During 1903 T dined in a res- taurant, where I met Mrs, Thurston Warren and ‘a young Woman who was with her. The young lady was Evelyn Nesbit.” “Had .you ever seen Evelyn Thaw before?”’ interrupted .Mr. Cook. /- “Yes,"i answéred Thaw, “I saw her once before on the stage. After I met her'inithe restaurant, T 'met her once again that year. I called to see her &t her mother’s apartment at Thirty- ninth street and Broadway. “I forget whether it was in a hotel o1 in an apartment house.

She told he how she came to New York with her mother as a girl and how she went on the stage because she needed the money. Thaw Tells of Jerome. Mr. Cook began by establishing the connection of William Travers Je- rome with Thaw’s various legal bat- tles. Thaw said Jerome had been in charge of the prosecution in his two trials of the slaying of Stanford White and also appeared for the state in the habeas corpus proceedings brought by Thaw in 1909 and 1912. “Did Mr. Jerome's constant appear- ance in opposition to you create any personal feeling between you?” ask- ed Mr. Cook. “Up until 1912, I think our feelings were nothing but impersonal,” - an- swered Thaw. “What happened in changed these relations?” “I was put in the very singular po- sition of being forced to. defend Stan- ford Whitt ageinst aspersions made by Mr, Jerome and in doing it I made some remarks that may have been personal.” “What was the situation which forced you into defending Stanford White?"” “Mr. Jérome made some insinua- tions against Mr. White for which there weas absolutely ne proof.” If it had been Mr. Cook's intention to get Thaw to exhibit any animos- ity against the former district attor- ney, he had failed. Heard of Rich Enemies. Mr, Cook then launched into a long line of questioning regarding Thaw's belief some rich man was putting uo money to keep him in Matteawan. “I had that impression in .1912," gaid Thaw. “I had been told it by so many peopie.” “Have you still that opinion since Mr. ome has withdrawn from the case asked Mr. Cook. Thaw could not tell when he had White first | got where me the whole 1912 that time since 1912. He was very careful in making all his answers and in choosing the words he used in framing his sen- tences. Frequently there were pauses of several seconds between question in his chair gazing at the ceiling. Mr. Cook pursued the line of ques- the reasons he had for it. Thaw men- tioned Clarence J. Shearn, now a jus- tice of the supreme court, who was counsel for him at one of his hear- tained this belief. Mildly Rebukes Cook. “Why be so particular about this, Mr. Cook?” Thaw finally burst out. “Especially at this time, when it doesn’t exist.” “Then you think any efforts by 1l Slightly prices.

Thaw was asked to tell about the ‘‘publicity campaign” which char- acterized one phase of his story in Matteawan. He said he never hired Alfred Henry Lews, the author, as his press agent. He said the whole pub- licity plan was forced on him by friends and was carried out without his leading it. Tells About Dr. Ferris. “Did you ever have any trouble with Dr. Ferris?” asked Mr. Cook, point- ing to Dr. Ferris in a group of alien- ists. ‘ ‘Yes,”” said Thaw. “Dr. Ferris re- signed as "superintendent of Mattea- wan after my counsel had preferred charges against him. Dr. Ferris was very amiable (o me always; he was amiable even after he left Matteawan. I think his attitude toward me is still an amiable one.” Thaw made his statement with a glance in the direction of the alien- ists, with a slight smile. Replying to questions, Thaw indi- cated he had a poor opinion of the qualifications of Dr. Baker, who act- ed as superintendent of Matteawan after Dr. Lamb resigned in 1911. Dr. Lamb, on the other hand, he held in high esteem. “What do you think of Justiee Shearn?” cut in Mr. Cook, referring to Thaw's former counsel. “I think he is a very conscientigus man,” said Thaw, “and he never said a word he did not fully believe.” Thaw read extracts from speeches summing up the evidence of alienists at his sanity hearing in New Hamp~l shire. 1 “But you recognize those views are | only the opinions of Justice Shearn?" | Shows Signs of Temper. “I hope vou do not insinuate by vour question that Justice Shearn Seven pieces price $185.00. would ever, voice an opinion he couid not fully substantiate,” Thaw retort- ed.
