IN PM OF WHITE
(Continued From First Faije.l
"And you received letters from him?"
Yes."
"Were these letters among the packages
of letters you burned after taking- them
from a storage warehouse in this city?"
Mr. Delmas objected and was sustained.
"Didn't you visit a warehouse with a
lawyer?"
"Ves."
"What was his name?"
"Mr. HartrldRe."
"Did you take some letters out of the
house?"
"No."
"Examine any while there?"
"No."
"Didn't you visit the warehouse with
another lawyer?"
"Yea"
"W hat was the lawyer"s name?"
"Warren, I think."
It developed that the 42 letters intro
duced yesterday and identified by Mrs.
Thaw were written by Stanford White to
another girl.
Demands White's Letters.
"Where are Stanford White's letters?"
"Mr. Martrldtre has some tof them."
Mr. Jerome demanded theiproduction of
th letters.
Thaw's counsel made no response.
"Did you give these letters to Mr. Hart
tidf?e?" "No."
"Who did?"
"Mr. Thaw."
"You gave them to your husband?
"Yes."
"Was there a single word of im
propriety or Indecency in the letters
from White to you?"
"1 don't remember."
"Did you keep all of Mr. White's let
ters?" No."
"Have you a copy of the letter you
wrote Mr. White from Boulogne?"
"No." -
"Do you remember its contents?"
"No."
"How many letters did you give Mr.
Th.iw?"
"Fourteen."
She testified that she gave the 14
letters to Mr. Thaw in Paris in 1903.
Afterwards she received them from .
Thaw's valet and gave them to Thaw
gain. presumably after he had shot
White. All of tnese letters were re
ceived from White while she was
abroad In 1903 and were given to
Thaw.
"Where are these letters now?"
"I don't know."
"When did you see them last?"
"In Paris, 1903."
"Have you been interrogated by the
counsel for the defense as to their con
tents?" "No."
Do you remember their contents?"
"Only In a general way."
Mr. Jerome questioned the witness at
length regarding these letters which were
placed In a warehouse before she went to
Kurope and taken out after her return.
"What became of these letters?"
Fails to Trip Her.
"I gave them to Mr. Thaw."
Mrs. Thaw fenced with the District At
torney quite skillfully at times, keeping
her wits well about her.
Mr. Jerome spent an hour or more on
the subject of White's letters, Mrs. Thaw
declaring that the 14 letters which were
turned over to Mr. Hartridge were the
only ones she positively knew to be in
existence.
Mr. Jerome would ask occasionally a
very pointed question, evidently for the
purpose of tripping up the witness, but
Mrs. Thaw would reply with an emphatic
nod of her head: "I didn't say that."
"Y'ou are sure these 14 letters in Mr.
Hartridge's hands are the only ones In
existence?"
"There may be some in a trunk."
"Where Is the trunk?"
"In Paris."
"Whereabouts in Paris?"
Mis. Thaw save the name of a ware
house in the French capital.
umn t you in iwj take tnese letters
from a warehouse In this city?"
"Yes. I took some at that time."
"Weren't some sent you afterward?"
"Yes, from the trunk In the warehouse."
Mrs. Thaw said the goods in the ware
house were stored in her mother's name,
and there was a row over letting her
have anything. Stanford White arranged
to get the trunk, however.
. "I don't remember any letters in the
trunk, however," said Mrs. Thaw.
"Why did you not give Thaw all of
Stanford White's letters Instead of just
some of them?" ,
"I didn't say that."
."You said some were in a trunk in
Paris."
"I said they might be."
"Didn't you retain some letters?"
"I don't know that I did."
"Thaw was pressing you all the time
to give him all these details of this af
fair with Stanford White, wasn't he?"
"Yes."
"Y'ou gave him the letters before your
marriage"
"Yes."
That Night With White.
Mr. Jerome here dropped the subject of
letters and turned to Mrs. Thaw's story
to her husband.
"How long were you unconscious in that
Twenty-fourth-street house at the time
Of your experience with Stanford White?"
. "I don't remember."
"Was it after midnight that you became
unconscious?"
"Yes, I think it was."
"Was it before daylight?"
"Y'es, beforo daylight," replied Mrs.
Thaw after hesitating.
Mr. Jerome read from Mrs. Thaw's di
rect testimony the statement that she sat
up all that night. She replied that she
meant the rest of the night after she had
been taken home.
"When did you first meet Ted Marks?"
"I think It was in 1900, or early in 1901
in New York."
"You received letters from him?"
"Yes."
"L'p to this time did your relations with
your mother continue friendly?"
"Yes."
"There was nothing to show that
your mother was willing- to sacrifice
you for a pecuniary consideration ?"
"No."
Mr. Delmas was on Ills feet Instantly.
"There Is nothing In this case that
Is even an Intimation of such a thing.
If I have said anything to the learned
District Attorney to indicate that I
think this unfortunate mother sacri
ficed her daughter. 1 wish to emphat
ically deny it."
Relations With Her Mother.
"In all the troubles you went
through." continued Mr. Jerome, "you
never thought anything hut that your
mother showed a lack of Judgment?"
-No."
"What were in the letters Ted Marks
wrote you?"
"I can't remember everything. He
Mid ho had seen my picture in the
papers and would like to place me on
the stage."
She first met Marks at the Grand
Opera-House at a Sunday night con
cert. She could not remember what
Marks talked about, but he said noth-

i ii K tiMvui iuc BiBftc. oiia uiti not re
momhr hnw Inner fihn waa with fo.va
hat Sunday evening. She remembered
id not know whether it was that
e;ht or not.
.Mr. Jerome asked what Mrs. Kesblt
thought about her daughter going on
the stage.
"Mamma said I ought not to go out
without her. She said the show was
all right, but she ought to go along."
"At this time did you know Francis
Belmont or Edna Goodrich?"
No." -
"Or James A. Garland?"
"No."
Mr. Jerome next asked about a man
named Hoppe or Hopley. He pressed
her closely about this man, and want
ed to know if he had not lived at the
same house with her.
"Not while I lived there," she re
sponded. "Have you seen him since those days
in 1901?"
"1 may have passed him on the
street."
"I do not mean that way?"
"No," said Mrs. Thaw, with a stamp
of her foot.
Carefully Guarded at Theater.
Mrs. Thaw under questioning went
through the story of her visit to the of
fice of Mr. Fisher, a theatrical manager.
They had a letter from Marks. It was on
this occasion that Fisher said he was not
running a baby farm. He finally agreed
to take Miss Nesbit.
"How long did you play in "Floro
dora"?" "After several weeks In the chorus I
went into the east. Late In July, I went
with the Geisha." "
"Your mother came for you every
night?"
"Y'es. until I met Stanford White."
"Who introduced you to White?"
"Kdna Goodrich." .
"Where did you meet Miss Goodrich?"
"At the theater, in "Florodora." "
'.'You and she were friends?"
"Yes."
-'Did you see very much of ber?"
"Not much."
"When Edna Goodrich Introduced you to
Stanford White, was that the first time
you had been anywhere?"
"Yes."
"During the time you were in the 'Floro
dora' company had you ever been out?"
"Yes."
"With whom?"
"With mamma and Mr. Garland." .
"Where did you meet Mr. Garland?"
"At the boarding-house on Forty-eighth
street."
"Did you ever write any letters to him?"
"I don't remember, I might."
"Your mother was not pleased with Mr.
Garland's attentions to you?"
"Yes."
"Y'ou had no quarrel with your mother
about him?"
"No."
Went Yachting With Garland.
"Y'ou went yachting with him?"
"Y'es, mamma and I went on Satur
days." "Your mother was not pleasell with
that?"
"Oh. yes: but she was seasick."
"Is it not true that in the Spring of 1901,
so far as your relations with your mother
were concerned, you were getting un
ruly, that your mother still stuck by you;
that a married man "
At this point Mr. Delmas interposed an
objection to Mr. Jerome's reading from
what he termed a statement by Evelyn
Thaw's mother.
"If the District ' Attorney "wants the
mother's testimony in this, he should pro
duce her on the stand," he said.
"I'd like to, but that is impossible. You
know where she is," said Mr. Jerome.
The question regarding Evelyn's becom
ing unruly was allowed to stand.
"No," she answered decidedly to this
question.
"Is it not true that that married man
was James A. Garland, but that he was
getting a divorce, and that you and your
mother frequently quarreled about him?"
"No, indeed."
"Is it not true that you went alone with
him upon the yacht?
"Mamma and I. yes."
"Were you made a co-respondent in Mr.
Garland's divorce suit?"
Mr. Delmas objected. The record, he
said, was the best evidence. Mr. Jerome
withdrew the question. (
"Who was present upon the yacht be
sides your mother, Mr. Garland and your
self?"
"No one. The men who worked the
yacht were there."
"You went in the yacht almost every
Saturday?"
"No, but we went several times."
"This was when you were playing in
'Florodora?' "
"Y'es."
"Did George Lederer have anything to
do with your going into the 'Florodora
cast?"
"Not that I know of."
Xo Poses in "Altogether."
"During this time did you ever pose
for an artist in the nude?"
"Never."
"Ever have any cast made in the
nude?"
"No."
"Do you know Mr. Wells, a sculptor?"
"No."
"How long did you know Mr. Garland?"
"Not long."
"When did your acquaintance with him
cease?"
"When I met Stanford White."
"Isn't It true that Mr. Garland became
very annoying when you lived at a cer
tain apartment house?"
"No."
"Isn't it true that his annoyances
caused your mother to get the telephone
girl to refuse to send up his card?"
"I never heard of it."
"Did your mother meet you every
evening at the theater?"
"Yes, except when Stanford White
came."
"Did you ever go to Rector's, Burns'
or Jack's to supper?"
"I remember going once with mamma
and another lady."
"Did your brother Howard ever go
to the theater for you?"
"I think he did once when mamma
was sick."
"Did you go home with him?"
"Yes."
"Do you know your brother's writ
ing?" "Yes."
"Is this his signature?"
Mr. Jerome showed the witness a
document concealing all but the bot
tom of the last page. -
"Yes. think it is his signature," re
plied Mrs. Thaw.
Photographs in Decollete.
Mrs. Thaw, was recalled to the stand
after the recess and was asked to identify
several photographs of herself. Some of
these were additional copies of the famous
picture In which, dressed in a kimono,
she posed on a white bearskin.
"These were taken at White's studio in
Twenty-second street?"
"It was not his studio. He told me it
Delonged to some one else."
Mr. Jerome exhibited the photographs
ireeiy.
Mrs. Thaw stated that the pictures were
taken upon the day before her experience
in the mirrored bedroom.
"These are fair types of all the pictures
taKcn tnat day. are they not?
"There were some taken in low
neck.
"That day?"
"Yes."
"Your recollection is clear that you
puea in araperies tnat day?
"Yes."
"Was there any exposure of the per
son v"
''They were very low neck."
"Y'ou said this morning there was no
exposure of the person, did vou not?"
"Y'es, I said Stanford White had some
pictures put into a book and gave me
the book."
"Y'ot: have that book?"
"Yes."
"Will you bring the book here tomor
row?" "Yes." . ,
"You had luncheon that day In the
studio was it served from 9heriry's?"
. "I don't know."
Mr. Jerome here formally offered the
photographs in evidence.
"Were those c pictures copyrighted?"
"I don't know."
Checks 'From Trust Company. '
Mr. Jerome handed Mrs. Thaw several
checks and asked if she knew In whose
writing the indorsements were. Five had
been indorsed by her mother: one indorse
ment she did not recognize.
'In whose writing are the indorsements
upon the others?"
It looks like mine."
'As a matter of fact, does It not look
more like your writing than that of any
other human being you ever saw write?"
Yes.
"Where were you living in May, 1902?"
"At the Wellington Hotel."
"Except yourself and your mother.
whose names were the same, was there
another Evelyn Nesbit at the hotel?"
Not that I know of."
"Were you given checks weekly?"
"Yes."
"Isn't that check In the customary
form of the checks you received?"
Mr. Delmas objected.
Mr. Jerome read seven of the checks
to the jury. All were indorsed "Evelyn
Florence Nesbit."
'While you were living at the Welling
ton, were you not entitled to and did you
not ;dra.w $25 a week when you were not
playing? Who furnished that money?"
"Stanford. White."
Mrs. Thaw was asked to identify a
number of receipts signed by tier and ac
acknowledging receipt of various sums of
$25 during 1902. The receipts read:
"Received from the Mercantile Trust
Company $25. .through instructions from
Charles Hartnett'
Mr. Hartnett was Stanford White's sec
retary.
Only Paid When Not Acting:.
Were you to receive this money when act
ing, as well as when not acting?
I don't know.
Have you any doubt, as you sit there.
that you were not. to receive any money
while .playing?
I have.
Then let roe show some letters by Stan
ford White and eee if that will not re
fresh ycur memory?
Mr. Jerome delved Into a big leather
pouch. Mrs. Thaw sat Tlgid. Harry
Thaw straightened up from his bent do-
sition over the table. Mr. fferome asked:
Now, let me ask If you ever saw Mr.
Harnett write?"
No.
Ever see his writing?
Yes.
Mrs. Thaw was given a letter written
by Mr. Harnett, but it did not refresh
her memory upon the point.
Did you ever receive a letter written bv
H. C. Demmlng, vice-president of the Mer
cantile Trust Company?
l don t remember.
Do you. know If such a letter Is in ex
istence? , No.
If it ever was In existence, is it not now
probably destroyed ?
Mr. Delmas objected and was sustained.
Mr. Jerome continued:
I will show you a copy of what purports
to be such a letter.
Mr. Delmas objected. The copv was
placed in evidence. After reading it. Mr.
Jerome asked:
Cannot Remember lottec.'
. Do you now recollect receiving such a
letter from Mr. Demmlng?
I do not. I don't remember much about
that time. I can tell you what I do remem
ber. If you want to know.
I'il get to that all right in time. Have
you such a letter in your possession now ?
No.
Did you ever become aware In December.
1301. or January, 190--'. that a large sum of
money amounting to $1350 had been depos
ited with the Mercantile Trust Company
with Instructions that oft your written ap
plication they were to send you $25 weekly
from January 1, 1902. to January I, 1903?.
I could not pretend to answer that ques
tion, shaking her head. It's too long.
Wore you ever Informed that a sum of
money had been deposited for your benefit
in 10O2 or 1903?
I am not sure of the date.
What amount was deposited?
I don't remember.
Was it a larfire or small sum ?
I don't remember.
Did It make no Impression on your mind?
No.
Knew White Gave Money.
Didn't you know who deposited the
money
Yes.
, Who?
Stanford White.
What was the money deposited for?
1 don't remember.
Did you not know the money b,ad a re
lation to you?
ys.
Wasn't It to be drawn for your benefit
when you were not acting?
1 don't remember.
Did you write this letter? (Mr. Jerome
handed the witness a paper.)
Yes.
The District Attorney read the letter
as follows:
Di'ar Sir I have not been working all last
week a"nd this. Will you Kindly send my
money at once? EVELYN NESBIT.
To whom vas the letter addressed?
I don't remember.
From whom did you want the money?

suppose.
Did you ever have any money deposited to
your credit before this?
Yes.
How much ?
I don't remember.
By whom ? -
Stanford White.
When?
Late in 1901.
At this point a short recess was ordered
by the Court in order to gwe the court
room an airing. 1
Still Cannot Remember.
After the recess Mr. Jerome con
tinued to question the witness on the
subject of the money in the Mercantile
Trust Company, endeavoring to have
her admit that she knew she was only
entitled to draw against the fund when
not employed. Mrs. Thaw continued
to parry the question. The examina
tion continued:
Didn't you on October 24, 1902, write a
letter to the Mercantile Trust Company?
I don't remember.
Did you in the latter part of October go
to play at Mrs. Osborne's Theater?
I think so yes.
What was the name of the play?
"Tommyrot," I believe.
Just before you began to play at "Mrs.
Osborne's, had you not been Idle for a
week?
I think so.
Didn't you at that time address a letter
to the Mercantile Trust Company?
I don't remember.
I will show you a copy of a letter; may
be It will refresh your recollection.
Mrs. Thaw read the paper and hand
ed it back to the prosecutor, saying:
I don't remember it at all.
Now. were you not told you could only
draw this money when you were not work
ins? I don't remember any such definite state
ment. Who gave you the information about this
money ?
I don't remember.
What were you told?
Could Draw Money When Xeeded.
I- was told that some money had been
put in the Mercantile Trust Company and,
when I needed it, I could draw on It. When
we were back in the rent, my mother had
more than I did.
Were you not told that you could draw
certain sums only when you were not work
ing? I do not remember.
Mr. Jerome then read the letter to
the Trust Company, in which Evelyn
Nesbit asked that ber money be sent
her, as she was not working. He then
asked:
In view of this letter, do you not remem
ber one of the conditions under which you
could draw on the fund when you were not
working?
I do not remember.
Mr. Jerome then read another letter
as follows:
Mercantile Trust Company. New York:
Have stopped playing and wish you would
bealn aandlnaejia lis weekly beginning this
Friday coming, until I get another position.
Yours truly, EVELYN NESBIT.
The District Attorney also showed a
check and receipt and asked:
Do these not refresh your memory as to
the conditions?
No. sir.
Don't you remember now that there was
such a condition?
Wrote at White's Dictation.
I do not remember. From that letter I
think I wrote It at the dictation of Stan
ford White. It does not sound like a letter
I would write.
What makes you think Stanford White
dictated it?
Because all important letters about
money matters Stanford White would dic
tate and either my mother or I would have
to sign them.
Did you believe Stanford White when he
told you all women were bad and some were
Imply clever at concealing it.
Yes.
You believed all women unchaste?
Yes.
And you were just 16 years old?
I don't know that I was 16 exactly I
was 16.
When did you beg-in to doubt that prop
osition about all women being unchaste?
Believed AH Women Unchaste.
When I went abroad In 1903.
You believed that all women were bad?
Yes.
When Thaw proposed to you and you re
jected him, did you believe you-were bet
ter than others because you had been rav
ished against your will.
No.
.You had been ravished against your will,
had you not?
I did not have any will about It at all (In
an Injured tone.)
How old were you whenyou went to Eu
rope? Eighteen.
So you say that when you were 161j4 years
old you believed all with whom you asso
ciated that all women were unchaste and
that some had simply been unfortunate
enough to be found out?
Yes.
Have you ever read any fiction?
Yes.
What?
Do you want me to remember all that I
have ever read?
No, just some of the books. Have you ever.
read anything by Dickens?
Y'es.

tures the Bible?

'some sort.
In rejecting Thaw in Paris, had you any
thing in mind other than your own unwor
thiness? No.
Did you consider yourself better than
other women? .
No, sir.
Or worse?

day you had the experience with Stanford
White?
No, sir.

early November? '
I don't think so. I don't remember exactly.
I might find out from my mother.
Yes, but you understand I cannot get your
mother here. Will you try to exert your in
fluence with her to come?
Delmas Takes a Hand.
Mr. Delmas objected to ..this and. ad
dressing Mr. .Jerome, said:
"You have a very full statement from
her mother. You read, from it this morn
ing."
"So you assume," replied Mr. Jerome.
"So I know," retorted Mr. Delmas.
Mr. Jerome again addressed the wit
ness: s
You are sure it was in September or Octo
ber? I am quite sure, but I may be mistaken.
Mr. Jerome banded the witness one of
the photographs she had identified at the
morning session and asked:
Did you wear this dress the day you were
ravished ?
T do not remember.
When did you get the dress? As late as
October. 1901?

1 did not eat any supper.
Didn't you sit down at the table and drink

Mr, Jerome Introduced the register
of the Hotel Savoy, showing: that Eve
lyn Nesbit arrived there October 24.
1903. Mrs. Thaw said the signature
on the register, "Evelyn Nesbit, Paris."
was in her handwriting, but the words
"and maid" were not.
Mr. Jerome then asked a number of
questions in an effort to show when
Whtte first visited the witness after
her return from Europe In 1903 and
when she went to Hummel's office. She
could give no exact date, but thought
it was at least three days after her re
turn before she" saw White on the
street anj he called her up on the tele
phone. "our great love for Mr. Thaw could
not have been crushed in less than four
days, could it?"
"No, sir," replied Mrs. Thaw.

PIE GIRL'S"- TRAGIC FATE
PRETTY SUSIE JOHNSON VICTIM
OP RICH ROUES.
After Brier Notoriety, She Married,
Was Cast Off, Died and Lies
in Potters' Field.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-(Special.) Mrs.
Harry K. Thaw's testimony at the trial
of her husband as to the part -played by
Stanford White in the so-called "pie
girl" dinner has brought forth the story
of that feast and of the fate of Susie
Johnson, the girl who did the "stunt" of
which White was so proud. The hunt
of Susie Johnson's parents for their miss
ing girl, who was supposed to be a
prisoner in the studios, and the girl's
reappearance, her marriage and her
tragic death after her husband had cast
her off. when he discovered that she had
been the plaything of a great artist, were
sensations in their day.
Susie, Johnson is dead. Stanford White
Is dead. But most of the guests of that
dinner are alive and are holding positions
of honor at the head of their craft.
The dinner at that time referred to as
the $3o00 chargpagne dinner was given
by Henry c. Poor, the banker, in the
studio of James 1. Breese, No. 5 West
Sixteenth street, in honor of John Elliott
Cowdin, a noted polo player, who then
divided championship honors with Pox
hall Keenc. Breese was then the fore
most carbon photographer in the country.
Mr. Poor gave the dinner to celebrate the
tenth anniversary of Mr. Cowdln's mar
riage. It was very distinguished company, in
deed. Into which was suddenly introduced
the shrinking little girl from the Ninth
Avenue and Thirty-second street neigh
borhood. Sixteen she was then, of good
American stock, daughter of a well-to-do
mechanic and a mother who had brought
her up in the way she should conduct
herself. .

It wonderfully. You notice the difference

and in the purity of your blood right
away.

mouth or bad breath, either from drink
ing, eating or smoking. Other people will

MADE ENTIRELY OF
PORTO RICAN TOBACCO
That's more than can be truthfully said
about many cigars sold you as Porto Rican.
The recent increase in the cost of
Porto Rican tobacco has brought forward
many so-called Porto Rican cigars which
are made largely from tobacco grown in
the United States. That's why you
should be more particular than ever to get
the genuine '
Cigar S Cents
This is one cigar you can be sure is
Porto Rican in quality as well as in name,
made in Porto Rico, exclusively of Porto
Rican tobacco.
El Toro cigars now being marketed are
finer in quality than ever before because
of the superior excellence of this year's to
bacco crop in Porto Rico, from only the
choicest selections of which El Toro is
made.
There's a band now placed on all genu
ine El Toro cigars. El Toro is superior
to any other cigar sold at five cents.

OF
Treating
Men
Weakness1
In treating ao-called
"weakness" 1 employ no
tonics or stimulants.
"Weakness" In all lta
phases and In practical
ly every case that
comes to me for treat
ment is merely a symp
tom resulting from a
state of chronic Inflam
mation existing in the
prostate eland. This In
flammation may be a
lingering reBUlt of
some contracted disease
or may have been
brought on by early
dissipation, excesses,
etc. In by far the
greater number of cases
the general health of
the patient Is perfect,
there being no lack of
either physical or nerv
ous energy. No stimu
lants or tonics are
needed, and if employed
would only result in
temporary excitement
of the functions and
positive injury to the
tender and already dis
ordered prostate. My
treatment ia a local one
entirely. It removes all
inflammation, swelling
and tenderness from the
prostate - g-land, estab
lishes normal circula
tion ' throughout th
parts and restores per
manently and complete
ly all natural functions.
By this method alone is
It possible to brina
complete restoration of
trenRth and viator.

The best way
to do a thins 1
always the rigrht
way. There Is
usually one best
way. If my meth
ods of treating;
"Weakness," Var
icocele. Contract
ed Disorders,
Specific Blood
Poison, Stricture
and Piles are
right. then all
other methods In
use are. in some
dea-ree at least,
wronr. because
m v treatment in each Instance differs from
the ordinary and Is original with myself.
The treatment that Is quickest to cure, surest
to cure, and that cures thoroughly and per
manently. Is the rig-ht treatment. The test
applied to my methods proves them so ab
solutely right as to class all other forms or
treatment as Imperfect and wrong-. I like,
to make this test. I like to treat the diffi
cult cases that other physicians have failed
to benefit, because I am able to cure them
both promptly and thoroughly.
