Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw Two Days
on Stand End is Not Yet
JEROME'S TASK IS DIFFICULT
District Attorney Must Shake Story
of Chief Witness Without Attempt,
ing to Attack Validity of State
ments Made by Her.
I
NEW YORK, Feb. 9. The nature of'
District Attorney Jerome's cross ex- j
animation of Evelyn Nesblt Thaw, who j
has already spent two days on the wit-
ness stand In the defense of her hus -
band, was the principal object of Jis-
cusslon, .when court adjourned late
yesterday until Monday morning. Mrs.
Thaw's direct examination has con-
Unued almost without interruption for
two days and there la as yet no sign
of the climax, the moment when the
attorneys for the defense will turn her
over to the tender mercies of the die-
trlct attorney for cross-examination,
The District Attorney has a difficult
problem to face In this cross examlna-
Hon. With the truth or falsity of the Guards Because of Sentime
stories the witness has testified she! NEW YORK, Feb.9. General Loy
told ber husband, he has nothing tojnaz del Castillo, according to a Ha
do. The statement that she told him
these things Mr. Jerome cannot pos-
slbly disprove. His strongest chance
In cross examination Is to make her
stumble In the story as she told It with
the gentle guidance of her husband's
attorneys, or compel her to admit tel
ling him other things about her past
life which would tend to minimize in'
his mind the effect of the story of her
relations with Stanford! White. He
can introduce evidence, if he has It,
generally affecting her credibility as
a witness, but as to the main state
ments in her story, the testimony
which made her recital perhaps the
most striking ever heard In a court In
this city, Stanford White himself, if
he were alive, could not go on the wit
ness stand and deny them. The point
in the case Is not as to the truth of
these stories, but as to their effect on
Thaw's, mind.
This fact was impressed on the Jury
yesterday when the court, at the re
quest of the District Attorney inform
ed the Jury under the law the prose
cution could not Introduce evidence
with the object of disproving any state
ment that Evelyn Nesblt Thaw has
made, except the statement that shej
told her husband all the things she has I
testified to.

of the further Introduction of what he
i termed, "taltllngs of the tenderloin,'
was plainly shown yesterday when h
! claimed, and was sustained by the
! court as there hud been no evident'
i
j to show that Thaw is now, or eve
was Insane. And until this I shown
I any more cf these stories will be en
tlrely Immaterial. This ruling by th
J court may bar any other stories that
j Evelyn Thaw may have to tell until
such time as It has been shown that
I there is a reasonable doubt as to th
j proper balance of Thaw's mind at the
j time of the shooting.
If this Is done, then the floodgates
are likely to be open for the admission
of almost anything that Thaw may
have tolj his wife or she told him, or
that he heard In any way that to any
j extent may have contributed to the
! unbalancing of his mind.
Thaw's attorneys stated last night
that Mrs. Thaw would again assume
the stand Monday morning on direct
examination, but to what she would
, testify they were not prepared to state.
, Mrs. Thaw appeared yesterday In
the same costume she wore the day
, before. Her testimony was not so In
i terestlng, nor so convincing, for she
; was less direct In her manner of speak
ing anj more dramatic In her delivery,
' Many observers thought she did not
' make as formidable lmpre4n as she
did during her first day on the stand,

IS FOR ENCOURAGEMENT,
NEW YORK, Feb. . Frederick T.
Clates, chairman of the- General Edu
cation Hoard, to which John D. Rock
efeller gave 132,000,000 on Thursday,
said yesterday that tho Income from
Mr. Rockefeller's prior gift of $11,
000,000 will be used to Increase th
resources of the various educational
Institutions in this country within tho
next decade by from $200,000,000 lo
$250,000,000. That Is to ny the board
will aim to stimulate local pride In
and generosity toward universities and
colleges throughout' the nation and Its
distribution of the Income will usually
be conditional upon the raising of large
amounts by the recipients, Thus, gen
erally speaking, Mr. Rockefeller's huge
donation will become- a nucleus for an
amount for education much larger than
his recent present to the board.
