It would seem that the climax of sensationalism sen-sationalism had been reached yesterday, but it is said the District Attorney expects ex-pects to bring out on Monday incidents of at least as sensational a character as those of yesterday. No woman ever before faced a more terrible ordeal on the witness stand than did Evelyn Nesbit Thaw an ordeal or-deal that is not yet half over. Break Down Once. Although it was very evident that this slender, frail, childish wife of Harry- K. Thaw was under a great strain (.Continued on Page 10). , THAW TRIAL . (Continued from Page 1) yesterday, only once did she give way to tears. That was when, after fencing fenc-ing with the District Attorney for au hour, she was finally driven into a corner cor-ner by his almost brutal questioning, and took refnge in tears. But even then the tears did not seem to be caused so much by the details she was obliged to tell as by the fact that with all her fencing sne had not-been able to keep to herself the secrets which she knew must injure her husband 's. chances. Throughout the day Harry Thaw sat in his accustomed place at the end of the table, flanked on both sides by ' his law3-ers. When his wife wept he buried his face in his hands for a moment, but during most of the day he made notes on a pad of paper or conversed excitedly excited-ly in whispers with those of his counsel coun-sel who sat nearest him. When court adjourned he hurried back to the Tombs with a smile on his face. i European Trip in 1904. The detail of the European trip of 1904 is still to be gone into. The return re-turn to America and the false announcement announce-ment of Thaw's marriage to Evelyn Nesbit when the first scsndal arose, is still to be told of. The facts of the pursuit rf the young woman by Stanford Stan-ford White after her marriage, which the defense told of in the opening days, must be brought out. The relations of the two before the marriage must be described in detail. Of course, the actual truth of the storv which Mrs. Thaw told her husband, hus-band, and which is said to have unbalanced unbal-anced his mind, rannot be questioned. If she told him the story and as a result re-sult his mind became deranged, the truth of the story is immaterial. All that the cross-examination can develop is a doubt as to the veracity of the witness, wit-ness, a doubt as to whether she really did tell him or not. That is all the cross-examination caD show all but one thing. Question for Jury. It is for the jury to decide whether constant brooding on the story which Evelyn Nesbit told Harry Thaw about her treatment at the hands of Stanford White actually caused derangement of his mind sufficient to make him incapable inca-pable of knowing he was doing wrong when he killed White. Did Thaw's actions ac-tions after he heard the story; did his relations with Evelyn Nesljit, covering a period of two years after this revelation; revela-tion; did his treatment of her and of White, and a thousand other things indicate in-dicate that he was brooding over the story or that he was taking advantage of itt This is for the jurv to decide, and this is the doubt that District Attorney At-torney Serome is attempting to instill in the minds of the jurors. Whatever the result may be, this is certain Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's ordeal is not nearly over. |
