Hummel was a blackmailer, and he said, I think, that there was something bad In the air. and he impressed me that he was going to see Mr. . Longfellow, his law yer " Squeezed $1000 Out or White. 'Mrs. Thaw testified to going to her own lawyer and relating her experi ences with Hummel. "My lawyer told me that Hummel was a shyster.' ' A laugh went around the room. "Mr. Thaw told me I had no business to speak again with Stanford White He accused me of having improper re lations with Mr. White since I came back from Europe and I said that it was a lie. He said it would look to people aa if I was a blackmailer .by going to Hummel's office." "Did you tell of another incident?" "Yes, I told him of one day when White came to the Hotel Navarre, and he was terribly mad. 'My child.' he said, "what did you tell Mr. Hummel about me?' I said I had not said anything, and then Mr. White said I must have told Hummel, because Hummel had Just squeeied one thousand dollars out of him, and he was SKETCHES OF EVELYN NESBIT THAW, not going to send another thousand." The witness said she did not know what she had signed when she signed the paper at the request of Mr. White in his office in Madison Square Garden. "I called Mr. White, on the telephone after I had talked to Mr. Thaw and I de manded of Mr. White that he put the pa per in the fire, t He said he did not have it, but that It was in Mr. Hummel's of fice. Ha told me not to talk the matter over on the telephone. He said he would meet me on the corner, and we went to Mr. Hummel's office. He showed me the paper and my signature and asked if it was mine, and I said it was. Then they burned the paper." Because. She Loved Thaw. "How did Mr. Thaw treat you from that time until he proposed marriage " "He treated me very nicely, carried me up and downstairs when I was sick and brought me flowers." After her marriage, the witness said, they took a trip through the West. While in Pittsburg, she said, she lived at the home of her husband's mother. She related how she had refused to mar ry Thaw before she finally did. "What reason did you give him for not marrying him?" "It was because of my reputation. I didn't want to separate him from his family. I knew it would be a good thing for me to marry him, but it would not be for him. It was because 1 loved him that I would not marry. If I did not l.ve him much I might have been anxious to marry him. Mr. Delmas got the witness to relate how she met some of the Thaw family in Europe and continued his questioning: "There was something which led you to change your mind in regard to marry ing Thaw?" asked Mr. Delmas. "Yes." "You were given to believe that his family would receive you as his wife?" "Yes." "Did you meet Mrs. Thaw, his mother, in New York?" "I did." "After marriage did you visit New York from Pittsburg?" "We did." White After Her Acain. "Did you tell your husband of the efforts of Stanford White to renew your friend ship?" "I did." "What was the first occurrence you told your husband about?" "Once when I was driving on Fifth ave nue, when I passed Mr. White and he called out to me." "Did you tell your husband?" "I did, and he said it was not right for me to see him and made me promise that if I ever met White again I would tell him about it." ' "Did you tell him?" "I did." "When did you see Mr. White again?" "I was on Fifth avenue one day when I was riding to Dr. Delavan's to have my throat treated. I was in a hansom and Mr. White was also. riding in a han som. When I got home I told Mr. Thaw that I passed Mr. White. He did not attempt to speak to me, but stared hard at me. I looked away. When I got down to the doctor's office I found Mr. White coming there. I ran up the steps, but was excited and nervous and I told the door porter that I would come at another time, so I ran back down, jumped into my hansom, looked neither to the right nor left, and told the driver to go back to the Lorraine as quickly as ever he could." "How did Mr. Thaw act when you told him or this? ' Thaw A ery Excited When Told. "Oh. he was always very excited when I told him of meeting with Mr. White. He bit his nails and looked excited." "Did you ever tell Mr. Thaw -how you came to be sent to school at Pompton, N. J? and. if so, relate it to the Jury, and also where the name of Jack Barry- more entered into the discussion and tell what your relations to Barrymore were.' "I met Mr. Barrymore when I was with 'The Wild Rose, company. Mr. White gave a dinner to a whole lot of friends. I was asked to attend and I went there and met his friends at the party. Mr. Barrymore war there." At this point a recess was .taken. Jus tice Fitzgerald said that because of the probable length of the trial he was dis. posed to continue court on Tuesday, Lin coin's birthday, although it is a legal holiday. Mr. Delmas said the defense would agree. Jack Barrymore Proposed. Mrs. Thaw, on resuming the stand this afternoon,- said that when she told Stanford White of Jack Barrymore's having1 invited her to a party, he be came very angry and said he would send her away to school in New Jersey. Mrs. Thaw detailed her relations with Barrymore and her being sent away to school, saying: "It all came about through a quarrel between Mr. White, my mother and my self over Mr. Barrymore. One afternoon on Madison-Square Garden, Mr. Barry' more said to me, 'Evelyn, will you marry me?" I answered him and said, 'I don't know. White asked me if I would marry Barrymore and said, 'If kids like you get married, what would you have to live on?" "Every day after that when I would BY EASTERN" NEWSPAPER ARTISTS. meet my mother, she would ask me if I intended to marry that little pup Bar rymore, saying Mr. White was afraid I would- Mr. White then came to see me and said I would be very foolish to marry Mr. Barrymore, we would have nothing to live on, would probably quar rel and get a divorce. He also said Mr. Barrymore- was a little bit crazy, that his father was in an asylum and he thought the whole family was touched. He was certain Mr. Barrymore would be crazy in a few years and for that reason said I ought not to marry him. "Mr. Barrymore asked me a second time if I would marry him and I again said, 'I don't know,' and he laughed. The upshot of the whole matter was that Mr. White came and said that I ought to be sent to school and I was." Defamation of the Dead. At this stage of the trial, one of the most dramatic features occurred. District Attorney Jerome made an earnest pro test against "any further defamation against the dead." Mr. Delmas had asked the . witness: "After you told Mr. Thaw what hap pened between Stanford White and you In 1901, did you ever have any conversa tion with him in which he told you what happened to other young girls who had met a similar fate at the- hands of that man?" "What man?" interrupted Mr. Jerome. "Why, Stanford White," replied Mr. Delmas in a loud tone. "Who else?" 'I appeal to your honor," said the Dls- i trict Attorney, "that this has gone far enough. Are there no limits to which the defamation of the dead may go? The prosecution has no chance to con trovert one word of this testimony and Stanford White is dead." "Your honor," replied Mr. Delmas, 'we contend that, in proving the state of this man's mind, we have the un doubted right to Introduce evidence which tends to show that fresh fuel was added to the fire in things the defendant heard from other sources. We will produce documentary evidence executed by Thaw himself showing his condition. I have no desire to say one-word against the mem ory of Stanford White that my duty does not compel me to say; my duty is to the living." To this Mr. Jerome replied: "So we have not the slightest evidence to show that the defendant was ever of unsound mind in his life. I submit that this is matter which comes well within the discretion of the court." Justice Fitzgerald said: "The sugges tion of the District Attorney seems a good one. I would suggest that this is the proper time for the introduction of the evidence counsel refers to." Justice Fitzgerald then explained to the jury the law which, in cases where insanity is pleaded as a defense, prevents the prosecution from controverting many statements which have been made to this effect, whether true or not. Wills of the Thaws Excluded. Mr. Delmas then introduced a number of papers. Among several handed to the witness to identify was Harry K. Thaw's will, in which he is said to have left all his property to his wife. A full half hour was consumed in the examination of the papers, which finally were marked as exhibits. Mrs. Thaw then was excused temporari ly, to allow Miss Frances E. Pierce to be called to the stand to testify to her signa ture as a witness to the papers. It de veloped from Miss Pierce's testimony that one of these papers was the will of Evelyn Thaw. Both wills were executed the day of Harry Thaw's marriage in Pittsburg. Miss Pierce said on cross-examination she did not know whether all the matter In the wills was in them when she ap pended, her name. She simply witnessed the signatures of Thaw and his wife. Mr. Jerome" declared the wills had many interlineations, additions, etc., in various handwritings. He thought all these changes should be proved before the papers were received in evidence. Justice Fitzgerald upheld the objection and ruled the wills out. Mr. Delmas argued that the document was admissible because the pages were fastened together with the, signature on the last page. Mr. Jerome said this was not sufficient identification. Justice Fitzgerald stated that the Identification was not complete and Mr. Delmas then offered only the last page in evidence. Mr. Jerome again objected. Miss Pierce could not positively identify even that page. Justice Fitzgerald ruled that, as the will was to be used to show the un sound mind of the defendant, it must be positively shown that it was In the same condition as when signed. He repeatedly sustained Mr. Jerome's objections. Mr. Delmas. stating he was not pre pared to offer further evidence upon the wills then, had Mrs. Thaw recalled and asked her again if Mr. Thaw had con stantly discussed with her, up to June 25. 1S0G, the fate of other young girls "similar to your fate with Stanford White?" and asked If in those discus sions the defendant's manner was rational or irrational. Mr. Jerome objected to the question aa leading and was sus tained. "Did Mr. Thaw discuss with you the fate of any one?" "Yes." "Did he mention the names of one or more young girls?" Here Mr. Jerome said he must again object upon the ground that this testi mony was permissible pnly as tending to prove insanity, and as yet there was no evidence as to whether the defendant is or was insane. Mr. Jerome said "there seemed to be no end of these tenderloin tales broirght here to smudge the memory of him who is dead." "If we have not been showing the insanity of the defendant ever since yes terday, what have we been doing?" asked Mr. Delmas. "I contend that I could have objected yesterday," said Mr. Jerome, "but I did not do so then because I thought we ought to have some of this sort of testi mony, but I did not suppose we were going into the gossip of the tenderloin for several years. I know you can force it, Mr. Delmas, If you want, but the court has the right to direct in which order it is put in." "I admit that right in the court." re plied Mr. Delmas, "but it was owing to the fact that no objection was made that there has been no better foundation made up 'to this time. As to the remarks of the learned District Attorney regarding gossip of the tenderloin, I am unable to understand his meaning, but I suppose it refers to some disreputable section of the city. I can only say, sir, if you had ac cepted the will which this defendant signed upon the night of his wedding and the codicil in his own hands, you would understand what an Impression these stories made on his mind. "The court has repeatedly told the jury that this is not gossip from the tender loin we have been putting in evidence, but the story this girl related to her husband at the time he first asked her to become his wife, and the subsequent events in the life of these young people. If the court feels it is necessary to lay a broader foundation, we will proceed to do so as soon as possible. In the mean time, I will ask that adjournment now be taken until Monday morning." The adjournment was ordered at 3:40 o'clock. Thaw's counsel stated that Mrs. Thaw would again take the stand Mon day. Thaw's Escapades In Paris. PARIS, Feb. 8.
