Long before the jury and the prisoner got back there were {wo men + seated where only one had been planted before, and two dozen of these | they might sit down. = The Disiricl-Atforney Ted off by Silire the Court's attention to th fact that two important witnesses were in town. He sald they should be] {called now, as-they—were_about_to_leave the State, in which case they could not be brought back. They were, he said, Drs. Bingamon- and ‘Deemar, the Thaw fimily physicians from Pennsyivania: Both had tes tified directly, and the prosecutor had the fear that they would get away before he grilled them. He said he expected to have thm on the stand under fire for a day and a half. The Court, however, exhibited no disposition to break up the or- der of testimony. The physicians were sent for in order that ‘they might tell whether or not they desired*to slip away before the District-Attorney quizzed them: ~ EXPERT ON THE STAND. Dr. Deemar -took-the-stand.—He-explained that he had-a- practice in—Pittsburg;which demanded his. attention and that there was sickness vin his family, -Justice- Fitzgerald was. pratty-brusque in his rulings... “This Court does not intend,” he said, shaking his heavy head at the “District-Attorney, “to force any. particular order of testimony, nor does -it.careto-work, any hardship on. these. gentlemen. 1 will I sit to- morrow, which is a holiday, ind if necessary I will sit Saturday in in order |’ that the testimony Of these (Wo physicians may be heard. ta the mean- while they must remain in the jurisdiction ofthis Court.”” The lawyers for the defense grew suspicious of Jerome’s latest switch. They. scented a possible trap to bring out proofs to favor Thaw's ipresent insanity with-a view to having a-commission ‘In-lunacy appointed. He agread {6 postpone their examination for the time being. TheCourt.at the close_of the late session decided to adjourn the triaf until next Monday morning.~ z DRIVEN TO.TEARS AT LAST, Disirict-Attorney Jerome got nothing out of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw in the early session except tears. He could not tear down the story she has fold on fhe stand-in her husband's trial for murder.-So, by-dint of merciless badgering, by pressing demands for all the smaller hideous details of her alleged wrong at the hands of Stanford White, he at length forced her For tenseness and for tragedy it was the biggest moment of this big, tense, tragic trial. All morning he dug away, with prying, pitiless hands at the very foundation of the young wife's shame, doing his lawyer-like best: to fense. He didn’t succeed—not for a minute did he come anywhere near succeeding. In the minor shadings and turns of the serpentine inquisi- tion Evelyn Thaw held her own with him well, parrying his questions with seemingly candid answers, having about them every element of.in- noceiice, yet such“answers were they that Jerome found himself not balked, but actually checkmated. BROTHER NOW FAVORS EVELYN. The pathetic story told by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw on the witness stand has won-over her brother Howard. In a statement made to an Evening World reporter to-day, Howard | Nesbit said: | “Much has been said and much has been written about what lam) going to do if Iam called to the witness stand in the trial-of- Harry Thaw, but you-can say for me, through your papér, that if 1 take the stand | will not say anything to hurt or injure my sister or against her.
