It was said last nlrht that If there was tfma after the alienists finished. Evelyn -' To aw would be recalled and wouW con-, ttnue her testimony, reciting- th stories which her husband told her reR-mrdlnjr the " other girls who he believed had suffered at the hands of White, as she told him she had eufferad. Theaa are the girla for whom Thaw provided a fund in th codicil to his will, . which waa read in evMenc yesterday. Th names of these girls, which are mentioned In the document, were not read yesterday and will not be disclosed, but District Attorney Jerome haa them, and it Is understood haa seen all the girls referred to and baa obtained from them their story. That h will be able to put any of these stories before th Jury there Is little probability. But he could us them in his eroas-egtatnlnatlon of Evelyn Thaw. Th proceedings late yesterday after-noon after-noon gav a hint of what would com - when Jerome began his cross-examlna-' Hons. He made a brief preliminary croas-examinatlon croas-examinatlon of Dr. Evans and plainly showed that when he should go Into the general cross-examination of the experts It would b very searching. There are few if any lawyers who have a better knowledge of -medicine, aa applied -to neurology and insanity, and that he would take full advantage of bis knowledge waa certain. Jerome and Dr. Evans are not on friendly terms, and th clash between them waa expected to b Interesting. On the other hand it was shown that Delmas would do everything in his power to protect pro-tect his witnesses from Jerome's sarcasm and would not leave them to their own resources, aa did his predecessor, Gleason, to Dr. Wiley of Pittsburg. |
