But Is Almost eS Unnered i by Fear reall the Story She Will Tell May Cause the Thaws to Cast Her Off. NOT ONE OF THEM IN SYMPATHY WITH HER. Harry Thaw in Court Pays Little Heed to His j Wife, Reserving His Smiles and. Nods. for His Mother, By EE Greeley-Smith. O-DAY begins the secoid week of the Thaw trial. ‘Fite—meens;-s0 far as: actuilities are concern- ed, the steady, wenrl- some hooking of jurors from the panel of unwilling talesmen by ——the-cpectaculas- Mr. Jerome for the}, prosecution and the quiet but ef- fective Mr. Hartridge for the ‘de- __fonse, Both these fishars of med | are actors, as, | suppose, all good lawyers Have to be, more or less. But at present intorest In and out of the court-room centres, not in the actual but in the potential. and the thrill of what Is about to happen carries one over the dreary monot- ony of what is going on. Public attention in this greatest Hfe drama of psater New-York: has knewny focussed not on the minor char- ters—lawyers, witnesses and jurymen—but on the principals in the tragic cast, who have not: yet | spoken a word; on Harry ‘Thaw, the defendant, and the four. wom- en, his mother, wife und sisters, _who hang upon his fate. zi For three days these falthfal wom- | pe MTFOLA GREHLLE-P7ETX. on have braved the stares of the —enrlous-andthe long tedious hours to be Boat Hurry ‘Thaw in his ordeal. And to me the most remarkable thing avout this litte group ts that the ry Thaw should have bound together, whether they: wiil t, 1 86 Fadieutty tiferent, 2o-ineradicably-antagonistle-as-his another and his pretty chorus-gir! wife. THAW’'S WIFRE-AND MOTHER ANTAGONISTIC. Though the two sit together in court and preserve fairly well the out- wvard evidences of friendliness, and though ventational stories of “breaks” and qvarrels that we read aif promably have tittle foundation, the nature and lives of the two women make It impossible for any real sympathy to exist between them. One of the women Js responsible for Thaw’s life, the other for the crime fie may have to-answer-for with that Ilfe, Ono sf them bears on her tace the stamp of tho goodness and virtue tm-which she was trained and in which the moral forces of yoclety contrib- uted to keep her; the other, poor, pale, whito moth, bears In her cyes and on her svuul the marks of the flame, Harry ‘Phaw's mother could never understand Harry Thaw's wife, (Svetyn,; pale wraith of beauty that she ts, Nye habitation of a dead-sout “that she seems, would never waste time trying to interpret the elder woman. ‘To-the jealousy that nature creates between the, mother and the wife fs added the enmity man places between tho untempted and the temptress. —'To-one of them Thaw douotiess has given many happy hours. He way probably as nice a baby, as pleasant to hold and make clothes for and give baths to as any other, No man has ever lived,-Indeed, who did not leaye pome pleasant recollection to his mcther, But If the fragile girl: upon whose testimony he depends for Bis acquittal has any pleasant memories? of her wifehood beyond those Tivolving the purchuse of clothes, her face ‘Pelles. her, IF EV ILYN WINS, SHE-LOSES.— —“Onewould-think;--wil her stage training, -her life in studios and-her early agsoclation with the-swiftest people in-New—York, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw would ehrink less from the publicity of the court-room than cher “mother-in-law, who had probably never faced “wny” save a ‘social assem. | “blage before. But it is not-so, ‘Fhe elder woman is by far the more com posed —Perhaps. “this. may be accounted tor by the. Tigwiniez Dvelyn- Thaw, must have that-her testimony 1s looked upon to save her husband. The task before her ts tremendous one“to’ which the bravest woman would be no more Miah Adequate: —!Phere_are-very_few women inthe world-to hardenod-as not to shrink tram the orden! before this _twenty-year-old girl.

And ll this with the fear ever at har! heart that the degrading story will be fold In vain. t But if it is not told vainly, if by baring her besmirched soul to Harr: Thaw's jury, she averis the unsheathed sword of Justice from his head, oie _— she find, her reward in the final turning of his heart to hers?
