WHEN SHE LEFT THE WITNESS STAND YESTERDAY. New York, TYb, 6. Public Interest In the Thaw trial grows with Ha progress. Evelyn Neehit Thaw's ordeal has only begun. Although he waa on tho witness stand practically all t yesterday's eetoluni. she had on!) brought her narrative down to the time when, after ivpeetedly refusing to marry Thaw, ahe had returned to the stage. This wee in 90S. Today she takee up tha story where she left off last night.

By the consent of both eldee these names were not told aloud In court. Although the story Mrs. Thaw told waa simply the story aa ahe told It to Thaw, and which la supposed to have unhinged hfc mind.

But when she reached the rrnrial part of her tab. ahe wept bitterly, although ahe held up her head and let her tears fall unheeded, ao earnest la ahe in her effort to tell, no matter at what cost to herself, everything that may be of value to the cause of the young d'" fendant who loved her and made hrr hla wife In spite of all Thaw, whea thla part of the story waa told, hurlel hla fare In a handkerrhlef, and hit body shook with sob. While today's testimony will probably lack the dramatic and sensational features of yesterday. It will be no leu important, for everything that has far been told occurred before Thaw made Evelyn Nethlt hla wife. The defense will now try to show that subsequent act of the man whose life waa taken amid the lights and music of the roof garden, an Inflamed the mind of the young husband, that he that became mentally unbalanced; while in this condition be fired the shots which made him. aa he believed, the instrument of Providence In avenging these wrongs.

He stated that be had no thought of impunglng the motive of any executive official in connection with th withdrawal, bnt this wa not the question of the wisdom of the land measure. but of the authority of department to modify, amend, and annul arts of rongre4. Mr, Mondell stated that to remain silent In the presence of the effoct of suspending of the land laws might br constructed Ini an acqulecence Into their validity, and If not challenged these acta will te cited a precedents for further extension of the executive power. While he question of authority for these acta was the most Important one. In view of the great injury that had been done settlers and those seeking to devetop the west and which would Inevitably follow the suspension of land laws over large areax, the question of the wisdom or necessity for these wholesale withdrawals and suspensions was also important. He declared it would have been neither wise nor necessary to Issue the orders in question had their been authority for no doing n end be pointed out that, while 64 acres In the states and all of Alaska had been withdrawn, the government had only disposed of 40n,0b acres under the coal land laws '1 thirty years. In view of these facte he suggested that even had it been within the authority of the Interior department to do ao. there could be nu warrant In withdrawing from coal entry over fifteen hundred times mo-coal' land than wne entered last yes'. At the rate of last year's scale It would take over 1.800 years to of thr coal lands that bad been withdrawn from entry, not taking Into consideration the millions of acre In Alaska. Hence, he contended, there waa little disposition to suggest that , the government coal land would h gobbled up in the Immediate future If not withdrawn. m"-lio- w d's-po- |
