Mrs. Thaw Relates

generacy and Brutal
Bestiality ; of Vhito
(Journal - Special Servfce.)' j
New York. " Feb: 19. Mrs.
Evelyn Thaw completed her jdi- i
rect testimony in her husband's
behalf shortly before noon today,
climaxing, it with the sworn
statement that even after she had
become the wife of ftarry Thaw,
White vowed he would, win her
back. She was then turned over
for. grilling cros-eamnaton .
to which it was expected Jerome"
would subject' her, . ,
1 "I will postpone the cross-examination
of the witness," said
Jerome,- "until I can learn
whether.it will be necessary unv
der the points ' involved in;rthe
case." The statement came, as a
thunder clap. What tack the
prosecution has taken is a mys
tery, but it is the concensus of
opinion that instead of seeking to
offset the tremendous effect of
Evelyn's testimony ; by ' ctoss-
Siestioning her and to open all
e secret closets of her past,
Jerome may let her testimony)
Stand. i ;: V',' ; i
To Declare Thaw a .Maniac
This attitude, together with!
other recent ' developments, ,
strengthens the belief that Jerome
will now concentrate every ef
fort on sending Thaw to the
Mattewan asylum for the , crim
inal insane, ". ' .-
The second event in importance
in Evelyn's testimony as show
ing the character of White, was
her narrating of the now famous
story of the v'eirl in the Die." Shei
declared that White had told her
the story and appeared proud of
his feat - in bringing about . the
degradation of the" little 15-year-old
v girl, who figured in the,
episode and who ; later died in
poverty, having been deserted by
her husband when he learned of
her relations with White., , i ,
- The most important feature of
Mrs. J. J. Caine's testimony, who .
was called to the stand after Mrs.
Thaw finished, was the fact that
Thaw;' had offered to settle a :
large amount of money on Mrs.
Holman in return for her using
her influence with Evelyn in his
favor. Vy ; -v ;
' Bvelya ysla, Bnt Self yosssssel,
Kvelyw waa pallid but self-possessed.
She faced the court with a stesdy eye.
She wore the blue drees of the former
dsys af the trial, the low, broad, girlie
collar ef'white, and ths broad, drooping
black hat trtmmeit with a bunch of vio
lets. Her hair was ttd in schoolgirl
fashion with a big bow at the back ef
the neck.
- During Delmss examination Cvetvn
said May McKenste told her in not
that White had aatd of Evelyn. "Never
mind. I'll get her back."
