He told them that his wife was in bad Bhape, and requested that she be given an opportunity to recover herself. Attorney Delmas then set about to so rearrange the plans of the defense that Mrs. Thaw's presence in court as a witness would not be required until Tuesday. If this plan, does not miscarry, Mrs. Thaw will not be recalled nntil Tues­ day and her crass-examination by Dis­ trict Attorney Jerome will begin Wednesday, a day later than had been anticipated. Juror 6teele Not Well. Another development Sunday that startled those directly concerned in the case was the reported illness of a juror. Visions of a mistrial were soon dispelled, however, for it was ascer­ tained that the illness of the juror was not such as threatened to inca­ pacitate him. Wilbur F.

Thaw rose Sunday after what he de­ clared had ,been a restful 'night, in good spirits and with a hearty appe­ tite.

New York.--Evelyn Nesbit Thaw again Friday was the central figure at her husband's trial. She was still on the stand--her direct examination unfinished--when the usual week end adjournment until Monday morning was taken. Picking up the threads of her life's story where she had dropped them the evening before, the girl wife of the de­ fendant--always, she declared, telling her story just as she had related it to Harry Thaw from time to time-- brought the narrative' down to her wedding in Pittsburg, on < April ,4, 1905, and their return to New York following a honeymoon trip in the west. She declared she had heard White call to her on the Btreet once after this and that on another occas­ ion when Bhe passed him in a cab she noticed his cab tarn around and fol­ low her in the direction of a doctor's office, where she was going to have her throat treated.

Jerome in Hot Protest. District Attorney Jerome, whohad throughout silently listened to the young wife's statements, sent a thrill of excitement through the courtroom late in the day by jumping to his feet and vigorously protesting against "this defamation of the dead." "Tg ihare no... limit." ha exclaimed Btie of him II In the same it JustljWrFltsgeraldh«W that the dis­ trict amip^^i|HpBattDn was a good one. and he thftqfkt the defense should lay a broaderJoatodation to afro* Insanity before .proceeding along the lines suggested by Mr. Delmas' Question.

"I tdld Harry," she said, "that Mr. White had begged me, had pleaded and cried and scolded, and done every­ thing he could to make me come to see him alpne. I refused and he told me I was cruel and that I was as cold as a fish and not a htunan being. 1 told Mr. White I didn't care to trust him." - After her return from Europe, and during the months she would not see Harry Thaw "because of the dreadful things Mr. White and his friends told me about him," she declared Thaw ac­ cused her of improper delations with the architect. "I told him It was a Me and Qttkl had not," sho testified, with an ^n phatic show of feeling. The defense had Mrs. Thaw tell of another incident which has been cited in her life--her acquaintance with "Jack" * Barrymore, the actor. Mr. Barrymore was in> the courtroom one day during the early part of the trial, at the instance of the district attor­ ney, it was said. Mr. Delmas asked Mrs. Thaw Friday to tell what she had told Mr. Thaw of her acquaint­ ance with the actor. . » Jack Barrymore Prip&sed. She said she had first • met Barry­ more at a party given by Stanford White, the year following her* intro­ duction to the architect. "I thought him very nice," She frankly said, "and one day at Mr. White's studio he said, 'Evelyn, will you marry me?' I said, 1 don't know.' He asked me a second time, and again i said, 'I don't know/ and everybody laughed. Mr. "White told me I would be very foolish to marry Mr. Barrymore, and my mother said so, too, and we all quarreled, and the upshot of the whole thing was that Mr. White said I ought to be sent away to school, and I was, to New Jersey." , v More of Thaw's Letters. The day began with a continuance of the reading of the letters from Harry Thaw to Mr. Longfellow, writ­ ten after Evelyn Nesbit's revelations to her suitor in Paris. There were others, too, which Thaw had sent the attorney to deliver to Miss Nesbit, who, at the time, would not see him. Mrs. Thaw followed these with a re­ lation of her experiences with Stan­ ford White and Hummel concerning the alleged affidavit which she made charging Harry Th%w_ JpM* k§vt*g ;LS!

H. Merwin exercised over her, according to statements she made to friends, Miss Maud Slater Saturday shot and killed the physician and committed suicide. The bodies were found in Dr. Merwip's -office. A revolver was in the woman's hand, and the police say there is no doubt she shot the doctor and ended her own life. The tragedy has brought to light a strange story; Friends of Miss S'ater say she and Merwin had been sweet­ hearts f for four yearB. The girl told Miss Leah Thomas that the doctor had wronged her. Miss Thomas says that Miss plater told ke.r she was unable to resist the power of Dr. Merwip's will. When­ ever* he summoned her to his office by means of this influence which she' believed almost superhuman, she said, she was utterly without the power to resist! After having visited the doctor, Mies Thomas said, Miss Slater reproached herself bitterly, and declared she would resist him in future, but each time she was unable to do so. >a • "She went to his office last Wednes­ day," said Miss Thomas, who was a close friend of Miss Slater, "and upon her return tore her hair and became almost insane in ranting against him. She said she had a plstol -at home and that she was going to kill him." Miss Slater told her' friends that she and Dr. Merwin had been engaged and that he had broken the engage­ ment Dr. Merwin's friends tafee a different view of the case. They say the physi­ cian had been ^annoyed by the girl, who telephoned him and wrote letters to him frequently. The doctor him­ self said some time ago that Miss Slater, .through jealousy, had caused to be polished an announcement'oft his engagement to another woman, which had no foundation.

Port au Prince, Hayti.--The rela­ tions between the governments of Hayti and Germany are strained, owing to the refusal of the German bankers, Hermann & Co., by direction of the court at Port au Prince, to re­ turn to the Haytian® government large sums of money alleged to have been obtained fraudulently. Among the alleged transactions of Hermann & Co. with the Haytian gov­ ernment was one which is said to have have proved favorable to the govern­ ment. This was concluded by the Haytian minister of finance, the Ger­ man legation and Hermann & Co. Th» German minister demanded that this transaction, as well as others, be an­ nulled, but the Haytian government, in terms that the; German minister deemed offensive, refused' to acqulsece.

We don't know whether this defendant ever was insane." he concluded. Court Curbs "Defamation." The question which called out tike vehement protest from the district at­ torney was addressed to Mrs. Thaw by Mr. Delmas, and its purport was whether or not Harry Thaw had at any time told her about "other girls who had met a fate similar to yours at the hands of this man." "What man?" snapped Mr. Jerome. taken her from her mother against her will, and with gross cruelty. Mrs. Thaw told how she had been induced to answer some questions about her­ self and Mr. Thaw at the time, and had ben told the stories about, bis "cruelties to girls." Stanford White had told her, she declared, that it was necessary to take drastic measures to protect her from such a person and that Harry Thaw must be kept out of New York. e3 She denied that she had ever signed any papers in Mr. Hummel's office, but said she remembered having signed some papers for Mr. White in "his of­ fice," the contents of- which she did not know. When she got frightened about the papers and demanded to see them she said Mr. White took her to Hummel's office and there they burned a paper which had her name at the bottom of it.
